Not a good start to the season. As I am way off the pace my plan was just to take it easy and drive to finish. Alas after 1 1/2 laps came over Skyline to have a spun car in the middle of the track, just clipped it, but that spun me around then ended up on my roof. The game then put me back on my wheels but unfortunately also put me wedged on the fence and no amount of throttle would get me off, so game over. Oh well, see ya next week. Sorry gwyar, that was me. I was completely unsighted and thought all cars had passed and reversed about a foot before hearing you and clipped you. A terrible start to the season for me, at least I was consistent, driving like an a-hole on both qualifying and the race. I am away for work next week but will be back for Suzuka and am already more organised with a decent basis for a set up already established. If anyone wants to share a good Callaway base set up with me that would be fantastic and improve the quality of my life for the next few months! If all those guys at the front can please stop embarrassing us that would be appreciated!!! Congratulations to those on the podium No problem alastair, that's racing, happens all the time, especially over a blind crest.

Yes awesome turnout for R1, hopefully we can continue that into the rest of the season. Man, I kept my nose pretty clean, starting a little heavy with the mediums for a longer first stint (65-66% of total laps) and straight after the pit onto a fresh set of soft boots, I bin it up the top of the mountain. So angry at myself, was looking forward to the rest of the race after getting the mediums out of the way. The BMW is a handful. Not many drivers are racing it this season and it makes me wonder if I've made a mistake. I do like the car, it sounds amazing and is not in any other sim as far as I know as of yet. I need to spend more time in it and hopefully work out where the time is with it. I think it needs a different approach in driving style and certainly needs something to keep the ass end in check. Very light rear end even with decent amount of traction control. Anton, the BMW has a problem with the back of the car hitting the road. You need to raise the ride height up to max and the rear shocks need to have hard rebound and soft bump. Bathurst, there is nothing you can do to stop the car from hitting the road coming out of turn 13, I think that's right. It's the last left hander in the dipper. I will give you a set for the BMW next time I see you in the server, it took me 7 days to set it up.

Wow, now some things make more sense. As Chris stated I did like the car in general when I was testing it when it came out. Nothing stood out as off putting to me. I also like all the other cars too so it was just a matter of liking the BMW that little bit better, for some reason I find them appealing. Not a massive car guy myself, however. I didn't have much time to spend on a setup as I'm still learning how to do that without making the car worse so you're a legend for firstly pointing that out to me and secondly for offering to help cure it. Highly appreciated Wayno!
Re the ACC release. I have had it since hour 1 early release, but have done a total of 1 and a half laps in the Lambo and forgot that it existed until now. Yes, the M6 is in that too, I did forget that. Am yet to drive it at all. Too much going on to worry about it until it's released.
