Well, I had another go. It did not go well, so I have to live with the splits on the board. Off to NASCAR

Al
 
27.464
31.394

Not my best T3. Not my best T anything but I can't put it all together so submitting.

Off to Daytona.
 
Thanks Ren, yes although not too cold at the moment. Nice splits! Wish I had more time at this but 200 miles is more than I've managed for months now. Had a quick run before work this morning to get the current lap. I've dropped 0.15 to my best in T3 so I imagine I'll drop down the order come the results, but I am very happy that I've managed semi-competitive splits, albeit not on the same lap! Did have one lap that was a tenth quicker, but I had three wheels off at the exit of the last turn :ouch:

Looking good, Jon. Pretty warm here right now!

Fun fact: I had a lap with splits of 27'900 and 31'100 (58.000 dead). That lap turned out to be dirty (rear tire crossed the grey where the red-and-white changes width into the tunnel), and was significantly faster to the line than my then best. Gave me a ghost to chase down, though :dopey:

Probably fatal miscalculation going to bed. Was tired, but my wife got up early too this morning, so I went back for sleep instead of laps. Submitted with current splits; good luck out there.

I did get to try my new headphones last night - I'm liking that quite a bit.

And Matthew, it may not be too much consolation, but those top three Div 3 guys tend to finish with D2 times rather a lot :sly: Tricky combo, this one, I think.

I also tend to find, whether submitting or not, that working on the combo for a while gives you much more context to figure out where to find time for the next run when it comes to reviewing the replays.

Submitted with last posted splits but I'm going to keep running till the last minute. If there is an improvement, I'll post it. Not happy with my time, but then again, when am I ever.
 
Sorry for sounding so miserable earlier; I was a bit depressed at being unable to make any decent improvements. I must admit, I didn't spend quite as much time on this TT as the earlier ones.

I've brightened up a bit now, and I've decided that I'm going to submit my time after all. If nothing else, it'll adjust my handicap suitably.

See you all at Daytona 👍
 
My final run didn't result in a faster lap time, although I was seeing better splits.
And after close inspection my fastest lap seems to be very close on the final turn, so Im going to submit a slightly slower lap just to be safe-

T1 27.086
T2 31.019

Adding up my fastest splits, I've left over 3 tenths on track - but realistically Id have hoped for another 2.
Very fun and addictive combo. Good luck to those still running.

Good on you mate. 👍 Nobody will seriously frown on you for choosing not to submit a time you're not happy with but its commendable to go ahead and submit anyway. Bravo. :cheers:

I must admit I've had a damn frustrating time with this combo too after getting off to a good start. Got my GT3 and Clubsports running again last Wednesday and then totally failed to improve my lap time, although I did see some good sector times... consistency went totally out of the window this week. Not sure if it was me or the car but I never really felt comfortable or settled into a rhythm.

Just (5 minutes ago) finally improved my lap by about 3 hundredths with slower splits and no PB sectors, so left about 2 or 3 tenths out there I think. A very challenging week so well done anyone who'd made it this far. 👍

26.868
30.840

:cheers:

Oh and nice to see you come out to play again this week Simon. :) Good improvement over the week mate. 👍
 
No improvement on my Hail Mary run. Had fun competing with my D4 mates as always, great runs guys. See you at Daytona.
 
Daaaaamn!!! Just realized it's 12.15am UTC and forgotten to submit my time. Shame, i was finally not so bad on the board :(
I was stuck on MGS 3 HD Collection for the whole day and completely forgot that...
