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!

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 :lol:

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 :lol:

@Evilmuffin Thanks for the tips and the provided ghost to follow, really helped me out here :bowdown:

... I finally ended up with a, for me, really nice and clean lap I can be very satisfied with. 1’37.191! :cheers: 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.

This was a request to help people see how many places they're likely to gain by gaining a certain amount of time.

This was a request to help people see how many places they're likely to gain by gaining a certain amount of time. I've had to make it much longer than usual to have some more meaningful data in there.View attachment 1292658
Top work as always @half_sourly ! I'm gutted I didn't find more time to improve my time at DTS, but at least I can say I topped the GTP tables for drivers of the Evo Gr.3! 🙃
 
Ngl hybrids piss me off. Lap 2 you lose 7/8 tenths because the battery is flat. Give me a proper car ffs. Tried the only car in the top 50 that isn't hybrid and its the Bugatti but I was nearly 2 seconds slower off the bat so would take a very good lap to be competitive I think.

So yeah.. back to not spending much time on these TT for awhile.

I quite like it. Fast(ish) lap, chill lap, fast(ish) lap, etc, it's more relaxing.
Also means you can go a bit too fast round the last bend without worrying about messing up the following lap.
Still don't like this combo very much - can never get the esses right. I struggled with the single player race.

I do best by doing many laps in a row building on the previous lap etc. So this just breaks my rhythm completely. Normally I'm gold within 4/5 laps. Just scraped it after about 50 miles. It won't stick though.
 
True indeed, but I can't sleep for the rest of my life when I get stuck on 45.0 ...... that ain't gonna cut it 🤣🤣
But it's a fight, getting faster, but also make more mistakes...... did 4 laps just now, all 45.5, one corner.......gets me now EVERY lap 😡 me and "Bergwerk" ain't no friends anymore, I loose ALL my time there, if I take it 10 times, it's 10 times different, I just have NO idea how to approach this one, I brake at the blue tarmac line but have no idea when to turn in .......

Tips? 🤣
No, unfortunately no tips. I am on 7:53 :grumpy:
 
So far a 1:06.8 with an optimal of 1:06.4 on controller after about a handful of laps with the 919. I think I can manage to put together a gold lap with some more seat time if the gold threshold doesn't drop anymore lol.


EDIT: Dropped it down to that 1:06.4 now. I have that sinking feeling this might be a Silver round for me ending my streak of a good several golds in a row. I'm wondering if its worth trying any other cars. I noticed several Audi VGT's up there so I gave it a shot and not even close for me. Maybe the Toyota hypercar since it's hybrid doesn't drain as fast?

Still in gold for the Ring and Suzuka though.

Still catching up on all I have missed so far.

Good results for my second day back, this time at Tsukuba. Didn't take too many laps either ... But it would be nice to be a little safer into Gold territory :nervous:

I just noticed my fastest lap isn't on my sector screenshot. Oh well.
