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!

Maybe I shouldn't have picked up those anvils on the buy 2 get 1 free offer...
 
The final sector here is probably the most important of all, if you can hit the sweet spot through the chicane and keep your speed ~70mph or above, you'll probably shave half a second off your average lap with the same T2 split. Being busy today I'll probably have one last chance to get that magic lap in tomorrow.
 
Three days without any chance to play :banghead:
I hear you! Stuck in the same boat as you at the moment. I'd love to get a 36.6/36.7 T2 but it looks like I won't have any time til the deadline.
 
I have found the perfect line and entry speed into the final section. Now it's just the small matter of actually doing it.
 
Kev can tell you one thing. No way you can do normal groceries with this car. I own this car and can only put some beers in the back
 
Submitting with the splits I have on the board, I can't beat my lap even with a 0.15 lead into the last sector.
 
Submitted my time

T1: 21.545
T2: 37.113

Good to be back at the WRS,
 
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:

Have been faster but at least this is clean

T1: 21.338
T2: 36.485

That T2 time leaves alot of room for a massive T3 choke.
You now have the lowest sector 2 time on the board.👍👍(2 thumbs up:))
 
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.

I'm hoping!
Nice to see you bounced back following your replay mishap 👍

Off to give it another shot :)

Thanks Jack, first time i see my time in red on the leaderboard, little strange in fact :scared: even checked tyres and the rest
 
Struggled all week to beat my time, then beat it on lap 2 of this session :odd:

T1 21.140
T2 36.639

Only just beat my time with this after loosing a tenth and a half on my best T3 :grumpy: It's a start though I suppose

Edit: Usual Suspect, did you have KERS available for that T2 :lol: awesome split through there, great job 👍

Got the overall improvement I was looking for but a couple of tenths off my best T1.

21.585
36.848
 
Splits from my submitted lap -

21.445
37.167

Will have to hope my T3 props me up.
 
I spent a couple more hours shopping, and beat my time at the line by .014, but didn't like how many times I had to get out the camera to stare at wheels on rumbles. I'll go with the slower/cleaner time. 👍

Plus it's time to move on to Monaco! :cheers:

Good luck to those who are still shoppin'!
 
Can't help thinking im losing abit from BB, geting a high .5 T2 seems to have to be a near perfect sector even though i seem to be nailing every single corner, after i will just keep messing up because im trying to get more but theres nothing to get so to speak, also seems to be difficult to get under .150 T1 now.... were as stock BB i was cracking .050-110 T1, maybe ive just made it worth with the BB, seem to be driving better but im slower, any help with BB please guys?

From my sessions the times have been done with Stock BB, I have tried a few different settings and found little difference, so have just stuck with default.

Same here, I don't find it helps to change it either. It's all in the head :sly:
 
Almost the same time I didn't posted Wednesday, with a slower T3 :(

T1: 21.228
T2: 36.790

ABS:0 It was my first experience without electronic aid, and this FF handles a lot better without.

Good luck, mates. It has been a great battle 👍
 
Had another 45 minutes and managed a decent time I guess:

21.250
36.830

Edit: I just realized top 6 D3 are separated by only .150... Awesome racing as usual guys 👍

I did the same, BB 5/1, ABS 0.

Light touch with the pedal with occasional lockup works out OK. :)

Not sure how that's going to work out online. :scared:
 
I want to get started on the new WRS TT but I want to go lower still in the Grocery Getter first. :)

T1: 21.343
T2: 36.638
 
Been mad busy this week.. university n tingz... just got in a session tonight. Maybe will run one more before the deadline tomorrow.

21.509
36.978

Submitted last night's time. I may have another go tonight but, to be honest, I don't think I'll improve. T2 and T3 are so much better than my previous best that I don't think I'll better them.

Cheers

Wasn't able to find the time to have a final crack at this combo, so I'm submitting with my current splits on the board.

Good luck to all. 👍
 
Sorry, but I don't want to submit my current splits and I don't have anymore time. I hope to be driving with the wheel again next month (but could also take longer, it depends).

I will stick to online racing until then.:)
