Thanks a lot for the video (and others who posted similar). They really help. I tried turning in a bit earlier to use much more of the kerb, and flooring it a little sooner (and risked a spin!!!) and managed a whole second + off my previous fastest on the second lap today! Still, at 1:26.2xx nowhere near silver, let alone gold!

Well I jumped on last night and put in a few laps (I mean only a few) and managed to knock 2 tenths off my time, now down to a 22.9

I still have not improved from 2:22:5 but I did managed to improve ideal time, which doesn't count to 2:21:2 this challenge is tricky for me on Dualsense tilt to steer..

Is this a representative session for you? I don't mean to sound disrespectful or anything but it looks quite inconsistent! Your best overall lap doesn't have a single best sector and the optimal is way below!
I wonder are you following using a ghost or not? Your own or one from the leaderboard? Also with you clearly putting a good number of laps into each session are you watching the gap too much?
My suggestion is going to be to try the opposite of what you are currently doing, just for a handful of laps, whichever way you are doing it! Just to try and change whatever is stopping you put together consistent sectors!
For example - if you don't use a ghost, put one on! Either your own so you can see what you did well on your best lap, or a leaderboard one to understand where you can be even better.
I often find that if I've spent 10 laps chasing a time with a ghost and looking at my gap and sectors I will often keep making mistakes, restart with no ghost and just focus on hitting all my marks and I'll put a better lap together.
So yeah, let us know what you do in these sessions?
Edit - I've just seen your signature as well, motions sense and auto gears, any reason for this? I wonder if the auto is shifting you into lower gears and making it much harder to control wheelspin... same with the motion control, I wonder if that's making it harder for you to catch slides.

Thanks @Blayney
You are right about watching sector times and blue or red numbers. I remember struggling once before on suzuka and until I stopped watching numbers I didn't won, so yeah, I will try that.
I chase a ghost from leaderboard, someone from place 1500-ish, find it easier to chase when ghost is not so far, as when I chase once from first position. I will try what you suggest with the ghost, maybe it will help me keep focus better.
Oh yeah, I need to edit my signature and change automatic transmission to manual. Thanks for reminder. Why I use motion sensor to steer, I think it fits me better than using left analog stick to steer.

To be fair, 1 minute faster than everyone else is impressive already, no need for that improvement.

I think, for me, it's gonna be tough like the Super Formula TT (it was the only one I got gold on the last day available instead of right way after, like, an hour
)

This one is going to be tough for me to i think, plus the only km's i have set on the MP4/4 is one round of Nordschleife, but there is no better way to get to know the car better than a thousand "exit - retry" after the first corner 🤣, I'm very curious how it handles on Suzuka, can't wait to dive into this one 😁
