malevolent mercy

Racin Nexus IMSA GTE series has been cancelled. The mod was causing mismatches or something. I suggested we race with Sport Prototypes League Edition 2.2 mod (Group C cars). I had some good races with this mod back when we ran it in SRO. I guess Dragan liked it so now this is the next series up. A whole schedule has been drawn up, with a wet race and a night race to boot. I was really excited for this series. 

However, Dragan made some changes to the cars, and it has become another Racin Nexus style mod. After DTM and F1 in RN style (and the failed GTE mod, too), I have just about had it trying to figure out how to drive an RN mod. It is just too tough for a talentless hack like me. The car doesn't respond to setup changes the way I am accustomed to. The tires heat up and cool down a lot faster compared to what I have experienced in other mods. It all seems too extreme and hardcore. I will continue testing, but I might withdraw from this series. I like a challenge but I am no masochist.

We now have Racin Nexus GTE Series Calendar. I have raced on all of these tracks before, except for Autopolis (a converted NFS track). With the SRO F1 1978 series ongoing, it will be a merry month of May with 8 races scheduled including 3 back-to-backs. As for the grid, it is a typical Racin Nexus series with many signups, but I expect less than a dozen will show up on race night. Why? Because the car is damned hard to drive. I thought the DTM car was tough, but then we had F1 2004 next. And now this, I can't even change the weight distribution and the differential goes down to only 30%. I should test before I signup for the next series. Racin Nexus mods are so tough even the AI become bad drivers.

Doing shakedown runs for the upcoming Racin Nexus IMSA GTE Series. Gonna drive another Lambo, the Huracan this time. Practice server is now open, and there is a bit of time to find a good base setup for the car. But I also have some races with SRO F1 1978 series.

Meanwhile, Racin Nexus F1 2004 series has recently concluded, and Djuricic Dragan is the champion. Myself, I finished 5th in the final standings, just as I had hoped. I was way off the pace here, and I only finished on the lead lap once, in Barcelona. I missed one race and disco'ed at another, but I also got two podiums.

Just signed up for SRO F1 1978 series. It is a repeat of the series I participated in back in 2019, with the same cars and tracks. I finished 4th in the final standings in that series, and it will be interesting to see if I can improve on my previous results. It will be a different grid of drivers and I didn't keep any setups from the last time.
