Ran some more laps tonight and didn't improve my T1 but gained nearly a full second at the line. As Cmir said, a good T1 isn't any guarantee of a podium spot this week.
Welcome to the 'Wheelers' club Jerome, you were hard to beat with the controller, the G25 can only make you even better.
And welcome to the old guys club Nurb, although I don't think we're the oldest around here by any stretch. My first racing game was Night Driver on the Apple II (basically a picket fence that moved and you had to stay in the lane using the paddle controller (rotary pot)

You guys are just a couple of years younger than my parents... 
Another 80km session with the same settings I previously used (I tried Holl's settings but somehow they felt much different from mine, and I didn't like it that way), my split is now 17.469. I'm submitting this one, despite knowing I could get a bit faster (I had a dirty lap better by 0.1, which is a lot on this track)

I guess I lied about my not being able to do 17.4s consistently, I just hadn't been looking at my T2 time. Been lapping a LOT faster than before, chasing a current dirty ghost that's pretty darn quick, except only a normal T1. I'll have to back out and start chasing it afresh though, as it's giving me troubles.
Not even giving yourself a chance, eh?

T1: 17.482 and 3 tenths off at the line. Still chasing another couple tenths that are hiding from me along with a 17.3 T1... Don't see a 17.2 T1 in it for me with my settings, oh well... We'll see what happens at the finish line.
EDIT: Uhhhhh, maybe I do see a 17.2?
T1: 17.292 with appropriate clean-up on the finish.
Since I'm driving right on top of myself lap after lap, I think I'm going to keep going until I have to leave, which is in a half an hour... Crazy.

I started my last effort about 40 min ago and damn it's hard to gather up that last .2 I'm after I've had anything from 17.21 to 17.40, all within .05 of my best ghost. Just a few more attempts and I'm off to sleep I sware.
EDIT: Goodnight now, I'll sub what I got, gl to all still out there 👍

EDIT tried nurbie today just to see how I stand ... picked the Nissan 350Z granturismo on -20/-10. Found out that doing the Nordschleife could be acceptable or even quite fun if the car doesn't weigh over 1300kg and if its topspeed is restricted to around 200kph save the final stretch ... so VERY curious what car our steward picked for us this time

Birthdate contest? Well, I can't resist an opportunity for an easy win....
How about September 3, 1950!
I wished I liked MR cars a little better because I'd be tempted to show some of you kids what "Old Fart Power" can do!
Maybe I'll get out of my 'rockin chair', take a big dose of Geritol and dust off the old PS2 anyway.

July 1992.
Back on topic... I gave this another shot after recovering three whole horsepower (amazing what difference that makes!) with an oil change. I was very surprised; apparently Erik's great combo with the Stratos rally car on Tsukuba wet got me into MR mode again, and the car suddenly felt much better behaved. On about my third lap I got a split of 17.500, and had no idea how I did it, and promptly ran the next lap faster anyway, for a lap that finally beat my pathetic goal. It also helps that I remembered to use overrides on my AT
, because the limiter is so far into the redline. So, my new and improved T1:
17.637
I braked a little later than normal on this lap and actually slid effectively through turn 3 for the first time. This split is a whole .002 faster than a ghost I had from a few laps before, with a final a grand total of .001 faster. What great improvements I make!
EDIT: All right, I lied. I am submitting. I finally found the time I was looking for in T1, so at least my split looks good. We'll see about the results, though. And I admit, I'm using only a very slight variation on holl01's settings. 
I don't have the patience to tune.
17.484
I figured out one thing I was doing wrong before: trying to steer while braking. Let the rear come around on its own, and you don't have to do that extra braking that comes from it understeering when cornering and braking.

I have run out of patience for this one, as a combo that is of more interest to me awaits. My final split is actually a little slower than on Luxy, at a 17.939, but I found quite a bit in that last sector.
I might be wrong, but I don't think that split is going to matter too much this week. Almost like racing in the dark.
Good luck to all still running.
