.....Too bad we don't qualify
....don't know if I'll try again that was almost 2hrs and I got 3 clean laps in
and thanks for that I appreciate it..

For me it's all the first sector. I always 🤬 something up. I don't ever want to see the fast lap red lol. I always restart , restart restart
. Other than the 3 laps that counted I probably went around the whole track 2 other times. And before I put that third lap in I was about to start smashing things in my house.

Team Canada...that would be the "eh? Team" right Hannibal? With Robbie as "B.A." and Mike Lobban as "Howlin' Mad" Murdoch or face man...take your pick...

For sure dude, keep at it and you'll get it. It's such a long, difficult to complete lap I'm sure a lot of people have invalidated more fast laps than they've finished. (Me included)

Oh man the number of times I've hit the cone for the right turn onto the straight while .5 faster than my PB is infuriatingly high xD (I finally nailed it on my current lap but it took foreverrrrr)
Best way to get in a fast lap is to get in a lot of laps even if they're red, eventually you'll get more comfortable with the car and track limits. Try to keep it clean and smooooth (and very patient with the throttle) in the first sector and the last where the cones are the most punishing, and restart as little as possible (especially if you're near the end of the lap) It's better to start a lap still in the rhythm of the car than to restart. Plus the first braking point from the restart is in a totally different place than from a hot lap.
It's such a long lap, even if you have a "slow" first sector you can make it up in the middle of the track (chicanes, Mulsanne corner, Indianapolis, Porsche curves).
I'm just now getting to the point where I'm comfortable getting the car to go fairly close to the cones, and that's after at least 6 full hours total in the car. (3hrs opening night, 3hrs during the day yesterday)
Once you're more comfortable doing laps, focus on improving one sector at a time.
I threw away soooo many 29s and 28s before I ever got one, several on the LAST CONE on the final chicane. The car really needs to be slowed down more than normal for an LMP for the slow corners, and you hardly need brakes for the Porsche curves at all if you get the lines right.
One more tip: The hybrid system dumps it's power starting at ~120mph (118? would be 190km/h), so it's best to shift into 3rd just before that and have the wheel straight to make best use of the power dump.

Might give the time trial a go again later tonight... My fast lap was my only clean lap lol I hope to be able to break into the 28's after I familiarize myself with the car. Very interesting car for sure, lots of trail braking seems like the way to go

Jeez JL, i really hope that's true because from what I've watched before on YouTube, Assetto also looks like really, really good sim.
And, i agree with your thoughts regarding GranTurismo. If PD doesn't make a real efford to bring the game to a new level, they're dead! This embarrassing Peogeot VGT is an excellent example of how outdated this game is. Did you guys had a laugh with the downshifting sound like i had???
Pathetic!
You know... Sometimes I wonder if Kaz still gives two 🤬 about this franchise or if he's way more into enjoying his immense bank account traveling and having fun with wife and kids.

I know, it's a double post, gimmy the fishies....
My 1st attempt at banners, if they're sub-par, I'll understand.
Awesome, more contributing!
For banner photos, try to keep the car away from the edge of the picture. Also, try to use the rule of thirds. If you drew a tic tac toe board over your image, dividing it into 9 sections, try to put the subject on one of the intersections.
