Just snagged 762nd position with a 6:54.134
Drove about 1500kms all up in this time trial. Hopefully the aliens don't go any faster.
Edit: just found some more 6:53.731

Damn, reached top 1k on leaderboard yesterday with 6:55.002. Still not good enough for gold. This challenge has triggered my determination to find the remaining time to achieve gold.
I’m going for a last push (sweat) today.
Just wanted to stop by this thread, and wish GLHF to everyone doing the same!

Just could not let this go, even if it took over a thousand kilometers to get to the goal. Tried four different tunes until yesterday. Then today pieces started falling together when I just sticked to one setup and actually took it a little bit more relaxed. Curbs won't find you the extra tenths here, it's all about rotation using brakes and throttle with a nice smooth continuation.
First full lap today was 6:55,6 and second would have been gold already if not for a .5 penalty for a wide exit at Wippermann (which itself took a good half a second from the time). But somehow getting a 6:54,8 didn't even feel bad. The next try got me to 6:52,2 which is definitely enough for me even if there was still a big mistake there in the middle worth close to a second.
This was tough and at times frustrating, but it's what makes it the best TT challenge so far in my books.

... Isn't Sardegna C ... The one with the uphill/downhill hairpin?

I've hit a plateau at 7:02.145, which is 0.3s under the silver target. I've got an optimum of 6:58, but I just can't string it together. My best lap was ruined by a tank-slapper exiting Steilstrecke (the tight right-hander before Karussell) that I barely managed to save, and my best hope at a sub-7 min time was ruined when I lost control under braking for Schwabenschwanz.

This is a very familiar combo and one where I'm usually quite fast. I don't expect gold to be difficult at all. I will probably end up running every Gr4 car to see how many I can get below the threshold.
I'll make a bold prediction and say the Alfa will be the META.

I don't know why, but I felt more "in the zone" tonight, 5 retries before completing my first lap aside. I didn't have trouble with any of the butt puckering corners I mentioned in my previous post as I forced myself to take them a scoche easier, and it paid off.
Overall, I picked up a second from my best time to a 6:55.440. Unfortunately, I'm still a full second behind gold. I don't forsee myself picking it up, but I've got one more try tomorrow (I think).

And another second down to 6:54.938
Just 5 more tenths, tomorrow it's do or die.
And then on to the GT-R on Sardegna C... ... Yeah, it's totally going to be a GT-R meta.
It's GT-R on Gr.4
It's GT-R on Gr.3
It's GT-R on Gr.2
And it's probably GT-R on Gr.B but we don't have many Sport races to test that out. The hard-on with GT-Rs is unbelievable.

Yes,that last turn is a tricky one, did a few laps in a stock Alfa Romero 155 ,just under 55 seconds,so the best times should be well under 50...

Has this tt ended?, if so I'm gutted, it was a brilliant combo, a bit of a grind I know, but love this track.

Yeah, it's basically 3 corners and the rest is full throttle. It will be a ~55 second lap so we will have 10 million attempts each

Well that's me done. Tried a few times today and the car is now such a mess with adding bits I can't remove and trying different tunes I couldn't get to within 3 seconds of my best so far.
Which is pretty dismal and several seconds off bronze.
It's the first TT I haven't bronzed, apart from one where I did get bronze, went away for a few days and came back to find the Aliens had bumped me out while I was gone! Oh, and that Red Bull one that I just couldn't be bothered with.
I am disappointed. It is a track I used to dislike, but grew to be very fond of. I have gold in all sectors in Circuit Experience but after around 10 tries am still silver on the full lap. I think my brain just can't concentrate for that long! After half a lap I slip into Sunday Driver mode.... 😂
Well done to all of you who got bronze, really well done to those with silver, and
to those who managed gold.
