erm, i thought i had some good splits after only 35 mins, but it appears im wrong, and we're only on day 2 of the week!
blummin heck.
anyway.
T1: 41.338
T2: 1'07.784
T3: 1'42.608
I dont see how im gonna improve a vast amount, but i can see a few tenths here and there.
What i would like to do is a quick run-thru, and if Holl or Hot could point out my faults, or even you, Z, as you seem to be thrashing me regularly....
Hold the car in 2nd till 57 mph, 3rd till 81, and 4th till 110 at least, down the straight.
Brake in line with the V shaped steps on the right, and down to 2nd, hug the wall, then stay in 3rd over the crest, still in 3rd till 80 mph, i find it faster than changing to 4th early... down to 2nd for the left, hug the wall....
Up to 3rd, possibly grab 4th then back to 2nd for the right, hug the wall, lifting off and re-applying the throttle to gain traction round the corner.
back up to 4th as you hit the second jump, still steering left slightly, slam on the brakes as you hit the ground, and down to 2nd for the left, hug the wall.
up to 3rd, and steer parallel with the right hand wall, staying close to the wall as it gets tighter and tighter. As you begin to slide out to the outside wall, brake ever so slightly, and then re-apply the throttle to get the perfect line back into the turn, and accelerate all the way out of it.
Here's my problem i think.
into 4th at 81mph, and alongside the tree into the left kink i dab the brake to get position for the right sweeper, where i have to dab again, just to smoothly make it round, but i see many different speeds when i come out of here, so i think its an area for improvement.
flat to the long right.
As i approach, i hit 3rd, and slide round, perfectly parallel with the wall, and when i get to the first red sign, i back off, and immediately re-apply the throttle, accelerating all the way out. I have tried kicking 4th in, instead of backing off, and this worx, but im not sure which is faster.
Flat down the hill, into 4th at the kink, to avoid sliding, and straight down to 2nd for the hairpin, hugging the inside, and just missing the guys sitting on the cafe's brown chairs...
back up to 4th, use the kerb of the right sweeper to gain position so i can dab/slide my way round the left part of the s, as i pass T3.
drive straight into the first long right, braking down to 2nd, using a late apex, then just miss the inside walls in 2nd gear for the left and right hairpins that follow, remembering to get a good exit speed from the second.
Help?
Why am i slow?
