Here is an up date of my times on Brands Hatch GP with the Audi R8. Yesterday afternoon I managed 1.26.980 but still not able to get the power down up hill on the 4th corner. Last night, did another TT, but this time I lowered the rear tyre pressure by two clicks. It gave me more grip up the hill and lowered my lap time to 1.26.360.
Today I'm going for 1.25, I think the R8 can do a 1.25, its flying now.

Not allowed, sir.

Changing the settings in tune.
For the competition anyway; it presents a mismatch.

Thus far with Terronium's tune my best is 1:25.73.
This track is so unlike Road America it's amazing. This one is all finesse and timing. Roll off the brake roll onto the throttle... keep the momentum up, take the back sweepers as fast as possible with as little braking as possible. Kind of the opposite of Road America where it's slow in, fast out. Brands Hatch is much trickier than I thought before this competition.

glad to see round 3 is up
best time today 126.510
welcome BOXOX to the competition ,
i find best to take turns on this track initially with a shallow angle, preferably coming out of turns in 3rd gear, i switched to manual tranny for this track better control of corner exit speed

Yes, I absolutely know the corners you did that for! I realized the same problem. Coming out of the corner 3 at the very lowest RPM of 4th gear kills the time doesn't it?
PS. Didn't you get into the 1:25's on BHGP when we were racing the other day. Of course it was hard to tell as you were all but out of sight ahead of me!

i think 124.00 is reachable, i blew a corner on above time, had a couple drinks too, ( picking up boxox's bad habits ) lol

Maybe we should have the Renown Tuning "Arrive Alive" Time Attack on New Year's Eve. Everyone get smashed then drive Spa!

That would be fun. I can almost guarantee I'll have a lap time of 10+ minutes because I'll spend most of that time doing the track in reverse wondering why my time is never being recorded.

LOL we could setup a beer tent @ the chicane, everybody has to slow down there anyway

1.25.240 my best time today. it's much more work with manual tranny, but with practice my shifting is getting better. TERRONIUM you posted that this track was originally for motorcycles, some of these rising corners would have been hellish on a bike, lots of G forces

I had a feeling 1:26.5 wasn't going to be your best!
The 1:25.24 is a good time. It'll be tough to beat unless my shifting gets better... and I don't feel like I'm becoming more coordinated. I'll focus on it after Christmas.LOL we could setup a beer tent @ the chicane, everybody has to slow down there anyway
it could just be a drive thru on each lap.....I mean one needs a "roady" now and then.......

Yeah, that's going to be tough. I'll give it another go in the morning and see if I can't make it more exciting for him at least!
guess i better hit the track again

Well, I've run that track until all the little cyber fans quit waving their flags and went home. I must've put 300 miles on the poor beast today alone and I can't seem to wring another 1/100th of a second out of it no matter what I do.
So my Final Time on Brands Hatch GP will have to stand at 1:25.73 Well driven NITROVIOUS!

Results will go up later on today.
Congrats to our new pole sitter NITROVIOUS.
Round 4 will be posted January 2nd, this will give NITROVIOUS enough time to think up an event and PM me with the details.

whew! still very close times all around. with these corners had 2 wheels on asphalt and 2 wheels on the grass most of the time, very close to cut corner penalty a few times lol.
great times you guys if anyone has any input or suggestions for next round, just PM me.
Hopefully we can make next round as good as the first three.

The final round is going to take place at the Nurburgring Nordschliefe, whomever takes pole position in the upcoming round decides what vehicle is to be used, whether it's upgraded (to any degree) and uses a tune, or if it's factory settings. Anything involving the race is up to whomever wins. If you want to change the entire event itself that's also available.
