Dropped my NSX Gr.B's Race A QT pad lap down to a 1:18.203.

Improved my NSX Gr.3's Race C QT slightly, with a 3:41.419, and hopped into some races with a full S/SR bar to see what could possibly go wrong.

Race 1: Started P7. Fell back to P15 on Lap 1, after I tagged someone who braked super early for Indianapolis. When I had a bump buddy, the NSX Gr.3 was decent pushing the draft, but not leading it. Was able to make up some ground on people collecting penalties. Finished P9. Gained DR, SR stayed... maxed?

Race 2: Started P5. Was doing OK, until the final lap, when I was pushed into a spin at the Dunlop Chicane. Limped home to a P13. DR and SR took a bit of a hit.

Race 3: Started P4. Fell back a bit after slide-spinning into Mulsanne Corner on Lap 2, but was in the hunt for a podium on the final lap, when most of the cars directly in front of me fell victim to penalties and accidents. I had to kinda, um... improvise* after I mucked up the final chicane. Finished P4. DR went up a touch, SR went down a chunk.

*When life hands you lemons, chuck the lemons in reverse and floor it:



Race 4: Started P5. Got pushed into a spin at the Dunlop Chicane on Lap 1, falling down to P16 (last). Found myself solo for long stretches. Not sure how I recovered to finish P9. DR went down, SR went... up?

Race 5: Started P5. On Lap 2, I fell prey to an idiot that ruined the races of everyone around them. Managed to finish P9. DR took a hit. SR got massacred to a low S.

Screw it... one more! 😅

Race 6: Started P6. Collected a 2.0 second penalty at Arnage bonking the car in front of me. Finished P8. DR took another slight hit. SR dropped down to a... B. From a low S. To a B. What the hell. No A?!

Five out of six races in the Top 10 is almost enough to call today a win, but that massive SR hit, mixed in with all the stupid is just dumb. 😤

In to the 55.7's now (by .001). Still another couple of tenths to improve by though - frustratingly close on several occasions but just need to make one tiny error before the tunnel and I watch the time slip away.


I'm still using Tidgney's settings but gone to 535 on the front aero.

I've actually had some really good races, changing positions several times due all touching barriers at some point. I do think this combo would have been more popular as an A race slot.

Third day at HSR B, I may have found my "consistency's settings". It's basically Tidgney's set up, but with minimum extension instead. With his actual one my wheel (g923) was simply trying to kill me. My QT stands at a 56.475 (ideal 56.2), so I now can concentrate on trying to shave some 1/2 sec. more from that. Did one race today starting 3rd, passing the second before first braking, the polman and I both had a "moment" approaching the banking. I unfortunately clipped his side, being on the inside, enough to make him touch the barrier a lil losing momentum. Meanwhile the 3rd was coming back at us, giving me the push to regain that sufficient speed to get to the esses 1st. Behind me, a very optimistic driver did an attempt round the inside that made a mess. From that moment on, I owned the lead, cruising to the finish line 0.9 sec per lap faster than my followers. The 1st win on the R92 was anyway sweet. It's a mesmerising car, especially round last corner.
