This is what Gravitron has said:

Well then there's 3 of us - He said that to me who asked: "Question: the green cobblestones in the last corner - How much car may I have inside?"

When you see this in the rules on a city track:

• All hard surfaces are track

...then it means all the run-off areas are legal. 👍

EDIT: Just watch out for walls!

Now I feel silly.

You are not alone

Don't be, it's much better to ask than have your lap disallowed 👍

 

[Nemo Niente]

Driving this car is like wooing a Victorian Lady, you know she wants it, she knows she wants it and still she has to balk and buck at every turn... :tup:

 

[GranTurismo916]

I finally improved.

29.783
57.233

 

[Nemo Niente]

I wish I could too...
I get a really good lap, stringing all three sectors together, I touch a wall somewhere so faintly I cannot here the bump, or I redlap...

 

[Argon]

New splits to slightly improve but almost a second quicker over the line....this is so much fun

29.909
56.759

 

[Eggstor]

Early go at it:

30.150
57.616

There's a lot of time left out there.

That's me!! I either kiss a wall or spin out.

Done some more testing laps to fine tune the set-up and, currently working best for me is: TCS 2 (Us old people need help to counter using x/o ) and brakes set at 2/8...it is locking up nicely into turn 2 and have managed to improve by half a tenth in S1...oh, not much is it? lol. Have also managed to find a better brake in/line through the 90 right hander. Have been quicker in both S1 and S2 but not combined (my best would be about 3 tenths quicker than I have been able to put together at once)...if I improve one, I mess another one up but am up on my overall time so am reasonably happy:

S1: 30.117
S2: 57.184

 

[Argon]

If anyone is struggling for a line around this track then this old video may help. This is not the last TT we ran at Rome but the characteristics of the car are a bit more like the Beemer i.e. old, unsteady and grumpy when pushed too hard....bit like me really

That's always the way. I find that it actually helps me to learn the combo faster because I know my ghost is slower in a certain sector so I'll usually end up going faster there and it just improves bit by bit.

That video really helps a lot. Thanks Mike.

Hard to believe you were ever in Div 5. Look at you now D2S.

Love the track, can see this one taking over my life this week..

 

[Mark_S]

Gave this another run, improved my lap and can see where I lose time.

Not sure if I can nail all 3 sectors together but thats the whole fun.

First split slower but faster at line

30.431
57.698

 

[ollie57]

Thanks Mike! It was short lived though. I gained a tenth at the line

29.639

Guess the time chasing begins now. I've always done good on the city courses with cars like this.

You're in the wrong division, that's what's wrong

My splits after a couple of more laps:

30.050
57.183

 

[Thematic]

38 laps. Nothing to show for it. For me the last corner is the worst.

Patience Be zen!! Oh, and there is no grip in that section (at least there wasn't in GT5...)
