I don't even remember what I got, or even if I did that TT. Haha

But yeah, Fuji is just a hard track overall for me. Only reason why I even tried is cuz I like the Supra. Lol

Woops, got confused with the LFA daily race. The Supra was at Trial Mountain. Lololol

I really like this week's daily races. Dragon Trail Seaside is a fun time and the Mazda 3 just cruises through it. Ended second after some exceptional racing with 1st place on a Ferrari Italia, guy defended incredible even after I kept posting fastest laps.



Also, I see some of you online from time to time, do feel free to party up so we can have so nice practice runs!

Edit: whoops, rd 3, I haven’t hardly played in a month.

Also whoops, saw there was no pit stop required, didn’t see that you are required to run both tires. Quailed 5th, got to 1st with 6 to go and pulled away, 1 min penalty. Easily should have still won if I pitted Demoted to 5th, still worth 94 pts in the lobby I was in which isn’t bad.

That track was beastly! I was seriously concerned about wall penalties (1.5 seconds for brushing a wall, even on the INSIDE of a turn?! Such crap) but I ended up doing pretty well. Tapped a wall in qualifying (1.5 sec penalty) but my 2nd lap was clean and I qualified 9th. My race was pretty clean with just a few butt clenching oversteer moments and I did an amazing job of dodging a lot of chaos around me (many cars spun or spinning directly in front of me). I slid into the grass entering the pits (FFS!) which was a nice 4 second penalty. Ended up finishing 6th. Probably would have been 5th without that penalty (since that cost me a good 6 seconds easy). But I still got 107 points given it was a fairly strong lobby (GT2, B). So I decided 1 and done was the way to go here.

I'm running with team Aston Martin, which seems to be quite the minority choice. I'm one of less than 30 people that picked them, lol. Though that has its advantages as I'm ranked #1 of all AM drivers, hah, so a little xtra $$$. Last race is tonight.

I love that track but she can be brutal. I did a second race, qualified p6, got punted into the wall and then spun and had 4.5 sec of penalties at the start. Dropped back to last, made it back up to 6th. Decided to do a 3rd race, quali P6, got up to 2nd and then lost it after getting a penalty grazing the wall. The guy that passed me and was P2 but he forgot to change tires so I ended up 2nd anyway.

RX8 at the Nurburgring GP T.T is the stuff of nightmares, Im almost at gold, but that track is just so technical. At least is not Fuji.

Has anyone done the Masters licenses yet? I'm on test two of the last one, Master Super. And it's driving a 930 around the RallyX track at Catalunya. I absolutely HATE that track and avoid it as much as possible. I have no earthly idea how I'm going to Gold this test (already bronzed it).

I haven’t even finished all the super license tests yet lol.

I did, and that test almost made me rage quit. The last test was much easier for me than that rallyx test.

Don't go into 2nd gear. Stay in 3rd for those low speed corners. I think there was only one corner where I actually had to go into 2nd.

Yep, 2nd gear kills that car on the corners, but then 3rd lacks so much torque at the lower RPMs. I might give it another try because I found out my ABS was set to standard instead of weak.

Got enough monies on Best Buy gift cards for my B-day that I ordered a PSVR 2. Arriving today. I am beyond excited.

It's AMAZING. Totally different game. When you can actually look towards the exit of the turn it's so much easier. Also the immersion is just incredible. My friends are always amazed at my 85" TV and I'm just like eh whatever I got VR I don't even need the TV anymore.. Sometimes when you wreck hard it's mildly traumatic though.

I'm struggling with the Red Bull menu. Anyone got any tips/pointers?

[spcmafia]

This is freaking surreal. Of course I went on a drive on the Porsche 992 GT3 and just cried whilst sitting inside my fake car. But then I tried to beat my own time at the T.T and came one second from my best time.
This changes the game completely.

Here’s my best lap.
