I strongly considered not submitting this week because I'm so far off pace, but it just didn't feel right. All I ask is that you don't snicker too loudly.

 

[Carlos Fandango]

All was going well....until T8 - so now I'll have to get up early tomorrow morning as well!

you never know! you can gain .5 through a good exit onto the final straight, and the last chicane can be a pain to nail too. I'm not very confident with the end of my lap, I'm just hoping the current lead I have in D2 makes up for it.. or I manage to improve later after work

Historically, my conversion rate on this track has been appalling (one clean lap in nearly 1000 miles in week 54)…and I’ve been consistent this time around as well

After a poor T1 and a shocking T8 I was convinced that there was still 2 seconds left on the track so at 6am this morning I was sat in my seat for a final 15 minute hurrah before work. After a few false starts, sure enough, I got to the end of T7 0.7 up on my current splits and determined that my anomaly in T8 last time was not going to happen again and that I’d be well into the 35’s (or better) at T9…except I managed to find a piece of barrier that I’ve never come close to hitting in the last 7 years across GT4 and GT5

So that’s it for me. Somewhat disgusted with myself, I’m submitting the current splits with about 2 seconds missing from the lap and with my fingers crossed.

@Baron, I won’t if you won’t

Good luck to those still running

If you're asking becasue you already see the next event posted, we normally put the next event up early, we do not wait until the prior week's deadline.

That gives people who are done with or who were not interested in the last event a chance to run it.

Out of curiosity, does it still count as clean if the rears are on and the fronts are off? Had another that I stuffed because I wasn't precisely sure.

Was this question answered by one of the Admins?

Theoretically, that counts.

I'm curious how you managed that. A pic might be helpful.

I don't have a picture but I actually did it at Monaco at the Chicane with the Mazda The lap was dirty later on so I didn't save it!

That's one of the reasons I've required 4 on track at times in that corner.

A bit messy but clean. Will run some more laps before deadline to try and clean it up a bit in between doing some other stuff around the house. Still a lot of time out there.

 

[gtpcaine]

A few snaps from my tour:

'ave it!

just a little bit of air

----------------------

And with that I think I'm going to submit. Just can't seem to match my pace from the weekend, and had a hard day at work today. There is at least 1 second, which I dropped from T1-6 and I'm not very confident about the end of the lap either.

Still more time out there if I could clean it up.

 

[Allibubba99]

I hope I don't see the ring again for a very long time!!!!!! Maybe I just need to shut myself into the house with the ring for a week and run nothing but....

Here are my final splits...

I'll be asking for some chuckle-immunity too; I couldn't muster anything useful last night either, just couldn't complete a lap before I was too tired. Kept pushing in the wrong spots, I think. I was looking for at least a second in sectors 8 and 9, and a less timid finish. Plenty of easy tenths to fix here and there, but you can't get them all.

Disappointing to only have two completed laps, but it was fun. Submitting!

 

[Carlos Fandango]

You do make me laugh Ren - it seems that between you, me and Baron we're metaphorically trying to fall out of each others way. The WRS equivalent of politicians trying to lower expectations before a debate

Good luck mate

I was struggling all last night trying to get a better lap with no avail. Finished work early today and had another hour behind the wheel.

Talk about last minute heroics... turned in the lap of my life just at the deadline. Really enjoyed this course/car.

[gtpcaine]

I know they haven't been posted yet but congrats on the win Mike, I was wondering if you'd hit a sub '55! Well done all other podium finishers

 

[mike_gt3]

Thx Caine! im happy with the win! i was afraid of my t3, wich was 3 tenths slower than my best, but look like it was okay.

keeping further comments for the unofficial thread

 

[Brend]

Just looked at my time on the leader-board and I am absolutely cringing. I put a 9 instead of a 7 for my minutes column.
