What was your opinion Storm? I have taken many a picture to explain this, and I'll make a another post with those included, but basically... True braked first, but before that you were just barely alongside the rear quarter panel. It took you another 0.385 seconds before you braked for the corner. You shot half a car width wide of the apex before the front of the car had enough grip to turn the corner... which definitely indicates to me that you were carrying too much speed, thus I can safely say that you were more focussed on gaining a place than you were making the corner safely and with consideration to other drivers. In short, keeping your line was the last concern on your mind in that moment, and quite frankly my pictures of your driving in that instance disappoint me...

Fair enough. I take all blame for that accident then. Although I wasn't intentionally trying to throw my car up the inside to gain the place without caring about anyone else. I still get a bit twitchy when I'm along side other drivers because I'm new to this, and that's definitely something I need to work on. It was on the last lap too, so I was already nervous enough about getting my first podium, so maybe that took away my focus. :/ Sorry again.

I was also not happy about you driving ash, we talked about it and I hope you get it now. Cutting people off when you pass is not something I have seen before in this club. I can't believe you didn't feel the same bump as me. It wasn't the wall you were hitting it was me... twice!! But yet again you were way faster so...

Any laptimes so I can work out laps?
I won't be on early as i'm going to take the PS3 apart and clean it out. It's leaking out from under the edges and its so thick lol, should hopefully stop it overheating so much and work properly
Hope racing tonight is good. At least one night lol
Also nnext week i'll be up at uni for an open day, and I can't guarantee i'll be back in time, sso do people want to postpone or shall someone else run the night?

I'm practicing now if anyone wants to join me. Going to try and get my issues sorted out. Hopefully practicing will give me a better idea of my limits on and off the racing line. EDIT: Are we allowed to change gear ratios?

All you need to remember is to spend more time off the throttle. When your side by side, just let the car roll through the corner Nope, only Brake Balance allowed. Oh no forgot about that huge straight I'll be on soon, just going to take a vacuum cleaner to it for now and take it apart later lol

Sorry for the miss tonight, I wasn't able to make it and like everything else in this dystopian world I was only told so a few hours prior.

It was a good session in the end! Race 1 was a clusterf**k of lag spikes, and though I ended up 18 seconds behind after the pits, to be 14 behind in the end abd with FL showed my pace was real. Not bad for absolutely no practice, eh? Race Two... A pole to flag finish, was funny to see me beat my pole time after just three laps, although I missed my chance to do better with lower fuel by messing up a tad every lap... Race 3, my favourite of the night. Hats off to ash the whole night for his pace, and the battles on track were divine! Caught True and Ash napping after they tried to give each other position, but Ash wasn't going to give up once I got within striking distance. After I managed to get past him before the stops, I pitted early to give True the lead lap point... but he followed me in! I was livid, had purposefully pitted earlier to do a bit of team play, had I realised I would have gone later into the race like I did in Race 2, but the battle I ended up having with Ash until the final stages was epic! I think there's a lap where Ash and I were side by side through a lot of corners and straights, but the slalom at the end of the lap was my trump card, and gave me the breakaway I needed to secure my first ever back to back win! He did get FL though, I'm gutted... It's worth a watch if you have the replay.

docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1I9wRx03RwFYNT87MdyQQTaqXAAKqE0dJ6Cylm1e2w6k/edit?usp=sharingsorry for the delay Good racing the other night, just didn't have the pace. Especially all season, not my car lol. Well done to storm for winning the title. I wont be able to make it this week due to my induction week at uni, i'm up all week, and as the championship is already wrapped up, if someone wants to run it for the night then let me know. It's been a great few season of GTTCC, and shame this season hasn't reflected the rest. With any luck if people get settled into jobs/family and the game improves, we can try again in a few months perhaps

I might be wrong, but I could've sworn I got 2nd place in the second race? Otherwise I wouldn't have had less power in the third race.
