150 miles in the BRZ this evening and seemed to have sorted sector 1 and 3 but forgotten how to drive 2. Managed to hook it together for 7 hundredths improvement over my best lap and tantalizing close to a 12.2xx
If they were thinking of sending us a Civic with the certificate we will actually have to wait a little 😅I wonder if they thought only a handful of people would beat the time, but ended up having roughly a thousand people managed the job 🤪
Oh boy...I thought I already drove the very slowest cars, but it turns out the Lancer is poor as well. I've driven it plenty of times before, and it's one of my favourite Gr.3's to drive alongside the Supra GT500. But it lacks power, a lot. Barely good enough for gold.Leaderboard

Rise and shine @Evilmuffin 😁After an hr and a half, I managed some tiny improvement. However the merical lap never happened, which would've put me in the 1:11.7s
My left leg is sore, and I can barely walk. @Gomario JSP , have fun screaming bloody murder at the TV in the morning. I'm sure you will best me by another few hundredths by the time I wake up 🤪

You called it!It‘s perfect, thanks a lot. It will be interesting to see if Lake Louise has a „phantom“ gold spike from the original gold time![]()
I was at Daytona this morning and lowered my pb to 1:47.564!
Now is that very close to gold, 3.17%
But can I, can I?![]()

While the battle is fun, it is a bit exhaustingRise and shine @Evilmuffin 😁
Seriously.....3 thousands of a second?!! This guy......every single time 🤣🤣
Hilarious battle mate!, I love it 🤣
The bazooka lap didn't work for me either, I was at .159 before the sweeper and ended up left on the sand (wich I never am there) .... I think that would have been a 11.6 but nooooo..... just sand between the teeth.
So the bad thing is.....this was my last session for now, I'm off to Belgium now for a week, so I'll doubt I revisit this one, cause there is a new one next week.....
The good thing.....

Happy hunting mate, we know a 11.6 or 11.7 is doable, I hope you nail it!, peace....I'm out 🤣🤣
*edit, swapped screenshot, is was the wrong one 🤣🤣 01:11.823
Definitely weak, can't get the car turn at turn one and the downhill left with abs normal.What do you recommend, ABS by default or weak with the steering wheel on Willow in BRZ?

Thanks.Sure, if you reach consistency and only a few invalidated laps it is there. It is still time left... Good luck!
Two more cars tested! One was a pleasant surprise, and the other a disappointment.Leaderboard

excellent work @TumeK5 - I’ll save you some time though… ignore the Subaru WRX Gr.3But for now, I gotta take a break, I think I've deserved one.Still have to do better at Daytona too, so small break from Gr.3 testing! Also, if you guys care for this, feel free to suggest the next car for me to run. I'll rule out the Peugeot and Citroën VGTs due to no interior...

I don't think I will ignore it when you put it like that...excellent work @TumeK5 - I’ll save you some time though… ignore the Subaru WRX Gr.3
I set a 46.3 pretty early on and I've been back about every day and I just can't find a groove there. I thought I would really love that car at that track but truthfully I don't care to ever drive the Daytona road course ever again. 😂Not much to show at Daytona today. I did another 30 laps but even my session best today was half a second off my PB. The one thing I will say is that I invalidated much fewer laps today than any other stint. The bus-stop feels a lot smoother, which is good practice for if I start a lap and get a good S1 and S2.
We'll see what comes tomorrow. I'm about ready to start Big Willow. Just thinking to get a safe Gold there. I want to do some stuff around single player.
The Daytona Road Course is not a particular favorite of mine. It really stems from Turn 1 in particular. Even as inconsistent as I've been at the bus-stop, I kinda like that part.I set a 46.3 pretty early on and I've been back about every day and I just can't find a groove there.

I needed a little bit of a break from the game, so I took a day off from it. I'm off work for the next 5 days (I have way too much PTO to use before the end of the year, and it's either use it or lose it@Dolph Drago You are awfully quiet these few days![]()
I did a quick race with it at the Ring (where I'm absolutely terrible) and it was one of the best races I've ever had in the game. Such a beautiful car for actual road courses. It's so forgiving and predictable and just intuitive at the limit.The Daytona Road Course is not a particular favorite of mine. It really stems from Turn 1 in particular.

I've put in about 20-30 laps each day since last Thursday. Decent progress in that time, but the closer we get to our optimal times the more difficult it gets to actually get there.
I really enjoy the car though, especially on racing tires.
I wouldn't be so sure. I still need a 3/4 of a tenth just to get into the 1:11's. Then another tenth to get by you. It'll be a tall order on such a short circuit.@Dolph Drago I already had my last lap for Big Willow yesterday. I'm sure by Thursday you will be ahead of me 😖
Other than the Olympic TT, have we had another TT at Deep Forest? I can't think of one off the top of my head. Something mad would be better whatever it may be (but please nothing on dirt or snow lol). I tend to finish higher up the overall leaderboards in more difficult handling cars than those with high downforce that everyone can push more easily.Now what are we getting next? Can they get something fun like mx-5 touring car at say ..deep forest? Or something mad like Ford GT-350 at Le Mans?
Now it's easy to check with @half_sourly's results thread!When was the last time we had Suzuka?

I felt rejuvenated after my one day break from GT7. I did 3 decently long sessions around Willow tonight. Each had a sub 1:12 optimal. I couldn't quite reach it, but I'm getting closer. What I really want to know is what in the world did I do in sector 2 on lap 4?? Oddly, I think it helped me through the final turn on my top lap. I was down by over a tenth after that sector, already chalking the lap up as a loss when I zoomed 'round the last corner. I think it was the lack of pressure - zero nerves assuming I had no chance to improve upon that lap. But when I looked at the split at the bottom of the screen coming off the corner onto the front straight, I was taken by surprise that I was about to set my personal best. Oh, by the way, I found another 'Muffin' on the leaderboard.I'm within spitting distance of him.
That lap 4 sector 2 time. How??
