.I tried about a 15 min. stint about an hour ago but my eyesite was bothering me. (blurry, double vision-a symptom of my accident that happens from time to time. Just need to rest) I'll see if I can give it another go tomorrow.

Sorry to about the vision, I had cataract removed right eye, left eye Feb. My times have been off because of the issue. Understand your plight! Get well!:guilty:

Going to give Airsick some pressure!:sly:

Could that be caused from a migraine ?

Sure is my friend. I had some bad head injuries and the effects still linger...and always will. Learning to live with it all tho so not such a big deal anymore. I just have limitations sometimes but I am determined to not let them get in my way, its just hard sometimes.
 
Aww a .692 T2 split just went through the window.:(
Last sector is so hard to get right...

T1: 29.552
T2: 48.160
Finally, but still 2 tenths out there realistically. 3 tenths unrealistically.

Awful feeling. Got the same thing from back ache these weeks. Hope you get better soon
 
I'm submitting. My back pain makes concentration difficult, on this TT you need a lot of it.
Great times in Div 4 RaceRyder, Airsick and CargoRat!! 👍

Come on my friend, dig deep, don't give up. Sometimes, when you think you have reached your limit, then you dig deeper than ever thought possible, you will be rewarded. Your limit is only what you make it. On the outside, it may seem like you reached it, but inside there are no limits and thats where true success lies. Heart, determination, & dedication.

New splits.

30.605
49.789

After seeing the leaderboards, I refuse to be left behind by my division. Together we compete, together we shall rise.
 
New splits after a too short, but positive session :)

29.946
48.194

Not that good T1 on that run, but slightly better T3 than my previous lap, still did an error that cost around a tenth in T3 grr!

Positive thing is i finaly started to see better T1s, best tonight was ,692 and seen a ,772
Hoping to put more time before the deadline.

Good fight in Div4 ! 👍
 
@Mitch. Thanks for the inspiring words my friend! I tried a few laps earlier but with negative results. Will try tomorrow. Can't wait for what the Guru's will come with for next week. Maybe it will be part of the Academy the Saturday following? Looking forward to that!!

No problem my friend. I sometimes forget that not everybody is as serious about developing their skillset as I am so sorry if I came off too pushy. Its just that I didn't want you to give up so easily or without reaching your full potential.

D4-Together we compete, together we shall rise.

Thats my new motto for us D4ers.

Mitch. I didn't take it at being pushy at all, good advice only. Problem is my age (74 in Dec) and chronic back problems. I've had Gran Turismo since 1997 and am addicted to the game. I try to develop new skills, but teaching an Old Dog new tricks doesn't come easy. Keep improving you're skills! You are an inspiration to all!!

Wow, 74 uh? Well, you are certainly an inspiration to me aswell. I'm only 46 and I can only hope I can still play the game as well as you can when I get to be that age. It is a joy competing with you and I am happy to have you as a friend. Keep up the good driving my friend.
 
Had another session this afternoon but i have one question for you guys,
if the car felt like it had no contact, and that i cant really see anything weird on the analyser, but the mirror is visualy touching the armco, is it acceptable?

Been up since 7am giving this one more herculean effort. 6 hours in the seat, thumbs bloody with broken blisters and blood on my wheel, I think this is it for me. New splits are probobly what I'll submit with.

30.259
49.763

Going to let b-spec bob break in my Vette at Indy and watch some football. I'm spent.

thats very very close Mike, try zooming in to the mirror and see if you can see a gap. usually if someones replay is that close thats what i would do

I would be more worried about invisible wall and the back of the car there. We've told people they can't have their mirror INSIDE a wall, etc. But I don't see where that is really even touching, it looks like there might be a small gap?

Without seeing a replay, I would not want to make a final ruling. This post is not your free pass to a green flag, just my speculation based on the limited evidence provided.

I understand that :nervous:, heres more pictures:

The mirror touch the graphic of the armco but there is no contact, at least to what i felt and from the analyser. i watched the replay because i was worried about the chicane after the tunnel but it was good, then noticed it was close to the wall on turn 1 visualy.

That's a dq for contact IMHO.

Yes, we would DQ for that.

Sorry, no need for me to view the reply, Mike. That's contact, by our rules.
