Alright, here we go, first update:

27.230
1'01.263

Not the best T2 I've had, as the previous sector time was under 34 seconds, but I did manage to improve my lap by .6 on the line, so that last sector on my previous best really was horrible.
 
27.733
1'02.833

Trail braking the first two chicanes with no abs is soooooooooooo hard :banghead:

I've felt like crying many times ... :lol: ...

Learning a lot though, with the sports softs you can down gear so much more aggressively compared to last week, where the grip from the racing tyres would lock the brakes so fast, I had to down shift very slowly / late to prevent it happening.
Seems strange (strange enough that I find myself checking the menu to make sure abs is off..) that with overall less grip from the sports tyres, I can be more aggressive with the brakes and gears, I just thought it would be the opposite way round? Maybe its the drivetrain or racing brakes (Audi)... more testing required.
Also running standard brake balance, had a good play with it, but 5/5 seems to be the best (for me), don't know what other people are using, but if standard is the better choice then well done PD for having the BB set on a standard car right!
 
I am having so much fun with this combo. I drove for 2 hours last night and all I have to show you is some pictures! I can't pull three sectors together it seems, darn back to the track!!!!!!!!

Nice colour blue Al.

1.04 dramatically changed the braking physics, so now ABS 0 is much easier, possibly because of the update that you're finding this one easier than the Audi.
 
Mike is trying to make the week last longer.....it's passed Thursday already or at least I hope it is or I'm in some sort of groundhog day nightmare thing :lol::lol:

haha you are right , i posted that in a hurry this morning before going to work and look like i was not fully awaken... :lol:
 
27.507
1'02.274

I've got a faster T1 but a slower T3 in a earlier lap.

Still got problems with T2 to get under 1'02
 
Submission for week 2 is REJECTED!

The psn in the replay ' d' does not match your own psn 'hladas'

I can't figure out where the problem is:-(, please help guys
 
For a day job I am a musician. When I can't get a musical passage right I practice that one section over and over until I can't get it wrong. That kind of practice in driving would benefit me greatly.
 
Hi, quick question:
Does the best lap have to be from version 1.04? I'm pretty sure my best lap was still on 1.03 and I don't know if I got time to set another.

Also wondering about this. Mods have any input?

You wouldn't be able to compare the cut-out sector time with your actual sector time, though.

Gravitron
Fetchy is OPEN for business
Great, I'll do the transfer in a few hours.
 
Beer and I have made up and agreed it is the car and NOT me. :cheers: So I have some work to do in the next couple of days but here is my first submission.

27.834
1:02.717

I hope that in a month or two I will know the tracks better so I don't have to learn a car AND a track every week! I was used to all driving aids on, cutting corners, and punting cars into the corner before this. I have a long ways to go.
 
@Thematic, that's fine just a way to get to sector two or three and run it a dozen times in a row without having to go through the previous sectors. Whether or not for a 'real' time the repetition would help.
 
Knowing how the load times are in GT6, it would probably be faster to just do the whole lap again.:lol:
 
27.366
1'01.466

For over 2 tenths at the line (after making a dog's breakfast going into Parabolica). Let's see if I get some luvin' from Fetchy...

Breaking in some Astro A40 headphones. The improvement has gotta be them :)
 
Time submitted (and accepted) early again this week with no further improvements.

It was a difficult combo, where I never really found any kind of rhythm. I think two successive laps was my embarrassing record. :scared:

Best of luck to the rest of you still struggling out there. 👍 See you on the next one. :D

Using cockpit view and DS3.
This is close to my best effort.
The car is awesome nut I really hate tyre noise louder than engine sound.
