I verified some replays 👍, Now I figured I will provide some feedback, take nothing personally just my thoughts on the lap 👍.
Here's my replay folks......

Very nice lap mate 👍. If I was to be very picky I would say you lost a bit of time in the last chicane, a little late back on the power which cost you exit speed. Frankly, its extremely easy to do and its a bitch of a corner to get right anyway, especially when ahead of your ghost
.
Keep up that level of driving and you will be D1 in no time
Here is my replay. Quite happy with the result this week, although I think I could have slightly improved on the last sector.

Nice lap 👍
My little advice.
A little too sideways after turn 2 which cost you some momentum heading up the hill. I also think a few changes with your gear selections might return more consistent results. 3rd gear after T1 (not 2nd) for example, and selecting 4th earlier for the power onto the back straight. I found when using 3rd onto the back straight the car wanted to go sideways costing me time, plus it was far to easy to over rev the car and loose time upshifting to 4th.
I also think you cost yourself a little time braking for the last chicane, I found it much nicer to just simply roll off the throttle and turn in, then power through the turn. Its far too easy to scrub off too much speed and loose your revs by braking. In GT5 I try to get away with lift off throttle in those type of situations as its far easier to be consistent and keep your apex speed high.
Overall though it was a nice lap with solid lines 👍
I've attached my PAL replay, but am slightly worried about how close to the wall I am in the final straight. I spent a good 5 minutes checking it over and over again in photo mode and could always see daylight, and no noticeable drop in speed. However, I didn't know about the data logger, so someone may want to triple check it. I'm happy to be corrected.
Its too close for me to call, but since I watched it, I will give you my feedback on the lap.
I think you need to make sure your staying within the power band of the car, a few times you needed to downshift (first corners 5th, corner after back straight 3rd and last chicane 5th) and other times you took a little long to upshift (heading onto the back straight). Try to focus on getting your lines right. Outside / apex / outside, maximizing the track useage which in turn allows you to keep your speeds higher. Lines and car placement can make a big difference in your lap time even if your not braking or cornering at the limit. I try to figure out the lines first, then try to drive those lines fast, you dont want to be overdriving the car and ending up offline. A good example was when you ran a little wide in the tunnel turn before T1 which put you far too wide for that right hander afterwards and you had to slow down a lot and change to 2nd in order to make it which cost you a lot of time. Being a bit later on the power through the tunnel in order to get the car further left might have cost you .1 but that was a lot less then finding yourself offline at exit and needing to slow down and drop to 2nd.
Overall its a very tough combo and you did well to get the car around the track, Just try to focus on lines first, then driving fast 👍
