T3. 1'42.059 (seen 1'41.7)
T5. 3'06.674 (seen 3'06.3)
T8. 4'59.882
Been testing the ending a lot so managed 1.2s over my other time. Usually on Nurb combos I restart alot for sectors 1-3, but I can actually test passed T8 this time since I'm not crashing much.
Still a lot of errors although first time I've been under 5'00 at T8 even though I've been ahead .5 at T7 I mess up and get 5'00.3.
Optimal lap is probably 1'41.1/3'05.1/4'56 so I'll run a bit more later.

I see you were participating in a Nurburgring series a few years back. I'm sure that you have run this track plenty of times and must of been happy to see this weeks combo.
I will look forward to your replay if needed. I would like to compare it to mine in certain sectors that I am not performing well, especially t5 - t8.
I am loosing quite a bit of time through those sections, despite no real mistakes. The next session I will be going through that area over and over after watching some old WRS replays on the lines and techniques taken through there.
I was working on that darn Galgenkopf and I feel pretty smooth through there now. I have been trying to keep the speed for that long straight to the finish. Its working.
Actually tried a couple of the recent Ring WRS's and I do much worse than I used to. It's just with this combo, (maybe not if it was the Vauxhall car) I can go all out speed after T1/T5/ before T10 quick easily whereas I would be crashing quite a bit and never making it passed T5 much.
As for T5-T8 and this car in general loses a lot of time if you don't downshift sometimes even if you are going to upshift in 5 more mph. I could give you more information in PM if you send those individual splits (T5-T6-T7-T8), because these ones as T5-T8 isn't really a good indication of anything.

Kenny I can see your tail lights now. I just keep chipping away at it. T8 to finish is probably my best sector, that and start to t3. Like you I'm losing a lot of time t3-t8.
I have my moments but they are usually met with disaster.
1'43.614
3'09.907
5'07.214
picked up 1.8 at the line however!

Had a long session today. Switched to 270 top speed, which is definitely the way to go I think.
About two hours of solid driving, with a fair bit of frustration along the way
, came to these splits:
t3: 1'43.972
t5: 3'11.424 (mistake between t4 and t5)
t8: 5'07.511
It looks pretty close in D3, but I think I'm pretty much at my limit, so I hope my t8-finish is good enough...
Hey, Andy, not playing ball this week?

Not much players participate regularly in the WRS nowadays, maybe 20 or so. This number tends to drop as GT4 is getting older and GT5 kicks in. But I still play both games.
My first laps are all dirty or slow (restarted), so I don't have any splits to post, but I'm running very close to jmgyro's pace. I think I'm slower than him at T3 (best was 1'42.3) but faster at T5 and T8. I used gears at 270 but 280 is probably better.

Yea I had a couple days of just restarts with no progress, but seem to be doing a bit more efficiently now as I really hate seeings T1-T3 again and again.
Just did 1'42.2/3'06.3/4'59.1, but crashed twice which sucks. I did compare splits with 2 people though and to one person I'm losing 1.1s just from T4->T5 alone so I've got to ask how fast are you guys going on the 2 turns right after T4. I really never got the hang of that little sector since I can never find grip.
Those turns are some of the hardest of the track. It's one of the places where I (and probably most of you as well) lose many good laps either with crashes or lots of lost time. I was doing them in 3rd gear, for the first one I used a braking point at the right side of the track (I don't remember exactly what it is, it's where grass ends and tarmac starts or something like this) and I take it between 130-135 kmh, and for the second one I brake at the beginning of the uphill and take it at 125-130 kmh.
Yea I think the first turn there I was in 4th so maybe I'm losing some power, I can't drive with the ghost while turning so I can't tell exactly how I'm gaining/losing time. I did manage a better time by getting 0.5 quicker in that sector but I lost that much time right before T8, but overall 1.1s quicker.

Thanks, I'm not sure if you can but I don't see why not.
0'42.034/1'14.507/1'41.717
Best T2 I've seen, but I've seen 0'42.3-> 1'14.616 and 0'41.9 at T1. So optimal is like 0'41.9/1'14.2, but I just want to get around 1'42 flat at T3, since even in my best lap so far I took the turn right after T3 poorly and had to brake instead of going all out.

Great splits there, it would take me some more time to match that 👍 Honestly I don't think I will win this week, as I said I have 2 mistakes after T8 and your T8 is already better than mine, so you could only end behind me with a terrible last T8-finish part. Furthermore, I have already submitted my lap so I won't improve.

I love this combo! The configuration with low HP but good grip makes this car very enjoyable to push to its limit, especially at the Ring! 
Some splits:
1'42.605
3'07.624
5'01.376
Using DS2 for this one. Quite pleased with that time, but will try to break it tomorrow (and I'll also try to remember to submit this week
)
