Time to try and redeem myself for flunking out of GT Academy and last week's WRS... :guilty:

14.628
43.647

About 0.2 to find in the last sector and maybe 0.05 in sector 1. Car choice took me 2 laps in each and I was sold. :sly:
 
Man, where am I going wrong in T2! Need at least another two-tenths. Probably some more time to find in T3 as well after some experimenting.

I suspect it is the long Turn 4.

Looks like the break did you good :cheers:.
 
I was going to take this week off after being so disappointed with my gta experience, but decided to take my aggression out on this week's car.

First Look at this combo, my splits say there's .25 left in the lap.

Tried the other car tonight. Big difference in handling character.

Here are my splits for tonight:

14.673
44.150

About a tenth better through the two sectors but overall close to 4 tenths at the line. Still a lot left out there. Might have to wait till the weekend to go get it.

Better, but worse, but better, if you know what I mean:

14.614
44.322

Even tho I took yet another tenth plus out of T3 im still assuming theres alot more time left in it.


14.633
44.032

Got another half tenth in T3. The sector that just keeps on giving. haha

Tough in D2 again this week, great splits so far gents. :cheers: I thought I'd have a quick go when I got in to work off some aggression after an annoying day and may have hit my magic lap. So being irritated is the trick. :sly:

I can get a better T1 but this was my best T2 by over a tenth and my T3 seemed pretty good too, although I've thought that before. :D

Ah, great first splits.👍

This may be the first lap in history in which I hit a PB in all sectors:
T1: 14.514
T2: 43.514
Matching.:sly:
 
I've been seeing a several 58.4xx's lately so I know I'm on the right track. BTW w-g-e, those splits are ridiculous! :crazy:

Thanks Wes. :cheers: Fantastic splits there lad - I haven't seen any .5s in sector 2 yet so looks like some work to be done. Huge congratulations on your GTA performance last week as well mate... amazing. 👍
 
Done a short stint in both cars and there's not a lot in it at the moment. I think one will prove quicker though. Here's my best splits so far.

14.930

You are the king of city tracks :bowdown:

Hoping to get some more time on this....only had an hour so far, feel like I can challenge here, love the track!
 
New splits, better T1, slower T2. Really struggling to get a consistent lap.

Not sure how much bouncing off the curbs I take.:crazy:

For me anyway the faster of the two cars is the harder one to drive. Need to be real smooth, not one of my strong suits. :guilty:

I'll have to get started on this in a couple hours.

First 5 laps.

15.160
45.102


And I'm going to get into the habit of not loading ghost laps from now on.

More laps.

I wasnt sure a DS3 could beat a 44.00x time thru T2. I tried driving my wheel and I didnt see a OMG wheels turn so much better kind of deal thru T2 so I just focused on nothing but T2 all my laps today. I did do a 7 thru T2 once with my DS3.
 
Did another 35 lap stint, could not improve on my sector times, but was able to nibble 0.090 from my lap time. Considering my place on the leaderboard, I think I am close to my maximum ability.....but offcourse that will not keep me from tryin :) as the perfect lap and even the magic lap, are still out there....

Super combo in my opinion 👍

Edit;

Did extra 25 lap stint, and was able to improve on my splits, and total lap time, achieved my goal :)

New split from a quick pre Italy vs Germany session, go Italy :)

Quicker T2, but still a lot of time left in T1 and T3:
14.837

Just can not resist this combo :)

Did a midnight session of 40 laps, was not able to improve on my posted splits, but one lap I was behind my gost on sector 2 with 0.350, then ran my best ever sector 3 and was able to get 0.300 of my best laptime. Now if I would be beating this ghost then I would have a perfect lap (for me that is). Still not givin'up, I know it is possible !!

At the moment I am 0.400 sec better then the goal I had set myself 👍
 
Great combo! Favorite track, and the car (yes that car, not the other) likes trashing in such a lovely way :D

I have done some 70 laps and seen better than this wasted at some barrier, but it is great fun!

Put a couple of hours into this tonight. Marginal improvement.

New PB thru T3 by a tenth and a half. My T1 and T2 splits look so slow to me and they are compared to my PBs. haha

Nice thing is I know of plenty of time to still get out of the track...thats positive and always makes beating your OT seem alot easier.:)
