Hail, Jon! :cheers: This is a fun combo for sure, and I can see spending some time on it! I don't know much I would benefit, though. I know what line I want to take, and that tunnel and I have a long history.!!! :crazy:
 
when you say some time, what do you mean :dunce::scared:

He means ENOUGH

I just can't figure out how to handle that first long lefthander. If i could just find .2xx in T1, this could turnout a nice week for me. Although there are enough days left this week. :rolleyes:

Is there somebody the could talk me through T1.


New Splits

25.014
20.707
 
New worse splits! :lol:

24.962
20.770

First turn - Go in faster then possible - get lucky. That's my recipe atm.:dopey:
 
Same here, I was keep doing 25.2, but once I did 25.0, thought I was slower too :crazy:
 
I haven't had better than 25.1xx so not really that qualified, but I thunder up to it, then downshift one gear with a slight brake, turn hard and make it skid a bit, try to miss the curb on the left by about 1CM and then understeer out wide to the outer curb, brake really rather hard to get the next apex and then desperately try not to understeer onto the grass. It's really very difficult, but not as difficult as the next two turns.

Are you guys using the massive curb in the tunnel as a "bat stop"? I've managed to whack the curb a few times, not hit the wall and be doing about 85mph, which seems ridiculous as you go thundering towards it.

I think the key to the tight right out of the tunnel is to late apex it, you need to stay right otherwise you can't take the left fast enough OR you'll dirty the lap by doing what Kevin has illustrated that you must not do with the picture in the OP. If you lift or have to brake you'll ruin the speed up the hill and have a bad T2. Saw 24.8s just before I saved my fastest lap which turned out to be dirty on replay, then after that I blew a 45.9xx - giving up til tomorrow (or later, depending on how determined I feel :D)

My only other tip is to brake late - very late - for the final turn, shift right up into 2nd and this thing engine-brakes like hell, it can make you nail the apex easier and from higher entry speed, or it does for me....

Min corner speeds:
1.) 111
2.) 76
3.) 83 (ignoring slight right before left into tunnel)
4.) 46
(... flat out down to last turn)

* Disclaimer - this advice may contain traces of amateurishness.

Edit: Had to have another go :)

25.137
20.827

Getting there.... not the best last turn though.

Long time no see, but great combination of some free time and a good car.

25.598
21.514

25 laps in, _every_ lap was faster than the one before. Outside world is forcing me to stop now, I really would like to see how long I can continue this.
 
26.252
20.963

Slowly getting the hang of it, I think...

EDIT: 6 D3's on the board, all within ~0.2s!

Outstanding D2 presence this week, and we still haven't seen Lucas or Marc.

Going to be a challenge just to get a decent placing never mind a podium.

Is wk44 official yet - can we at least get Joao promoted :lol:
 
I've found that I'm faster when I'm fresh. I usually run considerably faster in the morning compared to sloppy laps in the afternoon. Here are my splits from a 20 minute run earlier.

T1: 26.080
T2: 22.207

:lol: I'm working on "those" (getting some GVE-Rev laps in and making past weeks official). I noticed the D2 overload as well, and this week looks like a ton o' fun! 👍

------------------
EDIT: First DS3 splits. Hope to do better tomorrow w/ the wheel. Especially need to fix the last turn, where I lost a couple tenths.

first splits.

25.399

I got under 25 once at T1 and I dont have a clue how I did yet cause I fluffed another corner and got a red time so I couldnt even save it.

I've got a couple of hours before the Missus gets up. I'm going to go see if I can catch Carlos!! ( :cheers: Jon!)
 
Good luck Chuk. I just ran another 30 minute session. Managed to squeeze another 0.008 out of the lap, but with a marginally worse time to T2. Did see a couple of sub 25 second runs to T1 but on both occasions I went too deep at the following hairpin :dunce:!

Reckon that there's 0.25 max left in the lap for me and hopefully I'll get the chance to find them.

:cheers:
 
Slower splits

25.366(with 2 wheels on the sand :()
20.955

but magical T3, top quality :P
 
New splits to break the tie for position, and JUST barely nudge me in front of Jon!! :dopey:
T1: 25.077
T2: 20.942

I'm using the entire red-line with this car. A little extra speed there.

Racing On!
 
This is way more challenging than i originally thought, has taken an hour to match my original time and a little more to beat it.

25.297
21.717


25.466
21.306

I am in awe of the times a lot of you are doing.
 
No improvements on the board today, but it's crazy with top 4 D2 in one tenth, and CSL between us. I saw a 45.78x today, but with a not that good T3. Also have a 45.6x, but went with 4 tyres off on the left hander after the tunnel :grumpy:

Will try again tomorrow :)
 
I'm getting a little bit faster, but I'm still coming in too hot for turns 1 & 2, not hitting my apexes.

T1: 26.098
T2: 21.761
