I think you found your braking point for turn 5, right?!

 

[The Grim Reaper]

I don't know if this is what's happening for you, but S1 here is similar to Monza where if you brake too late for turn 4 you get a faster S1 time but lose time at the beginning of S2 with a compromised turn 4.

I’m actually already on the brakes as I pass through S1. I’m trying to take a tight line into turn 4. I think it’s a balance of killing the understeer and also getting your foot down early enough to get a quick exit.

I got super nervous in T3 so we'll see how good the lap is overall. Maybe it helped by keeping my foot off of the accelerator

 

[dranddad]

Second clarification please, three worst or should I say three closest.

This one was air born is that still legal

This one I had to wipe the sweat from my forehead

Edit:

Don't matter now I've just gone faster, but the pictures do look pretty. with the curb reflection on the butt. And silver pipes

[MikeyLCR]

Glad you've gone quicker

I would have said 1 fine, 2 tight but in, 3 omg hanging on by a gnats 🤬

 

[dranddad]

Thanks Mike.

It was fine till my near side wheels went over that concrete hump and that pulled me over, I was dragging my foot out the door to counter act it going more.

They were three consecutive pictures, you can see how the rumble makes the tyre bounce air born then come back down in the last shot.

It was my quickest T2 of .027 but not my quickest last sector, I knew I would have more in the tank but that was still not my best last sector. Thanks again for your input.

 

[Gordy749]

Sorry about that...

No problem. It was awesome to see you get back to the front. I tried hanging with you to see your lines but you’re too quick!

I think it is safe to say that you are bonding with your new wheel setup...👍

Great Splits Guido!

It took some time to get the right feeling, but now it works fine... 👍

Its not going well 🤬

On the bright side, you have two tires in contact with the track. That’s a legal lap

 

[Gravitron]

This one was air born is that still legal

At Least 2 Tires must be in contact with track at all times (See image below).

• In situations where contact with the track is not possible because tires are airborne (above the ground), then the run is only legal if at least two tires in-line would have made contact with the track if the car were not airborne.

Ah that lap was just illegal. New splits a tenth slower in the first two but a tenth and a half found in the final sector for a gain at the line. Hopefully get another go at this this weekend. Every hundredth is gonna count!

Me again guys, a knoob question, how do I submit the replay to fetchy, PS4 doesn't seam to take VHS cassettes (and I'm old so new technology confuses me)

Saving Replays, Viewing sector times and Submissions:

• You need to make sure you use the 'Save Best Lap Replay' (ghost replay), not the 'Save Replay' (See pic below).
• Before saving your replay ensure that you continue running after completing your fast lap until at least the end of first sector. This will ensure you have a complete replay.
• To view your best lap replay, go to 'My Library' and watch the replay from there using the 'Replays' option.
• While viewing your Replay, enter the live timing screen to view your sector splits. You will need to do this after your car has passed the sector markers to see it listed.
• Simply post the splits that are shown in the live timing screen, and our Fetchbot will parse them and add them together for your total sector time.
• When saving your fastest lap replay please ensure that you watch the replay to the end and that it displays your full lap time. Any replays submitted that do not show the posted lap time will result in a DQ.
• Remember - When you submit your time you're also declaring that your run is 100% clean. We request replays for the purpose of verifying to all those concerned that the drivers claim is correct, which in turn safeguards the integrity of the driver, and just as importantly, the WRS. The golden rule is to check your replay before submission. If you’re still unsure, check it again, ask for a second opinion and if you’re still undecided, run the lap again.

(Best Lap Replay Save)

Pretty soon I'll have quoted all of the OP.

 

[Gravitron]

Oops I guess that didn't really answer the question. When the Unofficial Results thread is posted after the deadline, it will have these instructions:

Sharing Your Replay:

• Go to Your Library, locate your Submitted Best Lap Replay, and share it using the in game menu features.
• Be sure to share your replay PUBLICLY for verification, so that any member may find it.
• When sharing your replay this week, please use the following share tags to make your replay easy for other members to locate

The Online Races are really helping me again this week...👍

I threw away a .1xx T2 during a 70 lap session yesterday but luckily I got this one on lap 14 today and the last sector was fairly solid.

@Argon are the red sausage curbs considered part of legal track?

Unsure if it would void my lap but I assumed that the sausages were part of the rumbles and in play.

Just a tiny bit faster....

We typically don't consider them as track. It's the same situation that we have at Monza with the yellow sausages there. So no, not track
