My advice to both of you is similar.

The key to Eiger, and this combo in particular, is knowing the really important corners, and getting the power down as soon as possible. In most cases, that means going in a bit slower, for a big gain out the other end.

In both directions, the bridge corner is key (corner before the bridge in forward, after it in reverse). Focus on getting the gas all the way down, before the apex, in forward. In reverse, you can carry some extra momentum up the hill, get the car locked into the apex, and hammer down.

The other key corners are the very bottom of the track, in both directions. Go in a bit slower, and make sure you can be on full power, at the apex.

The last one is the top of the hill in reverse (Turn 1 in forward). You have to set yourself up to get all the way on the throttle at the apex. That's a long straight, and you give back a lot of time if you are partial throttle there.

Some clean laps overall, and reasonably good car control from both of you. In this case, I think understanding the "science" of fast lapping would help you improve your times.

We're official now, thanks guys. 👍

Thanks for checking & for the advice. You must of posted this as I was watching nuclear's lap myself. Good clean job by him. :cheers:
 
Thanks for checking RIP_Welsh_Don and that looks like useful advice EDK, I'm going to try it as well as it probably would apply to me too, being placed right behind nuclearfire and all (good job on silver for d3!).

See everyone on week 90, looks fun!
