FR sent to both of your accounts Plato.
Thanks to the other guys for the tips too, don't usually beg for help but this one is killing me!!
Would be nice to get a few GTPers on the friend list to race with occasionally also.

Updated splits
T1: 18.441
T2: 22.553
Found slight improvement in stability by adjusting brake bias from 7/5 for turn 1 to 7/2 for the double left and back to 7/5 for the final turn, also found adjusting torque split from 50/50 for the double left and 40/60 for the rest of the track, although unable to switch both torque split and BB between turns.

After 10 laps I am done.
Horrible T1 and T3 but amazing T2.
Can't be bothered anymore, I'm submitting.
T1: 18.804
T2: 22.303
because I could've done at least 0.5 better.
I don't know if I'll have time tomorrow...
Anyways, I'll submit (even though I did horrible).

I've heard of people that velcro the DS3 to the center of the wheel, I haven't personaly tried it yet but its a thought.
I mapped mine with a soldering iron
Works a treat 👍Just having a quick read of the posts before I jump into my first session. Reading all of the tips to catch up to you guys this week.

Finally got some time to revisit this one.
I must be honest, I haven't a clue how anyone is running consistent laps.
If I finish one lap in 40 attempts, it's agood outing miracle.
T1 is not the problem, as ~.500 is normal, but T2? I'm lucky if I've made it through 5 times all week
Is anyone using ABS (always 1 for me) or ASM, or well, anything for that matter that can keep the car inline for more than 20 feet under braking?
Really lost on this one.
From my 1 lucky (and only clean) lap.

50/50. 7/5 bb, ABS 1

Not sure I ever used ASM before, you aren't kidding, it really slows the car down.
You can tune the brake balance using the in race (RA) adjustments. 50/50 means 50% Front / 50% Rear Torque distribution for 4wd cars, and the 7/5 'bb" means brake balance. 👍
From OP:
Showin' off to the new guys eh?
Great splits Tim 👍

I wouldn't say I haven't enjoyed this week, I've been quite consistant, just consistantly slow thats all!!
Not actually had too many laps written off so I'm beginning to wonder if I'm not pushing hard enough, very slightly improved splits from last night, may have to submit with these:
T1: 18.547
T2: 22.395
Can I ask how much time you guys have given this weeks combo? I've managed about three and a half maybe four hours max but honestly can't see my times falling by throwing more time at it.

Jeez, Marc and Jon passed me up, and Tim moved farther into the sunset.
Nice times, dudes. 👍
Luckily I switched back to the wheel and did a little better myself. I think I might have come close to matching Tim's sweet T2 on a dirty lap, so I look forward to MOAR...later.

Fwiw Im using 6/2 BB, 50/50, Abs 1, tcs 0 & Strong active steering with the pad. Its still tough to go fast without skidding and lighting up them tyres... I found I was a tenth faster in t2 all the time with As on. Sector one and three it makes no difference.

My first splits I posted was with AS on as at first I thought the car was hard to control in T2, this wasn't the case though, I was braking to late for the double left and that was the reason I was sliding. My latest run was with AS off and because I had found the braking point for that turn, there was not much difference between having it on or off.
The only difference I found to have it's advantages was the turn in response, the cars a bit looser which in my opinion makes the double left a bit easier if you're smooth on turn in 👍

Thanks Lucas 👍
Not sure I could do that again, almost tore the wheel off the stand I was holding it so tight in T2
. Then I blew T3 because I'm not used to getting there cleanly (or at all ).Switched back to the wheel? I was going to switch to a DS3 due to suggestions earlier in the thread.
Press on...
Edit- had to google "MOAR"
