Busy week, no time to run. Customer's, can't live with them and can't live without them.
Was able to sneak in a few laps though.

41.408
39.346

1st sector really killing me

 

[oldguy58]

Ok, stupid question from the old fart. Are we allowed to alter the gear ratios in the transmission?

Tuning: Some Tuning Allowed: Power and weight are to be stock. You may adjust Suspension, Aerodynamics, LSD for front and rear and Transmission only.

[alexamenos]

May have to give it one more try after watching @Iceman take the banked rh sweeper in t2. Good race.

Gravitron thx a lot for hosting the race(s) tonight!!! Was really fun.
First one for me tonight, was heavy confused about everything, in particular the qualifying.... came around turn one and everyone was parked there . So then I gathered that must have been it. Loved the parade lap 👍. That was about my race pace, too. My word some of you guys are so fast, you know who you are, I just really don't understand how thats done
Anyways, thanks to all in the race, was great and I will be back 👍

Who was iceman in the race? Be weis? Dont worry, saw in the race's thread mires post that clarifies my doubt.
He was too fast , ive got nervous when standing in front of him due to his pit stop ... Short after I was in the grass

Yes that's him. Last time I saw him was going into banked right in t2 on the 1st lap.

Uhoh, my secrets are out

In all seriousness I didn't really expect my line there would be much different from others but I could see I was gaining quite a bit of time there. I think you had more exit speed though so maybe it's not too different at the finish line.

Yes you may. No changes to weight or power, but suspension, lsd, downforce and transmission can be tuned.

 

[andrewsufc91]

Hey everyone, first time taking part in one of these time trials. Don't expect to anywhere near the top. Here's my first two splits

41.107
40.522

 

[andrewsufc91]

Blimey the setup changes made a difference! Just need to find the speed in the first sector.

40.884
38.851

 

[routergod24]

New splits
40.779
38.951

 

[Special_K]

Splits for the night

39.986
38.104

🤬 I have been getting 37.8s in the second sector as well but bottle it under pressure. One lap I had a 39.9 and a 37.8..... but I ended up soiling myself in the last chicane

I will hopefully be back!!!

My best I have seen is a 1’17.874...... soiled myself then to

Good luck guys

Yeah, feeling pretty stupid at this. As soon as I saw what @Gravitron posted I thought to myself "you dumb 🤬 you read this at the beginning of the week"

I had a senior moment, what can I say.

No worries I have those moments myself from time to time.

I had a senior moment, what can I say.

Guy at work tells me Everytime I forget something, that it gets "better" with age.

 

[JamCar0ne]

After fiddling with some settings and trying different gears and lines through corners, I've improved a little.

40.695
39.311

 

[Mini Stiggy]

[Never2fast1]

Had a 118.6 after first 2 sectors and blew sector 3........

Had to settle for this the next lap. Still .6 off optimal

40.660
38.465

My kid (who is 17) thought the swearing coming from me was hilarious.

 

[Never2fast1]

What was gearing? Going to try this setup tomorrow night.

 

[Mini Stiggy]

4.250 I think.

 

[ItsAllAboutWins]

End of first session. Struggling with consistency. Will come back tomorrow before bed.

40.157

[Iceman]

Holy smokes @Mini Stiggy, your setup is blazing at T1 and T3!

Had to try it out, and now I'm hooked again - why did you do this me

Not sure if it's the small change in initial LSD or reduced camber, but incorporated this into my setup and getting much better turn in off throttle in first and second corners. Loses a bit at T2 but makes up that in spades elsewhere.

Beat my old best by .1 at the line:
39.920 (saw quite a few .8s, best .835)
37.875

Those .8 T1's are what make me keep trying to improve
