Except that its almost EXACTLY 700 miles from Southampton to the northern region of Portugal, as the crow flies. (As measured on google maps, using what essentially would be the great circle route) So I think @SuperGT just introduced you to a new friend.. Barry R.

@@lruss2004 I mean if we are going to do pedantry, let’s do it properly. From a northerly point in Portugal (just north-east of Rio de Onor) to Lizard Point is just under 555.9 miles, as the crow flies. Or. To be reaaaaaly pedantic, Pednathise Head to Cevide is just under 539.5 miles. But good try!

Brands Hatch reminds me of Limerock. They look easy at first glance but they're actually pretty tricky to nail laps repeatedly on.

Paddock hill gets me almost everytime lol. Especially if I'm in a car I'm not familiar with

[@michaelallen2501]

@@toddthezondalover645 I suck for names but that first right hander over the hill after the start/finish is a make or break turn for me. Playing on controller it's pretty hard to get a soft and smooth weight transition during braking. I've had quite a few tank slappers coming out of that thing.

[@toddthezondalover645]

@@michaelallen2501 That's the one I mean. I'm a controller veteran, been playing on a pad since I was 4 (now 23) and I'm still very inconsistent there. Very hard to judge the apex, and I usually drop my left wheels in the sand trap and hit the wall.

[@bimoekalaksono3857]

I'm gonna say, going to pit in at the last lap was a bad call, if using a strategy i'll do it at 2 or 3 lap before so we have time to catch on to lead the race. Anyway love the video, fun as always to watch and learns.

[@Toti3258]

[@The_BenboBaggins]

Was really good to have some genuine strategy options for this race. Being consistently slow meant I could still do ok using the Megane Trophy on a no-stop - gaining a good 3 places in a strong evening lobby, and up to 7-8 places in weaker mixed lobbies at either end of the day.

[@souocesar]

England and Portugal have the oldest alliance known to exist in recorded history. From the 1600's til today. Just a bit of trivia for you guys. And the Portuguese player name was slow valsa. Quite fitting since he was overtaken xD

"The total straight line distance between Lisbon and London is 1585 KM (kilometers) and 400 meters. The miles based distance from Lisbon to London is 985.1 miles. This is a straight line distance and so most of the time the actual travel distance between Lisbon and London may be higher or vary due to curvature of the road ."

From my measurements on Google earth, the UK and Portugal appear to be about 556 miles at the minimum, and around 1,520 at the maximum.

An absolute delight, what cracking racing there was to be had throughout especially in the last one, excellent side by side through a sequence of corners, GG to you both.

Looking forward to devouring more of your content, thanks

[@fdogfrankie2338]

Brands hatch is my local circuit as well. Such an incredible circuit, I love the corners, especially paddock hill bend (turn 1) and druids (turn 2). But when you get a perfect lap in, it’s very satisfying and rewarding.

[@Jows65]

Yeah it's mine too. I was there for a track thete on. Drove a BM4 and a formula 4 single seater. Was fantastic!!

Brands Hatch is definitely my favourite real circuit in GT7 with two good layouts that suit many types of car. Group 4 on this circuit is so much like BTCC. Last weeks Daily race was excellent and I increased my driver rating by taking some victories. I went with the Suzuki Swift and a no stop strategy on Hards. Good to see you back Super GT, your videos are always entertaining.

[@kwitda_spray]

He changes it throughout the race , using the higher mixture makes you slower, so you have to balance fuel with pace.

Around 700 miles to Portugal? That sounds crazy to me, here in the USA that's about a 9 hour drive, 1 or 2 states over depending on the direction (in some states you can travel farther than that and be in the same state). Almost as much as I drive to go visit my mom. Crazy that you can travel that far and you'll have seen a few different languages.
