Sorry lads not had much time recently to be able to assign to GT5P, infact I missed last week altogeather which was somewhat dissapointing.
Managed to get a quick half hour in on Week 26 this evening though. Came up with,
T1 - 1'01.273
T2 - 1'52.138
Time to come, will find time for another stab later this week.
Cheers,
Mav

I have to say, having completed 5 tentative laps this morning in a very brief taster session in the DB9, when everything goes to plan it's a beautiful combo and incredibly satisfying.
I did however make tonnes and tonnes of mistakes in my first tester laps (hence only 5 laps completed!) and foresee an incredible amount of difficulty for me this week. Suzuka is definitely the final frontier when it comes to pad/wheel transition. Turn 1 is just a massive pot of possibilities at the moment: Too wide gravel, too tight inner gravel, too slow early apex, too fast wide exit. This was so much easier on Sixaxis I must say. This is such a complex corner, I am watching the speedo, watching my line as I continuously turn in, trying to nail an invisible braking point for the second apex, trying to gently come off the brakes...man.
Congratulations to the top D2 runners for their incredible times already. I'm very far from being able to post any splits, but I am really looking forward to my first proper session.
All the best

Cool, Congrats mate...Sure feels nice with the H-Pattern
as for the hustle of when to break, when to turn and when to hit the gas i totally agree with you, I'm in the same problem been a month since i had it now 
Board Updated
2nd session came out with nothing all the improvements i saw T1 1'51.7xx and wasted coming out of spoon
Edit:
Board updated, Andy...You don't suck mate, if we were running this event on free run and not arcade mode it would have been different, the car needs a lot of toe out at the back, more steering angle, ABS+2 (I like to break late
) and the most needed thing loosing weight...Damn that car is too heavy 
I keep loosing the tail coming out of spoon

I've started to shout at the TV now.
O.3 up at T1, good hairpin, then binned it at Spoon.
0.3 up at T2, then wimped out through 130R and lost it all by the time I reached the chicane.

I'm the same Duke.
0.3 up at T2 to my fastest lap and only beat it at the line by 0.001
been hitting 130R fine and just flying through saw the big blue letters come up and under 1'52 and for some reason just wimped out at 130R. At least i've broken that 1'52 with a clean lap.
T1 1'01.268
T2 1'51.731
