@millross I'd just sell it and rebuy a new one. I know some people I do league races with were having problems getting into tuning prohibited rooms even after doing the resets on tuning

I will if I can't submit one of my saved replays. I've got a couple more sessions in me, particularly on Friday when I will be mostly recovering from a hangover :)

I think I should be able to get 1'12.250 - but I see nothing more than that. So I've got to work out how to be awesome in T5 it would appear.....!
 
I actually ran a lap which was exactly 0.001 secs slower than my best :irked: Also I've binned some potential bankers... Maybe a 1'11.xxx in T4 is possible, but first I have to improve my current lap... So after an hour of running fast, but not improving it's enough for me today... Tomorrow or Friday will be the day (hopefully) :P
 
FINALLY starting to understand this one...don't slam back through the gears, let it coast a little before getting on the gas carefully:

19.683
34.700
49.966
1:13.833

My final sector wasn't anything to write home about...so hopefully I can get some more time on this one 👍

Interesting to compare our splits....you're 4 tenths faster through sector 2, and I'm 4 tenths faster in sector 3. My turn 3 wasn't bad in this lap so I must be blowing a lot of time in turn 4. Hmmmm....I'll have to put a bit more effort into seeing what I can get away with on that turn.

As for your sector 3 I don't think there's much to it other than exit speed on turn 4. For what it's worth when I get it lined up right I'm typically 61 mph 100% on the throttle, or maybe 62+ and 90% throttle, when I pause to view sector 2 time.

In my lap I did hit Graham Hill bend (Turn 3) pretty well (thank you GT Academy Round 1!) but I know I didn't exit Surtees (Turn 4) all that well, I've had much better there.
 
after 15 laps managed a
19.943
35.093
50.060
1'13.660

fun combo, I've not driven many MR cars. I hope I get to do the online race of this one
 
19.800
34.767
49.567
1:13.300

Got a bigger monitor (27"), much easier to see everything now.

Great combo, might try out the race this time.

Finally a really good lap :D @ItsAllAboutWins Now to the 1'11 in T4! :lol: No, to be honest I don't think I can string such a lap together, but I'll try. It's one single tenth I'd like to find in the whole lap.

19.367
34.284
49.000
1'12.034
 
Its in your t2. Just take it like you do t3.. around 66-67 mph

Race ya to 1'11 ;)
Yeah my T2 isn't really the best, although it seems to be very fast in the replay... Turn 3 is my weakest as it seems. Maybe turn 4 also still has something in it, so far I only tried to get the best possible exit, my entry is a bit too slow. So when I can get those 2 corners sorted, a 1'11 should be doable :)
 
Is it valid?

After A day rest A new 12 lap session and could improve but still could not counter steer as much as I should have. Happy with the slightly better splits.

20.008
35.192
50.325
74.542

BB 4/1 car is smoother in braking for turns 3 & 4
 
It's heating up, I've binned a 1'11.9 in T4 and a 48.8 in T3 :irked:
Tomorrow will probably be the last day for me to improve, as I'm too busy at the weekend and going on holiday on Monday. :crazy:
