Phew, on the raggedy edge....!

13.509
39.054

That may be about it for me... :crazy:
 
Amazing times, Chris......using parts of your tune as usual! ;)

Ditto what Suspect said RE: tune update!
 

CSL, your gear setup is spot on for me! 👍

Just wish I could drive as well as you guys!
 
T1: 13.531
T2: 39.288

My best T2 so far. No idea how my T3 will stack up but it was only about .05 behind my best one so I hope I'm not losing as much ground as I did in the first half of the lap.

edit: Since everyone's sharing, I'm using RKM's tune with LSD decel raised to 15 and CSL's ride height and gearing. Although honestly, I can barely tell the difference between the different suspension tunes that have been posted in the thread! :)

Thanks guys - made me sweat that lap did. Not finished yet though - keep getting 13.4's in T1 then throwing away T2, and have twice now dipped into 38.9's in T2 so I'd like to nail that together if I can.

Current setup:

Aero:
40/65

LSD:
10/41/13

Suspension:
0/-15
14.4/15.3
7/9
7/9
6/6

2.5/1.2
0.0/0.10

Brakes:
7/5

Gears:
Max 193mph
3rd 1697
4th 1303
5th 1051
6th 0880

Reckon I'm done for the night now - keep bashing the barrier again after that fast left hander just before the last corner.

Interested to see what Dan will show us is possible....
 
No new splits but some observations. I have been running a slightly modified RKM tune with BB flipped to 9/7 and tweaked trans. My best so far was run on that with w-g-e's trans settings. I tried CSL's 1.05 tune but couldn't find the speed I wanted, probably due to being used to the other. However, I had some great runs with w-g-e's trans in CSL's tune (sorry I don't know your names guys! :scared: ). It felt good but I didn't have enough time to get down a good clean lap. Even so, bouncing off walls on a conservative run I am only tenths off my best.

Thought I would throw that out if anyone is looking for something new or for a bit of a change.
 
New Splits: Slower is Faster! ;)

13.490
39.238

I cannot for the life of me beat 52.6's at T2, can barely run an occasional 13.5 in T1. And then magic happened in T3.... ;)
Not really, only a tenth at the line, still need one more.
Springs
14.8 13.8
 
I know what you mean CSLACR, I was running .5's and .6's in T1, and after tweaking my setup I'm running .7's for the most part, however, I've been able to make big improvements in T2 and T3. yesterday I matched my total split exactly and took off 2 tenths at the line.

I saw a 52.8 once..... then took it too hard and got a little loose going downhill. my ghost flipped me off as he passed by me with ease.... sigh.
 
Well, this has been fun, I'm pretty tired of running it, don't know about T3, I assume it's on par, but hope for the best. At this point I'm having to hard a time catching after T2, I don't forsee nailing a T3 after gaining any significant amount in T2.
Good Luck all 👍

I should make sure I guess, can we can all tell the difference in sound between rumbles and wall contact? Or is that a "hot debate" of some type? I know I don't have wall contact, but I did find rumble strips twice that are only about 6 inches wide.

Both are what I consider perfect corners. ;)

I would figure out if there are invisiwalls there if I were you...........
 
I know there wasn't wall contact in the first place, but I guess it can't hurt to look for invisi-walls.
 
New best splits for today:

T1: 13.790
T2: 40.234

This one is driving me mad. I've seen a 53.7 a couple times, but then I give it back up in the last sector. I know I've got another half second at the line in me if I can just put it all together.
 
First splits for the week
13.613
39.682
Had faster T2's but at least this one is clean.
Good fun 👍
 
15 laps this morning yielded new splits.

T1: 13.525
T2: 38.981

Have seen more and more .4 at split 1 so hopefully more time to come

Been running quick recently, switched to CSLACR's gearing (Hey look! Someone got your name right!)

I lost a tenth at the start of T2 - did not get a great exit in the run up to the long right-hand sweeper, but made up for it with nice exits to the next two turns - the left right was ok, 7/10 perhaps and I finished fairly well - a close-ish call on the penultimate turn, I JUST clipped the thin rumble area but on closer inspection it was literally an inch onto them and I did not get near to the curb. I doubted it at first but once I'd seen it/paused it twice round I was certain it's submittable.

I can go faster than this but it'll take a lot of patience now. Saw a 13.59x and I've also been a good tenth up on my ghost at the start of T2, but in the laps after this best one yet I noticed that I was getting absolutely slaughtered in the last half of the lap....

13.700
39.439

I think this setup is now PERFECT for the DS3 (Gearing is all CSLACR's work, suspension may also be mostly if not all)

BB 6/4

Aero: Max/Max
Transmission/Gearing: 3.007 / 2.067 / 1.570 / 1.290 / 1.055 / 0.882 (4.062)
LSD: 20/50/15
Suspension: 10/-15, 14.5/14.5, 10/10, 6/6, 5/5 - Camber 2.6/1.5 - Toe -0.05/0.20
TCS 1, ABS 1, Controller sensitivity 1, Active Steering Strong

Key thing for pad is stronger accel setting on LSD.

Matt

Edit: Woo, 14th on splits - nice! Also noticed a dead heat for 2nd place - very nice!

Submitting with these

Not my best T2 but I'm pleased with the overall result.
 
Going to have another session this afternoon before the F1, I know I can get at least .2xx more in T2, then that's pretty much my limit with this combo.
 
Got Platinum on my main account :D so I'm gonna be able to give all my racingtime to the WRS' 👍
 
T1: 13.906
T2: 41.016

Switched to Chris' gear and suspension settings. 👍

Much better T1 and MPB [let me spell that out..;).."my" "personal" "best,"] T3!! A lot of time left on the track in T2. I may have to adjust some suspension settings back to those RKM settings I have originally been using from the get-go, just to suit my :crazy: driving.

Chris, your last splits...👍, alien territory!! Can't wait to see what Dan comes up with.
 
Been a bit busy since 1.10 was released. (Collecting helmets/suits:P) Anyway, here are my lastest splits.

If I have time, I will give it 1 more go tomorrow. If not, submitting with splits on the board.

T1: 13.697
T2: 39.412

Nice splits Mignun - I think there will be a Le Mans style close finish in D2 from 2nd to 7th! :)

New splits...

Nice splits Matt - I've got nothing for you to T2. The fastest I've run to that point is a 53.179 but it was with a small touch. I'm happy with my lap so am submitting as is and will go and have fun with the new seasonals.

Catch you (metaphorically) next week :cheers:

PS. That Audi R15 is epic through the Porsche curves...

Thanks for the comments :cheers:

As for T3, Its he who can hold the most speed through to T3.
