And the Genesis VGT TT at Monza...am I the only one who hates it? I had to restart so many times with just the first corner. I managed two laps and called it quits. I was getting so mad...

I haven't even set a time on that abomination. Mostly I keep spinning out and the braking zones are way off compared to other cars. |

The thing is, for this particular part, I know the track very well. Watkins Glenn, in my favorite configuration. But I think that from now on I won't qualify and just pick the outliers. Deep Forrest (Race C) went a lot better considered that I started 11th and ended 7th by just basically surviving and squeezing thru tight doors left open. |

That Miata freaking rips at Road Atlanta. Love the setup. Im convinced the engine revs up to 9K before it tops out.
Wish there was a way to install another tachometer/speedometer. |

Yes that is one of my big peeves in the game (inability to install aftermarket tachs). Because of course in real life I'd swap in a supercharged V8 or 4 rotor...but not take the small step of an appropriate tachometer, haha.
Are you going to attend the Miata race my buddy is hosting tonight? I cannot make it; haven't returned from traveling yet.

I'll try to make the Thursday races. For sure I can't make the Monday races since I don't get off of work until 5pm pacific.
Interesting about the max weight. I don't really do weight reductions on cars, but it looks like I'll have to buy a couple more Skylines and apply weight reductions on it. Yeah, I like Skylines. LOL |

VGT.. I feel bad for Kaz. These things have to be a huge pride point for him/PD. Meanwhile the only thing I can think of that pisses his customers off more than a new VGT is microtransactions. It ran its course long ago.. I do think they should pull the plug on that project. The new weekly challenges look OK. I'm not really looking forward to them any more though I obsessively have to complete them, usually in one sitting since I tend not to get multiple opportunities per week to play. So they've been a little chore-like. I realized this a few nights ago when I sat down and looked through my garage to find cars I'd like to drive just to drive, really enjoyed for first time in a while. |

Change to the Thursday races. We're going to do 2 shorter races. 8 laps each.
