It looks as though your settling into your GT4 pace lately. 👍
Keep it up and I smell a promotion in the not too far future. :)

My first splits from a short session.
Going to do a nice long session this AM, or untill I start yelling at the TV.
Looks as though I need to drop a second off my time also.

1'01.854
1'52.315
 
Well said Kenny, some very impressive times of late, Max. I can't imagine trying to do this combo with the pad.

Well, that's just what I'm doing, and finding it not much fun, let me tell you :scared:

Anyway, after 3 sessions I finally got some splits that are postable, though still way off the pace mind you...

T1: 1'02.459
T2: 1'53.750

Traction control at 4.

I'll be glad to see the back of this week :sly:

Well that didn't take long.
No improvement and really don't care to try again. :ouch:
I just don't have what it takes for these RWD cars.

Boooooo, :) Practice makes perfect Kenny. 👍

Phew, glad I got that off my chest.:dopey:

I just put in 2hrs straight of hotlapping without even getting up and couldn't improve. I've been 0.3 faster to Spoon and lost it there again. The T2 I have now is just at the absolute max of my ability. I can improve 0.2sec to T1 and 0.2sec across the line, but can never put it all in a single lap.:grumpy:

I know the feeling, my friend. I could not have put it into 'words' better than that. :sly:

Anyway, it's the same for everybody, so I guess we just gotta tough it out. Hang in there! 👍
 
Just for measurement, I may try this with the 6Axis, I'm way off pace.

Little improvement. Damn 130r and casio didn't go well. :mad:

T1: 1'00.601
T2: 1'50.571
 
Board Updated

Edit:

Updated with Paulie's best case scenario lap :lol:

Fast splits Paulie 👍

Edit 2:

Manuelos splits up 👍

Updated...... heading for a session with high hopes to see the light :sly:

!!!! Can't belive what I did, though it's a slight change only 1 step up, but started to get the line with this fat-lady :lol:

T1 1'01.610
T2 1'52.553

Edit:

Oh DB9, I love you, you so sexy, you sound so good, you handle so nicely and predictably, and you've shown my tuning skills some good exposure in your old DBR9 trim.:O:sly:

New Splits:
T1- 1'00.463
T2- 1'50.364

And a good sector 3 :dopey:

And with that I'm freakin' submitting.:lol: There'd only be a few thousandths in it for me now anyway, I have exceeded my expectations on this lap, and achieved what I considered to be a best case scenario.:dopey:
 
Great lap Paulie. Very fast.👍 Congrats.

Have fun in the WRS.:cheers: You might want to put in some serious time to catch up on this week though.;)
 
Cheers guys, and yes I think a lot of laps are required...there's some damn quick times bing posted!!

Lets see how I compare then :)

Well, I can see I'm going to have to spend a lot of time on this as my first few laps I found that this car just loves to spin with only small amounts of gas applied!!! I'm off to stick an egg under the throttle pedal now :rolleyes:

After doing 10 laps or so, I thought to myself, am I on the wrong tyres or something, checked, and no.

Ha no wonder James Bond slides the thing everywhere, there not doing stunts, it's just the way it drives!!

Failing badly in the English luxury Coupe. God it's heavy!

You're not the only one, the DB9 has to be the most cumbersome car on S2s I've driven on here!!

Going to keep at it though, I'm getting used to this heavy beast, but my splits are still slighly too :ouch:🤬:banghead: to be broadcast yet, :lol:

Don't be ashamed! I'm man enough to post a 1'53.750 which put me stone dead last on the board, and I'm in the same div as you. I suppose your splits can't be any lower than that :)

And if they are, please post them all the same (that way I'm off last place :sly:)
 
First proper session this week, good few hours yielded:

T1: 1'00.726
T2: 1'50.992

Could catch a bus between my car and the apex at hairpin and spoon 2, so I guess there's more to be found.

All the best
