An interesting interview (in English) with GT3 driver David Perel, on his journey into GT3 racing, the dollars, and driving real life and sims. Regarding sims, he says real life driving style is much more aggressive than in sims. You are always doing moves which would be considered "dirty" moves in sim racing. He also says that in general sims don't get the braking right. The real life feel of how a car rotates and the feedback you get via the brake pedal is not simulated very well.
Interestingly, he says that in GT3 racing, you take a "V" line while braking. Brake very hard, nearly stop to let the car rotate, then get hard on the power. It's no wonder so many sim racers complain about understeer. They're just coming in too fast and trying to maintain too much corner speed.

A couple of 20 min sprints, 1 in each car, at Imola. Practice server's up with this combo.

Yes, season 30! These cars (other than the Supercars) were some of the most popular seasons we've ever had. You can vote for more than 1 car. I'll do a fun run coming up with Maserati/Porsche in two separate races, and then another in the GT3s (by which time Kcender will be back for the start of the season).

Here are some auto-generated highlights of Monday night's ACC race. It started off sunny, but rain developed late in the race. I was in a black and red Audi, and finished 6th.

There was a bit of a concertina effect when Mael disco’d that caught up a few cars. Race 3Myself, Bacchulum and Killa were 3-wide going up the hill, and there was a bit of a side contact between Bacchulum and Killa which spun Bacchulum - racing incident. Season Standings1.

Assuming these guys race at Silverstone next week, race 1 will be AbleArcher's 100th championship race, and race 3 will be Rob's 300th. Well done on reaching those milestones guys.

Watching from Killa’s car, he was pretty much going in a straight line when the side-to-side impact occurred, so I’m calling that a racing incident. Race 2Killa spun all by himself at T3, causing a few accidents – racing incident. Mael and DaveO had a side-to-side impact mid-corner when Dave oversteered a bit, resulting in Dave spinning – racing incident. Race 3AbleArcher was giving Brad’s car a few love taps in the esses, the last of which unsettled Archer’s car a bit and Kcender hit him and spun. Kcender also didn’t look totally in control, coming off the kerb – because of no clear fault, racing incident. Mael was too optimistic coming tight into the crowded final chicane, hit the rear corner of Joe and spun him - $1000 penalty. Season Standings1. Kcender87, 340 2. Phil.8, 325 3. Killagorilla, 285

A new track for most, I would say: Set on the west coast of Anglesey, overlooking the Irish Sea and the Snowdonia mountain range beyond, Anglesey Circuit provides visitors with a challenging and exciting circuit in a breathtaking location.  Weather is going to be a cooler 15, 16 and 17, and reasonably windy. Edit: 3 x 13 laps.

I updated the car dealer web site to send you a weekly reminder to rent a car, if you choose to do so. To set up the reminders in the car dealer, go to the new "Preferences" menu under your name, enter the email address (or multiple addresses separated by a comma) to receive the reminder, and tick 'Get Reminders' and Save your changes. You'll get an email reminder at 2:00pm (Eastern) every Tuesday that reminds you what car you currently have rented.

3 x 12 lap sprints. Weather is fairly warm, 24, 25 and 27 degrees. I've set the practice server to 50% fuel rate for now, but I might refine that with a bit more testing (maybe a higher rate).
