I'll check out the video, but I think where I am loosing quite a bit of time is some in turn 1, turn 3 and then the final turn which is super dangerous depending how much brake is being used. Usually almost always ends in disaster.

You need super smooth inputs through those corners. I was yeeting around the GR86 but I think using the gen 2 BRZ and being smoother would yield a much better time. The camber changes in the corners are a real bitch.

The GT7 FT86Club League

Was watching Ford v Ferrari, then I got inspired, and decided to take good ole 787B for a spin. Pretty shitty lap but that engine sound is fuckn majestic.

Yeah, I hate this track. Lol. Did 6 torturing laps in each car. On the bright side, I've improved my times from the last time we had a round here. LOL

If I could time travel I’d go back 1hr and tell myself not to do this. 2nd gen 1:26.436. I had no desire to try 1st gen.

Boy this site really doesn’t like my phone

Could’ve been worse lol. We could’ve pick this track but driving the Shigeno 86. It is damn near impossible.

I think the original statement of the track sucking is correct. I would think it could have been worse if we picked a different layout of Willow Springs.

I start getting annoyed with it and start overdriving. I really don't like this layout. It is challenging to drive which is kinda fun, I guess, but not really.

The Ring is challenging and engaging. Willow Springs is just annoying

Big Willow is the only layout that I can stand driving on. The other layouts downright anger me.
