Now that the question has been cleared up:

However, being new I'm like deathly terrified of it being dirty, am I allowed to have a volunteer check it for me to verify?

I'll check your lap if you like. :)
 
New slower splits from a better overall lap:

15.906 (old- 15.772)
32.109 (old- 32.086)

:ouch:

Unofficial poll: Stay in 3g or downshift to 2g for the final curve?

edit: new car green from a downloaded save; old car red from my own transferred save. Hmm.
 
I wasn't arriving there very quickly until just now. :lol:
I adjusted my line a bit after DLing the #1 ghost from the online board. Then I signed out and ran some laps, including my new clean PB. However, my tag isn't on my ghost replay. :confused: Is this submitable if I don't improve?

edit: Duke of Pendles' sig is apallingly accurate ...

When you're running offline your tag will not show up. Since offline is required you have nothing to worry about.

In that case, new splits.

15.895
32.156

There's more than a tenth left in T1, but I haven't done all three sectors correctly in 1 lap yet.
edit: my T1 keeps getting slower ... :(
 
This isn't working....

16.104
32.934

I took nearly 0.5 off my laptime but my splits were slower. I think I may have gone through the last corner as fast as I ever will.
 
I'm also having major problems with the first turn. I have serious trouble getting below 16 seconds at T1 and then suddenly out of nowhere comes a 15.7 and once even a 15.65X and the strange thing is that I haven't got a clue what I did differently. I once did a 16.1 T1 only to drive the rest of the lap better than ever and cross the finish line 2/100 behind the times I have on the board.
 
I'll check your lap if you like.
Kk cool...I just woke up and have to go to work so I'll pm the replay later tonight

Thanks dude :)

Btw, 3rd gear through the last turn, you can do it by just lifting off a little if done right. Turn in early, the apex is earlier than you think (you'll see in my replay)
If done right you should drop off the last right rumble strip at like 75 mph+ (121 kph) and cross the line at 90 mph (145 kph)

Are you sure I didn't write this? :sly: I had a stretch of 6ish laps with 15.70 in T1 .... and I'm not sure I actually know how to do that. One thing is certain: racing maxed-out Cervos tonight in the online FWD-London reverse event isn't going to help at all.

edit: sounds good, Seken. :)
 
Ok I guess I can't attach it to a PM...hmm, well anyway here it is, BUT it has a password on it so I don't give out my time to everyone lol. I'll pm the password to you clacksman

New splits too, but I'd still like that replay checked XD because I'm curious about the walls after T2

15.654
31.880

The first turn is a bit tricky. What I was doing was braking early, just before the rumble strip on the left, Turn it in gently and let the car roll in. Getting on the gas very early and at the inside barrier been trying to keep the speed at about 60kmph and running it wide (with out hitting the damn invisable wall) From what i can remember off the top of my head exit speed is about 80kmph. Not very sure on the but I'll watch my replay in a bit and let you know.
 
Please replace my splits on the board with these:

15.770
31.921

It seems I didn't save the replay of the lap containing my current splits on the board. :ouch: Sorry for any inconvenience.

edit: the fastest sectors I've seen are 15.588 and 31.803. I mess up the 2nd to last corner the most when I'm under pressure.
 
Well I'm way behind in laps and time this week. I ran 90 laps :embarrassed:, and al I came up with was these

[B]15.910
32.527
[/B]

Fastest I saw, was .350 at T2, much work to do in a short time.


15.776
32.180



I might just be able to get into the 32.0xx but not any more. I'm not ready to put this down just yet though.

Submitting with marginally faster splits before I pull all my hair out! Thanks for a frustrating, yet thoroughly engaging combo Kevin. Looking forward to seeing what we have in store next week, especially given the huge disappointment of this months event update (sorry but the M3 really isn't doing it for me).
