edit: new time
will have to post a picture as the back left tyre is just and I do mean just touching the edge of the line at the exit of Acari so will have to make sure the lap is valid. Really frustrating only slightly overcorrected
Very sketchy I know but can anyone confirm this is legal?

That's just a bit too close for me to call @sems4arsenal
I'd suggest you run again, you might get a better cleaner lap with no doubt.

Sorry, but I am quite sure it is a dirty lap....

I found another tenth through T2 and kept it to the SFL but it's reaaaaaaally close coming out of Ascari. Like to the point where I considered asking if having the rounded outside of the tire above the red-and-whites is clean. 
I'm 99.5% sure it's clean but as Lucas said I don't want someone to have to spend an hour trying to frame-by-frame to verify. Back to the drawing board.

Does anyone want to share any tips regarding second sector, especially the Lesmo corners? Like "break early, drive clean, control throttle" or "try to slide the car while still controlling it, change to upper gear early to reduce wheelspin", or pretty much any tips like that!
In last weeks WRS I noticed that there was only so much I was able to learn just by myself, and then the tips started flowing in and they kinda lit some lightbulbs inside my head, and I was able to improve. You know, I don't think any of us would've learned anything in school if the teacher wasn't there most of the time.
Any shared tips and techniques for sector 2 will be highly appreciated by me, if that means anything at all.

Break early drive clean is the ticket, get as much speed as you can exiting della roggia (use the exit rumbles ), try to hug the inside for the first Lesmo and again get a smooth fast exit the 2nd Lesmo is a bit tricky dive a tad late and use abit of the green on the inside (get as much of an exit as you can)
the 2nd sector combined is really tricky so I suggest even if you blow the 1st sector keep going and get a feel of the 2nd sector.

I have almost eaten my DS3!
If the previous TT's were fun, this one is not! I had my first clean lap after 30 laps or something.
I don't think i will sign up for the race (if there will be one) if i cannot make 5 clean laps in a row.
anyway my first splits

GTP_ollie57 what a blistering 2sec T2 
Not even the Aliens could achieve that time. Might want to add a 1 to your minutes mate 👍

hahaa.. thanks.. missed out the apostrophe..
Got back at it and almost immediately took a huge chunk out of my time after learning a thing or two.

The line trough both Lesmos was a bit wide, and the reason for the low second sector was partly a tad too late braking for Ascari. Still I was waay ahead of my ghost on the back straight, but the last sector was tainted by too early braking for Parabolica, so only a marginal improvement in total time.
New splits:

Yes, the first sector was exactly the same, and the second was worse, but I got a proper third sector which gave me 0.28s at the line. In my previous fastest lap I somehow was an alien through Della Roggia, and even though I have been able to outrun that ghost in the first sector, I have never been able to stay ahead coming out of that chicane. Hence my worsened second sector + slided a bit too much through Lesmo 2.

If I hadn't just burned a bit short of $240 in an emergency replacement of my wheel (thanks for the sale, Amazon), I would. Instead, I get to wait for the new wheel to warm up after sitting outside in the snow a couple hours ("thanks" for that, UPS).I just drove a whopping 31 clean lap run on this combo, is there a leaderboard for that?
Sadly, not even a single improvement on any of the sectors.
Anyone looking to buy some inconsistency in terms of fast laptimes? I'm having a sale right now!
