I think we can manage low 1:15s or maybe mid 1:14??OO
Anyways.. so far the best I got is 1:15.381.
Don't be so depressingly fast
gotta try it out with the wheel tomorrow, i'm not that good with the ds3 so i'm still a little hopeful ^^And i also agree with phil, although a sticking pedal is fixable..

Mid 1:14? I would be happy with a 15.0 right now.
I can do mid 15s from lap 2 onward, with a best lap time of 1:15.320 (full tank on lap 5).
Not sure how much time I left on track, maybe .3XX with my driving.
I bet you(Opp) or Dax or Marunda can drop a 14.XXX but not sure how many lap the tires can handle at that pace.

I wouldn't count on it. It's not what I'd call one of my favourite tracks and I won't be able to practise until 4pm GMT tomorrow.

Last season you could practically floor it round the track but this season with the ridiculously louse back ends you really have to fight it all the time, i'm looking forward to the next series when we get back to normal behaving cars ^^ it's been a great learning experience though.

Seems to me I had high expectations
The crucial part to get a good time is to nail the turns right before the tunnel, imo.

Take a Shelby AC Cobra and a McLaren MP4-12C, a ACR, and a McLaren F1 to the Nurburgring (full) in the rain (100%) on comfort soft tires......
After that any MR car feels stable.

Yes, I would agree but T2 is so much harder to get right and is worth a lot of time.

Haha but that is ok because it's in extreme conditions and extreme cars.. this car isn't extreme it's just really loose in high speed corners, which is my most disliked feature in a car ^^
Well still like it a bit because it makes me a better driver but it really takes practise to drive fast in.
edit: did a endurance race or something in the cobra on nurb once.. think it was comforts but might have been sports tires, anyway had the worst set up in the world (since i still can't set up cars) and it felt quite a bit like this one, only twice as fast.

Also true
I think this will be a really close race.

Only managed a 1'15.3xx.
The first corner is an absolute 🤬 without ABS, at least to go fast round it.
