So the first laps without any controls on but oh my god what a twitchy thing that evo car sliding all over the place.
So now after half an hour with some help of the electronics things are getting better for me.
Here are my first laptime's.
T1: 20.171 (saw a 20.000)
T2: 44.126
T3: 1.16.394
Well now some more time to practice and hopefully the force will be with me.
See you

A little more time to make some refinements to my lap. An overall 3/10ths gained at the line, but some odd splits compared to before! 
Slower at T1, but faster at T2 and T3.
T1 19.260
T2 41.877
T3 1'12.402
I'm really finding that riding the brakes (keeping the brake pedal partially pressed while going to full throttle) out of many of the bends is helping to stabilise the car a lot, and prevents wheelspin and tail-hanging. 👍

I think it's about time to return to WRS after not racing at all while at school. I had a brief session where I got a 19.0xx 42.5xx and who knows what after that. But given a few hours, hopefully I'll still be competitive.

This is a fun combo, but frustrating! Just blown a 1'11.935 by getting up over the rumble strip onto the narrow strip of concrete outside the last turn before the chicane. 
Still, got an improvement, lost another 3/10ths at the line from before.
T1 19.018
T2 41.652
T3 1'12.045
Nailed the big hairpin and the turn before T3 to give a good lap overall.

Welcome back STLbarcelona5!! 
I remember you.
@ Smallhorses: I must say that both the behavior of the car and the results of my splits have seemed odd to me also. These are my current splits from my fastest lap, but I was a full tenth a half slower at T3 than before. It's also a full three tenths slower at T2. It brings home my room for improvement.
T1= 19.168 T2= 42.009 T3= 1'12.713

I've lowered my time to:
0'19.113
0'41.618
1'12.081
Happy with my T2 and T3, but T1 could go down to 18.8, and I was also quite cautious at the last chicane, losing another bit.
I'll probably submit this time. Will we have another close finish, this time with a car that can't drive the same line twice?

nice run, CMir. 👍 I can't touch that.
A car that can't run the same line twice. That's a comforting thought. It must be the car.

No racing all day Sat. Spent it in hospital. Ice on steps, fat arse, a high center of gravity and the wrong shoes.
Need I say more??
Right knee was already a mess, now my right elbow looks like I have an alien living in there and I can't get my arm straight. If I had as many needles sticking out of me as they stuck in me I'd look like some kind of a human weapon. Not sure I can drive today but I'll give it a try later when the pills kick in.
Good luck to all still giving it a go!!👍

@ gtbadboy: that may be karma striking back for the the fat arse jokes!!
Seriously, though, please take care of yourself. There are already enough people who want to hurt all of us, so no need to do it for them.
No holds barred, I'm going to race this combo all day until I ... bye bye. Off to the Cote d'Azur!!!
LAN racing is great today. Miss you, Jake.

@ gtbadboy: sorry to hear about accident. Use ice cleats. They're great. Had better times on good driving fluid. Cannot better times anymore.

I'm submitting now. Quite disappointed about not even a podium in D2, [probably, but it's time to move on.
NICE SJAAK!!!
I hear you about not looking at the splits!

Updated splits after a brief session this morning. I figured out where I was losing it in the 3rd sector 
-
19.716
43.035
1:14.146
Have seen faster T1's but seem to mess it up after that.
Will see if I can work out that second sector and catch up to Kenny.

Well to start off i'd brought me nothing. saw some good fast splits for me (43.xxx) but was managed to crash at the end all the time.
So i'm going to bed and maybe try tommorrow for another time.
Top Gear was great fun, as allways, liked the 24 hour race they did and off course the roadtest of the Ascari was great fun.
See you next time

Just submitted my time and I'm looking forward to a great finish. 👍
With Clemi, Ron, Sjaak, Smallhorses and me doing 12.0 and GTXDriver and Jake coming right behind, 7 racers can contest victory this week, and 2 of them are division 2 members!
And I may have let victory escape due to not exiting well at the corner before the start of the lap
Maybe it's about time for some promotions

Submitting for the week. Just couldn't put it together for one smooth run. I don't feel too bad though as that seems to be the general concensus for this combo. I definitely had some serious fun though just watching the t-times drop last sunday as I got smoother and smoother with the setup.
gtbadboy: sorry to hear about the fall. We have been having some weird weather around my parts as well. 19 degrees farenheit today and rainy. Hit the ground and was turning to ice. It should be snowing at those temps but who know what's going on in the upper atmosphere. So much for the mild winter they were calling for. We've gotten about 1.5" ice and about 3-4 inches of snow in the past week. Good for racing though.
Hopefully these stand up midpack D2 as seems to be my now relegated position.
