Congratulations on your gold lap at Tsukuba!, one more in the books!
Le Mans, i must say that's a tricky one Chris, the track is long and needs a lot of concentration, the tracklimits are sharp but understandable, but the car is a handfull.
But you can def. set a descent time with AT and TCS on here, because i think TCS at zero is not the way to go for you here.
maby silver is the way to go, because 3:41.9xx for gold is quite a struggle.
My advice is just start and focus on the first part of the track first, dunlop en Tertre Rouge due to the long straight after, for me that's the most tricky part of the track somehow.
just work your way up the track that way and get to know the downforce a bit,
and remember...... it doesn't realy like turning under braking so coast a bit in the corners can def help you.

I'm back, I'm fixing to eat, I decided just to stop at a fast food joint and get some breakfast items so I'm fixing to eat.
@Gomario JSP I hate the Tetre rouge sharp right turn after the straightways and chicanes, I can never get my line right and I end up going in the sand 75% of the time. I misjudge when to brake and what amount of speed I need to use. So, I have to embrace my creativity and find a solution to make my drive easier. It is a time killer and eater. Lol, I wish I could avoid it by taking a shortcut, but...
PD won't let that happen!
I think I'm experienced with Barcelona so I won't worry about that right now. I have 2 weeks to clock my time there so it's not a major rush for me.

Here's the latest time trial guide for those interested! You don't have to abuse the engine braking if you don't want to and that's what I was focused on this morning! It was rank 1 for a little while but I've dropped a little since, and my pad lap was nearly a top 10 time at the time!

Collected my 2Mil for Tsukuba and ran a Sardegna grinder this morning so the bank account got a nice bump (no thanks to PD with the "generous" donation of 10K for my DW ticket lol). Then I took my gorgeous matt black AMG out at Catalunya with the controller and managed to set a decent bronze time in only a few laps which tells me gold should be in play here for me once I get serious with the wheel rig tonight. I absolutely love this throaty torque-monster of a car! Such a pure beast...you can almost feel the Gs pushing you back into the seat as you get on the gas.

In. For now anyways.. There seem to be some corners where braking early for turn in is beneficial whereas others you need to thrash it in and slide it through. It's a tricky combo but lots of fun!

What a love hate relationship this car can throw up. If you can control the overseer, you'll find the limit of understeer.
Still another fun TT Gold
Enjoy a 2% lap. More to come after this loose gold lap

Hey y'all. I struck the pot of gold.
I ran 45 more laps and finally on Lap 44 I clocked a 1'12.886. My hands, thumbs and fingers are sore. I really want to keep going and get a sub-1'12.500, but my body is telling me I should stop. My main focus was to achieve the gold time, so really I don't have to do this anymore. I think I'll leave it at that.
@myH88 thank you for telling me your settings, I switched ABS and CSA to weak and the controller sensitivity to 10 and it worked finally. I knew I had it in me tonight. So this will be my 6th gold out of probably 90-100. I am definitely improving greatly everyday by learning tricks and stunts from you guys, I will never leave this community and website.
So, my plan Sunday is to begin the McLaren TT at Le Mans and see how I do there. It's been a long day for me, today does not seem like Wednesday to me.
Thank you all for your help and support,
Yeesss Sir! I knew you could do it!
I'm happy that you got the GOLD and that my settings were a little helpful for you... @Chris30 the golden boy!

It's not okay, Evil!
I met an old friend today, completely panicking.
His car is gone since this morning 🤔
So, give it back, buy or rent one and try again and we will forget about it!

Hi guys (and Greeks)!
Really no time to give to GT7 (64 kms today), so I can't expect miracles.
I've golded Tsukuba (not proud of my medium score) with the Civic and banked the Cr. 2.000.000.
I'm sure I could have get closer to 1:12 flat but...
Anyway, it's still a gold reward and I'm ok with it.
Spain is a nice colorful country, so I should have a colorful AMG to race in the new TT.
The more observant among you will see that there is some little orange here and there but not too much... It's "elegant", "understated", refined and should do the trick.
After few laps without ghost or tutorial, I already have a decent silver score: 1:53.434
Gold is clearly doable for me, I only need time to practice and to lap (10 laps is about 20 mins).
The car is great, the track is not to complex, I simply need to be more careful to the braking points and the apexes if I want to enter the yellow territory.
Happy laping, friends

That was actually harder then I'd like to admit and way harder then LeMans for me.
Never been good on Catalunya and with cars that oversteer so much. Hoping that this will be enough for gold and I don't have to come back 😅

Man my Merc is broken. Its not the oversteer it's the chronic understeer that's my issue 🤣 note to self check the front dampers and springs 🤣
