Another improvement, left some time in S1, but S2 and S3 were spot on.😌

It’s absolutely an incredible lap time!!!

Following up from my post I finally got a gold, 2:15.1xx. Hopefully the bar does not move lower in the coming days! I realised a simple thing: I was not turning my steering wheel enough and being too slow with my inputs. I think this improved me as a driver over all.

Second stint at Road Atlanta, entered silver zone, gold will be difficult though. 2 days left to try.

At least dropped down below a 1:28.500 with a .452 today. Optimum was a low .3, but I was no longer able to string a solid lap together after that.

Lap seemed fairly smooth...and noticeable issues for improvement?

Got the camry down to a high 14. Did not enjoy, shall collect my monies.

Morning fellas!

So, i had multiple sessions in the Crown and for some reason i couldn't realy find the right lines, sure top 100 secured with a 12.8 but looking at my personal leaderboard that wasn't realy enough, besides it's a slidy roadcar so there should be more.
Watching @Metalgear9493 's lap ( thanks for that btw ) i knew what the problem was, not enough YEeeet out of the first tunnel into the second one and throttle management myself further to the right all the way over the double yellow to oversteer a bit into the left hander, this ... together with feeling a bit better today mindfully my times came down a bit.
And strangely i ran a first PB after 16 miles , and not much later ( 41 miles) i ran this.

There is still a tenth for sure but i am happy to split two of my nemesis friends @bigfluffy888 and @Manimal.
But beeing in the same second as the top..... nope.. not gonna happen so 26th it is, and still 1.2 seconds of the lead

Not to shabbyy at all after 41km

The Terror board

So, on the leaderboard with the badge collector decal

I'm in the same boat, mate. I've just hit my limit and nowhere near a top 100.

Great lap btw looks near-perfect to me!

Man, sector 1 is always such a struggle at Road Atlanta, T2 and T5 in particular. The amount of restarts is borderline ridiculous.

Compared to Damian I lost .150 in T2/3, amazingly I managed to stay perfectly equal through the crazy left (turn 5), lost another .120 in the slow double right 90 degree turns, and then the big time loss, freaking .300 in the final turn 10A/B.

There is obviously some time left to pick up on that lap but the correct decision is probably to give up and do something else tonight, feels like the position and percentage reward for the time and energy investment needed isn't worth it, a .0 could happen or even into 27 if everything works out but chances are slim.

This is a cool idea but it's a bit late for me in the UK sadly

Same boat for me, I eyed SNAIL racing league but the time schedules are not compatible with time zone.

That's kinda where I'm at. Maybe a linear potentiometer could help for getting back on the throttle...maybe not.

 

[nostradavor2]

best time with road car is 2 seconds slower than safety car.. is it really that much of a difference?
