Using a dab of Hand Brake in first 'S' at T2 to get it turned, ABS 3 , BB 2/9. Probably submitt with these unless I fluke something in T2.

26.811
19.668
 
In D3, amazing that T13R and teecro with their DS3's are 4th & 5th! :bowdown:👍👍

I'm still going to be stuck with my DS3 for a bit longer.
I called my buddy to see if he shipped out the G27 and he told me that he decided to not get rid of it.:(
Now I'm waiting to get my money back and when that happens I will be ordering a wheel.:D
 
26.816
19.784

Mmmm. Just starting to get that T2. Well, maybe. Can we run this for another week?:lol:

What I like about this WRS:
*If you mess up early or fell behind your ghost, there was so little in it that you often had a chance to still post a best lap
*If you invalidated, it was only a minute to get back onto the next lap
 
T1 27.360
T2 19.913
A slower T2 by.1 but over .4 faster at the line.
I think this one has the better of me!
Done for the week I think!
Good Luck All !!!
 
T1: 26.799
T2: 19.731


The last few hundredths are going to kill me.

Finally got a lap I was hoping I could get at the beginning of the week.

T1: 26.784
T2: 19.692

Really enjoyed this combo. Maybe that's due to not having to deal with any tuning. Will most likely submit this lap tomorrow.

Sorry Gravitron but I'm not deserving of that mention :lol:. I got fed up with my DS3 and plugged in my DFGT Friday (for the first time in about a year) to see the difference and it's night and day for me.

IMO the wheel has an unfair advantage over DS3 this week. My first splits with the DS3 were 27.290, 19.716 and what I thought was a good T3 initially. I've managed faster T1 and T2 that rival the DFGT, but in the last sector I found a line that I can only do with the wheel that easily took off .25 off my best DS3 T3. Even though I only improved about .4 in T1 and T2 combined with the DFGT, my final time with the wheel compared to my previous best run is .85 seconds faster.

The other advantage I noticed was consistency. After a few laps I was able to run nearly identical times, lap after lap, and all of them were easily faster than my best DS3 lap.

It might be worth noting I use the D-Pad to steer and X,Square for gas and brake. Because of this I have a hard time setting up the RA menu also :lol:. Maybe others using the analog sticks have a better chance of competing with the wheel users.
 
52 now. ;)
On the leader board.:D
It's a nice thing to see, good to see unfamiliar faces coming in so much also.

Ah, gotcha! Yes I noticed that as well. Maybe even a few more as the new drivers realise that their qualifying submissions have been processed and that they are clear to compete and post splits.
 
T13R: OK, that makes more sense, and fits with our discussions earlier in the thread. 👍

Gonna hit this some more tonight, as I hate having a T1 in the 27's. Figured out how to go faster through T2 and T2 last night though, so it's a matter of TIME!

PS I love hearing that Sid is using a bit of handbrake entering the S's! Awesome! 👍:bowdown:
 
Gravitron, it's fine with me and my trusty DS3 if you don't get any more time and just go onto next weeks challenge. I like my place in the boards right now.:lol:
We always seem to be close every week, nice battles.👍

I was trying that too but it wasn't working for me so well. It did turn the car a bit better but when I floored the throttle again it had immediate understeer 👎
 
Well I had some time last night, and it looks like I have time tonight again, but I just don't seem to be "feelin it homes" so I should be keeping my run.
Good luck anyone still out there.
 
Still rolling.... looking for that elusive tenth.

Its usually 2 tenths I'm looking for at this point but its a short lap. :)
 
Submitted with these. Was not able to find the faster T1's again, but a faster lap overall with a great final sector.

26.866
19.619

Ditto - would like a tenth in T3 to complement my current split to T2. I've been faster to T2 five or six times but always clattered the barriers in the final corner or been too cautious. I think my current lap will give me a top 6 in D2, so looking for a shade more for solid podium contention.

Hoping to get some time tonight :cheers:

Submitting with these splits. I've been 7 hundredths faster at T2, and wish I had more time to try to put together that perfect lap, but this is it for me.
 
Submitted with current splits. Would have really liked to figure out T1, I guess I'll have to wait for the replays.

pretty easy really, right before you get to the corner..... close your eyes, brake heavily for just a second while cutting the wheel hard to the left, then stomp the accelerator making sure you stay about a foot away from the wall.... if your not scared your going to hit the wall you aren't pushing the car hard enough..... thats the way I take the corner.... well, except I do keep my eyes open even though it really doesn't matter...
 
New wheel splits. The fastest and best I have ever taken T1 or T2 with my wheel. 1 tenth lower at the line.

T1: 26.712
T2: 19.582

BTW I have taken T2 .002 faster with my DS3. hahahaha
 
My current/submitted lap splits:

26.715
19.621

Seen many .6's at sector1/T1 and a .244 at T2 .

Not sure why the bowdown since i'm not in the .5xx's but i'll take it Grav :D :cheers:

I was trying that in turn 2 as well, but just getting the same results as without it, so more work for the same result. But in T2 I was stuck in the 19.8xx/19.9xx region. Used the HB and instantly dropped to the .6xx/.7xx. Not the fastest T2 but looks nice :sly:

Glad I took the effort to wire up the middle two buttons on the G27 now :)

I had another run today and I think I am pretty much at my limit now, so I'm submitting with the following splits. :)

26.770
19.514
 
Thank God that week is over. :) Couldn't get to grips with it.

Submitted. Not with splits on the board though. I checked the lap a fair few times and I'm not sure if it's clean.

Good luck all.

Morning after edit: Looking for a top 5 finish and I'm not sure I've done enough with this one. It's my fastest T2 (give or take 4 thousandths) and my fastest T3, but the leaderboard is so tight around here that I'm not sure I can afford to give away the 6 hundredths in T1. Seems I have been moving a similar gap around the sectors all week :lol: Good luck to those still runnning!!

Found some time for a second session and improved a little in T1 but no gain so far in T2 (well, 5 thousands).

T1: 26.759
T2: 19.515


After what felt like 100 red laps, I found a little bit more!

T1: 26.728
T2: 19.489

Jut hope my T3 is right, fingers crossed. :)
