Thanks Chris and Matt, I'm pretty happy with the lap but I'm still looking for about .15 overall.

Also wondering what Tim is working on, he has been awfully quiet the last few days.

The enduro
Tim has a busted wheel too unfortunately.

Yes, my wheel is overheating without a functional fan and I'm also feeling under the weather so haven't run since Thursday. I have a small hope of running a couple more short 20-30 minute sessions, even though it's probably not the best idea for my wheel.

No worries Mike Just, you know, don't beat me with it

I think I know how you can fix that problem Tim... Its called the Fanatec CSW... Is it time?

...but I'm still looking for about .15 overall.

It starts getting silly the faster you go. I'm still looking for 0.35... found another tenth in sector 3 I didn't know was there but dropped 0.25 through there on my new best lap.

38.724
20.536

So looking for the lost tenth in sector 2 and 0.25 in sector 3. I'll settle for another 0.2 off the lap though I think. Now 7 seconds faster round here than my first lap last Sunday...

i knew it wouldnt take long before you take 1st place back hehe
Well done! 👍

I had some ,820 on T1 and i think a very low ,400 on T2 but couldnt replicate them in the short time i had, i doubt i'll see ,700s on T1 its really good.

Thanks mate I'm not happy at all with my run through sector 3 though... but I'm done chasing tonight. Another bash tomorrow after the F1. Good luck 👍

 

[Cats_PJs]

A low 7 in t1? That's just silly.

 

[mike_gt3]

A low 7 in t1? That's just silly.

lol yeah i agree Im surprised Chris is still in D1 bronze

I'll take that as a compliment

lol yeah i agree Im surprised Chris is still in D1 bronze

My talent bag is a bit pick'n'mix Mike... if a car doesn't suit me just right, I can lose big chunks of time so occasionally my handicap takes a bit of a beating. I never expected to even be in D1 (started in D2 Bronze in GT5, D3 Bronze in Prologue) so I'm not complaining.

 

[Gravitron]

Wow, congrats guys. You've made this insane.

I'll have no more chances to run before deadline, so am hoping the new combo that just went up will grab peoples' attention and allow me to stay where I am on the LB.

 

[Racingworld68]

Wow some crazy sector times are shown here 👍

Found improvment on both sectors, small, but I'll take it, but then I found another half second in the last sector, wich gave me 0.620 better laptime. Getting a bit nervous now for the F1 (lol) Go Kimmi !!

39.528
20.747

Edit ; submitted my best time.

Took 3 laps. Spent an hour yesterday going, at best, 2 tents slower than this!! Made a couple of tweaks to setup, minimal however but did add some negative front toe to go with positive rear. Tried Barons setup, but it didn't suit me, I'm amazed you can run so fast with it! 👍

Edit: Would have been rude not to run another '3 laps' (ish)

39.088
20.610 ()

Only really a tenth at most left and most of that in T2. Might submit this.

 

[Racingworld68]

Screen froze, lost my data, fortunatly I made a back up this morning. This will mean I will have to try to equal my earlier posted splits.

 

[Cats_PJs]

Nice job Matt, maybe you should try 3(ish) more laps.

I'm curious, what did you think of my setup, too loose, too tight, or all around junk?

 

[millross]

Hey baron, I think it's the positive ride height at the rear and low spring at rear - if I flip them round, the car is great for me, so it's those two things where I can't fathom how you're so quick, I struggled for grip. But we have totally different wheels and no doubt different styles, so it's not that surprising

There's now a max of .250 left in the lap for me based on new best sector times. 39.021 best T1 earlier and I dropped a great T3 with another half a tenth off the previous best, only sector which is going backwards is the relatively simple middle one..... Will run again, but may not manage it as it'll need close to 3 PBs which won't just drop into my lap without a fight...

Interesting! I'm not fast like you guy's, but I flipped the ride height settings and that made a world of difference in how the car handled with Baron's setup.

 

[Cats_PJs]

Hey, you know what, that rear ride height should be - 25. I think I've always posted that wrong on my setups. Very sorry guys. No wonder no one likes my tunes. What a block head.

Lost a bit of time in the first sector couldn't match my best which was in the .4s but i gained a bit in the middle and last sector. Thats my last attempt I think I've reached my limit on this track/car on to the next one.

 

[Windy_1238]

Good tune tho, welcome to the legions of the rest of us Block Heads!!
Remark intended in response to Baron. No insult intended to anyone, including myself!!!!!

Nice combo, gave my Lady about 700km on this track, here is the result:

39.991
20.730

I'm too sick from the roundabout now

 

[Vagabond]

I just did a 38.688 first sector then blew the spiral.... chasing a nice lap time if I can keep my cool. Good luck everyone

I feel like i shouldnt have posted splits lol
Awesome T1 Chris! 👍

I hope i'll be able to run today, may be later in the afternoon, but from there i can already feel i will need nerves of steel

 

[Vagabond]

Thanks Mike 👍 - not sure what happened... I've been going fairly well through sector 1 all week but last night and today something clicked and I'm now doing .7s fairly easily and .6s about 1 in 5 times. I even double checked I was running the correct specs and SRF etc. but its all good, I'm just enjoying that sector. The trick is getting a good run round the spiral after a ballistic T1 split... and still keeping my nerve through the chicane at the end... not getting that yet. Getting there with consistency though...

38.790
20.504

Up half a tenth on the lap but with no PB sectors - looking for about a tenth in each sector now.

Good luck with your session Mike - take it steady

I am probably going to submit this lap. PB's in 1&3 so any improvement would be minor and I should probably spend some time with my better half.

I might give it one more shot tomorrow since I usually don't get a chance to run on Monday.

I found a little time to run some laps, did a 38,819 on T1 but now i cant replicate it...

Its a step back for the 1st two splits but still shaved 2 tenths off my previous best lap though, i think its my best T3 so far, theres still some time left though.

39.029
20.339

edit: Well done Baron 👍

 

[Cats_PJs]

Thanks Mike, I have no idea how you are going over a tenth faster than me in t2, its only one corner.
