Can't believe this, I have the consistency in T1 and T3 for fast lines, but like I said really need help with what gears and lines you guys are using for T2. This sector is really frustrating me as I think with a good T2, I could really put out a fast lap.
If it wasn't for T2 I would probably be in the top 3, been running a lot of 35.8s in T1
Plato, I'm using 3rd, for the hairpin, upto 4th, back down to 3rd for the left and then up to 4th for the right onto the straight. Concentrate on a clean line here and get hard on the throttle on the apex. It helps if you have a slightly late apex. That's what worked for me and I've had .5's and .6's a few times.
If someone can tell me how to find the 4 tenths in sector 1 that everyone in front of me seems to have found then it would be appreciated!!

As for sector2,for the first right I brake around the first marker and throw a car in slight drift (bb 3/10).....going in 2nd gear at around 80-90% throtlle being at the inside of the corner as much as posiblle.Second 2 corners are classic slow in fast out with 3rd gear!
Hopefully this will help somebody and sry for my lack of english grammar!👍

Lefty, Prairie City looks awesome!!! 👍
Someday I'd like to own a track like that. So many combos!
Best of luck to LittleLefty!! Go Dude!!! 👍 👍
@ Plato: Off-week or not, you have made good progress on a track you don't like and left me in the dust. Maybe next week!

I'm not finished with this time trial yet, I can see what I think would be a great time for me on this track. I have just got to sort out T2 and hopefully that should push me up the board. Don't be fooled by my placing on the boards at the moment though as I think I have a fairly strong T3

Umm not everyone
I find the key is turn 4, it is not intuitive. Follow the left curb after turn 3 for a bit, then sharp right turn and away through turn 4 as straight as possible. Careful throttle, you want max forward traction and no sliding.
When this line succeeds (too rarely I must say) I can get 36.0xx, else I lose 2 tenths or more.
Of course I assume you have already nailed the other 3 turns, but what do I know

Why, are you going over the curb in the first left-hander? Just curious, I have yet to decide if that is a good idea or not, it can really eat speed.

Thanks cicua, I think I have the first turn OK, but 2 and 3 are my issue. Struggle for line and jusging apex speed in 2, and then 3 always seems messy. I think I need to be more patient with the throttle to get the right line for 4.
Anyway, I haven't been on track for 3 days - looking to get some seat time tomorrow to at least improve my T3 and maybe even grab a couple of tenths in T1. Need to consolidate my position otherwise I'm going to be slipping down the order come results day! I would love a D3 podium, as well as exacting some revenge on Sidplayos 👍

Yeah I'm finding my T1 is won or lost at turn 4 - a neat apex is vital, avoiding the curb, and early on the power.
Stunning time Zoky - really tidy 👍
Indeed. I'm now seeing regular 59.3xx at T2 but am putting the car too wide at the run off on the outside of turn 4, or cutting the chicane too much. A weekend of broken sleep to watch F1 practice and qualifying has left me a bit fried and impatient so if I can't pick it up tomorrow, I'm submitting with what I have now.
Good luck all.

You've got me this week easy, unless I can make 0.5 in T3. And you'll have me more than 2 tenths
Awesome job by you (and the rest) in the 23.5's , I can't come close to that this week. No more revenge please 👍
Took zoky's 3/10 BB and had instant results in T2 though, made a big difference, can be more consistent through there now.
Final quick go before race2 at assen.
36.181
23.781
Maybe 1 tenth or two in it , but no time left. Lost some time in the last corner got a bit sideways when my eyes went big that my ghost was behind me
And lost a bit in T3 as well.The rally in me came out in T2 at the hairpin, nice slide into there

Can I just clarify something, the last chicane, 2 wheels on grass and 2 on the curb is allowed or not? I just ran my fastest lap and I'm scared I ruined it by cutting the chicane to early (I got excited).

Guess we all know that feeling
It is clean as long it is the red/white part of the curb, not the green stuff.
