Good one. :) Wasn't quite expecting that gap... I'll save my blurb for the results thread. Great running guys. :cheers:

Here's my lap video if anyone wants a look:

 
Nice lap! Very smooth driving. I had a lot more sliding around in mine, mainly because I used a more extreme LSD setting of 5/25/5. :lol: I think you might have gotten the win Chris. My T3 was abnormally slow in my submitted lap.
 
Uh oh. Mitch is .004 behind me on the first 2 splits. Gonna be a close one. :nervous:

Thats my NGU attitude.👍 I wasn't about to stop until I knew that I got every last .001 that I was capable of. Totally drained the tank on this one. I don't know how I managed that lap as my right hand was completely asleep and both wrists were burning. (Symptoms from injuries from my accident that I had.)

EDIT: Looks like I lost a ton on the last sector. Oh well, thats all I had. Happy with my time considering the trouble I was having. Congrats on the win "ItsAllAboutWins" (Sorry, don't remember your name) I'll get ya next time.:sly:

I know your pain somewhat. I was in a wreck in 1999, dislocated my shoulder and I have 2 pinched nerves in my neck and one in my upper spine. I think I pushed myself to hard looking for that .220 I had in t1. My shoulder is still getting pulsating pains today and my neck feels like someone is stabbing it when I put my hands above my head and I can only turn my head about half way what I normally can before I get a tight feeling with a burning sensation.

We are both falling apart and you're gonna be the death of me, trying to make sure I get a good enough lap in to fend off last minute Hail Marys. Lol

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one feeling the effects on their body from this TT.:ouch: My body really took a beating on this one.:crazy:

Yea. You can pass some of those non addictive pain meds over here any time you want lol

When do they normally post the unofficial results? Anxious to see where I roughly stand on my first TT

It varies from week to week, sometimes within an hour, sometimes the next day. You can go to the leaderboard for week 116 and click the results button on right side to see where you finished. :)

Thanks. My name's Brandon btw. I had one of those magical last sectors. I was up over .2 on my ghost at t2 only to have it go flying by in t3.

Might not be much competition in Suzuka though. My wife's sick with the flu and I'm not gonna push it to hard with my shoulder and neck hurting like it was. We will see what it brings 👍

My wrists do the same thing, though probably less severe than yours. Got clipped in my blindspot on the tollroad at about 65-70 in '09. Smashed rear first into the concrete center divider. Walked away from it (or I would have if the EMTs hadn't insisted I get checked) but my lil' GTI was totalled. :guilty: Pics of it in the "WRSers and their rides" thread.

I think I understand your motivation a bit better now. NGU, my friend! :cheers:
