Well, MisterWeary(colby?), it appears I'll chase you down without even having a decent T2... I had a higher 34.5xx earlier, only to stuff it up at the corkscrew, which normally doesn't cause me too many problems, as you can see here:

T1: 17.869(meh)
T2: 34.730(what's new)
T3: 52.547(:sly:)
T4: .2 faster at the line.

If I can get that T2 down a tenth or two, and get that tenth back that I know I'm capable in the last sector, I'll be flying way faster than I ever had any intention of flying when I first started this combo. Hell, I was way farther than I thought I'd be after my first session!(these are long sessions by the way... definitely borrowing some of Scott's monkeys this week).
 
Well, I know I can be faster, but it'll take me a half an hour to two hours to get it probably. I've spent more than enough time on this week's race anyway. Need to get off my butt for a while so I can sit down on it again tonight for my JGTC race!

Edit: I forgot to mention, TIME SUBMITTED. That was the whole point for this post, lol.
 
Finally back with some times. Not great but they're my best clean one's so far, I'd be so much faster if I could put all my decent sectors together, not heard that one before hey guys?

T1 18.578
T2 35.589
T3 54.579

I'm probably not gonna get much more off this week, I've only seen a T1 under 18 seconds once, then crashed at the next corner, because I was looking at the split time :dunce:.

Top speed 280, no aids. 👍
 
Nice T2 -> T3 run Kyle 👍

Well, I have really good sectors now on this track with this car... but never on the same lap. Even after getting 52.7's galore on high 34's, I could never manage to beat my 53.1 T3 -> Finish. (I clipped the grass on the right of the last hairpin so many times under braking sending me immediately spinning :banghead:)

So, since my thumbs are raw (almost as bad as BC3), it will be all for me this week. Submitting current time. Bottom D1, here I come :)
 
Played for an hour. Thumbs hurting :crazy:

Here are my splits so far:

T1: 18.017
T2: 35.029
T3: 53.369

290 top speed, no driving aids

👍

Wow man, that's some serious T2 - T3 action :crazy: you and the corkscrew seem to like each other :sly: I'll probably get one more crack at this tonight before submission, see if I can find a tenth or two 👍
 
Well, here's my debut effort. Not much to brag about. I could get some good spilts but never on the same lap.:banghead:

So for those of who need a good laugh...

T1 - 18.373
T2 - 36.108
T3 - 55.250

RSS all the way, 300, & unfortunetly TCS. The last corner was killing me without it. If I didn't lose speed spinning the tires, I'd lose it trying to ease on the throttle. The best I could do was about .2 slower. :grumpy:

Oh, and thanks to everyone for making a rookie like me feel welcome.:cheers:
 
Thanks for the props on the T2-T3 action guys. Somehow on that lap I managed to maintain speed, as well as get on the gas pretty early and maintain traction throughout. I have no clue how I managed it, but I stayed pretty much off the curbs the whole way through, thus letting me put the power down... 👍
 
T1: 18.335 :)
T2: 35.675 :D
T3: 53.938 :dopey:
and .6 faster at the line! (told ya)

totaly botched the first turn, riding around the outside for most of it, but made up for it everywhere else and still managed to nudge under my best T1. i prety much just wrestled the car around the course this time. not smooth at all like my previous run. lots of smoke from the rears but faster none the less. chasing my previous laps ghost I saw T1's as low as 18.1 and would LOVE to give it one more round but the deadline seems to be drawing close. (please tell me i didnt miss the boat, god i hate time zones) anyway... *Time submission in progress*
 
Very slow time for me. :ouch:

Still wanted to let you all know I submitted a lap. :dopey:
Very slow just like I said but none the less a lap is being submitted. :D

If I expected anything better than last in D1 I would have come and posted earlier (or if I had run the laps before yesterday).

In any case, trust me, the lap is slow enough to warrant a D2 demotion if not D3. :indiff:
Let's see if I can run at Autumn Ring in the Vette. :)
(maybe I will suck there too and find out that I'm only half decent on the Ring) :ouch: :cheers:
 
Submissions get :cheers: from me!

Now, to go convince Coolgeeks to submit his time as well...
 
well, no improvements tonight for me. ended up with 17´6/34´2/52´2, but 0´7 away from my goal... i don´t know if i´m doing the corner at T3 right... maybe i´m losing time, maybe not... well, bring on next week and my favorite track:)
 
well had another shot/stab at it and bet my previous best by about .11 with an incredible T3-finish
17.593 ;)
34.146 crappish
52.116 crappish also, but not bad

time submitted
 
Farout...had a decent session that included a 17.55x at T1, 34.2 several times at T2 and one 52.3 at T3 but no laps beating my current one. That corkscrew almost brought this grown man to tears :( I may be done me thinks
 
For the rookies (and for old-timers with a poor memory) :
10 hours and 20 minutes
left before deadline
 
That's right Brad and Dion, what Cyril meant to say was "come and get it if you think you're hard enough" :sly:

Well, that's your personal interpretation Colby.
I was just answering to Inferno's fear that he might miss/have missed the deadline, and I included old timers because it's rather frequent that they submit a few minutes too late.

Yeah I knew what you meant 👍 , I was just taunting Brad and Dion who are currently having a last minute stab at the race to try and beat me...10 hours and 2 minutes boys :sly:

I knew what you meant too, but I don't want to be an accomplice of your teasing :D
 
I'm not running this week Colby ;)

But rest assured i already have a time for next week, come get it :dopey: :dunce:

Well I'd love to tough talk you but you came 2nd in the BC last year when you raced this track so I'd suggest you're gonna whip me like a........something that gets whipped?!? :confused:

since i missed MSN this week, i will have to wait a bit to see how good your finish was... you´re up 0´1 at T3, lets see the finish of the lap:) well:scared: maybe you broke that second barrier:tup:
 
Casio
T1 - 17.756
T2 - 34.388
T3 - 52.776
Grrr... I guess my finish sucked. You're ahead of me. Damnit. Lol, last night before I went to bed you weren't.

And Colby, is that lap from your current splits right next to mine? Dayum, I really did bad at the finish. Worse than a tenth or so slow that I was originally thinking anyway.

I love his definition of crappish... :)

If I were to have driven every minute of every day from the time the race was posted 'till the deadline, I couldn't hit those times. :sly:

Absolutely unbelievable, your driving abilities Holl01 !!!
 
T1: 18.555
T2: 35.952
T3: 54.794 before the lords of oversteer tries to dither my efforts of an hot lap but in vain!!! Very happy with this lap after a weekend of inactivity and rubbish driver yesterday. :P Submitting this now...
 
3 hours before deadline, and 24 submissions so far : 13 div1, 5 div2 and 6 div3.
C'mon div2-ers and div3-ers, there are plenty of points left to be granted this week.


Edit :
25, (13/6/6) by the time I post it.
 
7 Div 2, just submitted, no improvement on previous times so that should put me about 7th. :D
 
Well, I improved my overall time by a bit, so I guess I'll just leave it at that and submit this thing... Just over an hour to go 'till the deadline...

T1:18.390
T2: 35.733
T3: 54.940
End: About 0.9 sec faster than before...
