Finally got a good clean complete lap.

24.447
28.146

Still.more time in T1 but I don't know if I'll get.more time to try.
 
Nice step forward Jonas, ya bugger :sly:

I think if I get a perfect lap I could knock another 0.2 off.

Haha, yeah that's always the way it ends for me mate. :P Those ever elusive 2 tenths haunt me every week.

Miniscule improvement in splits for me but managed it with a better run to the line this time.

24.190
27.981

Still looking for 2 tenths :dopey:

If anyone is running my setup, change LSD to 5/11/11 - seems to help with turn in and holding a line with trailing throttle and less inclination to power-oversteer on exit.
 
Up a little at the line , PB in T1 but .5 off my best T2 but a really good T3 made the difference.

T1 - 24.683
T2 - 28.630
 
I'm betting the farm that you are correct in that the 4" of tarmac between the white line and the "GreenMac / fake cyber grass" after the red N white rumbles of the last turn are fair game, I'm running the strip there also and have looked at it every which way what so ever and it is tarmac there, so it should be allowable. IMHO

Thanks for the reply Lefty but what I ment was when the grass ends there is more tarmac. The solid white line then to the right of that there is just tarmac then the wall. We can have all 4 wheels on that?
 
I'm gonna submit with these splits, I'm seeing some amazing times in D3 again.
And Tim, I don't think your time in D3 will last long if you keep it up like this 👍

:lol:

Think everyone is using your setup!

Dammit! :sly:

Another step forward...

24.136
28.021

Up 0.13 at the line with my fastest 3rd sector so far.... but still looking for a tenth and a half based on my best 1st and 2nd sectors. Pretty pleased with the lap though - banker lap v2. :)

It is tarmac not cobbles so yes, its legal. I've been running 4 wheels on there all week. 👍
 
Still breaking in the car's engine , now at 371 BHP / splits:

24.398
28.198

I tested your settings Chris and couldn't really drive it with my gears.
The more I substituted your settings with my original settings , the faster I got.
We most likely have different driving style and car tuning preferences. :sly:
I for one don't like to have any rear roll bars/stabilizers , so I allways set it to 1 .

The splits above were done with same rear ride height and LSD settings as in Chris's original setup.

There is at least 0.350 seconds left on the track for me to get.

Never tried setting the anti-roll really low Pekka... might have to give it a try - I'm always open to testing new setups. 👍

I set my LSD to 5/12/11 now and just had a near magic lap.. damned close to the wire on the last bend and I'll have to give it a few hundred coats of looking at but I'm not sure I'll get close to this again:

24.045
27.797


Lost a tenth off my best in sector 3 but gained 0.2 at the line. This is most definitely my limit.... :crazy:

This baby just rotates so sweet through the turns 👍
 
Spec 2 has brought me back, at least for this week! This is a fun combo. Thanks to Chris for the tune.

24.725
28.660

I think my run looks great except for one corner I might have saved 0.2, so I don't know where I'm losing all this time. :/
 
25.373
28.774

Total lap time improved, but my T1 keeps going up! :ouch:
 
Great jump in time Chris, well done:tup:

T1- 24.039
T2- 27.793

Found one of those 2 tenths I was looking for, don't think I can be bothered trying to find the other one!
 
Fantastic splits guys!

Has anyone tried AS on/off? I can't find any difference in lap times, or really even in handling... The only thing I've noticed is that with AS off you can sometimes get a freaky spin coming on to the start/finish straight if you hit the outside curb just so. With AS on strong it never happens.

I haven't been able to match my T2 today but I've been slightly ahead at the line on very slightly dirty laps, so I've set my goal to cut 1 tenth off my overall time before hockey practice tonight. I have an idea on Chris' overall time and I don't think I'll be able to catch that but I'll give it a good effort...

Persistence over talent I guess... Soooooo close to getting under 52 at T2 a few times, but a PB in T3 on this chopped 2 tenths so I reached my goal. Just going to check and double-check the replay so I can submit a banker lap.

24.236
27.882

Thanks Rutter :cheers: Unfortunately it is a dirty lap... and not where I thought. The last corner is clean by a whisker but I put all 4 wheels off on the concrete in the first tunnel and didn't even notice during the lap. Pretty obvious on the replay though. :dunce: Can't believe I threw it away like that without even noticing. :ouch:

My next fastest lap is 2 tenths down but now I know I can go that fast, I'll be obsessively chasing it 'til the deadline. :dopey:

Back to previous splits:

24.136
28.021
 
Got tired of chasing my ghost round with my old tune, and I couldn't get on with Vagabond's so I tried messing around with the gearing and totally marmelised my previous best.

I set the Max Speed to 180kph (minimum value) and reduced the Final Gear to 3.095, leaving my gears like this...

1st 4.092
2nd 2.984
3rd 2.285
4th 1.825
5th 1.519
6th 1.320
Final 3.095
Max Speed 180km/h

Suspension
5/-10
15.6/11.8
8/5
8/5
5/3
1.0/1.4
0.00/0.10

LSD
10/40/20

Downforce

My new splits are:
T1: 24.799
T2: 28.410

Cheers

Don't check replay, I found a mistake on my 20th view. Sorry!

T1: 26.243

Thanks for posting your tunes! I got a little faster, will try to put some more time on this, but will probably be submitting with these splits.

T1: 24.980
T2: 28.686
 
I will probably stay at the bottom of Division 1, I struggle to get anywhere near you guys, but there is still a day left.
 
Wow what a difference a tune suited to me makes. Thanks for posting guys! I tried all of them.

24.854
28.592
 
With 3 diferent saveable setups for each car I was wondering if a D4 bloke might take a try at my setup I posted, what ya got ta lose. It's like having a sponsor :lol:

Link to my setup, pick the quote bubble

Just wondering what ya think :)

Still a decent step forwards Joao 👍

I might give your setup a try tomorrow Lefty. I realise you asked for someone in a lower division but I can 'destruction' test it, as it were :)

Miniscule step forward for me:

24.170
27.934

Up a whopping 0.021 at the line :dopey:

Today I've seen lots of 24.0s and 1x 23.992 in sector 1... and several 27.7s and .8s.... never together in the same lap and never with anything like my best 3rd sector. I'll have one last hour or so tomorrow before the deadline but this may be it for me unless I can improve my consistency a lot.

Good luck all 👍
