So the good news is: thanks in no small part to this amazing community I have finally found the entrance to the gold mine in Suzuka. Does that mean the combo finally clicked for me? The answer is a resounding:

I‘ve tried millions of different ways to tackle T1 (ok, slight exaggeration), played around with assists and different controller sensitivity settings, but it still was like a dance on a razor‘s edge. Every once in a blue moon I felt like I perfectly nailed all the inputs and followed the ghost‘s line to a tee, I would do a virtual dance of joy, then look at the sector split … and it‘s still only a 25.9. It‘s as if everyone is on racing tires except me.

Don‘t get me wrong, getting gold at all is nothing to scoff at, but given the relative simplicity of this one and, again, my history with the car, it‘s just mindblowing that I suck so bad here.

Anyway, I think I‘m done here. Next chance I get I‘ll give the Red Bull a try (so far only had a few exploration laps that landed me in silver). Maybe this restores some of the confidence in my abilities that I lost at Suzuka ;)

Happy lapping!
