You turn in late
That’s a tricky one indeed. Breaking point reference is the graffiti. You have to find your spot between that blue graffiti and the Yokohama board on the right, stay in 4th gear, late apex, avoid the inside curb, accelerate as early as you can and leeeeet the car flow to the outside.
Off to bed now ahead of work tomorrow, don’t know if djolilea is done with his attempt but if he is I’m happy to have put myself slightly ahead this time as I’ve gotten used to having to bow down to his very great lap times in pretty much all combos.
Well sadly, my ER visit delayed me for a few days so I was not able to get silver or gold this time, my time was in the 1'42.000's. The death chicane just kept messing my runs up. It's no point in getting bent out of shape about it, I'm human and I can't do some of these as well as the aliens can.
but it did the track
Welcome to the "Certificate Club"Good morning folks,
Alarm at 6 AM, but was awake at 5 AM because of the hall of terror.
During the night the furry ****ers are still locked up in the hallway otherwise they tear down the entire house.
Heard something fall so went to check it out, yeah... awake, work starts at 8:30, so yeah, why not eat some extra Nordschleife grass
Started at 5:15, coffee on the table and try to get into the flow again.
The first 30 minuts i had multiple good first few sectors but was again to scared thru Bergwerk, and the exitspeed on that is one of the most important once of the lap.
After 1 hour of restarting i finally naild the damn corner but got to greedy on the breakingzone before the second carrousell, but still ending up at 7:44.958 and kind of angry with myself
Restart after restart but then at 8:05 AM at my last possible atempt i went flying
354.7 km further this morning, but there it was, approaching the last turn... that went well!......
I have never been so proud to cross the line below my target time, the ring! i got it!
crossed the line in 7:44.655, and i can't express how happy i am with that,
i had to work for this, my Dualsense has never worked so hard
@Evilmuffin Thanks for the tips and the provided ghost to follow, really helped me out here
@Ramalhinho91 Thanks mate, tried 4th gear but every time i tried i could not slow down enough, ended up still doing it in 3th but thank sfor the tip!
I will upload my lap later because i had to run to get to work on time
Good luck foks hunting down the certificate
Certificate club, may i please enter?

I'm working on the weekly update, but in the meantime, here are your individual results (I have to produce this table for people new to the leaderboard, so may as well share it with you). @djolliea might finally have some stiffer competition at the top of our community leaderboard!Any chance I could be added to the GTP leaderboard?

Once you get the hang of it, the Porsche 919 is a treat to drive and reminds me of IMSA Petit Le Mans next week
However, the biggest downside is that after each push lap you need a cooldown lap to recharge the battery. Otherwise the electric motor turns off on the backstraight at 230km/h which costs almost half a second!

I've failed to get four golds. Three of which were down to my inability to overcome the shortcomings of the input device.
