I did a 1.04.0 at qld live and pretty sure I just scrapped in, so you definitely made it through the lives
My time was also set at the QLD event. Based on what I know I think I ended up 6th or 7th in the live event. That should put you somewhere around 7th - 9th. I think you'll be good.

what do you think will be the cut off times for Australia? For the top 14 or top 19?? :S i am guessing around a 2:15.5 will be cut off by the end of the two weeks... I am on a 2:15.8xx and i have a .350 in first sector and .100 in the second sector... Just gotta string it together... Ill get there

Don't worry you've got time on your side, eventually you'll be eligible. I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum, don't wish away your youth. You can never get it back
I'm not fast enough to make it anyway, but it's probably my last chance anyway so throwing everything at this. Can see possible flat 16's.
Would love to come and watch you guys battle it out though 👍

I give up... There is no way I am going to better my time....
No no no no that is not the attitude you need to succeed, I made the finals last time by slowly chipping away at my time.
Every lap you do you will learn something new even it might not seem like it, you will train your muscle memory and weed out little mistakes. These time trials will try and break you mentally if you're not an alien but if you put in the time you will get there.
Im not the most talented but I know by grinding it out and watching replays of the top guys I can eventually replicate what they do.
How bad do you want this?

yeah good point... I have rage fits.... Seriously... Just did 25 red laps.......... Didn't even chip away at anything, the last 4 hours.... I know what I need to do, I just can't put it together... Seriously getting under my skin....
I just rage quit... Maybe time for bed... Start fresh tomorrow after work or a days rest.

You mean 4 years, the requirment is a full license which isn't possible here untill age 20 at earliest.
Very unfair for us.

Im 23 with a full license so it doesn't bother me but I find it unfair that our license rules make our minimum age higher then every other country.

Bah, someone beat my .5
To Rotor, don't worry about getting that ultimate lap right now. Just sit down and churn out a 'race distance' effort of just consistently staying within the boundaries of the lap. Don't push 100%, just churn out good laps at 97%. You will find that within 2 or 3 sittings doing these 'just under the limit laps' that you will gain 2-3 tenths consistently, and your variation from your session fastlap will be within a few tenths instead of several tenths. It's at this point that you start pushing harder, preferably at the end of the 3rd 1.5h stint (or 4th, or 5th).
The reason for doing it this way is to train you brain to become adjusted to the feel of the car subconsciously. You will then be driving more on 'prediction' rather than 'reaction'. It's worth the time and effort, as this is actually the easiest way to train your mind for a hotlap.
Cheers,
