Mikepjbell reacted to GazzaGarratt in Gran Turismo 23 March & Round 4 Spring League
I've struggled for a number of weeks and continue to go backwards with the wheel but i'll keep persisting as its all about learning.
I couldn't come to terms with my crash at the time on the second race but outside of that it was an extremely good race and as you say @Greboth, your highlight reel pretty much shows how close and fun the racing was. Lots of really good overtakes by all and well done @Mikepjbell for getting that win.

Amazing what a good strategy will do for your position.

It’s going to be a while until I live that down isn’t it?!
I think Tom needs to work on his consistency as the last few races he’s been pretty fast but even without my help he’s spun too many times.
I agree about Crispy too, certainly making gains quickly. Lee seems a but inconsistent with the wheel but some more time with it I think he can match (and beat) his controller times which will move him back to challenging for the podium.

I think @LordBaguette is fast in a single lap but needs to avoid trouble during the opening laps of the races, a bit more ducking and diving or anticipation of mistakes from others. Although there was nothing you could do about @Greboth booting you off!
Agree that @crispymorgan keeps getting faster each week and will be at the front of the pack with us before long!

I'm almost at the point where I'm comfortable in the wheel now, my only weakness is braking. I also need to learn better composure. You're definitely the better driver but you're just about in reach enough to give me that competition to raise my game. I'm really enjoying it.
When @GazzaGarrattgets to grips with his wheel that will be an added challenge.
I also get the feeling @crispymorgan is going to show us his speed when hes more used to the game.
@LordBaguette has shown he has the pace in qualifying once he knows a track, just needs to push on. Personally I'd keep TCS at 2 judging by all the break dancing you like to do each race.
I think everyone that races is improving to be honest and it's nice to see.

I'm not sure who's to blame either but I'm sure it was you or Kiwi 🤣

Great racing again last week. The spring race was good, glad I kept hold of P3 and I think that's going to be my realistic target this year, I feel like Phil and I are the red bulls of the pack at the moment haha.
Still not happy about blue moon, but I don't know who the point the finger at 😂
Looking forward to the next race tomorrow!!

Awesome write up. In my defence of hitting Lee though I saw he out braked himself so I braked early to give him some space but someone behind me wasn’t expecting it so rear ended me into Lee anyways 😂🙈 Sorry Lee 🙈

These things happen mate, as I said to Shucker in the main thread driving by yourself isn’t that interesting. Racing close and side by side is, it’s just here accidents happen too. You try to not hit people but you will at some point, all you can do is say sorry and try to avoid it next time. Well unless you’re Mike who has a pathological need to always hit Phil 😆

Another great write up 🙂
The league was a really enjoyable race and not just because I didn't get booted up the arse.

I’ve loved getting back into GT. used to play it years ago with some mates. Haven’t played it for probably over 10years. Getting back into it no doubt is gonna be a long hard slog again getting upto speed and getting used to the wheel but looking forward to it. I’d be happy around the mid pack, that’s my aim.
I’ve been trying to practice a couple of circuits to get the feel for them but as soon as you switch cars or tyres the whole game changes again😂😂

It is clear to me now that I'm going to have to channel my inner Ronnie Pickering 🤔😅

I think Phil does win the award of "most punted off road" 😂😂
"I'd like to thank Mike, most of all, for his incredible determination to get in my fucking way, t-bone me, and cause me problems. Without that lunatic I wouldn't be here winning this award, thanks Mike."
Then the camera would cut to me and I'd be clapping with a tear rolling down my face

It’s fine, with lockdown he hasn’t been able to go to his ‘speciality’ clubs so he takes whatever he can get 🤣

Cracking review and always look forward to your write up @Greboth

Starting out I finished the previous race in 9th and in reverse grid started 5th behind @Grebothwho finished the previous race in 5th... still trying to wrap my brain around that.then to add insult to injury it appears that it may have been @Grebothwho ran me off the track at turn 1 Monza. I clearly had the middle lane with greebs on the inside lane and suddenly I was shoved out into the sand..... hood clean racing. I’ll be reviewing my own footage to see.
