well that's about all i'm nailing at the moment, losing so much time over the rest of the lap.

I expect the winning T1 will be 36.9xx, or possibly a 36.8xx once some more aliens show. As for my t1, there is about 0.1 on the exit of turn 1, and maybe a tenth or two through Eau Rouge, its just threading the car through it.. so little margin for error. The issue with T2 is that its so long, I improve by a few tenths at 1 corner, then lose it again at the next :D can't seem to find my way through the last chicane well either

**
All in all, the slow and fiddly stuff I can't do, the touching cloth moments, i'm pretty good :D

EDIT:
And there for the handbrake should be prohibited in WRS imo

might as well ban normal brakes also :sly: nah sorry mate I disagree with that statement! but we all have our own opinions 👍
 
2 nights in T1 as good as I can hope for now, next T2 to work on. Final splits from tonight:

37.138
1'08.456
 
37.361
1'07.992

After watching the replay I'd swear I was drunk, except I don't drink. Really messy. Lots to clean up and I haven't really figured out the best way to take turn 1 yet.
 
I come down the gears and as I downshift to 1st, let off the brakes, which I find kicks the tail round, once ive got enough angle, shift to 2nd and plant the power. You want to be hugging the inside curb, but don't turn in too soon or you'll just understeer off at the exit/ not carry enough speed to make it worthwhile. Seems to be working well for me... T2 still eludes me.. my T1's get faster and T2 slower.. but still quicker at the line

37.107 (P.B)
1'08.496

update:

37.209
1'07.872

a slightly slower T1 but vast improvement in T2, lost a few tenths in T3 though :(

still .15 at least in T1 and a few tenths in T2 to find

Hopefully I'll find some seat time tonight. I'm sure my times will be slow as all can be. I think I've been on SPA twice , and by twice I mean 2 laps total in two separate drives.
Looks like a fun combo though!
 
37.660
1'08.200

Nearly the absolute best I can do across both sectors. Fastest T1 I've seen. Doesn't matter what gear I'm in, I am at the left extent of the track, then the right rumble and close to red clocking on the left. the fastest I can go through radillion is 132/133 and on average I only get something in the mid 7s. Reliably quicker if downshift, too. 5th gear just spears off to the left due to high speed.

Giving up for the time being :banghead:

👍 gives me something new to aim at now
-----------------------
You have to be really careful when climbing the right-hand rumble at Eau Rouge, if you turn in too soon, you hit the rumble and it will bounce you off to the left, turn too late and you will understeer off anyway.

Im getting about 138-140 through Radillion, I experimented with a downshift but found the best way was to lift, turn in, coast a little more to make sure you make the corner, then back on the power
 
good morning

I wanted to participate and what I've seen has to be with a registered account GTP, put the time in writing this post and then if necessary to send the replay to confirm that it is a good return. ? and all within the arcade mode?

Thanks and hope to leave some time these days.

It will be the first time I try the arcade mode, I'll try not to set anything wrong and save repetition in pendrive!: Tup:

Its just a case of lifting off in 5th to get the car settled just before the rumbles on the left and the turning in, hoping it sticks whilst planting the throttle. Its essential to get a good exit of eau rouge so if it means going in a few mph slower to gain a few mph extra coming off the corner, its beneficial.
 
OK, sorry, I have to do a register and proof not to enter? if someone explains me, I'm a bit lost in this area! thanks
