Hmmmm .....did 80 laps at BB and got a 2/100 improvement. Best possible time is 32.1 flat. I'm just not getting the last 2 corners right somehow (losing nearly 3/10 to #1 in sector 2)

DS4 here. Thanks for all you're doing! I love seeing the stats you indulge us with!Easily done if folk want to share what they use.
Turn in early. The car is an understeer pig 🐷I ran BB for the first time last night. I must be doing something wrong, because I have to lift massively to make the left hander while everyone else barely lets off the throttle. I'll have to revisit it, because my 32.523 feels horrible slow compared to where I normally am against the competition.
to last turn. The immediate effect was a gain of half a second down to 1:18.066. A 1:17 actually feels possible now.
There is a black squarish tire blob on the track on the right side just before the gantry. Turn just before that and you’ll be able to take the left-hand a flat out.I ran BB for the first time last night.

I try. I had a few occasions where I came uncomfortably (and satisfyingly) close to the wall but still had to lift for a long time. I've also cut it a touch too much and hit it a handful of times.Turn in early. The car is an understeer pig 🐷
What really helped me was following @Doodle (thank you Sir)… I normally can’t get on with a ghost as I find it too distracting, but this track is all about line and momentum, so it ends up more like a follow the leader scenario. I set his ghost with a 0.2 offset and then sat behind him for 40 laps. The other ah ha moment was giving up on speed/throttle to preserve the line on entry for the fast left and subsequent right in the middle of the lap. You’re normally faster than me so you’ll get there and execute it better, but that’s what helped meDS4 here. Thanks for all you're doing! I love seeing the stats you indulge us with!

Meanwhile, at the Red Bull Ring, I saw advice from some using TC1. As I've stated in the past, I don't like using aids. But since I use X for gas (meaning 100% on throttle when I push it), I found TC1 helps tremendously in negating wheelspin in the Valkyrie. I can pin the throttle in 3rd with the boost and not feel like I'm laying rubber for half a straightaway. It also helps keeps the car from trying to kill me in left handers and second to last turn. The immediate effect was a gain of half a second down to 1:18.066. A 1:17 actually feels possible now.
I'm excited for the Porsche at LeMans, but I feel sorry for those not in America who are unable to take part. Why would PD leave out a huge portion of its players? It's not just folks from Cyprus missing out this time.

@TheNormsk, I'll keep an eye out for that marker. Thanks.
I wasn't expecting so many replies so quickly to help me with one turn. Thanks, everyone!

Evening all!
It’s been fun catching up today with the thread and finally getting to try the new TT. Brands Hatch was another top 100 for me, although not quite as impressive as Mr @Gomario JSP and his incredible result. I shall now dub you Dutch Doodle 😅
AM Valkyrie and RBR is a proper challenge and I’d love more time to have a good crack at it. Wow such a fantastic thing to drive, very sharp turn in and loves trail braking… let’s just ignore the fact that it wants to spin any time you touch the loud pedal! Set a decent time today with room for improvement but only tomorrow to beat it. A safe gold at least.
The new TT is.. interesting. I don’t like it, it’s everything I hate about a TT (boring to drive car, awful tyres, boring track). However it’s strangely hypnotic and I found myself doing a two 30 lap stints! Short lap, very few penalties and no dirty tyres seems to do the trick… I’m glad it’s on now as I’m away all week and for me it reveals it’s secrets quickly unlike the formidable Valkryie.

Great times you got there mate!, I knew you would find the time to quickly crush all our hard gained laptimes 🤣🤣
The BB I sort of don't like it either, but on the other hand I can't get my head around the leaderboard, everybody turned in to aliens, I'm stuck at .309 and I just can't find more for now 🤣
The RBR TT I find thr least amusing because of thr inconsistent penalties, this morning I was 300% within limits and got penalty after penalty, .....I got a save gold, and I think I'm done with it, haven't got that much time this weekend as I normally have plus I'm frustrated with a misterious tooth pain wich they cant seem to locate so I'm drugged already 1.5 week... that doesn't help 🤣
I'm hoping for a nice slidealicious roadcar TT for the next one🤣
@Dolph Drago I'm not the quickest one here yet but I noticed I am more consistent by lifting slightly to get a better place lined up on the right side for turn 2, and I don't loose that much on the ghost , it's the last corner where I die every time 🤣
Naah I'm not even getting close to your time🤣, you are a mile in front of me! 😁“Yet”
With only (checks notes) 11 days left, I don’t think either of us really believe that.Naah I'm not even getting close to your time🤣, you are a mile in front of me! 😁
I am already kicked out of your board 🤣🤣No improvement at RBR, the kerb/grip/penalty lottery is starting to grate on me a little bit. I’ve set a few times near my PB but largely frustration.
I have really grown to like the BBR trial and I see why just about everyone enjoys it.. You just can’t stop doing laps!! I joined the 31 club and a bit more. If I wasn’t away all this week I feel like this is one where I could really challenge for the WR, it’s so simple I think all it takes is patience to get the perfect lap. Still, dead chuffed with my time and joining the thirty oners!

My time ends in 69, can’t complain at that!! 😂 apologies @Barareklam for displacing you on the leaderboard, classic pseudo-alien behaviour! I hope you come back swinging while I’m away and can fend off the inevitable @Gomario JSP insane 90s nokia lap time that he’ll inevitably pop in soon 😁 originally I had beaten your time by 0.001s, they felt particularly harsh so I had to go and make it less jarring (is it less jarring!?)
