As @Gomario JSP already answered, yeah I'm on controller. 😉
You're still getting faster mate, so we will see what the future brings. Keep pushing you're doing very well. 🍻

RA is torture, but I want to get gold. Still need just over a tenth of a second assuming the target doesn't move. Which it probably will on the last day. As decent as I am using wild, oversteery cars, I have to accept I flat out suck with ridiculously powered, high downforce machines.

Every night this week I pray that the Old Ones remain dormant so the RA top time wouldn't move any lower.
With my current 1:00.737 I'm just 0.19% tipped into gold territory.
I had several more sessions there at the beginning of the week but couldn't get a single non-red lap below 1:01 anymore. Driving x2019 just feels like ice skating with two rockets tied to your feet - you can get around very fast if you're lucky, you'll lose your legs if you are not.
T3 and T5 are still mystery to me. Getting a good exit after T7 in 3rd gear (with TC1) is non-reliable, 4th makes you lose time.
Very frustrating.
RBRS feels so much controllable and tangible after RA. Can't say I had too much fun, but at least I can see the improvement lap after lap.
Didn't expect much from the Willow TT - don't really like the taste of desert sand in my mouth after vainly tryng to ace the last curve.
But I was in for a big surprise! Old German lady turned up to be a hottie who can keep her ass tight to the ground. TC0 and zero assists are absolutely fitting here (even though I drive TC1 95% of the time).
No jerking around with gears, no power spinouts - just keep the line and slide a bit. One of my favourite combinations so far!
The last curve is still killing me though.

I was struggling to keep the merc on track and found asm so helpful, but then I realized it also kills my time. It's a countinous wheel squeaking and power cut.
Get some courage, removed it, tried be as smooth as possible and no squeaking at all, boom, 1s less
I think I can do little better, but happy for the huge lesson learned

Hello everyone, I went to bed early last night so I didn't post anymore, I will be coming home late this evening around 7-8pm, and then we have to unpack everything which is an hour process. It has been nice and enjoyable for me the past 2-3 days, not having to fight in the TT's. I'm hoping to earn a gold medal at RBR but it's gonna take time. I would love to visit all places of the U.K. in the future when I get my health stable enough. I don't feel comfortable right now. Sometimes my blood pressure will be low and I'll get light-headed.
Anyways my friend made me and my mom some pancakes, bacon, toast and hash browns for breakfast this morning so we didn't have to cook, see we have a long drive. And I love drinking orange juice, it's loaded with potassium which my level was low in that mineral. I guess @Evilmuffin left for his trip yesterday evening. I feel so bad for complaining and getting upset, this is a great, warming community and it needs love, positivity and strength to keep going.
So, I'll check in with you all later.

Halo Martin,
Yes please, stay among the humans, on the right side of the Force! Your (fantastic) gold score is safe now, no need to push anymore
It's always painful to see good friends (this not includes our FOTC*) leaving us for others galaxies. Earth is a fabulous place, if we except Spain and Portugal
Please, SLOW DOWN!!

I came back to the desert, to find peace, serenity, and some tenths... For the record, my current PB is: 1:34.923 but with the certainty there are still several tenths to gain.
After few laps, I have a first improvment with the German granny:
My 1st sector is very consistent (29.665), while I'm still struggle in the 2nd sector to find the way to keep a maximum of speed along the turns (32.282). The 3rd one is now correct 9 times on ten (30.815).
On the second session, my first sector was a bit slower as usual but correct (29.723), but my 2nd was much faster (33.877). I was very happy to have a fast 3rd sector (30.850): 1:34.450 🥇
My new optimal is just incredible:
In fact, my record on the 1st sector is 29.615. So theorically, I could enter the 1:34.2xx with lots of luck and dedication. And very honestly, 1:34.224 would be just perfect...
👌
Sorry, I've forgot to save the replay of my fastest lap but there are some others available:
Yes 11 days to go, but I will enjoy every second of this TT until the end.
ATTACK!!!
