From the top of my head: if you get over 190km/h at S/F you did something right, i judge the apex speed by rev sound, keep it as high in 4th gear as possible.đź’ˇ What mph or kph at the exit of the last turn and or at the Start / Finish line is desirable?
On another note you don't need the driving line after a few laps -- it's marked nicely with rubber.

For those trying to work out lines etc for turn 2 etc, have a look in the archives at week 4...it was with a completely different car but there is a first sector video there and I seem to recall there's a real life video where a racing driver explains how to drive Big Willow..might be worth a look đź‘Ť

I'm at 118/119 mph at s/f line with a decent exit of final turn. Go ahead and add 1or2 mph to that for the faster guys.I've set new PB's in all 3 sectors but I still haven't put together a faster lap.
I'm pretty sure my last sector is way off pace.

Yep if you can start the lap at 119-120mph and cross the finish line with the same speed you have pretty much got the start finish straight covered, just the bits in between left to sort out
You can't get a 119-120 start on a lap 1 it will be from the 2nd lap onwards... Keep pushing guys it will come when you least expect it
Good luck

You can, turn around, and come back! I do that everytime!Yep if you can start the lap at 119-120mph and cross the finish line with the same speed you have pretty much got the start finish straight covered, just the bits in between left to sort out

I prefer to do a fresh ghost lap 1 with slower SF speed and try to crucify it on lap 2 with the extra 2mph speed

Since you have a DFGT, I'll try to help you. Did you try plugging out everything, turning off the PS3 then turning it on again and plugging everything in? A few days ago it happened to me, after research some had the problem and fixed by doing that. I did the same and it worked. No cleaning or extra work should be needed.

I can't agree with applying real life driving instructions to the game in this case. Mainly in the middle sector.
I think the first uphill section is the key to 32.7xx sector 2 time. Partial (80%) throttle well before the apex of the first turn. Try to make a straight line from the apex curb to the inside curb of the turn 2. This is pretty steep uphill, the car doesn't have much power, and it's front wheel drive. Stay to the right, small lift for the blind right over the crest (pumping the accelerator here a bit seems to help).
For the downhill left this is the only place where I drop wheels off the track on the entry. It is important to re-enter the track AFTER the right curb ends otherwise the curb hop will make the car understeer too much. I try to keep 115kmh through this turn.

I think I have more to get in sector 3. My best sector 2 though. I have seen some .7s in sector 1, first turn is key, my best is 87 MPH as lowest speed out of turn 1.

Improved by .07 over the last spllits, PB in sector 3. Pretty close to maxed out for this one. I might do another run, but very happy with final lap time on this run.

41 consecutive laps and not a blue number to be seen this afternoon
As @randy1122 said at the start of the week, we will be fighting over tenths

Happy Halloween, guys.
The WW race on Sat should be a 2-stop. Unless you're @MadMax.
Ran it till the oil was dry.

New splits:
29.133
62.083
and .12 at the line from previous LB splits time. BB changed to 4/9 and added TC1 (thanks @GTP_Patrick1 for this advice). Yet still struggling with the laps. At least in Turn 1i managed to hold around 137-138 km/h except 133-135 km/h speed kinda regularly.
