New ones for me. Changed my rear springs to 19, rear camber to 1.5, and LSD to 8/28/15.

41.617
30.937
47.101
 
Another 30 minutes for me yeilded some very sweaty palms and the following
41.656
30.526
45.649
Still running Kev's gearbox and Baron's suspension but dialed a little crazy out of the diff. Not sure I'll get another run before the deadline so this might be it :cheers:
 
I knew there must be a shortcut in T3! :dopey: Where is it? :dunce:
Nice lap, Jon!


EDIT: Nevermind, I just got a 46.1xx in T3 with some bobbles...

Tiny bit faster to the end of T3, but with a decent final sector:

41.364
30.728
46.110

This was with Baron's tune. 👍

Aaah Jon.... I was about to congratulate you on an awesome 3rd sector. :ouch:

Nice job so far guys 👍 That probably sounds patronizing given my current lead but this is a hell of a combo... My mantra of "Thrash it mercilessly" really does apply here. I'm thrashing it half to death... I think the only places I'm careful is the hairpin traction zones.

Setup is still the same. Max springs is best but you have to keep a real neat line and avoid running over the kerbs round most of the track.... hanging a wheel in slows you down when you bounce out again.

I think I might be done with this one anyway... there's actually another few tenths out there but putting it together is nowt if not self inflicted torture. :P We'll see what the new combo is first. :)

:lol: yeah thanks Chris - I'm no expert around this track but am going better than I have done in the past. Good job by the way!
 
40.941
30.360
45.685

This is it for me. Lost a tenth in the hairpin in t3, but still one of my best. T4 was smokin', gained .362 at the line.

This was another super fun combo, great work getting these set up so well Kevin.
 
40.999
30.545
45.588

Lost .140 in sector 2 but the rest of the splits are close to my best. so this might be it for me.

Still, not bad considering you're not even back 'til next Friday :sly:

Haha, that was the initial plan, but had to come back for a meeting tomorrow morning. So had a long stint today after the motogp race :)
 
With Baron's updated tune, over 0.2s at the line, which means I had a bad T4...

41.880
30.932
47.396

Alright, much better T4, over 0.6s at the line!

41.764
31.106
47.140

I have a question before submitting, Are we considering the right side of the dotted line of the secondary pits as track?
If not, I don't have a clean lap...

Yeah, you're OK there. You can't mow the lawn before that point and expect to escape scrutiny, but otherwise, that's pretty much the line. 👍

Ok thanks I'll be submitting tomorrow
 
Updated splits for me. Same tune updates as posted last night, and more in this.

41.820
30.637
46.766
 
Gladly moving on to the LFA. This one is fun, for sure, but I think I'm not thrashing it hard enough. Best (lucky) sectors say there's only 0.5 left on the track for me, which is not much here.

I'll take that D2 brown best-T2 from you, Jon. :P

41.438
30.488
46.393

Thanks Kevin, Baron, Viper, and Chris for the tuning advice. I stuck with Baron's latest. 👍
 
Was unable to get another chance to run this one. I am all submitted.

Submitted with last splits. Gave it another try yesterday but was 1 second behind my ghost. My setup was way too tight but couldn't control the car otherwise.
Probably won't be getting GT6 until late december (If I can trust amazon at all) :ouch:
 
Submitting with my current pathetic attempt and moving on to a track that I have some understanding of! :cheers:

Thanks to Baron and Kevin for their tunes ('cos those are the ones I used)!

SOOOO, big thanks to Chris for sending me the Diablo!:cheers: And thanks to Daniel for offering 👍

Did I say last week that my driving's felt more consistent lately? Scratch that. Cape's 26 turns have exposed my hubris.

My current attempt at putting 4 good sectors together are:

42.613
31.824
48.559

There's more to find. If I get off work early enough, I might try for another hour or two. Then again, I may just move on...

Edit:

Moving on.

Submitted, thought I'd have time to run today but no chance. Im happy with my time, however I had some ideas on how I could go faster on the loopy part that I wanted to try out today, oh well :indiff: until next time. Goodluck guys 👍
 
I used Cats_PJs tune and slightly modified it to my driving style (great tune but too loose for me) and it helped quite a bit. I think there's still about .800 out there on the track and may try a bit more.

41.458
31.185
47.345
 
Most likely last run.
This is my last run! Submitting.

42.126
31.309
47.266

I'm done but I feel like there is a lot more left on the track.

41.256
31.183
46.536
 
Last tries...

41.679
30.884
46.847

41.266
31.240
46.836

Finals for me since I've run out of time.. My inconsistency here ended up really frustrating, lost at least half a second on each t2 and t3, but I hope pb t4 will make something up for the overall.. Good luck to all late runners!!
