1'40.571 for me. At least 2-3 tenths still to come out though. 👍

- Intercourse, PA
- Carbonox
After several laps of testing, I'm proud to announce my best Laguna time so far as 1'40.781 👍 Was going 0.3 seconds faster on the penultimate sector, but then... well, tried a bit too much.
Target? One last podium to make my statistics look a little better.

Know how you feel I was 4 tenths up on my .5 when I took a bit too much speed through the penultimate corner and...... well....... slid........ a bit.......
Remember we are still running at 3pm GMT which is 4pm BST
Just so we don't have any confusion. 👍

Yes. 👍
Looks like I have some competition in Carbonox now.
And you didn't have at Nürb, or Grand Valley for that matter?

I meant in the times for this race..........
So far Neljack was closest with 1'41.3 (?) before you put in 1'40.7.
Ah yes. The Nurburgring- that was a good battle although towards the end you were catching me really fast and it was until after the race I realised I hadn't done an oil change and was 4bhp down.

Hah here the sun is shining and it's 15 C outside
Edit: it's not fun practising when you start out so much behind.. i'll i'm down to 1:43.0 and can see that there lots of time to gain in every sector but it's just so haaard.. will need hours of practise to get a decent time

Yeah thats correct marunda, havent had any texts asking to go out and play football so far, trying to keep a low profile at the moment so I can race today
👍

You aren't keeping enough momentum up, like Tokyo momentum is the key. Only 4 corners require any proper braking. Yesterday you weren't going fast enough out of the turn up the hill towards corkscrew and the penultimate turn from what I could see.

I'm aware of that but i don't know how to get any more of that momentum
I'm taking about 88mph through the one up to the hill and 81mph through the penultimate. 👍
The one on the hill you want to turn reasonable early so that the dip next to the apex carries you through- then just correct any oversteer.
Penultimate- tap the brakes and turn early then onto the throttle over the apex and you should be going about 84mph out of the corner. 👍
Hope that helps.
