My strategy in t2 was to enter the loop as fast as possible, lifting off fairly early to allow the car to be in the right position, which was very close to the red Tarmac in the lower part of the loop, then it was full throttle while staying as close as possible to the lower part of that loop, (near the red Tarmac) there's a part in the middle where the car started to drift out and you feel a bump, there you can do a hesitation lift of the throttle (80%) throttle and back on, the car rotates back closer to the inside of the track you keep it like that a bit till you see the exit then release the wheel and shift up to 4th. My best there was a .6xx unfortunately every time i hit a good sector 1 I would enter the loop too fast and run a bit wide there, which loses time almost immediately.
Edit: the entry speed at the beginning of the corner was also important, but not as much as the angle.

Just like Manu said you had to drop more speed to get the car in the right angle again and that cost you time until the end of the loop.
See on the LB that the top 2 drivers stay red so here are the approvals again

Hope they turn green now.

It is a pain figuring out the optimum system for checking replays. Once I cleared out all of my own replays I could upload every one I had downloaded which didn't have a duplicate number. It wasn't so bad once I figured that out.
It would be helpful if if everyone's PSN name were their name on the replay or in the "comment" section.
As for the week, I'm happy with my result. I was aiming to break into the 1:38s and didn't quite make it. A Top 10 would have been nice, but I'll take the -.56667 handicap. Looking forward to getting that more balanced out.
Looks like @alexamenos will be joining us in D2 once he removes the training wheels. Good run.
Proud for @RoeszaGT getting the D3 title.
Congrats to @Tuesday_Black for the D2 title and, of course, @mike_gt3 for lapping the field.
No promotions this week?

Thx a lot Baron!
For t3 all corners were important but the hairpin and the last corner were the most important, the last corner it was better to stay relatively close on Inside and use 2nd gear after the chicane, release throttle and wait for grip, then shift to 3rd and turn agressively trying to stay on Inside without abusing front grip. it had to be done relatively early to shave more time, slightly later would be a lot slower.
Look like all replays have been checked already!
that was quick! đź‘Ť

I wanted to check replays , may be i can give a try at reviewing a lap or 2 by7 answering to previous post.
That was a nice lap! lot of area we used the same line,
for the long right hand before the small hill in t1 you touched the curb on the first apex, i dont know if it was planned but its something to avoid it will throw the car on outside otherwise it was great!
then after the small hill the main difference is that you shifted to 4th gear, what that did is produce understeer and it thrown the car slightly to the right you had to downshift and turn quickly making it slow down after apex.
The approach there was keeping 3rd and try to run slightly on grass on left and lift slightly early, do the weight transfer off throttle and accelerate as you go past the apex ( as soon as possible without touching the wall on exit...) in my run the weight transfer was not perfect (its supposed to slide slightly) and i ran too much on Inside on the curb...
What happened next is that the curb made your car unstable and then you merged on Inside too early before the loop, when you tried to slow down for the loop entry your car was pointing too much toward the outside already, it slowed you down more and just to come back into the line it traveled more distance as well, then it was good , but after the bump you hesitated too long, you could have accelerate full throttle and turn more progressively toward the Inside very close and then just let the car go on outside to help, you would have gained 2 kmh on top of the hill.
You can see it in the video i posted, for t2, its mostly keeping left before entry , slow down as you merge on Inside, slow down just enought to be able to go full throttle really close almost up to the bump, it can drift on outside slightly (middle of track), then just before the bump lift and wait a little then accelerate and turn progressively close to the Inside and then let it go on outside even running half the car over the curb if needed being careful not running over it...
You had a great entry for the first corner of t3, very fast!
Then for the last part after the chicane you shifted to 3rd too soon wich produced a little understeer, you had to accelearate smoother and traveled more distance because of that, overall it was great!
You had a great lap just everything was done slightly late or agressively, for this combo and most stock car combo i like to see the front tire grip as a battery cell that will discharge when theres wear on the tire and recharge while you are easy on them.. did i just said that
That mean if you abuse the front tires before you really need them you will be slower if you still have to steer, i know it sound obvious but its always good to remember if you start wondering why you are losing time while feeling on the limit.
thats what happened for the loop especialy when you touched the bump at the end, the car got propelled on outside because the front was already too hot and you really had to abuse the tires to get back in the line after the bump, your speed on top of the hill was 187kmh, by lifting slightly before the bump you would have been able to merge on Inside and cut the travel distance a lot and hit about 189kmh on the top of the hill after the loop making you shave more time by running closer on Inside and hit more speed in same time
For t3 just before the hairpin you turned to the left to have a better line for exit, thats another place where its quicker to keep a shorter travel distance, and use 1st gear to have more turn-in, in this case i used the stronger rear brake bias, helped with the downshift to 1st and quickly releasing the brakes it make the rear kinda lose grip and just wait for the front grip before getting back into throttle.
For the chicane you entered slightly fast and turned too sharply using all the front tires ''battery'' wich thrown it off line and the car got pushed on outside after the chicane making it travel more distance without gaining more speed.
Slowing down just a little sooner before the chicane would have allowed you to keep Inside and keep the grip for the last part.
in t1 before the small hill theres a long right hand, you kept outside before getting in the corner (wich is logic to help keeping more speed) thats another area where shorter travel distance is better, in this case it was possible to keep it relatively close on Inside without losing too much front grip but it was tricky, and the last part of that right hand corner just before the hill was very important to run very close to the apex, you can lose a car lenght just by running a car width more on left... even though it doesnt feel like it will change something.
Sorry for the long read

I'll try to remember that in the future, though it's pretty easy to tell which replay is mine.
There's been an issue discovered where a couple long-term drivers had their handicaps regressed. Also, the first of the rookies have hit the end of their 3-race "trial" period, and that might be causing another issue.

GTP_otxjto
Ettick_You almost slided into the pitentry with A wheel to many.
GTP_Allibubba99
Division 3:
TP-35Lots of sideways action that's were you loose a lot. Scary moment after the jump.
Rookie:
Jpenn513You definitly need to wash your car.
Kart_Racer63Sorry I agree with @Eggstor you clearly hear a bump.
For myself i'm very happy with the win in D3 and actually starting to like this circuit but still hate the jump.
Going out for lunch now deserved it and i'm still a bit dizzy of looking at all those loops ending with a Jump.
Thanks for the advice lol. I actually ran about a second faster on one occasion but I forgot to turn the grip to "real" for the edge of the track and it got rejected. i was so mad

Yes.Just wondering. This was my first WRS. So I have to do 2 more to be placed in a division? Thanks!

Sorry, better late than never, yeah? Congrats to the winners and podiums.
Insane lap @mike_gt3. đź‘Ť I could easily be wrong but I don't think I've ever seen that large a gap between 1 & 2.

Thx Lucas @Gravitron ! and Matt @millross ! đź‘Ť
It was a very fun combo, as always!
Before running the WRS i would never drive on anything other than the 'ring, and now i have as much fun running other tracks because of this community đź‘Ť
