Hmmm. Must try that.

EDIT: And thankfully Brandon's math is off by 4 hundo's. But as I mentioned, I have a boy-ish bus-stop on this lap.

A DS3 trick? Or wheelie? Let's hear it, eh?

I need to quit doing big thumbs and vids, and more driving. :grumpy:
You can see my sweet red-lapped 2:02 previous lap in the video...is that fast? :lol:

What I did to get the .4 in t3, the last corner of t2, I take in 1st then half throttle short shift to 2nd and floor it. Did it 2 laps in a row with a .008 difference on the ghost with the 479. In t1 you're quicker, but I cross the starting line on the low side then follow the worn in track spot to the middle of the track, brake at the Sunoco sign on pit lane then do the half throttle short shift to 2nd when I'm accelerating out.

Yea I thought you had a 1'05.15x for some reason. I have a terrible bus stop on my lap. I think the first splits I posted may be a little quicker. I'll have to check tomorrow. I never even look at lap Times anymore. Just the last sector times.

Just had to throw away a lap .150 faster than my current due to being about 2mm off on the second corner of the bus-stop. :ouch:

Will be disappointed if I can't find at least some of the 3-4 tenths left in. :grumpy:



EDIT: Seems like I did whatever the opposite of jinxing it is there:

27.867
23.656
13.490

Much faster splits and faster in the bus-stop but messy exit, so I lost a tenth down the banking. :rolleyes:

Seems like drifting the hairpin is fastest. :lol:

ok, lets try again! Now the car is standard it's what I was expecting it to be like, still great fun though!

So first splits are now:

27.759
23.614
13.451

still some time left to gain in T1, 2 + 4

Why aren't you in D1. :lol:
 
First 1, 000 laps of the day (or it felt like it trying to find a groove) 4 tenths better at the line. I'm 1 tenth off my goal for this week.

27.915
23.664
13.476

Thanks for the video Lucas. Really helped out my t2!!
 
That's close enough, Brandon, no more help for you. :lol:

Tim, I'm taking that car off share ASAP! :grumpy:

LoL I think I've hit my limit. I've got a pb in 4 sectors and theoretically looking for about 2 tenths. Won't be able to find it though. I am uploading a video for you of the first 3 sectors so you can see how I take t3. Paying it forward 👍
 
I'm surprised that my sector 3 is still holding up as the fastest so far. I've been a few hundredths quicker through there though. Not sure if I can get myself to do more laps yet. It's a bit annoying that you have to do a warm up lap. :grumpy:

Turn around to the beginning of the bus stop

I kinda like the warm-up lap. It gives me a chance to get...errr, warmed up. :lol: I'm not like the other kids though as I'm a bit odd and misunderstood. :lol::lol::odd:
 
Started running and got 1'05.2 in 5 laps. Didn't improve at all after that for another 30 minutes, not on splits anyway. Finding it rather frustrating to control with the gearing this thing has. Will post some splits soon when I find a decent lap :)
 
Gravitron
I was kidding, Nice splits. 👍

Cheers :) The only ones I'm happy with are T3 + 5, there is about .5 left on the lap.

Your splits aren't far off either, about .05 in T1 + 2, and .1 in T3. That is tiny in this car. It's all about traction on exit. You using 1st or 2nd on exit?

Really got to grips with this combo quickly. I think that's the key to TT's, if you get on the pace early it gets easier to find those last few tenths. If you're behind, it could take you all week to catch up.
 
Most of the tight turn exits I'm easy on the throttle in 1st, and then short shift to 2nd before it gets a chance to spin. Will keep trying. :)

I'm doing the same, it's quicker.

My ability on this is slim. Can't do a good full lap :/

Will try again another day.
 
Only tip I can give is probably no help at all, but try to straight line the exit as much as possible, the sooner you can get full throttle the better. I'm exiting in 1st, and running to redline. Obviously had a few mishaps on exit, but its normally because of a wheel on the grass rather than fighting traction.
 
Finally got to put some serious time in on this. Only been doing like 15 min. stints before, just messing around. After a few hours, this is what I have so far.

Anyone have a '67 ticket to offer me right now?
I'm out of town for a day with lots of time to try the combo, but with no internet connection so I can't borrow it from 3d3 account!

Nice! Hows the hip?
 
Fetchy doesn't seem to be picking up my splits. Probably because of my name change. Had Jordan add an extra T to the end of my name so everything would match. Can someone look into this please. Thanks.

@Brandon: Still hurts, just not as bad.
 
Overall time dropped .2. Slightly better T1-T3. I threw away some 1.05.5s, so I know I have more time to pick up, if I can put them in one lap.
