The final turn is making me 🤬 myself

The concrete bit in T1 is SO DAMN ANNOYING... Flick the car into the final turn with about 15-20% brakes, works really well.

Also for anyone interested, this is what I'm (attempting) to shave tenths off to:

Ok now I'm REALLY worried about that last sector... but I totally approve of that time to Split 2 👍

TRIAL. CAN I HAS SOME GRIP PLS?!

It is rather an interesting car, if you are calm and gentle it'll go around any corner quite well, its just asking it to change direction or turn in suddenly that you notice the SH tyres have little grip. Honestly surprised how well balanced and behaved the car is.

@Vitessekid

7/5 was recommended in this post from early in the week (don't recall anyone using anything different)

@StigsTC You have to accept the FF for what it is and adjust for it. There's 2 things I know,it's going to understeer on entry and exit and theres going to be wheel spin..

Run a higher front brake bias to shift more weight to the front im runn 7/5..?for eample,on exit of the 2nd tunnel tap the brakes to shift the weight back to the front so you'll have more grip on that annoying dip,a little wider entry helps to adjust for the understeer on exit. And easy on the throttle on exit, it's going to spin,knowing that and a wider entry allow for the car to push wide on exit. Their enjoyable to me because I know what it's going to do,everytime.
Nice thing about this car is that it has some throttle release oversteer when your steering angle is right.

Now ,help me understand why the front of this car seems like it bounces around to me.

I used 3 -10 wich is better in t1 one but loses out a lot in the last turn because it doest tialbrake as much

Saw a few high 59s, but couldn't finish them faster. Think I'm done.

Good Luck all!

That's what I ended up using, the lap times still aren't looking pretty. Since I got those splits in about 10 minutes I thought I would have been able to catch up quickly, but looks like that's not the case.

Submitted and accepted. I seemed to have forgotten what this was because of another series taking up most of my time but it's nice to see myself up there, I suppose.

Submitted and accepted at 23:59... talk about a close shave.

I've been busy all week and only had about 30 mins to have a go so my lap is going to be shoddy lol.

Nailed the first sector but I can't seem to reproduce the magic sector 2 that subsequently stalled my laptimes. Didn't really get all of the last sector to only inch forward. so it is going to be ridiculously close at the line, but I suspect if @Meister Fetz was doing 59s and not improving he's going to be quicker in S3 to take the win. T'was a good battle, I have far surpassed what I thought I was capable of in this car/track combo and all I can do is hope it is enough.
Good luck to all those putting in their last runs, been a rather fun week. 👍

Put in a 1 hour continuous session and found a bit of time!

Pleased with final sector. In theory I should be 0.1s faster because of this mediocre sector 1. Did see one time under 28 seconds, so maybe even 0.2s faster would have been possible!

This lap had my best drive through most of the the key turns. No real mistakes. That made it the fastest overall. And no doubt about being clean. Some of the others I did were borderline.

In the mean time, my first time in this particular situation...
