It all stems from the corner just after T2, you need to power on a bit later or apex a bit later so you can start turning right quickly (without cutting the concrete of course) and be done turning so you can then start turning left (2nd last corner) without being too far over on the left side of the track. I find short shifting to 5th can help with that too, but to answer your question, Yes. I do take it flat but its all linked 2 corners back on weather or not your successful. By getting on the power a bit later after T2, it may seem like your loosing time but because of the nicer and smoother lines you can take you will be able to get a higher top speed and make up for the tenth you "think" you lost.
Hopefully all that makes sense

Sorry if this confused you, it was ment as a funny hence the quip (re-Leaf) the picture was part colour part black and white so that the Sun-Beams would pick up the leaf's and highlight them.
These two are taken from my fastest lap to date, almost the same shot plus the concrete section later in the lap.-------------The paint work is Black Cherry with white wheels.
As you can see back to my normal standard what you would expect from the
old git two wheel on the black stuff.Phillip.

Yeah, that's clean.
Nothing to worry about on the white boundary lines this week.
The main reasons I made sure there were only the 2 track surfaces are the concrete sections I showed in the pic of the first post, and then in order to avoid the whole "Grasscrete" debate. If you don't know what that is, don't ask.

And there was me trying this whole time to stay inside those white lines when will I ever learn
Hopefully now I should be able to go faster

Im finding it really tough to do the double right hander... That corner just eats tenths... can do 22.7 - 8's till the cows come home but very rarely can I do that corner properly, its got some mid corner speed thats just very hard to maintain with the power understeer you get with this car. Sadly oversteer doesnt fix the understeer as the front wheels just understeer and slide off the track with the rear as soon as you power on anyway
I find I have to lift to about 95% throttle as I hit the apex of that double right and then the same again as I approach the rumbles up the hill on the right. Once I hit the white line next to those rumbles I quickly center the wheel and floor it at the same time and I generally hit that line pretty well.

It's been raining here in the Northeast for two weeks with another week of rain in the forecast. That slows down my work schedule, which increases my WRS time!
Playing around with tunes from Plato and RKM and Kevin gives me these splits:
T1: 23.018
T2: 29.360

Should the Civic have 277hp after RM/ Parts installed and a Oil change? Mines at 274 I think. And some of you are talking about 280+

Much better t1, then I lost a couple of tenths, with a decent but not great finish.

Once you break in the engine, you will get 280+ hp 👍

That's me done for this week. There was a glimmer of hope there for a second but it seems the secret of how to go fast in a FWD continues to elude me...
Have fun chaps and good luck
I am not the best in FWD cars either, but I don't seem to be doing to badly at this combo. I'm sure judging by your recent performances you have to give this another crack, the week has just begun and I am pretty sure by the end of it you will be there or there abouts by the end of the week. Chin up and good luck 👍

No Chris don't leave. I like your tune, but usually you make changes to your tune as the week progresses. You can't be that bad either. The splits will improve over the week.That's me done for this week. There was a glimmer of hope there for a second but it seems the secret of how to go fast in a FWD continues to elude me...

Dang, Chris, your settings were my base, and then I pick here and there.
You can't leave! It's unanimous!!!👍
