Im a bit confused that everybody is far from my first sector 25.339

Rounding error. For @roamer2629 all of his car weights are shown in lbs and so he had to do a manual conversion....I'll update the OP

It's a start, i think being a little cheeky in the S's might give more time

Yup, that's it. Thanks Mike.

 

[Fastas]

Decided to do some long runs, 25 laps at a time, to see where my optimal is. I lost my best lap by running a quicker but dirty lap later in the run.. lesson learned!

From another run:

25.415
27.914
18.666

Still plenty to chase.

 

[Gadge]

Lap time submitted, might have another go at it, when I have free time looking for work.

BB +3 and driving it like it’s a rental.

I’ve been faster in S2. Can’t seem too keep it on the track when that happens. Just need that one miracle lap where all sections are fast

 

[lilcat89]

Here’s something I’ve been wondering since I started. Are all you guys running the base tune on these TTs or tweaking your own tunes?

 

[RuddRacer]

I was slightly slower in the first 2 sectors but made up for it with a better 3rd sector.

@lilcat89 We are required to use the default stock settings unless it specifically states otherwise in the event details.

Thanks, starting to get the flow of the track now, only took me 1,000 miles

No tuning unless stated in the OP.

 

[dranddad]

@lilcat89 hi are you new to WRS if so you'll find we all stick to the OP, if anyone does show odd times or wrong tyres / another change in car setups, administration team soon notice these things.

Hope you enjoy WRS

I think a lot of us are in the same place. S2 can be a lap killer. If I’m ahead of my ghost I mess it up almost every lap in S2.

Oh my, I just broke 100 miles last night for this one. I will have a bit more time for these once Winter really sets in. 100-150 miles is all I can get in if I’m lucky.

Great times you have there. 👍

Yeah it's hard to find time when you have very busy private lives. I take my hat off to guys like you that manage to find any time at all to put laps in.

I find that I can only run 20-25 laps at a time or I start developing bad habits.

 

[MikeyLCR]

Night off last night due to square eyes from computers all day, blimey do I have some work to do! Good splits guys!

That's strange, usually it's after 15 to 20 laps that gains start to be seen. I would suggest starting by running a safe, clean and tidy lap, even if it's slow, and then try to increase the risk gradually. By that I mean adjusting your braking points and apex speeds until you find the limit.
That said, we are all different and that approach might not suit you. But over the years most fast guys have told me that's the way they do it, and I agree with them, so I thought it could help you too 👍
