This layout cutting out the big banky boy really helps me to not lose time to P1, I'm terrible at that corner and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong there, thankfully not a problem this time.

Are you on controller? I have typically similar pace on both pad and wheel (depending on the track/car), but find BBB miles harder to get a good run on a controller.

Awesome replay. Thanks for the upload. You carry so much speed through T3 and the esses. Wow. I noticed that you delayed your turn in point into the very first S quite a lot. Is this instrumental to then take the other two at such high speeds or am I overthinking this?

Thanks! :cheers: My lines are just my best attempt at following whoever has the fastest replay ghost available (although I'm not always successfully following).

Yes, the line to enter the esses is going to be very important as it will determine your line through the rest of the esses and subsequently how much speed you can carry through. If you turn in too early and try to carry the speed, you will overshoot the entry into the second apex, in this case meaning an invalidated lap as you go off track and cut the corner, or having to slam the brakes to try and stay within track limits, either way a ruined lap.

Remember, the racing line is the line that carries the most speed whilst minimising the distance travelled through the corner. You want to make the corner as "straight" as possible, as this means less turning and therefore more speed carried. You'll notice on the exit of the 3rd apex, I ran very wide and had to slow down a bit, and that cost me probably 1.5 tenths all the way up that straight.

Yep, on PS4 controller. I suspected the wheel had an easier time but I've also seen some other controller users take it better than me as well.
 
I can’t tell if I hate Yas Marina or if I’m going to grow to love it. I’m a long way from being proficient in that third sector still but it’s beginning to come together for me. It does have a bit of everything; fast straights, fast corners, slow complex corners.

I want to love to hate it or hate to love it. I can’t decide. For now, I got into gold, even though not exactly a stellar performance, but it’s the most I can do for now.

I’m also 3 for 3.

Since installing QR2 on my DD Pro, I've never had a disconnection, but it happened three times last night.

Has this happened to you too ?

Perhaps a bug in the Spec 3 ?
