Still not able to complete a blooming lap with a 12.0 first split even had a sub 26 at t2 and stuffed it . But another 6 hundredths off at the tape 👍.
Taking a break for lunch, fresh air and to give my poor, bleeding ears a rest . Still aiming to take off another 2 tenths before deadline .

y poor, bleeding ears a rear

A rear? Try lowering the volume for this event.

Still aiming to take off another 2 tenths before deadline

You can do it. 👍 I'll try the same for one hour.

auto-incorrect (fixed 👍).
It's not the volume that's the problem, it sounds like I have a mosquito buzzing in my brain .

Here's hoping 👍. Good luck to you my friend .

Yes, I know. Still lower the volume (almost to off). I felt better after doing that.

How do you do that with slower splits?
edit: Maybe typo?

 

[abrunet85]

Slower T1 but quicker everywhere else.

12.684

[Thorin Cain]

No typo. Just that little bit better in the last 3 turns than previous lap .

 

[Thematic]

edit: I need to figure out turn 4 if I am to improve in a reasonable timeframe.

I can't drop this - 0.58 seconds is trivial to you?

Half an hour down, 15 ms gone.

Well, not a typo....just a silly mistake. 58 thousandths then . My bad, sorry for causing your brain a little more fatigue than was necessary .

 

[abrunet85]

What time does week 178 start?

 

[Thorin Cain]

12.149
26.232

0.011 seconds away from my revised target but 0.015 closed than I was last time 👍.

One more session to try and improve or I'll be submitting this one.

Good luck all .

Edit: 40+ more laps, no change .

 

[epic_apri_39]

Submitted and accepted. Not the best of laps but I'm happy.

 

[abrunet85]

Got my fastest T1 and T3 on this one.

Go on mate you can do it!

 

[Bertracer]

New splits, only a bit found at the line, like 0.026 found. Was slow thru the last corner so gonna stick at it!

11.867
25.800

 

[Bertracer]

Ok this is scary...Found nearly two tenths at the line with these - obviously a slower first sector, but quicker middle sector and much better last corner...May submit these.

Submitting, was aiming for a bit more than a tenth* more at the line (after going a bit faster through sector 2), but I think I'm happy with this.

*Edit: okay, more like two.

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?

Just seen this one buddy! Spending ungodly hours of the morning re reading this thread
What race view do you use? I never run a tt in anything but MT, I just can't see how it wouldnt be quicker that AT (someone who knows better feel free to disagree though)

I race in normal, so all I see is track, this gives a good sort of subliminal view of the rev meter at the bottom, for this one i was shifting when the needle hit the red line, or just before it, I can kind of see and hear both those things happening so it wasn't really an issue for me.

I think it would be much harder however if you drive this from the external view, as I remember that one is really hard to see the rev meter and also it would sound different!? Like not as Loud? Maybe I'm wrong though.

I use the cockpit view, nothing external. Bigger issue for me is using a DFGT wheel and the 900 degree rotation with flippy paddles makes it hard to get on the shifter through some of the turns. I was figuring, probably incorrectly, that just concentrating on my lines and not worrying about shifting would at worst even out. Maybe cost me a few tenths but margin of error in the rest of my driving is multiples of that.

Maybe give bumper cam go, I find it really helps as you get the little red dot flashing at the red line, I also drive with the DFGT, my first and only wheel to date... Might post my current set up as it's a bit ridiculously bad
