As mike kicked me out, I snuck in the side door and I'm back in "The One Second Club"

Wow, this puts me ahead of all of D4 (for now), imagine! It's a first, I believe... Lost some in the last sector, though, 0.16s at the line.

More and more often, I can take the hump flat out, but still not a majority of the time...

As soon as I think I am catching Lefty, he takes it to another level. I have seen a few .7s, so improvement is possible.

Big improvement thru t2 but lost half of it with a not so great T3.

Nice job 👍
This sure is a fun combo and I hit this moment today that everything made sense. I shoved down my showz and my hole card is just head spinning. I'm at the edge of traction and this track just keep screaming "Come here"

So this morning I nailed a lap that I thought was perfect, submitted it to Fetchy only to discover I'd been running with a stage 3 engine upgrade instead of a supercharger...aaaaargh!!!
So after fixing my stupid error and losing about 7hp in the process, I actually found the car a bit easier to get around the course and instantly hit some decent consecutive laps...however, I couldn't nail the perfect one:

Definitely happy with the first two sectors but I did lose about 0.1-0.2 in the final sector. My hands are aching now and I don't have the stamina to hunt down those last two tenths so I've submitted this one (and had it confirmed correct by fetchy
)
I have to say, this particular combo has been really fun, working out how to set up each corner was a hoot!

After my better time with the line on the other day I had a go without it and beat it again. I watched the replay and I hit every apex. Now all I've got to do is learn how to go faster on the proper line. If I try to go faster I'm missing the apex again. This combo is great as I'm really learning how to drive the car instead of bullying it around. If it's not the speed that makes you fast it must be the braking and accelerating points that make a difference.

Thanks buddy.
After making sandcastles with no ocean in sight for two hours, I saw your splits pop up and immediately smashed my previous best by 0.4. 👍Felt like a loooot of coasting in the final turn though, so I could be off there.

Thing is it didn't feel any faster than any other completed laps I'd done. It really is a matter of keeping it smooth and pointed in the right direction.
A little partial throttle in the turns helps a lot too. 👍
Glad it's not on SH tires, Chris!

Session 3 gave me 0.350 at T2, which looks good on the board. 
But that lead was reduced to only 0.027 at the line.

Above submitted and accepted. Had 2 more 20 minute sessions, but they didn't give any improvements.
These days I usually stop after session 2 or 3 when I hit that first point of diminishing returns. But with these new tracks I see every lap as money in the bank, improvement or not. It'll hopefully pay off next time we hit Big Willow.
Good luck to everyone. See you on the next one.

Ian slow down, man. 
Too late for that, I guess. 👍
I don't know how you guys do it?!
