I'm out for this round. Hope to be back soon. Can't use the place where I used to play so it kind of sucks. Will try to figure something out

Long time no see but the abstention from Goodwood do me good since after the third successful time that finish the run i did a dead 49 and was matter of ( short as it's proved) time to go lower.
So ....
I have also a better time for Sniper's rifle but since doesn't count and is only the margin in tie won't bother to upload it.
Working today but i find time for Goodwood and a test at SPA if Noel decite to use it in a future lesson .
I already send the upcoming one yesterday .

I'm very interested to see how this hole plays out, especially with you and @RMan72 having the same time penalty and then throw in @smoothbore12 who has a .750 handicap up his sleeve.

Walk like a Cat, Bite like a Jaguar!
Cape Ring is one of the more interesting tracks in GT6. Being mostly a fast track with a few slower sections, it's very fun to drive on. This challenge uses the Inner Loop, a short but very fast and fun variant of this track.
Turn 1: Starting from the main straight, we approach this corner at about 200 km/h, we brake down to about 80 km/h in second gear. Slow in, fast out seems to be the best approach to this corner. Getting a good line out of here is important to set up turns 2 and 3.
Turns 2 and 3: You don't need your brakes here. Let go of the throttle and glide the car through. Once you're down to about 115 km/h, get back on the power and floor it into Turn 3. Third gear should do fine here.
Turns 4 and 5: This is a tough section and you need to get a good run through here, or else you'll lose a lot of time in the long Turn 6. Ideally, you don't want to brake here. Let go of the throttle and just glide through turn 4, then get back on the power through Turn 5.
Turn 6: This is a very long corner, so your line out of turn 5 will make or break your run through Turn 6. Enter this corner flat out, but it will tighten up near the end, so once you get to about 189 km/h, let go of the accelerator and glide down to about 167 km/h, then get back on the power. The timing for this is very precise and if you're a fraction of a second too late, you'll probably understeer off the racing line and lose some time.
Turns 7 and 8: Coming out of Turn 6, accelerate down the straight ahead. Turns 7 and 8 are a right-left chicane, and the only part of the track other than Turn 1 where you actually need to brake. Once you reach about 224 km/h, brake hard to about 100 km/h. Attack the kerbs as aggressively as possible here to get the best line through, but be careful not to cut the chicane, or you'll lose both your current lap and your next lap, and that's no good.
Turns 9, 10 and 11: This last section is probably the hardest part of the track. Coming out of the turns 7-8 chicane is a triple-apex left hander. The first part, Turn 9, is flat-out, but on Turn 10 you'll need to lift off. Between 121 and 124 km/h is a good spot to get back on the power, but you probably won't be able to flat-out your way through Turn 11. Manage your throttle carefully through the final corner, then once you're into the main straight once more, floor it towards the finish line.
My best time after about an hour of laps was a 0:56.806, but I forgot to scroll to the Driving Settings icon on the second picture, which got me worried. So I did a second run and got a time that was just a few hundredths of a second off, and with a proper picture as well, so that should make this time believable. I'll post both runs below, anyway:

I think we should give @smoothbore12 a 1 second handicap on this one
Hmmm not bad to give me one second

Could have send something else but the truth is that bad situations may occur with or without your responsibility .
So i stay with it .

Quest for the Triple Crown, Part 2: Monaco Grand Prix
As a brazilian, and a motorsport fan, especially a Formula 1 fan, I've always admired Ayrton Senna. He was Brazil's greatest sports hero, in my opinion.
But after doing this challenge, I have a whole new admiration for him.
Part of me hoped you would pick the Formula Gran Turismo for this part of the challenge, but unfortunately (for me), you decided to go with GT6's only real F1 car: The Lotus 97T, a beautiful, black-and-gold monster from the golden age of F1, packing a Renault V6 turbo engine producing a massive 1,000 BHP! The truth is, I've always sucked at driving this thing and only did the Ayrton Senna time trials for the extra credits.
Fortunately, for me, the AI are actually even worse at driving this thing than I am, as they are far too cautious, and as a result, become little more than mobile chicanes in your way. On my run, I easily won the race by some 20 seconds, even though I was banging walls the whole way through.
I believe anyone using AT will have serious problems here. You don't want to use first gear if you can help it - Even with the massive turbo lag, exiting corners in second gear or higher tends to give you better acceleration. This was especially true on the main straight, as I found exiting Anthony Noghes in third gear gave me better acceleration down the straight, as you lose too much power shifting from second to third. If you can, using MT is pretty much a must if you want a fast time with this car.
In the end, only one run made it to the finish (because I kept crashing and had to restart a lot), resulting in a time of 10:07.341. It's probably trash, but at this point, I just want the trophy for winning all three races against the AI.
Now to wait for Le Mans in two weeks time.

58./NO TUNE
58.042 (sic)
Not an hour in, probably coming back at least once. This track has a weird geometry and I feel like in this combo at least you need to do funny (read not funny) things in several corners to do well. It's perhaps useful to go a little wide exiting the second left because of the very cramped bend ahead, considering grip reduction is left low.

You surprised me somtimes my friend and perhaps I underestimated how good you are, giving you 1 second handicap my friend was wrong. You are not getting a 1 second handicap anymore, and I have to talk to @bjl23 about the .750 handicap which to me is a too bigger of a handicap to have, and it should a .200 handicap which seems right.Hmmm not bad to give me one second
But right now is someone else who need it.
So from here

To there
View attachment 915121
PS
Needed approximately 0.840 if am right
My gold at this one was fractions under gold time at 59.900 plus ,so not bad i can say.
I am lodging a protest to Bryce and it will be on his desk tomorrow morning about giving you .200 of a handicap.

@CozmicDragon I've allowed your 56.844, but when you take this picture again
Can you please show all of the lap time.
Thanks.
Last round @smoothbore12 had a .700 handicap over you and you beat him by .200 ish , and this race it's only .750
so protest denied.
