Hello everybody. I'm back again, it's hard after 5 months off. My first laps and quick tune.

25.607
30.830

I'll try better later today.

First quick tune:

Welcome back praiano, I want to also thank you for all the tunes you provide
 
Very early splits, a lot to find in T2 :indiff::

25.548
30.774


25.844
30.459

Now just need to combine the two. :lol:

Using Chris' transmission and LSD (with 22 Decel) and Praiano's suspension and BB 3-1. 👍

Nice seeing some DS3 drivers tear it up!👍

Good to see you back Jack, your usually setting the standard for ds3'ers.
I think this track is quite well suited to the d-pad, the changes of direction are quicker or require full lock, which is a little bit easier compared to long gradual corners.

Vagabond
Great going Lou, particularly with a DS3 👍

Cheers Chris, although I think it might have been a fluke. After half an hour I can't get close to the time I set yesterday. Will give it another go a bit later.
 
Managed a tiny improvement at the line, but slightly slower splits.

T1 25.485
T2 30.388

Seen a 25.367- first sector saved the replay so I can study it lol! And try to get close again. Still some time to find in sector 3 - that right which is heavily cambered just before the start finish section is tricky to hit without losing too much time.
 
Nice to see you back, never had the opportunity to thank you for the dozen tunes from your hand I have been using 👍 Thanks.

Btw : It also looks like you kind of forgot how to put your sector times, fletchy will not pick up these :)

EDK
It was actually the tune messing it up. I think fetchy will still take this format.

0'00.000

I edited that first and still could not force it to pick up splits, so I put his tune in quotes (like I do for my own, normally) and it grabbed the splits right away.

Thanks everybody.

Good sector 3 . Difficult to find the balance for turns 3-4-5-6 need high precision throttle and wheel. Hard.... Need to explore another way to set the car.
 
Made just over a tenth at the line. Still a little bit to find through the sharp left and double right in the final sector. And maybe that tenth in t1 if im lucky.

T1 25.458
T2 30.300

Lost a bit at the roundabout compared to my ghost though.
 
Well, here it is. No stage 3, had to buy another car, can't remove engine mod. Still breaking in, was fun running with the aliens! LOL !! Ali congrats on the promotion, been busy while I was gone!

26.176
30.679
 
Interesting how me and Praiano have exactly the same time for T1+2 but wildly different individually. :lol: :eek:
 
Wasn't planning on doing any laps but got fed up watching USA thrash Europe in the fourballs I thought I'd give it a go.

25.467
30.338

Struggling to see were I can improve on this lap.

Thanks Dale. Good to see you back!

Ran a few laps, not at full power yet. I'll probably have some times up tomorrow morning.

This is one of my favorite tracks, and the car is lots of fun too. Should be a good week, looks like d2 is showing up for this one.
 
Excellent combo! Just my type :).

25.509
30.295

Great splits Chris, Lou8ball, Eddie, Jack, and Mike!

Thanks Gooners nice T2 time. Id like to get into the 2s thru T2.

Cant complain tho just did a nice T1.:)

Little suprised when I came to see how my new OTs splits stacked up. Checked that Im on racing hards, SRF off, 352HP and for sure clean.

25.297
30.370
 
:ill::boggled: Jack, you are killing that T1. 👍

Thanks for double-checking your settings, because that is crazy.

I'm glad we have more time on this one, since it takes a while to realize you're not supposed to brake unless it's one of the 3 tight turns. :cheers:

You're not suppose to break, hmm interesting I didn't know that, the car picks up power a bit to quickly though
 
Slightly quicker lap, think Im near my limit now.

T1 25.400
T2 30.318

Still a tenth to find in the final sector and half a tenth in sector 1 ideally. Finding it easy to loose time in the final sector.
 
Starting my 9hr TV marathon now, first Bahrein, then Lime Rock. Hope we get some great races that inspire me to give this one another go tonight 👍

Thanks Mohit... and yourself mate. 👍 ...and Lou, Eddie, Mike, Jack... :P Epic battle going on in D2 guys. I hope I can stay out of trouble... :scared:

Crazy 1st sector time Jack. 👍 I've only seen 2x .2 through sector 1 but they were both dirty... Maybe before the end of the week.... :sly:

I finally nailed sector 3 after a decent 1st and 2nd sector for a 0.15 gain at the line:

25.351
30.164

Best 2nd sector of 30.094 during this session, so with a theoretical 25.29x 1st sector, I'm still looking for a possible extra tenth or so on the lap. In reality, of course, that is probably me done.

Good luck guys, particularly the D2 gladiators. :cheers:

Nice splits Chris, are you gonna post a video of T1 this week, I need to find a faster way around that sector?

Thanks mate, not too bad. :cheers: I'll get my capture card set up this afternoon and post up a video as soon as I get a free minute. :)
 
Sweet splits Chris.Think your Fear is justifiable though. These guys are on a tear. Interested to see how the added time will play a role. I'm sure there are a few that couldn't make it this week and a few that decided to delay starting or posting because of the deadline.

I'm struggling with a setup that works for all 3 sectors. 2 and 3 require a different setup then 1, for my driving style. Everytime I setup and pull .3's in 1, give it all back and more.

Searching for that compromise.

:cheers:

Good to see you in for the week Jack :). Haven't battled for awhile with ya. Or should I say, Lost to you by hundredths or even thousanths in T3.
 
Had a break from watching the Ryder Cup and improved my time.
