AMAZING splits Rob

Those splits are incredible, they might just be enough to win this thing. Congratulations Rob.

Thanks to you both! It isn't over until the fat lady sings though.



Edit: Submitted time at around 3:30 PM today, still awaiting confirmation from fetchbot.

Edit 2: Nevermind, sent it again, confirmed now. 👍

Hi folks!

I'm afraid I'll not be submitting this week. The lap I posted turns out to be very close at the bus stop. I can't get a pic showing it dirty but it's too close to call. My next best lap isn't great and I won't have time tonight for another go. Good luck to all.

Gonna submit with this lap, still a half a tenth there from T3, but I'm done.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!

Great splits!

I have been away from home this weekend and won't be home today either. It was bound to happen some time. Just don't improve any further.

Good luck everyone.

 

[Mamba]

I've had a lap a tenth down at t3 but 2 tenths up after the bus stop, went straight into the wall, havent come close since, so now I know im leaving a lot out there been getting consistent laps close to my best but not actually beating it, its probably best I leave it like that, nervous for this I might lose a place or two with that bad T4.

 

[EDK]

Nice splits Baron 👍.

Won't have time to chase them so good luck.


I'll send the replay to both of you, Mitch and Marc. That way you both can admire my sheer awesomeness and fastness . Doesn't matter who posts it.

Just so you know, attachments cannot be sent through the PM system, you'll need to track down an email address for one of these guys.

It took me almost 2 hours to get on the same pace as the day before yesterday. Then improved my best lap time by 0.016. Did this lap with my best last sectors ever... but left some time in the first 3 sectors, so i think I should be able to find another 0.3 sec.

Well we still got some time left, that is if later tonight you are not supposed to be at the Christmas table

Hope I can still hit the perfect lap...

 

[Mamba]

yes

Cheers Litchi, I hope my t4/5 is good enough

 

[Litchi]

I won't give another shot for this event due to christmas stuffs. I just wish my t4/5 are better than yours

Time submitted with my current splits.

Merry christmas everyone

 

[Mamba]

Apparently my t4 was a touch slower improved my lap by 0.044 had a .05 at t3 was so shocked went surfing into the grass 2 tenths down the drain there

[Racingworld68]

Found some time in the first sector, still not best second, but improvment at the line

And then:
28.205
24.064
13.487
... and it's clean. Just. I checked quite hard.

Submitting with that, because Santa is cranky I'm still up.

 

[GTPorsche]

Not giving this any more effort and submitting with the splits on the board.

 

[Vagabond]

I might have to pull out... My best lap is probably too marginal at the bus-stop and my next best is 3 tenths slower. Now I can't get near my best lap at all... struggling in fact to tie a half decent lap together. Given that its Xmas Eve and all, I probably won't get a chance to get a decent session in later so good luck and a very Merry Christmas to you all.

 

[GTP_RaceRyder]

Cannot get enough seat time for improvement. final splits. Submitting.

[Racingworld68]

Small improvement, think I am about done here...

28.486
24.540
13.456

I can only hope my last sectors are good, in order to obtain a negative handicap. A division podium finish will be just out of reach this week, as I have seen Shawn is almost always good in keeping up his pace in the last sectors. Alltough I slightly hessitated to run this tt, it turned out to be a lot of fun and an excellent practise on throttle control. 👍

Submitting with these splits. Happy holidays everyone.

True I like running events I hate, it forces me to be better, I didn't like Laguna seca either but ended up being a lot of fun. This was tough lots of trail braking but the bus stop was horrible, in the end I gave a bit in T1 but made up some in t2 and t4 sucks I can't put all together. Looks like D3 is very close only two tenths separating us and from my runs T4 you can lose 2 tenths very easily without even realizing it. Good luck everyone and Merry Christmas thought I'd run again but I don't have the energy to try and put everything together.

 

[Worst_Driver]

Running out of time, submitting with current splits.

Merry christmas to everyone, I wish you great times with your family and friends.

 

[Racingworld68]

After stepping away from my rig for an hour, came back on it, and started without ghost.
Now I see I ran better sectors but left a bit in T4. Means I can't let it go just yet, as I feel there might be more out there....

28.355
24.581
13.443

Merry Christmas everyone !!!

Took a very tiny 0.007 of my laptime, everything I gain now is bonus, if only that perfect lap would be on under the x-mass tree

 

[gm matthew]

Time for a last do-or-die, and I've improved in T2:

28.491
24.158
13.375

Now at least I'm ahead of Yannik in the splits. If I could just master T1, I could manage a properly good time. Right, back to Daytona...

Update: Just set a considerably faster lap, thanks to a near-perfect bus stop, but my car goes so close to the wall, it's really difficult to tell if it's touching or not. It would be such a shame to have to throw away this lap, so I'm going to check it more closely. Too bad there's not enough time for someone else to verify if the lap is clean.

Update 2: Okay, I've had an extra close look, and I've found an angle where there is no discernible distance between the car and the wall. As much as I hate to do it, I have to declare the lap dirty and throw it away.

 

[Racingworld68]

It is nice to see, Santa brings what you asked for

New I had to stay on it, ran an amazing lap and even made a big mistake in T2. So glad I could take another 0.4 of my best lap. Right on the limit

28.325
24.448
13.514

For all I know, this should be enough to get a negative handicap and maybe a podium place in division 3.

You just might. I'm not too happy with my lap but I have no time to run it and the lap came in my third session out of 7 or 8. I didn't even get to my goal for this week so I'd be surprised if I managed to get a podium.

I spent a total of 7 hours on track, seems like it pays off everytime I take out that much time. Might be very close with Mamba. Gave it all I got, and very happy with my lap, my last two sectors where both PB. Hope it is good enough...

.03 faster at the line.

 

[Racingworld68]

Congratulations to Grand Prix with the overall victory. Wow Litchi that must have been a crazy last sector you ran there. Both Manu and Litchi congratulated for taking second and first place in 3d division. I am very happy to take the bronze medal. Now hoping the handicap works out in our favour

 

[Litchi]

wow, i couldn't expect to win 2 spots in the last splits
I confess Manu was scaring me speaking about his t4/5. I wanted to give a last shot for being sure to keep my 1st D3 place but i couldn't due to christmas etc.
Nice job everyone 👍

EDIT: oops, i just checked my own replay and it looks dirty at the bus stop.
red flag here i come
