This is a fun combo. The races will be fun, I think.

@RuddRacer Could be worse...you could be where I amFinally re-run this with, hopefully, settings that Fetchy likes...splits are slower than previous but I really don't like this car enough to keep trying to improve and, besides, I'm on a run of poor, positive handicap weeks so quite used to getting a poor result
@nursemorph For me the difficulty is all with the track (and my lack of experience), I can't fault one thing with the car.
Are you sure you installed the SS tires? Its not typical for there to be a big difference in our times.

Yeah, I have the sports softs installed. I don't have much experience of the track either but I know enough about it to know where the lines generally are etc...I'm just struggling with the car to be honest. It's enjoyable when on throttle (it's great across the top of the mountain) but the supertanker-esque stopping distance and off-throttle understeer is just something I can't get to grips with.....I can go a lot quicker but I always end up binning it in the sand as I didn't brake early enough! Running a 6/8 brake bias makes it a bit better (as opposed to the 2/8 I was running before) but I am just struggling to get a balance
I think the biggest problem is just that I am struggling with all the combos at the moment, for no particular reason and has been like that for weeks....and I can't work out why, especially when you look at the GT3 seasonal (admittedly with tuning) and I am in the top 300 on that. I'm sure it'll eventually turn around and I'll be able to run a combo and be competitive at some point but, for now, I'll just keep plodding around watching my handicap fall until I'll need to request a demotion as I'll have a D3 handicap

I have had less time & energy to invest the past few months so that's what I thought was going to happen to me. It didn't though. There's even been a couple of nice results that I don't think would have been much better with 300% more distance. I think it's, in addition to the cars and tracks, a subconscious thing: if you do not so good one week, you may be better motivated the following week.I'll just keep plodding around watching my handicap fall until I'll need to request a demotion as I'll have a D3 handicap

@nursemorph are you using auto or manual transmission? I would think the manual has a clear advantage over the auto for this event.
Awsome job on the 630pp TT. 👍

I still use auto transmission...I did experiment with manual a couple of times but my concentration is not enough to manage driving and changing gears, especially since I upped my painkillers recently which has made my concentration even worse!
Thanks...still can't believe I am so far up on it..guess it shows that, if tuned correctly, anyone can get a good result!
@Thematic I have the motivation to do better every week thanks to my run of poor results but being motivated is not making me any quicker

Still using BB 6/4 might try 5/5
This is a evil genius of a track one corner just that little bit slow can cost a lot of time. found you can take the whole up hill section, after the hair pin, without breaking just lift of that little bit and break early ish for the final hair pin to get the best drive of the corner for that long straight

I have buttons for throttle, brake, shifting and steering. So why should the DS3 be slower than the wheel?
One thing I noticed last night in the race was my bad habit of turning the car too hard with the stick without really needing to and understeering too much when less steering angle would turn the car just as much.
Of course I realise this is counter-productive but in this car, it seems more so.
I usually use the controller sensitivity at 3 but will try to experiment with a lower number - maybe 1 or 0.
What steering sensitivity setting do you use @Ed_Night ?

I thought let's do some well matching split time endings. Frustrating to see how many great laps I've binned in my last session, I hope my 3rd sector can help me staying competetive.
Submitting this lap, good luck to all others!

Messed up the last turn and think I lost a few tenths.
