Tiny improvement overall even with a slower T1 so updating my splits.

T1: 24.009
T2: 21.667
 
Quick question though, and I hope I am not out of line, but does anybody pull 6th gear before going into turn 1? And perhaps what's your top speed before you throw out the anchor?
Yes, I pull 6th gear before going into turn 1. Top speed around 262 km/h.

This should be your goal, just gives you a better base to build your laptimes on.

Me too. Didn't notice until tonight when I switched from auto to manual.
Then I drop down to 3rd for turns 2 -> 3, then WAIT until the front starts to bite. I can usually keep up with Ghosty until the hard-right turn 5, and I always look forward to the kink, because Ghosty had a slow kink turn :dopey:
 
I hit 6th gear on the 2nd last sign on the left just before entering into the slight left hander. :confused:? because I know I am :)

Great name Kev :lol:, Very clever 👍

Is there something I'm missing here :dunce:

Updated splits:
T1: 23.850
T2: 21.291

First sector could be better.
 
First 1.5 h session. Heavily smoking the tyres through the first right hander... ;) Don't think I can improve T1 & T2 much more.

T1: 24.004
T2: 21.394
 
Had a couple of runs at this one so far but kept having to check and double check replays to make sure I didn't hit any walls. The right turn before T2 always seems to be very close.

Here are my first splits that I am confident in posting.

T1: 24.293
T2: 21.828

Have seen .3 faster in T1 but can't get any consistency in the first right hander. Feels like I'm using more luck than skill for that corner. Will need to keep trying.
 
What is the kink?

It's the right hander at the bottom of the hill, after the back straight.
It's pretty much an all-or-nothing corner. My best lap ghost was slow
through there, so I always look forward to chucking it through there
and passing him.
 
Also known as the chicane by some. Key to that corner is getting on the power early without compromising grip, it may sound simple, but the corner is so crucial, there are no gift corners at Rome, after each corner you've got quite a significant amount of straight.
 
Am now using my DFGT all the time! A slight drop in times ~ 1 second at the moment. But have seen much better times on dirty laps! So here's my first splits from a DFGT!

T1: 24.307
T2: 21.782

👍
 
Nice Munch, after practice with a wheel. Times will start to drop fast :)
 
My T1 keeps getting slower but I'm faster everywhere else.

T1: 24.184
T2: 21.572
 
Another slight improvement with a bigger one in T3.

T1: 23.994
T2: 21.436

Nice! Takes a while to get used to but will be worth it in times and fun. 👍

definitly! It is much more enjoyable with a wheel! It's brought a whole new feeling and experience to the game. Almost as if it's a brand new game! 👍
 
After an hours trying and lots of wall hitting I managed these splits, Hoping to put in a better effort than the first two weeks.

T1: 24.098
T2: 21.618
 
T1: 24.292
t2: 21.664


T1:24.173
T2:21.576


T1:24.057
T2:21.682

First session for this weeks TT on Rome circuit which I like to ride. 👍
The car is not my favorite but i have to deal with that. :crazy:
The first corner is hard for me have still some understeer but the rest of the lap was good and away from the walls. :nervous:
Maybe to much room left between car and walls.

Splits:
T1: 24.869
T2: 21.722

T1 and T3 i have some time left.
 
Slightly better laptime:
T1: 23.869
T2: 21.232

Still not happy with T1 though.
 
23.994
21.672

Still slid into the green on the last corner, but I have a feeling I won't improve my lap from here. (Unless someone tells me that avoiding the green will save me a bunch of time, and then maybe I'll be forced to try more. :))

I don't want to be a pain, but yeah avoiding the green part is faster.:)
