Finally did my first online race. iRacing has served me well, I did poorly position-wise but avoided a lot of janky driving around me. Not to say that I didn't have my own janky driving, but I managed not to hit any other cars throughout the entire thing.

Also ended up next to last. I still have a hard time with the "tilt to steer" thing, but find it easier than using the thumbstick. More accurately, I feel like I have an easier time when things are going well of easing into a corner and then easing back out, but the second I have to countersteer it all goes to hell. Still, seems like my SR did well based on the little popups through the race, though I was unable to figure out the actual effect on it post-race.

I'm slowly learning all the fantasy courses, not knowing them has made me extremely hesitant to go online, I don't want to end up racing a bunch of real people on a track I don't know yet. Still, I managed to finally finish off all the license tests, so it's time to graduate to some real driving.

I pretty much only do online races now, if only for the free cars and ability to buy ones with the mileage system.

Is it just me, or does browsing and adding Decals take ages? I am talking about 20 seconds+ before I can Like or Add a Decal (or indeed anything, including Scapes pictures) to my Collection.

Some doofus downloaded 9GB of scapes to my PS4 this weekend and then left, knowing I never use that feature.

I've been disappointed for the duration of my ownership in one way or another.

Thanks. I'm on level 7 of 8 anyway so it's conceivable I'll finish up before they wipe away the boards again anyway.

Not to keep harping on this, but the results were wiped out for Sunday. But I started running the Level 8 races and when I did the GT3 at Blue Moon 15 minute oval race Cuda's time of 15:02 was the only one listed. Not sure if it's further glitched or if he happened to have ran it earlier that day.

Seems like it takes forever to increase SR, but no time at all for it to drop. I had dropped down as far as D last week (!!) and am still trying to claw my way back out of C. At the risk of negatively impacting my DR, my favorite thing to do is practice without setting a qualifying time, start at the back of the pack, and see how many people I can pick off over the course of the race. Obviously that doesn't give me any chance at winning, but I can usually get past about half of the grid. A lot less chance of having some ingrate come bombing down the inside of an apex to use me as a braking point, which decreases the frustration potential significantly.

Yeah I’ve found that using these features is slooooowwwww.

Took advantage of deals and trade-in bonuses from Amazon and got PS4 Pro, PSVR, and GT Sport for $450. Looks like I have some catching up to do.

Nice haul!
