We'll look into it.

Thanks, all that is needed is a name change from mattymc96 to Matty. 👍
 
Sent my times to fetchy and it replied that I am not a registered driver. I used to be mattymc96 until I changed my name when I got premium. My GTP_ PSN ID is GTP_Matthew.

GTP_Matthew / MattyMc96 / Ireland (3.406 / 3.528)

New splits:

T1: 28.301
T2: 46.181

We'll look into it.

Fixed.

You're on the board now. :)
 
Bad T1. Had a 27.6 once, but clipped the wall going up the hill. 27s seem to be my average. My T2 is fairly constant. I think I nailed the T3, felt pretty good going through it.

27.957
46.375
 
Aaaaaargh! This combo is getting to me.... :crazy: I know what I want the car to do but it won't do it... at least not for a whole lap. Maybe its my hands and feet that won't do as they're told... and I suppose shutting my eyes as I go through Nouveau Chicane doesn't help either. :P

27.386
45.210

Identical 1st sector so some consistency there. :dopey: Swapped my 2nd sector for a better 3rd sector and up a whopping 0.013 at the line. Seen a couple of 44.9s in sector 2 now but it feels more like the car is driving itself than I am and I only seem to pull them off after a crap 1st sector. 27.3s are my best 1st sector and my 3rd sector on this lap is close to my best so in theory I'm looking for about 2 or 3 tenths on the lap. In reality, I reckon that's me done. :boggled:

Oh yeah... I ended up driving Kev's full tune too, nose to the sky and all... :sly: (Thanks Kev)👍

Good luck guys. Madness awaits you on this quest. :cheers:
 
Getting there. I've seen some mid 4s in t1 and there's a tenth in t2 yet, so I might be able to get another .15 or so.

27.524
45.618
 
I am unable to catch my ghost! I don't know if it was the update or just my gold lap! I would like to think it was the latter!

T1 27.550
T2 45.472

Tough combo. You know it is when most of D2 is more than 1 second behind on the splits board.

Lefty often gets into "the 1 second club" its a major goal of his and its a major goal of mine this week as well.

Not sure if I made it in just barely or not with these splits. Hope so.:)
 
Had another go after watching the f1 qualifying. Cut out a piece of card to cover up the splits on my screen, and turned the ghost and track map off - to try and minimise distraction and just focus on the lap.

T1 27.461
T2 46.102

Half a second off my best through t2, so some more time to find there. Happy with t1 and t3, will have another go tonight.
 
Lost some time in the hairpin, and t3 is not so good, but still my best lap.

27.483
45.539

Edit: Jack, looks like our t3's will decide it at this point, in which case I would guess you have the advantage.
 
Nice to see folks still running this combo even though its a headbanger 👍 Anyone interested in running it for an online race, there are plenty of spots left for both time slots in WRS Online's 3D3: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=253926

Another small step for me... fast 1st and 2nd sectors still reluctant to be seen together in the same lap though:

27.492 (slowest for a while - seen a few 27.2s today)
45.003

OK 3rd sector puts me up just over a tenth at the line. Best sectors say I'm looking for 0.3 still. I'll be happy with another tenth.

Actually I'm happy with what I have now since its 0.2 better than I thought I'd get a few days ago. Still running anyway though.
 
It's a tough but very fun combo. I theoretically have about .3 left, but I'll probably be lucky to see any of it.

Wish I could fit the Wednesday races in, but my schedule is completely unpredictable during the week.

Yeah thats crazy tied to the T2 checkpoint at this point. BTW welcome to the club.

However it aint over until its over.

Neither of us has run our lowest OT, not yet. Good luck to you Im sure we both now might have the same goal and I hope we accomplish it. I want it more than the D2 win.

Ill say what it is after I do it. haha

Good luck to you my friend. I don't think I have much chance at the d2 win this week but it won't be for lack of trying. Put in more time this week than I have in a while.
 
Some updated ones for me. Seems I'm losing a lot in the second sector, will have to try and find some of that.

Almost impossible to pull a clean lap with the DS3 with this combo.
28.219
46.842

Figures, try for an hour to get times above, take a 5min break and pick up .3 seconds.

Really bad t1, really good (for me) t2, and absolutely stupid t3. Beat my previous posted lap by .28.

I'm sure I'll run some more because this is incredibly addicting, but I'm submitting this lap because I don't expect to come close to that t3 again.

27.637
45.404
 
So close to hitting my target time. But that last hairpin I lost so much time :irked:

But, .1xx up at the line, so can't complain to much.

46.241
 
Dropping down the LB by 0.2, but T3 was good enough for *almost* that much at the line. :) Not sure I can run this one anymore. :ill: Best sectors taunting me with 0.4 unfound is a bit annoying though.

27.840
45.717
 
ALMOST a perfect lap, but completely avoided the apex on the right hand corner (Portier) as if it had the plague:ouch:, comprimising my run through the tunnel down to the Nouvelle Chicane.

There is still .15 left, and I will probably look for it tomorrow. It's a good thing this is over tomorrow because I can't seem to stop on my own.

.07 quicker at the line.
 
Well I tried! Put in about 400 KM's tonight and could not come with in 1 second of my PB. So that's it for me! On to the next TT!

Getting consistent through t1, but my second sector is not improving on my quick laps.

T1 27.451
T2 46.132

T3 was ok, I was on a faster lap (0.4 up by the end of t2) but was too greedy and opened the throttle too early and threw it into the barrier at the second to last corner.

Will have one final go at this tonight.
