First of all, I forgot to say in my last post: Happy Anniversary, WRS! It's mind boggling this has been going for 15 years, thanks to everyone who's made this possible. 
And a great time for me to join as a rookie, with such a special event.
Now, I don't suppose this is legal, is it?

I've been floating around in all 3 cars... trying to pick my class based on the field, honestly.
2 clean runs out of 5 in the 919 upto S9 put me at 3:58.5
Can't recall my 911 but I believe it was respectably in the 4:40 or less region.
Cayman has taken a boatload of my time only to get to a 4:51.8...
As it stands I know I will run the 919 in the feature race, but time trial looks like a different story.

Bit of an improvement on the first 9 splits, but a massive gain over the line. Still loads of time to find & a bit of consistency on turn 1 would be nice, I’ve seen a few low 19’s in sector 1 but they only happen once every 10-15 laps

How much free time do you have for? 10-15 lap stints?
I hit 3 consecutive 19.x first sectors, but then would mess it all up somewhere on that course. If I hit half way with no mistakes I start to get conservative so that I don't ruin the lap, which is costing me a lot of time. Plus flying down the back half of this track in 7th gear is scary.
My palms were sweaty and heart was racing after an hour run last night. Had to play something else to calm down enough to go to bed.

The 10-15 laps aren’t in the same stint, I only ever manage about 5 or 6 in a row then like you I have to take a brake to try & get my blood pressure back down to a safe level
I’m not sure these first 9 sectors give any indication as to what the final standings will be as I always seem to make up the majority of my time in final sectors.
The high speed sections of this track are such a buzz in this car, though I’m not sure the sparks coming out of the back of the car on the downhill part at 190 mph is doing my chassis any good

Just wanted to say @GTP_Dutchy, thanks for the tips! I ran 2 TT laps and saw a major difference. I see an extra 3 secs easy!
@Fastas sorry I didn't respond. My wife came home and I was talking to her. Unplugged my headset.

Slight improvement. Getting bolder. Need to go watch some HGTV to calm down.

After giving each of the 3 cars an extended audition I'm going to go with the RSR 911 despite the 919 being a more exciting to drive. Here are my initial splits no thanks to the winter weather and power outages that have kept me from turning any laps today.

First offline splits in the 911, I thrashed the HELL out of it last night in @GTP_Nail's Ring Rats room (had been thinking Cayman before that, but the practice ended up being LMP vs Gr.3). We practiced the start procedure, and had a shootout with fellow Blind Rat @mr_lab_rat. 
Way too careful after seeing the first half of the lap, so still multiple seconds should be possible at the line. The optimal here is so cool, and worth doing the full laps for (unless you like data entry like we used to do in GT5/6). If you ruin a lap early, just hit the rest of it at breakneck speed and test the limits!

@Gravitron nice to see you back on form mate. I better get going and find some more time or get run over

It gets difficult to hit marks sometimes at those speeds.
I have been taking tips from @GTP_Nail, @suprajef, and @GTP_Dutchy .
Ned told me to find my areas that I am good at and focus on them. He said no lap is going to be perfect.
Jeff and Kevin have been showing me better lines and gears to use.
