Well, don't beat yourself up. You may have hit your ceiling, that's all. I'm pretty sure I have because the times I posted around Christmas are pretty much the times I usually run now (tuned was a miracle lap so it doesn't count). It's not like I haven't tried to do better since but with only R1600 as a realistic bar to aim for, I've only improved in running more consistently.Ugh, it's going to be near impossible to creep into the top 200 pad users overall with times like those.
Good luck! I hope you find some extra speed so that I can upload your ghost and find it too!
My guess is that you're late on the throttle coming off of T2. You want to be in a good position exiting T1 so that you can really crank that nub left while applying a little bit of throttle and then full throttle ASAP. It feels counter-intuitive to crank the nub farther left or right than what the corner is asking for but when I used to crank it just enough to get around the corner, I was probably at least a second slower than I am now.
) or you're struggling at T4 exit. T4 is a corner that requires a lot of practice trying to carry a fair amount of speed at entry, easing the Z down towards the apex (i.e. very little braking or simply off throttle) increase steering input at the apex, and then full throttle while turning as little as necessary to aim for the corner exit. I certainly don't find T4 easy at all and in fact, I haven't been able to get ahead of my ghost at all at T6 because I absolutely nailed T4 on that day.
