@mcsqueegy @jammy21 Almost certainly most people - without both the Logitech wheels - wondered why this would be.

Kevin's comments have had me wondering all week about what week 178 will bring... A suzuki swift around suzuka? Or something like the time we ran a Fiat 500 abarth around I think it was the mini matterhorn, my first week competing that one.
I love the anticipation of a new TT

Might be a tip to look at the RL calendar - there's something huge next weekend

Excuse my ignorance, but what's the RL calendar?

Slower splits - faster lap. -0.2

Real life calender .

 

[Bertracer]

It can

Real life calender .

It can only be Le Mans!

 

[epic_apri_39]

Probably a GT like the Ford GT or Viper as we had Group C last year.

To me it's that with G27 you could change to wheel rotation see this thread what I mean.

Ah, okay, my wheel just automatically does that, but the feel/resistance isn't the same at lock for 900 degrees and anything less.

 

[Bertracer]

Found about 25 hundredths at the line....
Keep binning 11.xxx first sectors so I'm gonna keep running

In total found a tenth more this evening, but first sector splits have gone backwards! This makes it extremely infuriating, someone talk some sense into me, please. Some nonsense about how splits mean nothing and it's all about the final lap time, etc

@Bertracer You never heard of diminishing returns. 👍

Joker.

The higher up the divisions we go, the more likely we are to hit points of diminishing returns. Im only at d2 Silver so the diminishing returns up in alien territory must be sky high... but then again, it takes an alien less time to get to a better time than a d2 silver runner... Its all too much for me to contemplate now

Been out of town and only been able to give this about an hour so far, hopefully put a few laps in tonight. I started on MT and switched to AT. Anyone else give up on MT? Can't really shift by engine noise so I guess most folks are simply memorizing the shift points around the track after a few laps?

 

[abrunet85]

Just realized the Grip Reduction on Track Edge was set to Low instead of Real, so my splits are no good. Going to see what kind of times I can come up with. Sorry.

Man I'm so glad I decided to browse the WRS section tonight. Didn't want to miss out on this! Got these after a quick de-rusting session. 3/3 brake balance. There's a good .15 left in the first two sectors (I think a big twitch on the second turn caused that thanks to the bumps) but the ending was fantastic!

Gosh, Doodle not seen you since forever! Great first splits - I wont be close to these.
Am going to have to try the 3/3 BB though... What would be the difference between that and the 9/10 im currently running?

Thanks! Nice to see you too. I think that would make it easier to lock up the brakes. Anyways here's a small improvement.

I've seen a low .7 in the first sector but I think that was caused by a really aggressive line that hurts a lot for the following turns.

 

[abrunet85]

New Splits with all correct settings. lol

Pretty close to my limit on the first two sectors. Perhaps, if I can find the time for one more session, I could knock off another .100 if I'm extremely lucky, but I don't think that will happen.

The final sector however, just keeps on giving. Just when I believe I've cracked it, I find more meat on the bone.

Not winning material, but it'll be up there somewhere.

I would've been satisfied with this lap if S1 had not been so bad.

 

[abrunet85]

Last ones for the night. Did better with the correct settings on.

Still, anything in the 11.xxx is pretty rapid mate

And on lap immediately after this one I had a .467 T2 then proceeded to crash on the final turn
