Been running this most of the evening, off and on.
Can do sub 29 sec T1 L1, and low 22 T1's for L2&3, so the 1st sector's not a problem.
I lose time in the double lefts after the second tunnel.
From being pretty much on par with other posted T1's to being nearly a second down by T2.
And by the finishline, I haven't lost any more than another .1 so the final sector's not much of a prob either (now I've found the right line through the final left)
So is there any advice floating around out there?

OK then,since nobody can or will answer, who is using the concrete bits at turns 4 and 5 and the next to last turn? Looking at some of the splits, some of ya appear to. I've used them, not on purpose , my best times were using them, but I'm sure not going to submit a time until I get an official ruling (read EV4L). My not so common sense tells me not legal, but I've seen them ruled legal in other series....not the WRS though.
I hear you bro 👍
I've changed my lines and dropped time
but it's WRS clean 👍
Since that's my only experience, it's one I know.
That's why I asked early for a ruling... didn't hear anything .... assumed the worst,,, it being illegal... and am submitting as if a WRS.
Besides
I'm old and slow LOL ... and I'll be a part-timer .... I'm just hoping I pass the audition

It's amazing nobody's answering, either they don't know or don't WANT to know. Ignorance is Bliss....trust me!oldphartI hear you bro 👍

Anyway J.R. your times look good, don't know why you can't go fulltime! It really doesn't take that much time...dang , you spend more time here then would be needed to run fulltime.....did I convince ya? Maybe just a wee bit? Are ya gonna think some more about it? Come on man, it's only one day a month you have to wait for the Social Security check, you have plenty of time left.... to drive I mean, I really don't know if you have plenty of time left!!I hope so though!!!

Guys, is it possible for once to drop your nuthugging WRS vision? 
I just want to know your true potential and skills, this doesn't count for anything in the standings... Just drive on the tarmac/concrete with at least 2 wheels on the rumble strip if there's one and that's it. Stop stressing and not sleeping at night thinking if your lap was legal or not.
Once the season will start each track will be verified and in the qualification threads you'll have pictures telling exactly what's legal and what's illegal. For now just drive...on the track

Yes, draft system should be pretty much the same. Unless someone can come up with a brilliant and genius new format!

This was both fun and frustrating at the same time. Very worthwhile.

Skyline (bloody understeery B:tch that it is)
L1 - 28.930/54.619/1'14.516
L2 - 22.721/48.406/1'08.121
L3 - 22.724/49.189/1'09.134
Total
3'31.771
Could have been better in the final lap of the skyline run, but she started to understeer towards the cliff-wall (you all know where) and I had to back off big-style. Hence the nearly 0.8 lost T1-T2 in L3.
Too much fun, loads of Frustration with the skyline, none at all with the AI for a change.

Man I sucked big time in these challenges, particularly #3, without my trusty DFP. Deep Forest with a GT500 car is challenging enough to say the least (that lovely even surface ), with the DS2 and my (lack of) skills with it this was downright frightening. On several occasions I couldn't prevent a spin after turn 3 as it transitions over the crest and hits the bumpy bit, the car is so loose there.
Anyway, all submitted. Hopefully EV4L has a good idea of my achievable pace, and keeps this in mind when viewing my less-than-satisfactory results for these challenges (trying pathetically to save face
)
