For those who, like me, have no idea which layout this is:

Man, that space between the last and first turns should be

The rest will involve screaming.

This is how a car should sound, this is just a big boys toy with a way to big turbo fitted onder the bonnet 🤣, hitting boost in 4th gear kills you 🤣.....when boost finally arrives 🤣
Very cool car to get to know this way......but come oooon..... walls everywhere?! 😡🤣
I invalidated more laps on the remote session just now than in the last 3 timetrials 🤣

But the banker lap is in, into the 55's

Finally able to get out to Autopolis in the M3 and netted a 2:03.844, but with a theoretical best in the 03.2s, so I feel like maybe a high 02 isn't out of the question. It was going good until it stopped going good and I had to call it, because if I continue at it right now, I'm just going to piss myself off, stay up late (1AM last night because of the concert, so I'd like to get some sleep tonight) and likely accomplish nothing.
 
Yeah got what I expected from this one, still learning the track but it's gonna be one of those TT where you hold your breath and flirt with the walls to get a gold by under a tenth. Did 6 laps and so far a safe silver, need to find 2 seconds though, let's see what happens.

Couldn't resist to try when I got back home when I found out the wife was on the phone ( that just takes hours 🙈🤣)
I am rather consistent In a .8 after T1.....ofcourse I totally messed up T1 on the lap below....one turn and already 2 tenth behind but managed to not scrape any walls for the rest of the lap 🤣

It's just scary and its going to be hell to get top 100 for me on this one....

Fast ninjas @Metalgear9493 and @Vule amazing lap times from both of you, especially huge congrats on P1 to @Metalgear9493 so can I ask you for one small favor pretty please. I mean this is valid for all ninjas on this forum, but for you two I could actually find your replays :)

I am doing some video studying of your laps, and I need only one frame from your videos, so if you can share, I would hugely appreciate it. Task = Play your TT lap replay in the game, but without visible HUD controls, use camera you usually use when you set fastest times, and frame I need is exactly where you hit the brakes on first corner, from one of current TTs that will say. And it must be that very frame, not "I brake approximately here". You pause replay, nudge video until you visually see, or muscle memory see, "I hit brake pedal exactly here", take printscreen of that frame, please double please. :)

No secrets what I am actually looking for. I will then find that frame in your replays, turn on the HUD and see if ABS lamp turns red in exactly that frame or not, earlier or later? To my understanding ABS lamp should lit in that moment we press brake pedal, but I honestly see it turning red when both of you are approaching corner and still have some throttle pressed. True, we are talking some hundreds of seconds but still. I mean, how is your foot work, do you fully release throttle pedal before you hit brakes or you start pressing brake at same time you start releasing throttle pedal? Just curious and would appreciate if you could tell me so I figure out what replays are showing, what is accurate, and how much accurate or error it is in replays?

Also one small question to @Metalgear9493 , have you really set WR on Logitech G29 or I have missed something, I am off the PS for a month or so currently.

Example here under, from Canada CGV, @Vule you are approaching first corner, 150m board, lower part of board visible under the rear mirror, Throttle is still shown as full throttle, but exactly in this frame, ABS lamp turns red in that very frame. And then, first 0.200 seconds after that, Brake bar starts showing first red pixels/color bar from bottom. That is what I am trying to figure out. ( I just assume that you brake like it is shown in first image, where you still can see part of 150 m board, when ABS lamps turns red, and not at that moment in time, what is shown in second image, when you passed that board?)

I know I mentioned only two of you here, but I gladly hear opinions of other ninjas, even If I did not found your replays, thank you.

how is your foot work
Probably should be much better honestly

do you fully release throttle pedal before you hit brakes or you start pressing brake at same time you start releasing throttle pedal?
Press the brakes and at the same time release the throttle.

Regarding your doubts about the red ABS light and brake bar indicator, as I recall in the replays the bar has a delay of a few tenths, maybe that's what's causing the confusion :)

What I usually do in time trials, always following the fastest ghost available, and pick my braking points exactly as the ghost brakes, but 0.3 seconds later, because that's my offset usually. It's not always the easiest thing, but it's the most efficient for me :)
 
Starting to feel the S2000 at Tokyo Expressway. At first, I didn't realize how important the gearing was for this combo. Once I began to short-shift thru T1, then later learning where to downshift and where to maintain 6th gear, and then on the last hairpin shift up to 5th early, I gained a lot of time. I'll press forward, I think I can go beyond my 1:55.4xx. Don't fear the walls... the walls are in your mind only :) By the way, awesome how the breaks heat up and glow...I love small touches like that.

Ran a fairly long stint at Tokyo tonight in the Amuse, and I have to say I really enjoyed this combo, and I'm pretty surprised and happy with the result. I guess this one just matches my style well. I'm not even sure if there much more in this one for me, but I'm sure I'll give it another try or two.

Morning fellas

Early hours and the sound of turbo spooling bouncing off the walls of Tokyo.
Took me ages to even get a .9 on S1, and power delivery felt different compared to yesterday, definitely shows that feeling in thr hands is not the same everytime you play.
After to much miles S1 finally came down again to .8xx, fastest. 810 but scraped on the left hander after that.

That corner plus the fast left sweeper into the first " bridge" with the pilars on the right is so difficult!, for me realy frustrating because it's like 1 out of 10 I don't invalidate there....I just can't get the line right.
Lap below still has a lot of room on the right because I was a little on the save side

Frustrating morning but with progression though, ending up 1:55.369.
I have realy no idea how anybody can set a 54 low here 😱🙏🤣

Yes, well the G923 technically, but they are very similar. I brake around or just before the 150 metre board at turn 1, but that's not important. The most crucial part is your steering form at the very end of the braking zone when you're turning the most.

Assuming sim racing is your main hobby that you spend a lot of time on, why have you not opted for a more high end wheel that you can attach different rims on, with better FFB and build quality?

In any case it is really impressive that you are fighting for world records with all the different wheels you have had.

Back on top ladies and gentlemen! I almost made a mess of the final double left by slightly missing the first apex, but the salvage job was top notch with how I found a line out wide while drifting in 3rd to keep up the speed.

Helped also that I executed 2 perfect gear shifts down the final straight, not so simple to do that when you're heart is beating out of your head!
