Morning!

Went from .565 to s whopping .554 whoop whoop 🤣🤪

I did exactly stole 1 place back on the global board ( at the time )

Average S1 for me and a tenth slower in S2 than optimal 😢

First hairpin 😱

Hey folks,

Sardegna is a 10/10 challenge for me, just so much fun. Made some good progress as well and was even unexpectedly able to sneak past @Gomario JSP. Sorry for contributing to your German trauma mate, you‘ll have to go again 😄

I had quite a few 1:16.3xx S2 splits, even a 1:16.276 but just couldn‘t figure out S3 at all. Things got much better when I started staying in third for accelerating out of the first lefthander in S3. But it‘s still hit and miss.

Happy lapping!

Nice job buddy, I was hoping that you would have a hard time matching that but I was wrong again 🤣

Thanks mate, I'm sure I won't stay up for long.

Also (almost) hesitant to mention it, I returned to Tokyo for a bit after over a week. I had really bad technical glitches last week where the steering wheel would get stuck on turn in, then suddenly jump to the correct position a second later. The best I could muster was a 1:55.5 under these conditions. Then someone told me they had the same problem and using a rental car fixed it. Tried it, and it was a night and day difference, way past placebo territory. I beat my previous PB after 3 laps and after 7 more I arrived comfortably in 1:54

Funny thing is that when I drove the car with the broken steering I had to learn to be super precise, so driving it now with working steering the car felt super easy to control 🤣

Nice result!

I haven't been back to Tokyo to be fair and don't think I am going to, I always have a lot of difficulty to focus on 2 trials at the same time but if they are good I might sometimes, otherwise it's just a week of blasting and on to the next one.
Tokyo is one I have mixed feelings about, thr car is absolutely fire, but those damn walls make it kind of to frustrating for me, I have some time on the table but I think I'll run the WRX another time before the next one ( wich is hopefully the update RX7 ) 🤪

Good to see you climbing up the ladder buddy, you are getting faster and faster and to fast for me 😡🤣

Germans..... yeah... nice people 🤣🫶

Hi guys, did you have a good weekend?
@TheNormsk motivated me to return to the shade of the wind turbines.

Nice session... a goal, I hope to join the club. 59.
Good evening to all

I jinxed myself saying I thought I might be able to go sub 2min. Tonight, I couldn’t get better that 2:00.5. Ugh.

I blame @bliprunner🤨. He went quicker and hid his replay so the prior ghost disappeared. I was gelling with that one.🤬🤣

So I’ve been chasing @Tidgney VR ghost. I can go faster in sectors 1 and 2 but never at the same time. One time I matched sector 3 but I usually lose all my time in that one.

It was time for a break..
