I tried a custom gearing but didn't like the shift points, was having trouble finding right gear, but what you say makes a lot of sense, I will give it a try tonight. That may be some of my issues is keeping the gear too high and not enough pull to have fast exits. Thanks. 👍
I have noticed that about some of these curbs, the curbs and I may have had run in once or twice already.

It is really frustrating that after all these updates the replay bug it is still not fixed. Another good time lost becase of it.

Latest splits - chipping away at S1 & S2 times but more time found in S3 giving nice improvement at the line.
More laps to be run over next few days as clearly more time to find.....need to also reset goals as already passed them !

Found 7 tenths over the line, 3 tenths off overall optimal. No changes to setup. Don't think I'll be getting that much laps done for this one, not as much as previous weeks anyway.

Decent improvement in the final sector but still a bit off my optimum.

Here is my shot at 5 minutes of fame. If I get it in soon enough, should be at the top of the board...

I found something that really helped me. This community has been so helpful and sharing, that I want to also.
This car has a very, very wide power band. I have been playing around a lot with the gearing. Not much seemed to help at first until I started widening out the gear ranges so I didn't use as many gears. I was using 4 gears only (3rd through 6th), but wanted to find a way to try only 3 gears.
I found it. I set 1st gear to 102mph, 2nd to 130mph and 3rd to 160mph. I only use those 3 gears. So, believe it or not, acceleration from 60 to 145 is 0.3 to 0.4 seconds better than stock or any other combo I could come up with. It is unconventional I know, but try it.
So less shifting and better acceleration...works for me.

Very fun combo.
After a couple of daily workouts on almost default settings I switched to @shoenboggie setup. 👍 Thanks a lot for sharing.

Ok I took you at your word.

Just managed to get this past the line before it cuts out with that fade thingy. and I did 20 laps after this before I saved it, so going to the first T1 doesn't guarantee you'll not fall victim to this bug.

Glad it's working for you Larry, gearing is all down to the person where they like to change gear. But for me I found the custom box gearing ok, I just moved the final drive down to 3.090 just to move my changing point to a place more suited to where the corners came.
