little quicker at the line, spending to much time Air born in sector 2, but good fun. Calm down now Phillip keep the wheels in the dirt.

Thanks for the nice comment Mikey. Still not getting the perfect apex on turn 1 after 10 laps so far. .8 or .7 is there but like always I'll just 🤬 up some where round the lap and drop it.

Right do another couple of laps and that me for now.

About. 3 of my fastest in the race. A whole second from where i'm aiming.

Using +2 and 2nd a lot more than before. Shifting when the rev bar is mid way

was just settling down to a few laps with the footy on tv2, sent a message to my sister reminding her Wales were playing, 30 seconds later when i got booted out of the psn I remembered she uses my sky go on my old ps4

Might be my final time, every time I'm up at T2 I stuff it in the last section scrubbing speed! same old story boo hoo the last couple of tenths are beginning to grind on my sanity

GL to all still running this 👍

oops dropped a little in T1 but made over a second at the line so I'll go with that

Very nice improvement Phillip...👍👍

 

[RuddRacer]

Just a fraction faster in both sectors than my previous. On the plus side I did see a 17.xxx T1.

You did find your way into the 44's 👍, not sure I will ever come close to finding that.

I wasn't sure if I would ever find the 44's in sector 2 but what helped me was starting a session and making myself run at least 10 laps before quitting. This allowed me to slowly build a faster time in sector 2 as well as overall...I could watch the current lap time + (red) / - (blue) and gauge where I could pick-up time and where I was losing time. On the WRS online races yesterday, I was getting faster as the laps & races clicked by...

I'm with you Larry, i have to run a lot of back to back laps before I can get in the groove, people who can jump in and lap fast right of the bat amaze me

Had a long go with this during maintenace last night and managed

Not quite sure how T2 happened, carried some crazy speed through the speedy left after T1 but on watching the replay again the rest looks mediocre

Broke out the wheel for this one as well as the combo seemed tame enough for me to run some OK laps, turns out I simply can't trail brake effectively with the controller as I was quickly seeing 18.0 and a few 17s in T1. Sadly I can't touch the controller in T2 when the quick weight transfers come into play.

This helps me too, I've been doing at least 20 laps each stint. Maybe just need a few more sessions.
To help me focus my efforts were you loosing most of your time (2nd sector) at the 1st left hand turn or during the slower esses technical part?

First, I had to get consistent on the first left hand turn...I could carry more speed than I thought and adjusted my line to miss the bump in the middle of the road...started the entry earlier and a bit wider and back on the gas quickly. When I do it right, the car just shoots through that turn...👍

Taking the esses fast starts at the big jump...once I started to take the jump a bit slower and having my car already pointing in the direction I wanted to go before I hit the jump allows me to keep it tight and not drift wide towards the fence. Now I can set up the entry to the esses and manage the line with the gas pedal...I basically take every turn as tight as I can while keeping the speed up.

I keep aiming at the barriers/ trees/ hay bales on the various turns, turn in early, lift or brake slightly to get the car pointed correctly and then mash the gas pedal and hope I don't hit anything!

I have one or two laps good laps per session...the rest are a sea of red times!

I hope this helps!

Well, I've almost found my two seconds, and I know I can go even faster. After around 80 laps of this circuit I've still yet to get turn 1 right (there is a 17 in there somewhere) and the second sector continues to be a pain. But it's coming together, and I will hopefully hit my target (and not the wall) by the end of the week.

Thanks! confirms what I suspected, I need to work on execution!
