GT7 - Super Formula challenge

 Holy moly these freaking cars are something else to drive. Forget all your old brake points, drive lines change and acceleration and handling are next level. I have had many accidents, spins, crashes and just generally crap driving in the SF19 Super Formula / Toyota '19 it's been wild.

One does have to complete this series though, so I have put myself to the task. At Watkins Glen, racing on medium racing tyres and with the AI set to normal (not easy) I've finally managed to chalk up not only my first podium, but my first win as well! Yes indeed - with a 17:49.888 for the 12 lap race and the nearest rival at +18.749 I am pretty damn happy about that. It was by no means the first attempt, or the within the first 5 and my previous best was 6th place so I'm quite pleased.

Brake late, and brake hard, carry a heap of speed through the corners - easy acceleration and then pounce on it - flog it all the way through to the next braking zone and back the car to handle itself with maximum throttle and inputs. Woohoo! Great fun.

Now on to the remainder of this series - pedal to the metal and all that. Happy racing!
