Thx guys! at least i have one sector that go well. :lol:
Now i cant get any good T1... time for a break i guess

:)
 
40.201
20.791

Late start for me. I will submit only if I can make some progress...
 
Only made time up in T3.....these are actually slower than my previous.

Seen a couple of 39.5's in T1 but never held them down for a lap.
Loved the combo, but could never quite hold it down........

39.736
20.851
 
Submitted. Could have done with another session but got stuck into the enduro instead. Set a reasonable time though and fairly happy. All the best gents!
 
Thanks Matt for the reminder, I almost forgot, given that today's a holiday. My T3 was not good, but we'll see how it holds up. :) Submitted, and good luck guys. :cheers:
 
39.758
20.942

Almost half a second at the line, still working on T2...

39.971
20.639

Another ~0.23s at the line.

Last minute banzai and managed just over a tenth on the lap.... :crazy:

38.718
20.526

Not sure what's happened to the other tenth in sector 2 but I can live without it if needs must. In theory I can go another half a tenth in sector 1, another tenth in sector 2 and another half a tenth in sector 3... in reality, I think that may be it. Submitting with this lap anyway but I'll probably turn a few more laps just for the hell of it while the missus is busy. :sly:

Best of luck you guys :cheers: Baron, Mike, been a hell of a week - I get the feeling it'll be pretty close between the 3 of us at the line. 👍 :nervous:
 
Just put in a last effort. It's hard to get back into the rhythm after 3 days off of it!

39.317
20.780
 
Well done Chris! 👍

I doubt my T3 will do the job to catch ,124 though
Couldnt get a clean lap in another short session, i will try again later tonight just in case but i think thats it.

I had a ,238 after the first two splits and some other close to that but missed the first corner of T3 everytime... :ouch:

It will be close for 2nd and 3rd place, i think you are safe unless someone run a strong lap. :) Got a ,783 T1 once as well, i cant wait to see the line you used for ,600s its very good.

And yeah its been a nice week! (week end for me... been watching the leaderboard every hours on my iphone haha)

Goodluck everyone!
 
Had a one-hour bash at this last week, but between having a concert on Father's day, sleep and Spa :sly:, never got more.

I'll be watching the results later - looks close! Good luck!
 
Thanks Mike :) Not sure what happened to my 2nd sector times but I think I blow the entry after a faster 1st sector. I reckon I'm done at that though. Good luck mate. 👍 I'm not sure I have any replays saved with a .6 T1 - just deleted all my 'spares' but I'll see if I can run another one tonight anyway.
 
Can't wait to see the results, pretty happy I kept so close to d1 all week. I think my t3 is pretty good so I'm really happy with the lap.

Good luck everyone.

Pretty certain there's gonna be a huge minus against your name in a couple of hours. I think you've walked the division this week 👍 👍
 
I need your thought on this, would it be considered okay?

I counter steered a little too much and got too much on left, thats the further i was on on the pit entry. :(

If you go too far over, the game red clocks you Mike, so if its not red-clocked, you're good to go.
 
Submitted on Thursday and never got to run again. It was fun though. I don't know where you guys found all that extra pace. I got very consistent and had many laps within a tenth of my submitted lap, but never managed a magic lap nor did I make any breakthrough to put me in the class of the top runners. Good racing guys.
 
Thx WRP :)

Alright Chris thx mate, didnt know because of the rules on the OP stating if you go too far on the line on pit entry....

I shaved only ,032 off the lap... microscopic improvement but i will take it :D

Will wait before posting in case i can improve...:nervous:

edit: couldnt improve but got so close!! haha

it was a LOT of fun even if i couldnt run the way i liked to. 👍

38.909
20.420

submitting
Goodluck!

I was able to improve on my best lap a couple of times, but each time there were close calls. It's too close to the deadline to make sure the runs are clean, so I submitted with last posted splits.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go dancing in the streets (because of my brown sector :P).
 
Sick lap Chris. Congratz! Lucas just nipped me for the podium... bugger.
 
Thanks Tim! :cheers: My second ever win! - super chuffed with the lap and overjoyed at the win! I'll save the rambling for the results thread though... ;)
 
My T3 was better than i thought, i was not really confident about it, i was all over the place on T3. managed a ,312 T2 once, best T1 was 38.783 this morning, some frustration in the morning but tonight was a blast even though i barely improved total laptime :)

Well deserved win Chris :cheers:

Wow, can't wait to see how d1 drivers do t3. It's always been my worst section on this track but I thought I'd be a little closer.

Very happy with the win though, first one on pavement.
 
Thanks Mike - and thanks for pushing me to try and improve... kicking me all the way to the line. :cheers: And nice job on the D2 win Baron 👍 You also kept the pressure on all week... :cheers:

Here's my lap video while we wait for the results thread:

Beautiful lap Chris, and congrats on the win. I feel a bit sorry for that left front tire.

Couldn't really see where I am losing so much time in t3, my line looked just like yours. Guess I just need to go a little faster, that shouldn't be too hard right?:)

Tiny differences add up to big gains in a high speed sector like that - a bit more momentum but mostly its about getting on the throttle earlier and keeping it flat as much as you can. Still a good performance from you this week though - really pushing, and this is a demanding track. 👍
 
The first and the last corner of T3 need a good line otherwise you lose a good chunk of time there, you did great Baron!

Nice lap Chris!, it was a fun week chasing the laptimes :) i see where you gained on T1 now, i think your gearing was better than mine for T1, mine was wider and my line was too conservative, i really like the way you took the first corner of T1 👍

Heres a vid of my lap as well :)
My entry on T2 was too unstable to get a ,300s, was so close to the wall i was not sure and was a bit late to enter the corner... give an idea though.

the exit before the pit entry was a little strange, i countersteered for no reason and lost some time there and the rest of the lap i pushed too much trying to compensate...
