I have never raced this track. I hate learning new tracks but sometimes the track you hate in beginning can become your favorite track.

Absolutely love the intro by James! Been doing some commentary with my league and really have gotten the 'presenters' bug, if that's even a thing. I would just love to be able what James does here, speaking calmly but enthousiasticly! I try of course, but the most important thing for me is being myself and unfortunately, 'myself' currently does not sound like a proper presenter, lol! I'm getting positive feedback and really enjoying it though, so that's the most important thing to me!

Despite being on a single monitor so I can't see the corner apexes, I actually really enjoy the last sector because it's challenging and it rewards being gentle and patient on the throttle, unlike most corners in a GT3 where can you can floor it rather quickly.

I love Fuji, It really has a bit of everything. The first half of the lap is nice and fast and the second half of the lap is challenging and technical making it easy to get caught out. Its a track that really makes you think and work at being good there.

18:29 indeed we're not braking there Dave! Does take some getting used to, but eventually you want to have the confidence to lift and let it drift away from the right edge of the track so you can cut back to apex at the flat concrete kerbs right at the end to straighten the run into the left-hander that comes next :) Just missed out on the shout-out for the podium this time as well :P

My first race at Fuji was a blast, went from P9 to P6 fighting for position all race long. Then I did it two more times, first one someone spun in the last corner and decided to move as a pack of cars with me as the leader were approaching so I couldn’t avoid the 4x. Race 3 someone spun at Coke and I accidentally tapped the car in front for a 4x, gained position then was wiped out by someone who really didn’t want me to pass. Went from B 3.97 to B 3.71 😭😭😭. Doing it again tonight after work though!

I screwed up qualifying on my go at Fuji this week in VRS. I ended up qualifying P24, but finished P8. I was expecting a mess starting so far back but it was actually really good. I just didn't fight much in the opening laps and things just fell my way toward the end.

The one thing that seemed like a big difference to your competitors in this race at Fuji, was that they took turns much wider into the apex, probably to get the most exit speed coming out of the corner on to the long straights. But, maybe you raced like that because of the understeer?? Overall good race and good points! Top 10!

It's not bad at all with triples, but I could see it being total hell on a single display. There's so many "blind" corners that you have to spot off your main display. Having VR or triples definitely give you a big edge here.
