Think I'm at my limit here

21.497
36.892

Maybe there's a tenth or 2 somewhere.
 
T1: 21.424
T2: 36.773

Both sections feel slow. I know I can shave more time just not sure how much.

new splits ,had better T1 and worse T2 then better T1&T2 with bad T3
now have a great lap but T1&T2 down by 2 tenths each.
T1.21.712
T2.37.269

might get another go if work and racing allow:)
 
Having a tiny streak of misfortune. Yesterday when I beat my best saved OT I forgot to save my ghost replay before rushing out of arcade mode to watch it in the replay theater.

Today when i beat my best saved OT I said to myself,"make sure you save your replay this time". I did. I saved the replay.




I didnt save the ghost replay.

:dunce::dunce::dunce::dunce::dunce:
 
That's a bummer man. I also forgot to save mine a few days ago, glad it wasn't the fastest I've driven.

Its kinda more funny than a bummer is why I shared it. If it really bummed me out I probably wouldnt mention it. hahaha

Altho Im ultra close to my practical limit I have to believe I can go lower and clean than either one of those laps. My best sector times clean say I can anyhow.

Now would be a great time for the good luck to kick in.:)
 
I am trying to submit my final time, in the subject line I am putting:

GTP_WRS week 32 submission

But I get a error message, "invalid subject". This is my first official WRS since the qualifier so I am not sure what I am doing wrong, help please lol.

It needs to read like this:

post #1
GTP_WRS Week 32 Submission

Exactly like that.
You can copy it from the first post or from this post.
It is necessary to use capital letters and have no extra "space" at the end of that subject text.

I can see improvements in sector 1 and minor improvements in sector 2, but everytime I am ahead of my ghost by the T2 splits I am over half a second down at the line. I absolutely nailed T3. The thing is, I went wide on the exit to the left hander in T1, so i'll not even bother posting the splits to the board as it is dirty (21.255, 36.692 respectively). It's crazy, an effort over half a second faster than any other attempt and it's dirty :ouch: The gains weren't where I went off the track though, it's gutting.

Had a 50 lap session. I'm lapping very consistently within a range of two tenths. The only problem is, my best lap this session was 3 tenths slower than my best lap described above. All I want to do is match it then i'm ready to submit :(

I know i'm losing 0.150 in T1 and 0.100 in T2 at my best, so I doubt i'll be in a podium position, but my current best (clean) lap is well over half a second away from my target time (Usually my target times are too high. This time, I think it's probably lower than is actually possible.
 
Knocked .4 off my time at the line, and celebrated by going grocery shopping. For real.
Hope this doesn't ruin your weekend, jimantonic. :lol: I finally saw a 21.3xx in T1, but lost my cookies on that run.

36.773 👍

What the heck are you guys doing in T2 to see 37.8's and lower :confused:
:bowdown:

I still miss the apex in the last turn in T3 everytime (I think).

21.327
36.957
 
For some reason I rocketed out of the 270 roundabout on that lap, I think that's where I got the most gain, vs my previous splits of 37.09x for T2. Can't really explain it, but I think there's some elusive magic to getting back on the gas in 2nd gear with the wheels still turned. I almost switched to 3rd-person view so I could tell how much smoke I was making, but I hate driving like that. I think Jack mentioned something similar earlier, about randomly rocketing out of certain corners...

BTW, my T3 had one horrible corner in it, so I'll still be shooting for better. 👍

EDIT: Why am I telling you? You just jumped in front of me! :mad::lol:

Well I was hoping for some friendly advice before you noticed that ;)

I am taking the rounabout wide, and exiting faster than before, but I think it's the downhill/uphill right, and the hairpin that follows that is messing me up.
Time will tell...
 
Yeah, that one's super awkward. I follow the driving line's suggestion for braking there, while downshifting to 2nd, and try to have my left wheels bouncing off the left rumbles as I'm heading up the hill. I stay in 2nd all the way around the left hairpin at the top.

Using BB 0/3 & ABS 1 for that lap.
 
T1: 21.354
T2: 36.709

This OT is faster than the two laps I didnt get saved.👍

I was using 5/6 BB but now Im using 3/7

I still do sometimes come out of some corners with what looks like a little extra boost for no good reason. I still dont understand and I have run tons of laps in this car.

You're rubbing off on me it would seem.
I just set what I would consider a "magical lap", and rushed over to the replay theater to watch a replay I forgot to save ...:(
:banghead:

Went back in total denial "No,no,no, it will let me save it, if I just go back..." and of course I couldn't.
Eventually improved a bit, but I can't see me running that lap again. dumb, dumb, dumb.

21.462
36.821

EDIT- I didn't even realise I only beat my previous best splits by .001 :lol:
Shaved .2xx off my best lap though, so it works for me. 👍

I think you might have a gift like I do of being capable of going ever lower. Im thinking you can and will beat your lap time you accidentally didnt save.

Just try to beat it and know you can.

Damm you Gravitron, damm you :grumpy: :sly:
I somehow knew you'd get up there, but to be fair I only had a single one hour session at this so wasn't really expecting a D3 win, just hope I performed some kind of magic T3 to bag me a podium this week!!
Good job from the rest of the D3 guys also, its looking like a very close finish in our division 👍
 
If we had to compare times after one hour, you win, Jim. Usually takes me a while. :dunce: Today I asked the kids to kindly step out of the vehicle, and then I removed a huge amount of candy that they were hording, hence the better time. 👍 TOOK FOREVER!
 
I see you're a tenth away like the good old days again :P, I'm going to have another go and hopefully find that tenth or 2 I'm looking for.

Edit: submitting with these splits, can't seem to put the best of all sectors in one lap.

What a lap I just ran. :)👍
T1: 21.283
T2: 36.761

PB thru both T1 and T3. Gonna keep my BB a secret now. lol

I dont even know if I will move up the split board or not altho I got to T2 a hair quicker. At this point running a lower OT isnt easy to do, but I did and clean which is always a miracle it seems at this track.:)

Still trying, but everytime i see 57.8x i choke :grumpy::grumpy: and can´t get a decent T3 or if it is there is allways a wheel on the grass :crazy::crazy:

T2: 36.485
 
Haven't had chance to play in a few days, had quick goes on the SLS event but thats it, lost motivation may just submit with current time.
