It is a moving target with the TT still open, but will have been around 1,850 drivers.

@Gomario JSP… I’m sorry. Only Deutsche Kowalski to topple now 😜. Not the perfect lap, I’d like to think I could do under a 1:26.5 before the end of the TT. I’ve found a few corners I can do quicker than the WR but it’s always the second half of the lap I fall down on (like always)
Will upload my lap if anyone’s interested later, I have a little trick in the hairpin that if done properly I think can save time on WR but this van is a bit of hit and miss IMO. Almost the same action on two different laps can gain or lose you like half a second 🤣
I think within 1% and 1 second of WR is guaranteed so top 100 again is my goal! Come at me biatches let’s get some competitive action in here 💀💀

Haven't seen the new WR replay yet but I have a feeling it's not going to drop much anymore, unless a completely different line is discovered. It's a simple layout and there's a limit what this van can do. That limit seems to be fairly easy to achieve and that's why (according to @half_sourly's stats) this is one of the easiest TTs to get awarded.
Then again, I could be completely wrong.

Been away for a bit and expected to be kicked out of bronze - but no, still hanging in there! 6 days left to try and improve what is a pretty ropey time.
Just wondering if anyone here has an Alphard and if so, how does this digital version compare?
They're dead popular where I live, that and the Vellfire (a less powerful version). And, if a car is in the fast lane doing the speed limit or 10kmh over, blocking the really fast cars, it's likely to be an Alphard.....🤣

Agreed, it's quite a simple thing to understand however.. because it is so slow and it's limits are so low, I find myself experimenting for the first time properly in a TT rather than just trying to replicate what I see others do.. You can try all sorts of strange things when you are going this slowly without it really hurting you.. I'm downshifting at odd times, dabbing the brakes into corners, bouncing it off curbs, chucking it in at top speed, deliberately provoking understeer, getting it over the grass everywhere.. Often with disastrous results
but it is fun actually trying things out rather than just watching someone go really really fast and then trying and failing to replicate it

@Dan_Tes Hold my beer, I'm just getting started

You put up a great time, I'm honored to be in your friend list and see my name in the same picture of yours and you other fast guys.
I also see I'm the best Italian in the list, so please don't accept any more friendships from Italians to keep my self-esteem up 😜
This is my method. Actually... no.... not exactly the same... I am more entropic than deliberateYou can try all sorts of strange things when you are going this slowly without it really hurting you..

Yes, with this combo who knows if some strange move would lead to a new world record.Agreed, it's quite a simple thing to understand however.. because it is so slow and it's limits are so low, I find myself experimenting for the first time properly in a TT rather than just trying to replicate what I see others do..

Worth experimenting.

T2 is where I notice some insane speed, control and traction by the new leader.Yeah, i'm going to take a good look at that @Doodle lap when i get home sub 26 is insane!, maby we can learn something
guess...again.......
That speed carries through to a perfect run through T3,4 and 5.

Most people who haven't driven cars at the limit rarely believe it, but this TT is another example that it can be more fun to drive a slow car to it's limits then a fast car to yours. Cheaper too.Agreed, it's quite a simple thing to understand however.. because it is so slow and it's limits are so low, I find myself experimenting for the first time properly in a TT rather than just trying to replicate what I see others do..

At it's limit through a turn in this thing you have time to think, react, swear that it was the wrong reaction, and re-correct before hitting the exit. And rather than trying to kill you for overdriving it it just lets you know the kids in the back are upset by doing that over/under/over/understeer oscillation it does.

That's cool, I have something in common with the quickest in the world. Because according to this, sector 2 is where I lose all my time as well. Makes sense seeing as it's over half of the lap. Lol.
Bored and no access to the game this week I decided to be productive in another way (Not with work obviously).

Here's my lap, I can see loads of time to be made there so maybe a 1:26.4 is possible. The only thing I haven't done with this van is flip it, which I would imagine would happen a lot in real life if you drive this thing like I do.
That and take it to a Maccy D drivethrough...
EDIT: Now 1:26.664, I was 3 TENTHS up on this and then completely lost it in the final corner 😂😂 so that’ll be comfortably under 1:26.4 if I can just hold it together next time. I’ll be back tomorrow!
Anyone got extended playing time over the Easter holiday? I’ll probably have less time but hoping to get a few sessions in to try and get that top 100 spot again 😎

Added your lap to the table above. Seems you're losing time fairly evenly throughout the lap to the top guys (In the sheet anyway, I don't have the record sectors yet). Though maybe more in the last turn on that lap anyway. Having been through it, I'm guessing the time difference was far greater and then just kept creeping down towards the line. Lol. Horrible feeling watching that.
And I assume what PD has done to keep this thing from rolling is why it does the oscillations it does when you throw it sideways. I definitely should have rolled it by now.

Put 80 miles on the bus taking the kids to school. I think I learned more than they did.
Now if I can just put a full lap together I think I can squeak into the 26.4’s. The first hairpin is where I’m losing all of my time. I can be 2 tenths or less off the WR ghost going in but watch him pull away on exit everytime. Also, 1 slide is fast, if it catches and then slides a second time that lap is done.
Oh yeah, thanks for adding me, guys! 😂

I'm about to unfriend a bunch of ya unless y'all stop picking up time before this thing ends! I'm tired of sliding down the leaderboard.
I'm off to run some miles now. Hopefully I gain a bit. Probably won't, though.

Gained just under a tenth. I'm good for one sub 27 first sector a session, but it's never on my best lap unfortunately.

What up 26-Gang!!! All thanks to this awesome thread and community 😘! I was telling my wife yesterday about how we all compete and how we’re from all over Europe and America and you know what? She couldn’t have cared less 😂😂!! Feeling like I wanted her to laugh, I showed her the Trump-Wagon and she said WOW! But it was in the same tone as when my 3-year old shows her a drawing 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
I think I’m taking a break from this TT for at least a few days, but now that I’m inside the top 1,000, I know I’ll probably be right back on lol.
