Bros, i always was a no-quali chad and i was loud and proud about it. "I'm too lazy lmao", "starting at the back is more fun and challenging", etc etc. But in reality, i was scared of doing quali because 1)my chances of grabbing pole in lobbies full of sweats are close to zero, so why even try; 2)realistically, i'm probably gonna quali somewhere in top 10, which means i'm gonna be right in the middle race start meatgrinder, which isn't optimal.
Today i decided to stop being a little scared bitch. From now on, i'm doing quali.
Here's what i learned today from my quali sessions: 1)i'm actually faster than i thought - i consistently quali in top 5; 2)even if i quali lower - i still manage to avoid or minimize T1 chaos; 3)my race pace is usually good enough to successfully defend my starting position, and good enough to attack opponents ahead; 4)starting at the front and dictating the race pace is much more fun than adapting to it when starting at the back; 5)fucking up tyre/pit strat hurts much more when you running at the front.
Overall, i'm glad i decided to start doing quali. Without quali, i usually start Nordschleife race in ~P20 and finish ~P15. With quali, i start P5 and finish P5, even if i fuck up a bunch of times. Big improvement.
Also, Loner, your tune setup for GT2 Dodge Viper is terrible, drives like a pig. It understeers like crazy and the weight distribution is a disaster. You made an understeery car more understeery. It's not the fastest GT2 car and the engine awkwardly redlines at ~5500rpm, which means it's not the most confidence-inducing car ever. So, the only way to save this car is by making it more agile. It can benefit a lot from lower slip angle ratio. Make that bitch slide in mid/high speed turns, make your opponents sweat by overtaking them during a controlled slide at 200kmh, uknowhatimsayin'?
