Getting close but left some room in the final sector with these:
28.038
1'03.021

To get competitive times you have to do stupid things that are on the edge of madness. I should have picked the Neon.

Another quick sesh and another half second - no more than a few tenths to be gained using the stock rims for me now.
B/B 7/8
The 1st downhill chicane was giving me a mental block, I had to force myself to turn in and believe that the understeer would keep me clean

First half hour session, using BB 4/6.

Weight transfer is crucial to get right.

Awesome combo @Gravitron , I gave this a go earlier today and forgot just how much fun the reverse layout is... especially at night 
Had somewhat competitive splits lined up but my PS3 has recently developed a nasty habit of freezing after I restart ruined laps more than a few times
therefore I couldn't save any best laps!
I suppose I could run this again and just do 50 laps in succession instead, we'll see how that goes

Slightly messed up final sector.
Time for some 1" bigger rims.

Right, thus time, I'm ready. Forgot to submit week 40, and didn't have any time for week 41,but now think the rust is off after a few months.... I'm thinking bb is crucial here?
First splits after 15 laps

Havent figured out the little downhill hairpin, im assuming use as much curb on the left on entry to gain as much turn in sd possible and use trail braking before banging on the power just after the first apex? & the second to last tight left hand hairpin . Do I need to aim for an early apex there?
Think I'm running 3/4 bb

I think you might be running this in the wrong direction Bert 
It's Apricot Hill Reverse.

Are you sure that T2 is correct? If it is you just set the fastest T1 to T2 delta on the board 👍
Cheers,
Kevin
More likely a typo on T1.

Lol thanks for the vote of confidence. I'll check of course. Could well be.More likely a typo on T1.

Ran 1 hour in a row to get some consistancy in. Will do this for every day now, restarting after every second lap is no fun I'm also planning to keep doing this for every TT from now on, as it worked pretty well. 👍

Do you restart to get better S/F speed or your PS3 acting up?

Arghhh the cursed week continues: Please disregard my splits, sports suspension. Bought new car, been telling myself what an 🤬 I am for not making sure. I was suspiciously fast
Will post real splits as soon as I have some.
Lucas can you erase those for me please? Thanks 👍

It's OK, I'm here, splits are gone now. Good luck running it stock. 
Now we just need to find out what's up with @Bertracer's splits.

Thanks for the tip. It would be nice to break into 27s at T1.

Yup, it's driving me crazy.
I'm hitting 120/193 if that helps.

So after running this combo with cm/cm after the game unknownly to me swapped my tyres out I put the softs on the front and did a 38 lap run and got my first competitive splits.

I think he just mistyped 1'04.3xx as 1'03.4xx but I'll let him confirm.
I'm hitting 120/193 if that helps.
I think I get 192 on my normal lap but this one will likely be decided by thousandths (like most FWD combos) so I'll take whatever advantage I can get

If your only doing 120/193 on the s/f straight how am I hitting 126/202 that's a 5% gain in speed just on the straight alone
