First splits with the wheel (new best lap included, and new best cumulative too!):
14.922
17.134
10.172
The other 2 laps were crap, so this ain't as good as it looks. 👎
This was using BB 0/6, ABS 1.
This combo is so fun, it's great to see all the D3'ers climbing the ladder! 👍

Try the Lightning Blue car. It's the fastest.
Awaiting someone to refute this by saying British Racing Green is obviously the fastest...
Ummm.....
No, British Racing Green is! Instantly adds 10 horsepower.
Wait maybe the lightning blue adds 20 horsepower since I've been passed by fellow D3-ers on the leaderboard.

Jon... You know you can ask for a demotion and (re)join our rocking D3 ranks...Right?
Just kidding...
Let's just mark this space and time, I've never been within a tenth of Carlos Fandango! Till now!
P.S. Where's Chuk, dangit! This is one of those combo's that he'd KILL!

Going to take a hit on the leader board for improved consistency and a better overall time:
T1: 15.091
T2: 17.156
T3: 10.117
Gravitron/teecro -- I switched approach to turn 2, no longer downshifting into 2nd as you guys mentioned, and it definitely helps... Usually I lose a bit on T1 compared to a downshift, but make up for it with more momentum heading into T2. The one time I got out of T1 with a 14.99X with the new approach I ended up running a 42.26x lap which is my personal best. Need to get that time into one of my 3 hot laps tomorrow.

Might be my last run [but you never know.
] since my overall decreased again.
I finally located the short in my G27 wire and fixed it....but I'm not gonna tell the wife since she said, "get a new wheel."

Same here, Tim, and my best-lap splits are soooo close to yours!
A good tenth-and-a-half better overall.
15.017
17.175
10.110
I think I'm done and am headed to Fuji. Good luck everyone, it's going to be interesting!
EDIT: Didn't see WRP's latest splits, so maybe I'm not done yet... HMMM.
I think I'm getting pains in my arms from doing the same turns over and over and over. Fuji waits.

You are not kidding. My little secret is that the idea for this combo was not entirely original.

Chuk went absolutely ape**** with that one, enjoy the read.

Thanks for posting, Kevin. I have often wanted to drift around the archives but just don't have the time. Thanks for pointing out some of your "back to the future" mind-travel experiences.
I knew there was some thread vociferous action missing from the combos of late.
Wish I had time to peruse all the posts, but I did get some Chuk-les from reading some of them.
Besides both being in the U.S. Eastern time zone, I also have something else in common with Chuk.....
Reserve in the mini bar.
Submitting times posted! May everybody's position dreams come true!

Didn't get much chance to run over the weekend, but just had a quick go now and I think it's going to take me a while to get into the zone I was in on Friday night. As a consequence, I think I'm going to call it quits there. Am very happy with my first and second laps, but my third is poor so I expect to drop down the leaderboard in 24hrs time when the results are published.
Good luck to those still running
