Spent a couple of hours trying to out race my ghost, without any sucess. Tried to watch my replay with a 41.18 sector 1 to find out where i ws going wrong. Not there! Nearly bust a blood vessel. Anyway, restarted about 20 laps after the first chicane trying understand it. Think I have it nailed now. Just need to add all the corners together.

From my leaderboard lap, I am slower in the first 2 sectors, but significant improvement at the end of the lap.

1'32.416
 
New Split's for me , I am so addicted to this track . Still made 2 mistakes on this run not keeping it tight through the Sebring S section and Entered too fast on the Hill Apex so cost me some time sliding there which compromised my entry into Laguna.

Don't suppose anyone has a setup to try , just changed my gear ratio's , so might try slamming the car a bit tomorrow but i just love the way the car moves as it is , so not sure if i should change it .

Up until this morning, I was running under the assumption that the rumble strips were part of the track, but then I found out that they're not. :banghead:
It took me a while to adapt my driving lines, but at the end of the day, I managed a 0.5 second improvement. :)

Wowsers! Looks like we have another ĂĽber-alien in the mix...welcome to the WRS :bowdown: As for a tune, you're welcome to try mine from back here, it's working okay for me but I'm a bit of a tune n00b. The reason people are quiet about tunes this week is because it's a team event. Normally people are happy to share but there's extra-fierce competition this week đź‘Ť

As for me, I've hammered out a few more laps for the following splits (I think mine warrant a lower case "s" though):

41.384
1'32.500

I feel like there's maybe 3 or 4 tenths if I nail everything but I'm pretty satisfied with this lap for now.

I feel like I was right about the chicanes, they make up the bulk of where time is gained or lost for me, as well as the sharp left leading onto the straight before T2.

Oh yeah, I turned my car into a disco ball too just for something different:

Over half a second at the line.

41,400
1'32,150

Pretty close at the exit of the first chicane, but made sure it was clean before posting my splits.
 
lol...well I'm done with Week 10 so if you can leapfrog me, more power to you. My final sector wasn't too bad, but I did lose 0.1 or 0.2 with a slight drift on that long sweeping left just before the last couple of corners of the track (I should probably learn corner names), but I did nail the last main right hander leading onto the run to the finish đź‘Ť

Yeah, that keeps happening to me too....you have to get the right angle on entry into it. If it wasn't for that bit, I would probably be another 3 tenths further on than I am. I still haven't hit my target for the week yet and my PB's would put me at a 32.0 for the S2 split...it's just a struggle to be consistent over a full lap...I can regularly get a 41.1 S1 (and even had a marginally dirty 41.0) but then mess up S2, recover for a good S3 but slower than my ghost. It's the story of most weeks in the WRS for me :lol:
 
Managed to grab a couple of hours this morning.
Still using @MisterWeary tune đź‘Ť.

Submitted and accepted

42.850

Great tune, the car was faster when I stopped trying to get it where I wanted it to go and just let it find its natural line.
 
@Andy 0 : Similar improvement here, except proportionally smaller.

I can't stomach more of this, so quitting while ahead (of the dirty attempts).

43.017
94.917


Yes it's a long lap.. to go dirty just near the end.. :banghead:.. I've gone off just before the finish line.. not paying attention.. :(

You've done a solid job..
 
As I said before, you guys are making it difficult for me to get the D3 Leaderboard Gold......but not impossible :D

After trying a couple of set ups,m I went back to the one I used on my fastest lap..and set a PB S1 and S2 split and a whole 4 tenths of my overall lap time:

S1: 41.217
S2: 1:32.233
