I tried to duplicate the combo w/ my Alpha in the Practice area on the Eiger to try to run some continuous laps. I played w/ tire compounds until I got one that was close to this weeks combo, the only problem was that I couldn’t go any harder. That’s right the tires that we are using this week due to the standing start are ICE cold SH’s and for one lap they are rock hard and have less traction then the Comfort Hards……… lol

Found more speed with BB 1/7, achieving submitted split of:
34.055
20.733
Speed readings for T1: 52(2nd), 40(2nd), 61(2nd), 66(2nd) Generally 3/4 ished the throttle during the drifts.
For the sweeping right I started a pwerslide at 93km/h in 3rd (quick downshift to 2nd just before), speedo dropped down to 84km/h, found the line and exited with very good pace considering the wild start to the corner.
Fast right is a bit of a makeshift corner, there are many techniques you can employ, on this occasion I chose a high velocity exit requiring 85 percent throttle after apex (148km/h) but a fullthrottle drift dropping down to 145-147 is slightly more effective and achieves faster speed through the left kink.
Final corner is again a lottery, as everything relies on how well you get the car to hault (I brake from the sandy lie that jaggs out from the left just to increase entry angle, but braking form tarmac probably enable more grip, possibly. I downsiftr to second and start accelerating out in 3rd at around 78.

I don't use TCS, although it might be effective at the start I guess, dont have the ability to turn it off after that though as it won't be very effective after the start, but maybe it could work.

Did some laps with TCS, best t times was 34,2xx and 55,2xx.
But lost always the car after t2.

Some improvements.
T1: 34.256
T2: 20.848
Hard to get into a rythm when you cannot do more than one lap a once but still enjoyable combo though.

New Splits:
T1:0'35.057
T2:0'21.202
I ran a 34.85x but i suffered from the same surprise as vagabond, but instead of crashing I drove really really slow to make sure I made no mistakes.
i will conquer you sub 35 split!
T1: 0'34.924

Have been playing with launch options tonight, here's what I've found!
Full revs, TC at 1, launch off jump at 78mph
Full revs, TC at 10, launch off jump at 75mph
Full revs, TC at 5, launch off jump at 78mph.
Hold revs at 3-5000, TC at 1, launch off jump at 80mph.
Haven't tried with TC off enough to compare as just can't hold the car well enough through the rest off the lap to make it worth while! The MPH speeds are averages off 5 starts.
Oh, and my splits....

Sometimes you have to go backwards to go forwards. Sector 3 time is down, but man that first sector is a real tough one to crack!
