I've tried both staying in 4th and jumping back to 3rd, I'm just wondering if the extra revs climbing the hill are useful? I've not noticed much difference to either approach but I am curious what others think?

Saw you were on last night. Get any faster?Hey I'm finding it a bit difficult to feel sorry for you killermiller, I surely would like that kind of distractions...
I hit my overall lap time goal last night. It's all gravy from here on. I plan on taking a few days away and giving it the beans on Sunday. Hoping to find another .4

Sorry for the double post fellows

I've got no idea how to take T1
Got one single .5xx there, but .7's are most likely atm...

This week is probably the absolute max of my skill. I know the track better than all the others combined and there is no tuning involved.Nah, and I don't feel I can get anywhere close to your Division 1 splits. Tell me you are getting promoted soon, won't you?
In GT5 I used Laguna as my test track. I compiled a decent sized spreadsheet of lap times across all PP levels with stock cars or cars with "Sport Suspension", etc. Nothing that involved tuning. I logged a couple thousand laps there, so I know it well.
Next week will probably be Motegi or some other nonsense and I'll fall back in line. I'm still not sure my time will be all that great in the end anyway. As the week goes, everyone gets faster. I probably peaked too early.
The "secret" I've found, if I have indeed found one, is do multiple laps with no resets. And you can ALWAYS get into the gas sooner than you think...point and shoot. Use the slippery tires in the rear to your advantage to get that thing through the turns. And get a good feel of the weight shift and get it settled before you hit the brakes.

To me there's loads of grip, so I wouldn't know where to begin; in turn 3 the kerb sometimes makes the car turn in the correct direction but it's the wrong type of corner for that and over the top anyway.
I do have a better handle on s1&2 than when starting, but 3 and 4 it's just academic. I know pretty well how much to brake for eg. the corkscrew, but execution is very hard.

I've seen the benefits of braking early, pointing the nose and really forcing it into Turns 3, 6, 9 and 10 full throttle. Getting it right at the edge where it wants to step out on you and the outside rear wheel slips just a touch. The only times you really need the brakes are 2, 5, 8 and 11. All other times the brakes are for turning, not slowing down.

While waiting for WRS entries to reopen, would it be alright if I just pretended I was registered
? This combo is quite fun.

Had a another go today. Not as much progress as I made yesterday. But still enjoying my choice to pick a manual gearbox. Here's me slight improvements.
I might have an other go tonight.

Wow, @crowhop, those splits are insane! 
Seems like you and @roamer2629 are just a bit too fast for me this week.

Epic frustration in this session. I had 14.8s galore and a single 14.7 (and 53.20x!), all binned, mostly in the corkscrew but one on the final corner, I just drove clean off track in a fit of stupidity.
This lap had an epic T4 but a crap T2, overall I nudged half a tenth more out of it :-)

Oops.. I've seem to have dropped something..
Hmmm
I would like to recite a favorite childhood song of mine, sing along if you know the words. Goes a little something like this...
One of these things is not like the other...
MAZDA MIATA SECA!!!!
Goodnight.
Soon as I get a 1'14.9 split and a good T3 I'm calling it a day! It certainly won't be me going for the win, I'll leave that to you, Dennis or someone else
