And we meet again, this time in D2B
I don't call anything bellow 22.0 bad start. As long as I get 21.xxx I keep going. I saw my first 1'11.4 and 1'47.7 yesterday.

But mostly taketh. We've lost one PS3 already, and if I had tried to get a decent S2/S3, I probably would have lost mine as well.

My best is still 1'11.300 T2 but I got the car tuned too aggressive now so the s3 is just too tough. I'm gonna go back to 5/13/7 diff tomorrow and see if I can make it work.

I liked Bart's tweaks to Baron's tune. 👍
But turning the driving line off meant I spent the majority of the night restarting to figure out turn 1.
A little ashamed, but the best brake marker I found was to look at the lap timer count to 1.000 and then 2.000 and then brake before it got to 3.000.
Just couldn't find a marker that stuck out.
But then I moved on to clean up the rest of the lap with a PB in T3:
21.717
1'10.783
1'46.567

I couldn't let sleeping dogs lie:

1:47.700
My Sector 1 and 2 were FAR and away the best I've managed by a significant amount! It's so satisfying to feel like an alien just for a few corners. I made the mistake of peeking at my T3 split and was so shocked I went a little easy on the final few corners. My submission has been accepted this time and so if I don't get to return to this combo I'm pretty satisfied 👍
I drive with the racing line on 100% of the time. I know it's unrealistic and probably lame of me but it adds to the number of markers I can use getting around the track and it also helps me to feel I'm correctly positioned all around the track. Not that I follow the line but staying either side of it and crossing over it at consistent points is helpful. I should probably lose that habit though.

If I was pure time-trialing I would use the line too, for the exact same reasons. 👍 I used it for the majority of GT's 1 through 5.
But in our online races, when you're following someone very closely into a braking zone, they are blocking you from seeing the all-important red part of the line.
So it's best to have markers on the sides. This is the first time I've had a "clock" brake marker though.
Awesome T1!
EDIT: Setting the clock to 17:55 puts the sun about the same position as it is in my avatar. But I couldn't figure out how to make the sunset all orange like it was in the Bathurst trailer that I clipped the picture from.

YES SIR!
Right back at'cha! I think this was the first lap where I braked early enough for the final turn in the downhill part. Still up to 0.5 to find for a perfect lap though. 👍

Such is the life of a time trialist. Always something somewhere.
You should stop copying my t1 splits. That's twice now. Get your own!
Now i gotta go find a new one.Have you tried turning on the turn indicator and counting after it starts flashing? Usually 1 1/2 to 2 Mississippi's will get you in the ball park.

Looks like I am struggling in t3. In t1 and 2, I am a little faster than some above me, but t3 has me over .2 slower than anyone above me, at the very minimum. Bit of practice needed I think.
Have clocked up 336 kms as of last night, and was over the moon at my LB lap, but t3 has confused me. Thought I was doing well through there. Must be losing too much speed over the hill at the very beginning, and the hairpin.
