Well chuffed, yesterday tried all 3 cars for 1 lap each. Tonight drove the 911 RSR round Dragontail in the Dailies a couple of dozen times, felt comfortable with it. So tried the Nurburgring 24hr straight after. First run to put down a time but came off twice, felt good apart from those incidents. Was gonna try the other cars again but thought the RSR felt ok. Second lap nailed it, no offs, pretty committed most of Lap. Couldn't help letting off a little at end of long straight heading back to stadium. Very satisfying.

Well after way too many laps through hell on line I thought ....why not try a TT. Just for the H of it I checked my settings...hmm all settings were custom. Oops. That was the bad news... the good news was that while my original submittal was now BAD the good news was I was running with way too much wing an a stupidly wrong gearbox. New time is a second lost from optimum but as they say in Tennessee... “Im tarred”. More tomorrow.

Woahhhh!
so first I'm having fun driving around the Neeurborgring in an LMP1 car and I'm like wow this is amazing, the smell, the speed, the raw eggs. Then I realized woahhhh! hey aren't you supposed to be in a Le Mans winning Porsche 919 as driven by Leib, Dumas, and Jani??

Well emphasis on Dumas 'cause I was actually driving an R18 haha waaaaat! I ain't driving no third place Le Mans ********. Third place is like... first loser or something.

When I realized this, I considered quitting motorsports for good. But @GTP_Nail assured me that this was hilarious and I should feel bad, so I did. Then I realized that hey it's because I'm always driving in magic carpet nose cam mode. I'm never gonna let that happen again so from now on I will occasionally yell out the name of the car while I'm driving.

I got in the Le Mans winning Porsche 919 and did some laps in anticipation of participating in the Enduro next week! I'm super excited! If I'm in the wrong car please send me a PM and politely let me know what's up, thanks.

Thanks @Argon

Oh, one of the sectors was wrong. I started with a 2 when it should've been a 3.

Will posting the correct version fix that?
I already tried editing the initial submission but it doesn't seem to work.

On the plus side, this one was faster at the line :)

Great job Argon. I'll have my last session in a bit and very interested to see how we compare :)
 
Normally I’d be onto next weeks TT by now but I’m having so much fun on the ring I just can’t leave it alone :cool:

I’m not sure I could’ve took turn 2 any tighter! :scared: I’ve checked it frame by frame & it’s clean 👍

I’ve taken that corner tight too and although no contact is visible, I do here a rumble. This could be the road surface but clarification would be helpful.

While I mention it, what are the rulings on:

-Painted (green) tarmac - the point where the track layouts converge after the above barrier

-drains and concrete

-block paving
 
Thanks and yes, it's going to be close between you me and @Espial I see @Fastas has just thrown his hat in the ring too but knowing Dan he'll be off up the board fairly soon 👍

Yeah, can't wait to see the results! Good luck guys :).

Really like racing here and love the car :). I should post some images perhaps.

Last session, found a second, but man it's embarrassing to watch the replay, there are so many small nervous mistakes, but luckily also some very satisfying parts :).

I'm well within my goal, so happy to submit with the below splits. I spend more time on this combo than the previous, plus a lot more during online testing.

Nice, that may have have secured the place for you. I'll have another go later but I'm pretty much at my limit now :cheers:
