Due to your tip using ABS on normal, I’m down to 48.819, about 7/10ths into Silver.

As soon as I tried the Porsche I said goodbye to the Yaris... This one is great and I aim for a sub-47 lap time whether it will get me gold or not. Here I can control my driving and know how and where to improve.
The TT with the 400R was also great and it wasn't too hard. You guys we're simply too fast to get me some shiny metal... 😯
So the fun is back and there is a lot to improve for me. At least I remembered to use the DRS-button during my second stint... 😂

Not much time for racing this week, but grabbed some time last night and headed to Daytona. I will go back to Lake Louise at some point to improve upon my mediocrity and see if I can drag myself to silver. Porsche event is much more to my liking though (despite corner 1 restarts)… targeting a 45.5 I think

Grabbed my Master Super License earlier today (Lake Louise thankfully didn't take as long as anticipated), then got the itch to get back on tonight at Daytona. I nearly lost it trying to correct my slide in turn 1, but the lap turned out okay, anyway.

Both you and @Gomario JSP are 2/100 faster than me....I guess I will have to put in some laps tomorrow

Spent some time on the Daytona again and there’s still a lot within my reach if I can nail that chicane when the first two sectors are good.
This one was good chicane and not so good sector 1 but glad to get this.

46.4 for me on the first session at Daytona, what a fun combo. I have no idea how the top guys are carrying so much speed through that last chicane, I lose a lot of time there!

I have very limited time today, maby tomorrow morning for another session, but I think I'm just above you, few thousands if I remember, both somewhere in the 45.6 but I'll try to sharpen it, no clue how people get low 45' 's here!?@Dolph Drago

You're kidding ?! I just need a 1:44 and then i'll rest 😅
Note: tested with countersteering assistance on strong to make the bus stop as smooth as possible. Try it out if you're struggling there !

Got in a few more laps at Daytona, dropped another .300, still feels like alot more left in the tank 
My worst nightmares have not turned out to be true for Lake Louise. No crafty alien secret routes found to my understanding. Have had two sessions this weekend on this, and it is actually super fun! Just the most difficult ever TT to get consistancy and a full lap. Had real trouble getting under 1:45.5, just today had a session with ten restarts with one marathon stint of 24 laps in there. On that stint alone, my optimum would have been a superb 1:44.864 but the best actual lap just 1:45.595. This 1:45.357 that I ended the day with is a fine lap, but damn, could have been so much better.

Just tried the Daytona TT for the first time, and my god, it's so satisfying. They even finally did something about the ridiculous chicane track limit penalty so now you can just floor it without worry.
Seriously, why was that even a thing? You have a nice, juicy, wide kerb just begging to be driven over, but no, white line is bulging towards the race track which heavily compromises the exit trajectory and speed.
But hear me out...
WHY CANNOT WE START A GOOD LAP BY RESTARTING? AND WHY DOES THE DRS GO WINK WINK IN THE LAST CURVE?

Ooffff...I had no idea how I did not crash at the chicane and pull a 16.25 in that sector at the same time

Judging by your sector times, you absolutely nailed the bus stop. I think you can easily shed 0.3 just from those first two turns.

Yeah.... that's the thing thats scares me ...... 🤣🤣
But I have to admit Mr Muffin..... I cheated just a little bit on this lap .... ABS on default and tried a few laps with countersteering on the Dualsense, this lap it's on weak, I have the feeling it makes me slower in the low speed corners cause it rotates more difficult, but I had just a tiny bit more stability on the busstop like @Boabdulrahman mentioned in an earlier post, I have seen a lot of 28.8xx on S1 and .4xx before the busstop, but then it's a 1/10 hit or miss for me, so a 45. low is possible but needs pure luck for me, I will try to get better in it the next 2 weeks but man..........
I suck at the busstop 🤣🤣

Well I've got some bad news to tell you guys, I tried the snow TT and got in the 2'01.000's. I had the TCS set to 2 but Nebu told me to turn it off. I have a video that I will post later in the week. Maybe Monday or Tuesday. It's gonna be a haul trying to get below 1'50.000. I hope a miracle happens soon.

Well he's not wrong.
I don't know how to tell you this, but you should never ever use TC on loose surfaces, there's literally no benefit, as, especially on snow, wheelspin will be inevitable.
Usually you'd want as little wheelspin as possible, but in this TT, controlled, modest wheelspin is actually preferred to get the car to rotate.

Had another run at Daytona for a nice gain. Diminishing returns now and that bus stop is still hit or miss. Might give the Yaris one last go

I spend one day away from the game to celebrate Thanksgiving with the family, and @Evilmuffin & @Gomario JSP go absolutely nuts with their times. 
I've got my work cut out for me.

Oh come on....we all know that you will pull a miracle lap out of no where and get into the 1:44s 🤣I spend one day away from the game to celebrate Thanksgiving with the family, and @Evilmuffin & @Gomario JSP go absolutely nuts with their times.

The Porsche drives really fantastic in this TT, if only I wasn't too lazy to use DRS, then I would certainly be able to go faster, but since I had already achieved gold in my 2nd lap with a sufficient lead over silver, I'm missing out some motivation to drive further.
But as I said, the Porsche drives excellently with enormous grip, that's also the key for most people who are still having problems... trust the car more than you think, it can drive through the corners faster than expected AND you can very much accelerate early.
