Best seasonal ever.
Me and three friends have an ongoing competition for the fastest time, within your own friends' rankings. We started off doing like 1:49's, but in watching the top replays and fine tuning and learning critical shift points, etc..we're up to 1:46.4 - 1:46.8 (all within 4 tenths of each other). For me, the seasonal has acted as a learning tool for the 97T - I feel much more confident and understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of this car now.
Also, the feeling of running a solid lap, in this car, on this track, at or near the limits of the car, is complete driving bliss.
On a side note, although we're all in the top 250 worldwide, still an insurmountable 4+ seconds off of #1. Ouch.

loving this one too- hope we get the Lotus again at Suzuka just before the Japanese GP.
I think I've driven over 1000 miles and just got down to the low 1.45s for my first top 100 in a couple of years! but the skill levels required to take another 2 seconds off that are beyond my comprehension!

Ran a few more laps a while ago and lowered my time by 0.6 secs to 1:47.550. I'm back with the top 500 crowd.

Got a bit of time in yesterday, and I somehow managed to break into the 1:45's, didn't think that would be possible when I was struggling to get gold earlier on! Into the top 150 (as of last night), that's the best I've ever done in a TT by a country mile... looking back at the replay though, it seems so scruffy compared to the any of the top 10. It reminds me of the Vettel X challenge from GT5, going through most of the low-med speed corners there's a fair bit of smoke billowing out from one side or the other, it does make it look rather odd to say the least.

Don't look now, but the goal post just moved another 0.6 seconds to 1:46.930 which was good for 301st last time I checked. Yeehaw!!Moving goal post alert!
Unfortunately I think I have hit my limit as it was really difficult for me to better this lap and not go off the track. I have not been able to hit Pouhon properly yet. I either turn too late and go wide or turn too early, hit the inside curb and get pushed off the track.
Huge thanks to Weider, Oshawa-Joe and TRL_beau for their useful advice/tunes.

Thoroughly enjoying this event. Best one in a while. Currently at a 1:47.965 position 538. Will try a bit later to get into the 500’s. @Stewyripper, I'm coming for you, slowly, but surely 
I can sometimes keep up with @et_ on the straight after Eau Rouge, but then Elias does as extra terrestrials do and he disappears into the distance, never to be seen again

Managed to knock it down to 1:45.4 last night, which just about put me into the top 100, although I have a feeling I won't be in there for too long... I still can't quite believe it, seeing as I'm usually around the 2-3000 mark when it comes to TT's... I think it's fair to say I'm enjoying this one!

That lap was done in 3 laps (first one not redlapped) and is Weider's tune unchanged. You should be able to keep up. You can do it!Thoroughly enjoying this event. Best one in a while.

Well at least @Weider tune is absolutely amazing, I have only added the ballast and kept my oil and chassis in check and it seems every time I improve my time it I always make couple of really obvious mistakes which I could avoid "easily" if I just kept my nerves on check, there's just something making me really nervous out there, maybe it's the enormous sunHighly doubt I will be able to keep up with you.... but I"ll try. Thanks for the motivation

Using the same tune. Its amazing. My final gear is set at 2.650. It always happens that I'll be ahead of my ghost and get too excited .. And then I'll blow the lap!Well at least @Weider tune is absolutely amazing, I have only added the ballast and kept my oil and chassis in check and it seems every time I improve my time it I always make couple of really obvious mistakes which I could avoid "easily" if I just kept my nerves on check, there's just something making me really nervous out there, maybe it's the enormous sun
