Awesome splits, Phillip
Thanks Guido.
At least this replay goes past the finish line, tidy up the last sector now, I've done with T1/T2 hopefully I can get a faster line time that saves ok, thats the norm with me I loose in one and two, but gain a lot in the last sector.
Silly old 🤬 cant string them altogether, I get bored and start looking for the bugger and coffee bar.

Didn't know there were so many aliens on the planet. Perhaps Will Smith needs to be informed....

Daily workout complete and I got a McLaren 650s gr.4 this time 
No improved lap but have made some gains in 1&2. I found switching the brake bias forward helped in the big braking areas but did nothing for the final sector.
I’m way of the pace here,. Something about McLaren’s and Japanese tracks...

First few laps done. Been really enjoying driving Gr.3 cars on this track recently so I thought I would give this a try. Can see a mid .8 sector 1 and I'm sure 30.9 sector 2s can be done as I got a big kick of oversteer on the exit of the hairpin on this lap.

Still at BB+2... let’s me trail brake a bit more which suits my driving style of missing my braking points half of the time.
Another .200 at the line with a better last sector. More time to find in that last sector for sure.

I haven't posted times yet but have done a few runs and my initial findings for sector 2
CocaCola is about bravery and nothing else hit it hard and fast and cut that apex very hard. if the bollard is still standing you aint doing it right.
130R is a double apex and you need to stay tight to the inside and hit both apex's. I found shifting down to 3rd just before the second apex gave me a bit of extra grip and allowed me to plant my foot for the run to the sharp left hander. The left hander is really tricky as you don't want to hit the rumble too much it upsets the car, don't hit the rumble enough and you compromise the exit. It's a late apex to get the best exit.
Not sure if that's the best advice but it seems to work for me

Thanks Mike and Phil (pm).
I’m still going backward so I’ve parked it for now. I’m happy enough with my T1. T3 is okay (I hope!) but I just haven’t hooked up T2.
I can get out of the hairpin fairly good so it must be in the left-hander and the double’ right, I haven’t bettered a .4 yet.

Purple S1, Purple or bloody well close enough in S2, and absolutely butchered the first hairpin in S3 to only go up 0.01 at the end. Should have been not just the lap that I was aiming for but THE lap that couldn't be replicated but nah get screwed me.
I'm pretty sick of begging the tyre gods to grant me safe passage through corner exit on these stock diff settings, think I'm gonna pack it in well short before I stab something.
Was never going to actually catch Doodle, perfect lap would have got me within a tenth or so but this is nowhere near.
