Need more than a full second at T2 for a decent spot in Div4. First sector obviously very slow, second sector not so bad.

26.725
21.230

Will try to keep updating the board manually until Joost has used his magic wand again :D


*** Board updated ***
 
Aw, Jake, I feel bad for ya!!! Here, have a beer!

My best splits so far are 45.7xx, but I need a better final sector. As always, that tunnel and I have issues!! :banghead:
I'll see what I can do with it tomorrow. You seem tired, perhaps you should rest!!!

I don't think it's possible to have 3 wheels on there without touching the tunnelwall.
I would post a picture but it's possible..
And there goes my second fastest lap..
 
First go at this. Not finding it easy.

25.299
21.498

Edit: Mind you, looking at the leaderboard it's not that bad. :-)

Are you saying you don't even touch the white line with two wheels there?
 
I've done it. I'm not touching the wall, but all four tires are between the white line and the wall.

Slowly starting to get the first double left hander in check. Now all I need is to hit the entrance to the tunnel without slamming into the wall :dopey:

new splits

T1: 25.082
T2: 20.870
 
Is the rough patceh on the outside of the last turn the cobbles that was mentioned in the OP?

Edit: Nevermind. Just read page nine.

I had a 45.70 but ended up in the pickers on the last corner. Oh well, plenty of time left.

I'll try again this weekend.
 
Fetchy is at a Holiday party tonight, I'll manually force a board update shortly. ;)

One point I would like to make on the right hand side of the tunnel entrance. It MIGHT be possible to be up on there at race speed with all 4 without hitting the wall. But at the same time, the "vertically in line with the track" rule still applies. So if you are over tarmac with even part of 2 tires, it's clean.

Not sure that I would want to cut things that close for my fellow replay checkers, but it's something I want to make everyone aware of now.

Thanks for all the effort, day in and day out Kev.

In case anyone wants to try it, bb 1/8. Crazy
 
I settled on brake balance 2/4 in my first session.

Nice opener, Kev. 👍

I've been shifting at the max RPM, right before the limiter kicks in. This one from GT Life mode isn't all-the-way broken in yet, but should be close enough:

Great pick this week. :cheers:

Power band doesn't change with miles anyway.
Shifted at 72, 109, & 142mph in my first 2 sessions, hoping to give it a real proper go this weekend, if NFS: The Run isn't too awesome that is. :D
 
My 1st go at it! Not bad but way more improvement needed.

Maybe just a little bit? The arcade car tops at 8300 rpm, but the broken-in one in my garage is at 8500 iirc.

Looking forward to an NFS opinion, expecting absolutely nothing :D

I had been shifting at the red line, then i decided to try it just before the rev limiter and gained a bit over a car length on my ghost by the first corner.

new splits with small improvement all round
