Fun combo, Kev 👍

22.833
19.185

BB 3/9 ABS 4 (but I'm not sure whether it's really helping :dunce: )

Still not sure where/when it is best to shift up/down...
 
Hi everyone!

Did some laps, stock Brake bias.
I need to work on T2, cant see the optimal line for the moment, (hoping i will find it before deadline... lol) i got a ,777 once but cant replicate for the moment...

i hope i'll have more time during the week to work on that :scared:

22.418
18.881

Fun Combo Kev! :)
 
This might be the lap I submit, I only see very small amounts of time left. Using bb4/4 abs 1. Rear bias makes it too loose in turn 1 and scrubs off too much speed.

18.873
 
Getting a head start this week, first try...

22.721
19.499

Managed to knock 2 hundredths off overall despite being slower to T2. No close call on this one.

22.692
19.000
 
Can't believe I just had a 22.464 first sector followed by a 18.742 second sector and then messed up the last sector!!! 🤬 :banghead:

EDIT: Beat my time, New sectors;

T1: 22.498
T2: 18.716


New splits:

T1:22.439
T2:18.754

First bunch of laps. There's still a couple of tenths in there. Had 22.5's & sub-19's, but never together (yet).

T1: 22.642
T2: 19.002
 
Had another short session, now i got it the other way...bad T1 and better T2...
:scared:

22.525
18.731
 
22.808
19.089

0.3s at the line, so most of the improvement is in T3...
 
Sheesh, I think I am getting down to my limit.

22.626
18.865

New splits, but .200 faster 👍

How is everyone approaching turn one? Im not able to get mid 22s in that sector?

Only tested offline, but ran some online laps last night after the race, and this is what I was doing.

Leave the car in 4th, turn in at the last marker sign on the left, very light braking and let the car carry to the back rumble.

Down to 3rd as you come to the back rumble and use that with a lift to make the second apex and then hammer out.

The key is to brake as late as possible but not too hard and to use the braking to help the turn in to the second part of the corner, if you get it right a 22.383 is possible :)

How late do you break? At the last marker like Kevin suggested or slightly before?

I can't remember exactly but just experiment a bit and go across the kerb on the inside a bit as well. If you brake hard momentarily as you apply the brakes then you can brake later.
