Nice T1 👍 Stopped crying and beating your fists on the floor now then?:
💡
Yes apologies all,
I am just the really competitive type and don't like it when i'm running times I know I can easily beat.
I don't think my chicane is that great though, watching the replay from the long right sweeper it looks pretty messy.

I prefer the GP version to the DTM, because of the Schumacher S, it's not the greatest flowing track and I think it's more suited to racing than hotlapping. I think the car and these tyres makes the combo, even if my T1 is pretty poor, I can still enjoy the combo.
Some tracks you can just drive straight away, this one needs some time to actually find a rhythm.

Hehe, its odd how opinions and tastes vary - I don't like the Schumacher S at all and it took me forever to get gold on that license test. And with this week's combo, I've put in less time than any week so far... about 3 hours at this point. Most weeks I've spent between 8 and 10 hours come Friday.
I put the most time into the Monaco/WRC Citroen combo, made very little progress, then got a DQ for a dirty chcane.

It's strange how you put down a time and then all of a sudden have some confidence and start to hit good sectors, 3 laps in a row I have been running 59.6s for T1 and T2. The strange thing is thats with a T1 2 or 3 tenths down on my best. If I can put that all together should be able to take a tenth or two off my time.
Here's to hoping
ABS 8 TCS 0 BB 5/5

Finally I managed to crack those 36's in T1, and how!
T1: 36.048
T2: 24.160
I'm submitting now, there's still a few tenths to find but I can't put it all in 1 lap
Edit: @sidplayos, yesterday i checked my chicane and found out it was indeed on the green so had to start over again
Holy. Nice work, poolhaas! 👍 Setting the D4 bar in D3 or D2 territory.

Thankzz JumpI couldn't get that simple two word expresion out of my head and "Wha Lah"
T1: 36.709
T2: 23.924

That T2 is coming along nicely dude 👍 It may also help your T1 if you don't hit the inside rumble strip at turn 1. Try taking a line just outside of it so you try and avoid that steep decline (loss or traction), you can floor it earlier and exit wide, that helped me earlier. However I haven't gone back to this yet
I got suckered into racing online

Yes thats what I am doing, turn 3 I am down shifting to second and exiting in third, I find it benefits to get on the gas late on the exit of turn 3 into turn 4. As for turn 2 I start out wide then ease my way to the inside and accelerating through the apex out to the rumble strip, may be some useful information for you here, thats how I managed my 35.8
Good luck 👍

Just remember when shifting to 3rd mid corner it pays to stick as close to the left as you can, and don't be to keen to get on the gas even if you see your ghost exiting before you, sounds crazy but the longer you wait to get on the gas the quicker exit you get and you will pass your ghost before the end of T1 👍

That T2 is coming along nicely "old Wrightwalker" 👍 It may also help your T1 if you don't hit the inside rumble strip at turn 1. Try taking a line just outside of it so you try and avoid that steep "Gravitational Force" (loss of escape velocity), you can "hit your afterburners" earlier and exit wide
I'll see if your line will show me "the Force"

Did 100+ laps yesterday and only got slower and slower. Came home today and did 10 laps, and then... 
T1 36.315
T2 23.606
Still lots of time to gain. I can see where I lose it, but can not manage the car so precisely as to gain it. I am slowly learning.
