Same here, the fact that they start you off in Key Largo is not amusing, and with so much flat-out, it is not the most interesting track. I thought I'd give it 100 miles to judge if I'd spend more time on it. I made my decision after 48 miles.

haha its not naughty, kerbs are always track limits, you can definitely get gold in quite a few cars though!

Well, you know, until they're inexplicably not.

Or someone puts bollards on them.

I'm thinking this should be an easier, fun one compared to the one that just ended. If that track were real, PD would have an awful lot of lawsuits regarding people running into a wall headfirst at 150 mph...and curb that put you into low Earth orbit. :lol:

I wasn't going to do the GR1 but I visited Arkeys's stream and he mentioned it wasn't as bad as expected on the controller, so i did gave it a try remotely, placing the car on the last curb of the busstop is a gamble remotely but did manage to have a few descent laps in, but not realy my kind of TT tbh.
Plenty of time out there

He’s sitting at the top of my leaderboard but like Sourly I did maybe 50 miles got a second clear for gold and just moved on from it.

Not something I enjoy when I’m 63rd in daily A smashing MX5s around the same track. They don’t compare to be honest for me.
 
Hi,

I sit here - Somewhat stunned to be honest! I have never had this good a start to a TT before. Ever!

I seem to recall that one of my earliest really good results came at Daytona. My first top 500 came at Daytona and now this...

I have 2 weeks to get that infernal 'bus stop' perfected, as that is where I am failing right now. The rest of the lap is pretty much bang on. I can hardly wait! 😳

Very best regards to all here.

Ian.
 
1:31.058 on controller. Not bad for my first session, unfortunately didn't quite get the sub 31 but it's 100% possible! I wasn't sure which car to go for in this one between the Peugeot and the Genesis because they both seem to be dominating the leaderboard, however since the Peugeot has the WR I assumed it must be the more optimal car but then again the Genesis also proves to be really good here.

Oh I'm so angry at myself for leaving the Zonda TT for the last night, I had two solid sessions 10 days ago, and haven't touched it since. And now I'm so dead tired, had a mega session (in terms of mileage), my shoulders and arms are killing me, and still I didn't manage to put it into 28s. And it had potential, but it just wasnt meant to be.

First sector in this lap was below average, I had many many .150, .160, even had one .129 which was faster than P2 ghost, but every single time I did such a first sector, the car just wouldn't listen to me in the esses of S2. So, lost a tenth here, lost who knows how many tenths in the death chicken - I just couldn't properly do a single run through there, don't know why, so twichy, bumpy, not able to position the car properly on the right and always a crappy angle, losing a bunch of time.



Nevertheless, I guess it's a solid lap timewise, but the bitter taste remains...

Ditto, man! Those were some amazing first sector splits, I couldn’t match that, for me I was quite happy with .250 and even continuing .340 laps tbh, I started getting the esses pretty well under control for most of the final session but painfully I never properly made it through the chicane. I just can’t stand chicanes on racing tracks, it’s such a clown thing to ruin a track with.

Had .750 at that split before the chicane at best but several pretty good potential runs at .800 all ending in a chicane crash. I don’t think a 28 was there for me personally but clearly at least a low .200 or .100 with a clean passage and decent final corner... so yeah.

I feel you, it truly sucks to have invested that much time and energy without result when all the potential was there and the lotto wouldn’t hit. Three sessions and 1,700 kms... :banghead: Not going to spend that kind of time anytime soon, clearly not worth it.
 
Because i'm used to do all the Gr. 1 races on this track (menu book and weekly races) on RH tires, it took me some time to get used to the later breaking with the soft rubber on the 919.

But with my eyes closed and my a....hole pinched, i even somehow managed to make it thru the Bus Stop chicane:

I don't think this is good enough to remain gold, we'll see ...

And yes, this is much less entertaining than the Zonda TT!
 
Morning folks,

I made my early morning progression again!,

From 1:31.467 to a whopping 1:31.466 :lol: :lol:
This one is very different between Remote play on the laptop and on the TV, maby it's the delay... the 120hz.. idk but i must say..... it was more managable on the crappy setup :lol::lol:,

Well.... there was progression though :lol:

Just be persistent, if you do this every day, by the end you will maybe even reach .450 :D
