Not too bad, it's only 7:20 here, remember that Boise is MST. I get up at 5:30 on weekdays.

We have to take the kids (dogs and cat) to the vet today, so I had an alarm set.........

Thanks. 👍 Be sure of I want that.

 

[EDK]

Thanks. 👍 Be sure that I want that.

And be sure that I have no control over it.

200 km today, but not improve
Can quite easilly find .1 in S1, can also repeat S3, but cant stick all sectors tpgether. Also S2 is killing me
Probably thats all for me.

It's funny (to me, at least). I did about ~15 laps last weekend at @EDK's place when we were cooking this combo up. Full disclosure, it really only takes 2 or 3 laps for me to 👍 a combo that's obviously fun.

Then I did Assetto on Mon & Tues, then the NA Jag@Fuji race on Wed followed by a 1hr online practice session on this combo, testing draft. 3hr epic @GTP_Nail practice room on Thurs, and then about 2hrs last night online in the beer room, before we started switching to other ideas.

First offline session last night was ~15laps, and I was only 0.1 faster than a week ago on Kev's rig. Woke up early (for a Saturday) and beat that by 0.4 at the line in another 15lap session, which was my only good run through T2 so far, with a saaaad T1. Tips from Kev and @mcsqueegy last night appreciated. So that's where I sit now.

Kev's rig is amazing, and I'm sure I would get used to it quickly with more laps, but there's a certain feeling when you get back on your own contraption. Kev's old T500 w/ F1 rim is still kicking, and its creaks and groans and notchy-ness are the feedback I was missing in the butter-smooth Fanatec.

EDIT: 1327km on the car, same one we used on Roamin' Ponies.

Night AND day: I basically knew at 0.3 seconds into the third sector I was botching it like it was my first try.

23.160
45.760

edit: that's quite the popular average speed (I wonder if the lines are the same) in the middle

 

[EDK]

Slower splits, faster lap.

We should call this Sidewalk Valley....my lap previously posted was a conventional lap that I can not better due to an un repeatable first sector (by me). Races are going to be fun.

Here is the new Panoz

The irony of improving before the update. Well, at last I have some idea now.
edit: oh, right, not before but quite soon

BB 4/10

The turn at tunnel exit is the one that did cost me so many good runs...it can really destroy a lap if you can't let the car mantain momentum trough that corner.

But the real ptoblem is: you folks are too fast.

 

[Mr P]

And I nearly failed to acknowledge these, from the master. Nice ones.

Haha definitely not master or it wouldn't have taken me so many laps to find some pace anyway the T2 is not the key to a good lap here.. it's the exit speed from the tunnel and keeping it through that damn last bend I reckon about .2 can separate a mediocre and a decent last bend.. a good split does help then the rest of the lap you start praying

btw my BB is 8/6 if I hadn't already mentioned 👍

Desperately seeking those .8 in T1.
Back tonight

 

[Napalm_LT]

I'm starting to hate this combo. 300 km today and no improvement again

Discovered that shifting point is way earlier then I did before.
"rushes back to rig"

 

[MikeleMei]

Submitted with these splits. Worse T1 & T2, but best lap time.
