Well, I'm still not going through with no brakes though I have managed to do it in the past. I'm still more consistent and can still hold 130/131 mph NOW with just a dab of left foot braking.
Got in some more time and at first I thought my most recent time was a fluke but then I got back in the groove at bettered my time by almost 0.2". Better make that 0.4 Ace!
T1 14.107
T2 42.146
I can actually still see more time out there, but I'm a bit in the doghouse for playing as much as I have this week.

You say they're killing you, I can still barely manage a low 15.xxx at T1 and you're nailing it a full one second faster, pooooor baby!

That's what I do too, when I am pissed at the world
The Wizard.
Na, never liked the format.
I'm more of a first-person shooter kind a guy. Ex forces and all that!
Played most titles, and drag the oldies out for a change sometimes.
Only play them on the pc too!
Mouse and keyboard has been the best way to play them since castle wolfenstein, more accurate.
And anyone who says that Halo on the x-box proved that the 'pad' was the way to go, has clearly never played RTCW or all 3 Splinter Cell's or even Halo on a pc using a mouse
At the minute i'm using Half-life 2(played it thro 5 or 6 times), using some cheats now seeing that i'm just using it as stress relief!
BLOODBATH + zombies + aliens + cool weapons with infinite ammo!
It's so much fun! LOL

welp... i gave this a second chance but the thought of running even one more lap makes me throw up in my mouth a bit. so i submitted my final time.
14.284 | 42.719 | ????
ack... this would have been so much more fun if it wasn't in arcade mode.
the car is good, the track is good, but the default settings are horrible.
i know i left a full second on the track but i'm totally unwilling to go through the frustration of chasing it... the car is just so unreliable and inconsistant.
laptimes are so erratic its painful to watch a replay.

Ok i gave another 1 hour and half shot and i think i´ve chased my limit. I guess 0.1 or 0.15 left, no more for me at least.
T1 - 0'14.061
T2 - 0'41.361
T3 - 1'1S.LOW
I will submit it as it seems i won´t have my computer up tomorrow, so in case that i don´t have it here tomorrow, my time will be already submited.
Good luck to you all guys. 👍

I think I've had enough of Paris, Clio's and this week's race. Paris is a nice city - race through it is not 
Never liked Clio's that much either...
I might (note - might) give it another run tomorrow, when I'll come home from university, weather (and power) permitting. But if I won't come close to my current best lap time within the first 10 laps, then I am going to submit - whether that means reaching my goal or not. I am to the point where I just don't care anymore about the French Revolution. I am not much of a history guy anyway
Wish I had a machine gun, a Clio parked in front of my apartment and lots of bullets - and a nice rocket launcher to finish it off

New splits:
#3 Clio (Silver/Grey)
Gearing @ 230
T1 = 0'14.424
T2 = 0'43.314
It seems I am loosing most of my time from T1 to T2. I am managing the fast left after T2 between 208 and 210 km/h.
It looks like I need to run quite a few more laps before tomorrow to save some face.
Later 👍

I've completely lost faith in my driving ability...I've spent as much time on this task as I have in past weeks and I have exactly **** all to show for it!
Here's my best lap:
T1: 0'14.570
T2: 0'43.239
I'm embarrassed and severely p***ed off. I've seen 0'14.2xx many times at T1, I've driven 28.2 seconds from T1 to T2 a few times, I've seen 0'42.6xx numerous times at T2 and plenty sub 43's but not once, not even ONCE have I beat this disgusting pathetic lap listed above...
At one point I was totally in the zone and my dodgy controller decided to play up at exactly that time, so down all the straights it would veer off to the right, I switched the analog controls around...same thing! So I promptly destroyed the ****ing thing!!! Although smashing it against the tiled floor gave me some immediate relief, my new controller and the release of my frustration didn't make my driving improve...
Am I a pathetic driver? I hope not. Am I the only one having this much trouble this week? It feels like it. Do I have anger management issues? Yeah probably...but what can you do.

its not your fault... the car is setup for a smooth track, not a bumpy and slick street circuit. It bottoms out several times without even hitting the kerbing. It needs a higher ride height, softer shocks, softer sway bars, to make it more civalized. And a bit more camber to get rid of that nasty throttle on push and poor direction changing.
The car doesn't behave different every lap... its different every friggin corner.

Well, after a lot of playing about 30 laps
T1: 14.5xx
T2: 43.573 (first time! only done it once)
STUFFED UP AFTER THAT!! i didnt hit walls but my braking sucked after the end of the high speed straight!!!
and that completely destroyed the time i could have been heading for!!
On the bright side.. there isn't any, i dont like this track!!

i´m still 1´1 seconds away from the time i want...
its not going to happen really... maybe some laps tonight, but don´t think its going to change all that much... funny that i can run 42´4 in my first lap on the track, but still, with 20 laps or so, i can´t have 41´s...
i´m attacking the curbs in the wrong way, i know...
maybe some news later tonight, but for now...

Hmmm, so far I've only managed to do one serious session with around 20 laps. A shame because I really love the track and the car! I'm currently at work, going through the thread to see if there are any tips available. Tonight I'll have to go around a second faster than my current best to have a decent D3 time. We'll see how it goes...
Finally, good luck to everybody involved in the bad weather situation in the US! 👍

Why are people considering posting their time or not...depending if they are good or not on that week...doesn't that goes againts racing with each other....i dont understand...
...whats better: a guy with a 100% win ration, but with only a few participated races...or a guy with 75% win ratio but he raced all of them...
i would chose the second option...I mean, we're competing against each other for the fun of it, but, also, to determine who's the best...If you dont send your time to compare them because you're slow that week...it doesn't work
you cant always be on top!
If people always do that, we should almost have a participating ratio as well...lol
My two cents...

I'll submit my time no matter what it is I finally got to run a few more laps, and I actually saw some fast progression. Within 8 laps, I had dropped more than 1 second off of my final time. I'm still not 100% happy, but it at least gives me something respectable to submit.
T1: 14.498
T2: 42.803
The best part was my T2 was only .3 faster, but my final time was more than .7 faster!!!
