Ran a couple of stints on LeMans today.
Fairly happy with this time. Not sure if 39s are possible, but I think they might be. I'm still making several errors, so I need to get a clean lap together.
Such precision timing required to get good times here.
(On a separate note, I ran my first ever online race in GT7 today - Race A at Daytona. I'd been thinking about trying it for a long time and finally bit the bullet. Qualified first and came in first. That's definitely not going to last

lol...you are definitly much faster than those in the E lobby. Try start from the back, it is more fun (until someone knock you off track) 🤪(On a separate note, I ran my first ever online race in GT7 today - Race A at Daytona.

Had an hour to kill this afternoon so jumped into the McLaren. Got to within 14 thousandths of my best from yesterday which was promising, but then spent the next 30 minutes visiting different parts of the scenery before hooking this lap up. In theory there’s another tenth or two at the most in the lap, but I’m not sure I have the patience to chase it

Had a chance to get back to Tsukuba and improved my time but couldn’t get the optimal time of 11.8 to come together.
Still pleased with the improvement.

I think i did around a hundred miles this morning on Le Mans and de rest on the Ring to setup different cars.
Funny fact was that is was over half a second quicker on the first 2 sectors than yesterday??
but kept stuffing it up, this lap i completely lost it at the final curb, and def was a 38..
At least i sandwiched myself today @Dolph Drago

Le Mans is not a strong circuit for me. 3 times now I have squeezed into Gold at Le Mans. Each time shortly afterwards the target time changes. The last time I was in by nearly half a second, and I thought that would be good enough to stick, but the recent improvement at the very top means that I am now out again by less than 1/10th. So I will have to try again.
It's quite fun, but I hate to think how many invalidated laps I have done already on this one - most of them invalidated before the Mulsanne straight.

Muhahaha 😈. I did have a go last night when I got back from work but that’ll be it I think so that time is final! It would be nice to see resident FWD specialist @330_D as well as yourself get top 100 for this one 😎
you know me too well! 🤣🤣 for this it had to be a shot of import strength Sake 😎😂
Back to Le Mans… Frustration and revelation aplenty. The combo of ridiculous track limits, very tail happy corner exits and inconsistent curb physics make this one a real tough cookie. The revelation was to go back to ABS default rather than weak which gives me better turn in at a few corners at the expense of some nice late braking for slow right handers; seems to gain me some tome
I set some great laps invalidated by the finest of track margins which nearly resulted in the PS5 going out the window but in the end I broke the 3:38 barrier and got onto the 3:37s despite a lively sector one! @Chrome_PuPXD sorry buddy, your move!
I would love to grind this one but it’s a busy and stressful week at work for me; I’m on a course until Sunday evening and a lot riding on it! Would really appreciate y’all’s encouragement to get through it 🙏🏼
Might get a session in this evening so watch this space, a sub 3:37.5 would be nice 😊

Wow, you all are smoking at Le Mans, impressive times. I just woke up 10 minutes ago. I feel refreshed now that I got some sleep last night. I've got to get on the board somehow, I may have to stand in front of the TV to get a better view of the track and figure out my braking points.

I know that you know this. Sometimes you just have to break things up into small enough pieces to handle. One sector, one turn, one leg of a flight, one day, one hour, one minute. Just know that there are lots of people that are hoping the best for you. Thanks for your time and insights. I look forward to your posts.

Lol, damn I'm 100 pages behind because of my ridiculous schedule, I'm on Page 787. How are your injuries guys, I was reading about some of them. I had a serious one in my left ankle, an infected blood vessel that ruptured. It stung, burned, itched and it felt like someone poured acid on it. I had to be put on antibiotics for 10 days with supervision from an adult/nurse.
I'm recovered about 65-70% though, but still it's been a challenge for me, I have a wheelchair to get around easier around the house.
I only played soccer 4-5 times in my entire life, not really a fan of it.

I'm still stunned by how this TT is developing.
The TT is still young, but, wow, 100.30% from P2 lasting over the whole weekend is big
But then I recall I spent some time on the dailies instead of the TT, so, yes, this may explain why 100.30% is still there.
Let's go back to work

Second day in Le Mans.
I have increased my PB, it could be sure for gold now.
However, The last curve was completely missed 😰. It might been a 3:40 without this mistake.
Now, i'am waiting for the real race next week-end. It could be rainy...

I spent some time this weekend driving around in the Ferrari 500 Mondial Pinin Farina Coupe '54 and let me tell you, that is one of the nicest-driving cars I think I've ever experienced in a game. It's an absolute joy to drive! Now, I want a TT in that at Alsace in the evening. PD...Make. It. Happen!

Yeah, I just wanted to try it and see what it was like. I've heard horror stories of bad etiquette. I don't want to get knocked off, nor do I want to be that guy
I'm just going to ease myself into it I think

Third session at Tsukuba, done 15 laps this time.
I tried to get gold, and thought it was done, but the gold time had changed since the last time I memorized it, I thought it was 1:12.982 and I achieved a 1:12.972... but it is in the 1:12.3XX now ! Which is well below my optimal time so my hopes are thin.
