Gran Turismo 7 Season 9 Division 3

Bloody network error

a few things to take away from last night

1. i did not realise bop would be off so i practised with bop on and had a shock when the car was handling completely different. this meant initially i struggled in quali to even put a good lap down, eventually got there in one of my last 2 laps.
2. i did a 2 stop with @Savage_Duck_75 but not by choice, my right rear was practically gone by 10 laps, not sure how everyone else made half race distance but something to look at for me.
3. as i got used to the non bop handling of the car i seemed to have good pace, if i could of made a one stop work and also hadn't collected the inside tyres at T1 in the first stint (i didnt have my radar on and knew Duck was along side me but obviously i gave him too much room) i believe i would of had a decent result.

started 11th finished 11th

In some similarity, my race strategy was based on 2 stop because my fuel use and tire wear was so high, but in race mode i used much less fuel and felt i had enough tires to get to the end of lap 15 with some balanced throttling and lots of short shifting. This car goes mighty quick if you rev it out and drive it hard, but goes long if you massage it

An interesting observation reflecting on the rolling start. Being on the right-side and higher up on the bank in P4 gave me an advantaged view of @emmo46 on pole. I was able to see him launch much sooner than @RBRHoges97 in P2, and that's what contributed to my sterling start, which I promptly threw away as we braked for the hairpin back onto the banking.

yeah going to check the replay and see what others were doing

Bummer! Hope it's a mild dose and you recover in good time. I'm an increasingly rare Novid. Had my 5th booster vaccine 2 weeks ago. It's free folks.

I'd ask for my money back!

Yep. PM me for your Tin Foil™ hat.

Do take care and hopefully a mild one. I was recovering from covid too on Sunday. Maybe it was via GT7

Whoever takes these results screenshots, please hit square and take the screenshot with the PSN ID instead of the in-game nickname, thanks.

I hope you feel better soon Emmo
