I've loved this car since it was released but never really had a chance to drive it. The car isn't tuned or broken in yet and there's lots of time to gain but I really like this combo after only a few laps and I will definitely try to find some extra hours this week over the 3 or 4 I usually get to put in some laps. The refined rules make for some extra enjoyment.

I got a good laugh from that Frank đź‘Ť
Almost always?
Ok, so I meant, I always respect the track boundries. What could be called normal behaviour, as track is made to race on, the green things alongside the track is called gras and should be used to play football, and yes in some countries they even play tennis on it

Back from vacation, here are some openers for me. Had a couple faster saved laps with better splits, but had some slight offs on those. Going to be a challenge for the bumper cam drivers to keep it in bounds this week, but not much different than a city track. Just pretend that's a wall there, and you'll adjust your driving.

A slight boundary update has been added to the OP:
Update: These 3 corners are exempt from the 4 wheels on the track rule. The first two turns are in T2 and the third one is in T3.
It's really difficult to tell where the tarmac boundary ends (the lines aren't straight and colour similarities make it even harder to judge) and the white line is too far off the corner to be a realistic border so in these 3 corners the normal boundary rules apply. As long as there is no wall contact and 2 tires remain on the Tarmac the corners are clean.

If you would have showed the views from the back of the car I might be able to pick out the subject corners!!

I didn't see it as funny, that's why I asked!! And you're text and pictures to me weren't clear. Pardon me for asking!! đź‘Ž
The first 2 corners are the ones after the T1 split marker, as the track crests and goes back downhill.
The third is the only corner in T3 that could possibly have the issue - the second part of the T3 chicane

I was laughing because it never ocurred to me to use the rear view for the pics. No need to take it that way
Edit: first splits:

Still all over the place tuning wise, with a generic tranny trick setup.

Marc, I read the clarification on the turns thru the esses, and that makes sense. Could you clarify the left hand side of the straight prior to the tunnel? I am especialy interested in the portion as you come out of the right hander with the yellow striping. If you go wide coming onto the straight, it is possible to get you left tires in what seems to be track and or a horizontal rock face. How far to the left can one be and still be considered legal?
I would assume this to be legal:
But this I am not sure:

Are both shots from the same replay?
Pic 1 might be legal, I just can't clearly see the tire's right side. It sort of looks like the whole tire is on the concrete / moss though.

I agree, it is more realistic.

I agree with you in principle, Frank. I too like the pureness of driving a car on its limits and staying in-bounds. But tin-tops (sedans), especially ones that are very close to stock, will always reward "throwing" them over the curbs. Even F1 tracks are obligated to have FIA curbing (steep and aggressive) to keep F1s from using the grass.
So it is a challenge for PD to penalize us (through aggressive curbing, icy grass that sticks to tires, etc) to keep us on the asphalt, because racers will always find a way of going faster But this week's TT is fun, just a pain for reviewers!

Because you would be going 180mph up the back straight? Of course with a few tweaks of the tranny and judicious use of the throttle, one could conveivably do a decent job of covering it up. I haven't looked at redline with or without it, but wouldn't you have to change the gearing to keep the car from exeeding a speed it's capable of with out it? Then one could match rpm to speed and know something wasn't right. All it would take would be 5 or 6 mph over what it's capable of to know something was up.

Or one could use the power limiter.
