    Apologies for last night in the Gr4 race for just quitting and leaving. Controller issues all evening had been really getting to me, with it randomly twitching the car to the left or missing multiple gears at a time, which is why I was was rather quiet. It’s alright in the Gr1 where you can get away with it but not in the lower speed cars When the TT had decided to go from 6th to 1st gear at paddock hill bend despite only clicking the button once, subsequently throwing me off the track I was about ready to spike the fucking thing through the floor so thought it best to go.

    So this week was a weird one for me. The track I didn’t like before Tuesday and was really struggling on, I actually did well on! And the track I thought I was going to have my best chance on I drove poorly in the last few laps 😂 Before the the first race started I had been struggling to get into the 1:55s and even those were incredibly inconsistent. Then quali rolled around and somehow I managed to find nearly two a half seconds and wrestle pole away from Greebs! I do have to say, my performance might have been down to the fact I really needed a piss which actually almost cost me as the urgent run to the loo actually meant I missed the start of the race!! 😂 luckily @Greboth @Mikepjbell and @Spacedeck were good sports and waited until I got back. As Greebs has gone through already, the race was close and thankfully consistency won me the race asides from one mistake 😄 Second race started off with some very suspicious power advantage from a certain member which provided a fair bit of hilarity. Thankfully an FIA investigation reduced the perpetrators advantage for quali and the race 😂 Race wise, the mx5s were actually surprisingly tricky to drive as momentum was everything and any mistake was magnified a hundredfold. Drafting down the long straight had a massive advantage as well which meant that any gap I made in the infield was negated on the straight. Around the 7th lap(?) Greebs got past and from that point I was really struggling and laptimes went to shit for no reason I could work out and ended up finishing second. But either way It was a good evening of races so roll on next week and hopefully a few more drivers 😄

    I’ll be about if there’s enough people for a race. Not sure about that first track as it’s definitely not one of my favourites ☹️

    Kerbs are also a bit funny at Laguna. One lap you can rider them fine with no issues and then next lap, with the same line and approach speed, you suddenly feel like your car has hit a massive pothole and it flicks you straight off the track with no hesitation. Love the track but man is it a temperamental one

    Might have had to have a few go’s at beating your time set earlier... Struggling a little at the moment to be honest. That TT cup car revs in a really weird way when you are at low speed which means you can easily find yourself in the wrong gear through no fault of your own. ive got to be braver about carrying speed into corners on this track but that gravel trap is worryingly close...

    I see you @phil bottlepractising away on Laguna seca 😄 some of those top 10 times are rapid this week!!

    I can’t be the only one that doesn’t understand how penalties are worked sometimes on online racing. I get punted off at high speed by someone who didn’t use their brakes at all, and somehow I lose positions, lose time and I also get a 5sec penalty on top of that which completely kills me because they insist on the penalty being taken on a straight which means I lose even more then 5 secs. To compound my issue, i get punted off again as I’m getting back up to speed because it switches the ghosting off as someone comes steaming up to me again and I get slapped off once again 😡. The person who caused the issue, finished second with no penalties whatsoever...

    Had to have another go on Bathurst because my lack of competitiveness was still annoying me 48 hours after we raced 😂. just wanted to prove to myself that I could get into the 2.04s and ended up running away from everyone 😄 the switch to manual gears made a hell of a difference in improving the consistency

    Tuesdays nights races were a mixture of frustration (Bathurst) and hilarious (Goodwood) for me. always knew I was going to struggle against @Greboth and his relentless pace on mount panorama especially as I was unfairly handicapped in the first race by having to start at the back 😂 A last minute decision to swap from the GTR to the Viper was borne from needing more speed but at the risk of being very inconsistent. Unfortunately this didn’t payoff at all as I struggled for a rhythm on the circuit in the race and my fastest lap was about 2 secs away from what I knew I could do. Was extremely disappointed in my drive. Goodwood tho was brilliant. Having actual race experience on the circuit was probably a benefit right up to the point where a certain someone wanted to race in E Types *cough* @Greboth *cough* The hilarity of approaching every corner pretty much sideways in a four wheel drift was definitely an eye opener with the threat of getting spat off the circuit and every moment. A couple of dodgy moments and a reset meant a really good race with @Mikepjbell towards the end. more practice needed I think and time to swap to manual gears

    Forgot to say I’ll be about tonight seeing as the wife is not feeling too good so didn’t end up going out for dinner Think we Are just using n300 🙂
  12. JBR-Kiwi
    Yeah I downloaded a couple of them and I’m losing so much time in the 3rd corner where it tightens up almost back on itself. up to that point I’m within a tenth or two! 😂 People carry An impossibly large amount of speed into that corner and somehow don’t understeer whereas my car washes out constantly. That then punished me all the way to the top. Unless I’m doing something wrong the ghost doesn’t reset either so I have no idea where else I’m losing time to them. ☹️

    Yeah had a go last night after sending the message just to see if I could improve it from the previous week! 😂 2.06 was the best I managed to get on a single lap and was getting quicker and quicker but just couldn’t keep it consistent. Ended up getting frustrated if I lost time in one section and was then far too lairy in the one after which punished me further. Apparently my optimal time could have been in the low 2:04s but just couldn’t string it all together. God knows how the guys on the top10 are doing their times... I’ve been informed by the wife that we are out tonight for dinner so not sure if I will be on tonight ☹️

    Man Bathurst is going to be a challenge! I was watching my friends online racing league there recently and almost a full field were doing 2.01mins almost every single lap. I hop on for a try and can barely get within 10secs of them! 😂 There’s so much time that can be made if you are brave but smooth, but you make one little mistake you are clouting that wall harder then a chav on Stella slapping his missus

    Was some pretty good races this week. First race for me was a proper struggle considering I had never seen the track before let alone turning some fast laps. Only managed to get one good lap in right at the end of quali which still ended up being nearly two seconds down on Greebs. After a poor start in the first race it was a good race with @Mikepjbell where we each had sections which we excelled at but mike did well winning our duel. second race was pretty much the same with positions reversed between me and Mike and a soundtrack provided by Lee having a driving meltdown 😂 The last race was brilliant for me!! Seemed to hit a good groove on that track considering the horror that I had had the previous week. Like Lee said I think consistency really won the day. Need to work on the range of cars I can use as I’m struggling to use anything that doesn’t have a strong front end which is a trade off because I’m struggling in a straight line.

    Just wanted to say good races last night guys. Was good to see that was incredibly close in qualifying with positions 2-5 being covered by only a couple of tenths with myself @GazzaGarratt @phil bottle fighting over who got the runner up spot, and @Greboth just pissing all over us in the Lexus IS F. Was interesting to see just how popular the Peugeot RCZ was for Gr4 racing tho. last nights racing really did highlight just how few cars I actually have as I was struggling in that 2nd race with only two cars I could choose from.
  17. JBR-Kiwi
    I will definitely try to get on but It won’t be until half 9ish I’m afraid ☹️ really need to sort out another tv for the house!
  18. JBR-Kiwi

    Thanks for getting me in last night lads, apologies that I could only get one race in. Was a good race at Monza tho. Sorry to @GazzaGarrattfor giving you a tiny push at the start mate. Was gutted that I ended up spinning twice at the same spot which cost me a chance at victory. 😭
  19. JBR-Kiwi
    Really down for this boys! Just let me know when and where. I'm trying to work out if I could utilise an old kart chassis I have as a racing rig but I’m terrified it could end up in divorce when the wife comes home and finds it in the front room 😄

    Can I still get in on this sweepstake? PS5 - £474.99 Xbox - £425 Either way I won’t be getting one initially until the first run of consoles have been stress tested by the general public. Too many nightmares of the first Xbox 360 and red ring issues I had...
  21. JBR-Kiwi
    yes would definitely be up for this. To be honest atm I’m just working my way through the challenges and that as I’ve got gold in all the licence tasks. Just trying to top the leaderboards above all my mates 😂
  22. JBR-Kiwi
    It was a bloody good laugh getting in a few games with you lads. some of those party games were absolutely hilarious with the amount of screaming and shouting going on and the team matches were...nice and close 😂

    Gaming Routers

    JBR-Kiwi replied to JBR-Kiwi's topic in Hardware

    Router is literally a meter away from the PS4 and is always running on the Ethernet cable rather then wireless. I had a look through your thread and can see you had to do a bit of tinkering to get it working correctly in the end. Ultimately was it something that you might have figured out or am I going to struggle if I end up going for one of these Decepticon looking routers?

    Season 4

    JBR-Kiwi replied to Dan94's topic in Call of Duty

    It has moments where it rips through everything but there is a noticeable point in range where it falls off a cliff and suddenly you are shooting marshmallows. Doesn’t help that there appears to be an issue with horizontal aim assist on ps4 right now which isn’t helping things 🤨
