Had my first crack at this last night, no aids except for ABS on 1. (Praiano's tune. Will try Chris' tonight.)

17.138 (Lots of room for improvement here!)
27.460 (And here, :lol:!)
23.440

Looking for 0.5 short term...

I hit this in anger for about an hour last night, tried Praiano's tune for the first time. 👍
I have a clean lap that is 0.2 faster to T3, but its horrid T4 ruined it, and made this one faster overall, despite a bobble in the hairpin after the tunnels:

16.343
26.848
23.186 :bobble:

Looks like I'm gonna have to get more angry now. :sly::lol:
 
16.191
26.678
22.651

is very difficult to take out a 16.0 in the first sector vagabond, but not impossible xDD great second sector u have 22.4 :scared:
 
You're gonna love this Mitch. I unplugged my inverter to early last nigh and apparently it didn't save my ghost. The lap time is up on my leader board but none of my ghost replays are on there. :/ trying to run it again.

It's weird cause I backed out to watch the replay last night too.

New splits with a hopefully saved replay

16.410
27.132
22.899

Just about a half tenth slower to the line.

Damn, that sucks. On another note tho, I finally managed to get my "rollover" trophy on this account. :lol:

Well Done 👍

Now looking to tie loose ends (aka get the magic lap) lost a tenth in sector 1 as I have seen a plethora of .1s, sector 2 I believe I have a .65 in me sector 3 another tenth. So about 3 tenths but Ill be happy to improve by half of that. Nice going Wins 👍
 
I'm glad survived the crash OK!! :)

Thanks Gayle. I was pretty shaken up over the whole thing, I'm not going to lie, but I'm fine now. 👍

@manumanu19: Don't go complimenting Wins...whose side are you on anyway? :lol:

You my once competitor. I don't know how you got missed in the promotions. I'd bet you'll be going to DIV 2 soon. 👍

Ha ha, thanks. I thought it was pretty cool myself too. :lol:

@Gayle: No promotion for me. I think the staff has a conspiracy against me. :lol: I'm starting to feel like the "Red-Headed Step-Child" around here. :lol: Not even no love from my man crush Chris. :lol:

Ok, I better stop now and get down to buissiness before the men in white suits come and take me away. :lol::lol::lol:
 
:lol:

Now look at what you've done.....you're going to make me turn green and drive angry. :lol:

"Mr. Wins, don't make me angry, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry."

Ha!!! I'm still leaving some in T2 but a PB on T3 and almost PB on T1 will be hard to beat. I'll probably submit with these splits since I won't have any more time until the deadline. Good luck!

Very nice lap, congrats on an awesome run through there. Its going to be hard to beat, but I'm going to give it my best shot. I just got done knocking off 2 tenths, so I'm getting there. Throwing caution to the wind now and just going balls to the wall. Made a few adjustments to my tune which seemed to really help plus I'm getting sector 2 figured out now which also helps. Its going to be close, but you know how I am...may not have the skill, but I've got heart and determination and won't stop till the fat lady sings. ;)

Again, impressive lap my friend. 👍 :cheers:
 
Gave it a try today and I'm way out of shape yet. I can only do 3 or 4 laps, but I will give it a stellar try tomorrow. :boggled:
 
Pretty good improvement tonight. I think this is as good as I'll do in sector one. Lost a bit in two but made a bit back in the second half.

16.526
27.124
23.084

Slowly but surely you'll make it back. Baby steps my friend, baby steps. 👍

Don't go being like me now and busting stitches and start bleeding all over the place, therefore having to wear adult diapers just to keep from bleeding on my Playseat. :lol: My girlfriend thought I was crazy!!!! My therapist tends to agree with her. :lol::lol::lol:

Probably would of kept that one between myself, the girlfriend and the therapist. Not judging you though. Promise. Just don't be a spokesman for depends. LoL

Thanks. Means a lot! How many miles you put in so far? I think I'm in the 600's but Bob helped me out with 22 laps of grand valley. I think I'll have one more go for today. I've got some free time and that T2 is bugging me being so high.

Ahh, it doesn't bother me....people knowing I see a therapist. Its just for anxiety issues, that's all. I'm comfortable with who I am and don't mind joking about it. If people wanna judge, so be it. :)

As far as miles, I'm sitting at exactly 687.4, which is surprising because I'm normally over 1,000 this late in the week. Been kinda busy with the whole hybrid thing and enjoying some of those cars.

Thought they patched hybriding???

Just threw away my PB lap. Had a 43.139 at the T2 split but spun out on the right hander before the T3 split. That was all the time I had. Gonna definitely be busting it again when I get some free time.
 
They did, but a few of my friends figured out a way around it again.

That sucks when that happens. Had more than my share of those. I just need to get T2 split to where I'm consistant and I might have a little something for you. I don't know though, you're almost a half second up on me and that's gonna be tough to make up. You're definitely kicking my ass this week, that's for sure.

Nah you can do it. Just get a low-mid .4 in t1 then a good 2nd sector and a good t3. You've already got the 1st end 3rd. Just string it together. Just try different techniques and lines for T2, you'll figure it out. Little bit of brake, sliding and flooring it!

Yea, I've pretty much nailed each sector at different times, I just need to string them altogether. If I can do that, it'll be close. Done for tonight tho, gotta get some sleep. G-nite. :)
