The inside cones are the biggest distraction every time I come near one I instinctively countersteer run wide an fail anyway
. Years ago I'd eat these tests for breakfast
now everytime I'm on a hot run I completely lose my nerve. Any advice outside the old practice chestnut would be greatly appreciated, Thanks in advance.
How anybody can gold this event with a ds3 is beyond me. I have been at it all weekend non stop and still can't get gold, can do 1:23's all day have even got a mid 1:21 by accident I think as I can't repeat still not good enough for gold. I do think my best time I had some lucky drifting going on it's still a blur cause lack of sleep.
I miss GTA too much, I'm going to run again tomorrow and pretend its physics revision. A 14.751 would be nice eh Tidgney
I mean it's ultra close now at the top of the UK boards! Also means the temptation to go for a .6 gets a little higher 
!
Don't think a 2:14.5 by the end of the TT is out of the question 
DS3 user been at this for a few days now, 2:23.02 is my best yet

Don't give up hope yet my friend, there is still time. Just relax for a bit and envision it, and it will come. And only 1900 km?...I have well over 3000 miles now just for this event.Good luck mate, you can do it. 👍
EDIT: Just inproved another .242, down to 2'16.441 for 86th place regionally atm. Heading in the right direction....finally. My confidence remains high, look out cuz I'm coming through guys.Seriously though, still an awfully long ways to go.
And again, thanks for all the help everyone, wherever I finish, I owe it all to the good people here in the community, you all have been my guiding light.

. Good thing is I achieved the first step towards achieving my fondest dream ever: Win the GT Academy.
When my DFGT pedals did that I'd open the pedal base and spray some WD-40 on the white plastic potentiometers, and it fixed the problem both times. All you need is a small Phillips screwdriver. 👍My DFGT brake pedal is gone crazy, applies constantly brake pressure at 20% and that is so damn annoying. So pissed off, had all my chances to achieve a top 10 at the very least, at the end of the upcoming week end. Won't receive a new wheel until Monday. Anyway GW IMMORTAL for this TT, had my wheel been working properly, I would have done anything in my power to prevent you from sleeping a whole night like I did at GTA Round 2

I would recommend a tuner cleaner designed to clean, lubricate, and condition the contact surfaces of the pots. I use "Blue Stuff" on my vintage guitar amplifiers, but there are others on the market. I would be leary of using WD40, and electrical contact cleaners will work in the short term, but will lead to premature wear on the pots.
You are completely correct. 👍 It wasn't a good idea to use WD40, and maybe if I'd used the correct product the problem wouldn't have returned the 2nd time, 2yrs after the first time.
But those limp pedals are in the trash now and I have G25 pedals connected to my DFGT.
Since we're only talking about relatively inexpensive pedals versus irreplaceable 50-year-old musical equipment, anything that keeps you racing through the night will suffice.You are completely correct. 👍 It wasn't a good idea to use WD40, and maybe if I'd used the correct product the problem wouldn't have returned the 2nd time, 2yrs after the first time.

Yess nailed gold, 2:20.837. JAYWALKER suggested ABS on 10 what a difference it made You're a genius.
Before that 2:23 was my best. 3rd lap in, bang gold .

Thanks for all the advice.
(TC on 1 could probably get you an even better time.) I use a DFGT & ABS 10 seems to act almost like a type of SRF. Doesn't always work, though...
I cannot for the life of me get under 1:22, and that 1 lap I did was a fluke... 5 hours in until 2 am yesterday and I'm still nowhere closer than my 1 great lap...Yess nailed gold, 2:20.837. JAYWALKER suggested ABS on 10 what a difference it made You're a genius.
