This morning I get up in 5 and went to Ring, made 320km.
Two walid laps with funny/sad time, one 9:04.508 and one 570.
My best is 9:04.500 and I'm at 3.00% because leading alien improved even more.

Not sure will I be able to pull better time.

I returned to Germany after winning the Power Pack races, which are also held on the Schleife....
I managed a 9' 04.461...

I still have a little bit to improve, but on the other hand, I want to believe that it will be enough because I'm starting to get fed up with the green hell...😂😂😂

Gold also at Monza and RBR... February is off to a good start... 😂


Edit:

I say I can do better because I invalidated a 03.352 in the ‘last’ turn, yes... the last turn... 😭😭😭

I scraped the right side of the car on the barrier!!!... All I had to do was cross the line!!!...😭😭

I think the whole region heard me... and my wife gave me a telling-off for getting myself into such a state at 76 years old...😂😂😂

Hey Nico!
We are extremely close in lap time as usual. Getting a great lap time for us required winning the final chicane lottery twice in the same lap. Maybe we will win next time!

Here is my final attempt.

I saw Osawa 😅

I tried to pass in front, but to no avail.

Well done :cheers:
 
Happy weekend everyone (and great to see @Dan_Tes back) - nice long session this morning.

RBR first - slidey beast but good fun. First 100 miles, no aids, decent banker lap to build from.

Then back to the ‘Ring. Lots (and lots) of restarts, frankly for silly mistakes, but there was time in the lap. Some time later, and managed to pull a whole second out of my previous best. There’s maybe half a second left, but it’s a very slim maybe. Will have a last run here tomorrow morning, but this might be it for me… cheers

For me, the difficult part was maintaining a high level of aggression throughout the lap. On my first few attempts I unconsciously drove more conservatively the further I went into the lap. The sheer length of it means that any drop in intensity level is going to bleed seconds from your time. Once I got comfortable with binning it on or beyond 6:30 or so (which happened alot) I was able to improve my time. Also, see if you're on throttle early enough, because that car wants and needs throttle early. Lastly, may want to check that you're using all the track at various points in the 'Ring - it's easy to miss apexes, just generally lose precision throughout a lap as long as this one. Keep going and you'll get it!!!!

I kept this very much at the forefront of my mind tonight and it allowed me to drop down ~3 seconds to a 9:00.832. It also helped doing the WTC 600 race that's a weekly challenge there (2 laps) this week, right before it. Helped reinforce the track layout, and really allow me to go more aggressively. There is still plenty of time for me to cut out - I did not have an especially good GP section of the track - but that felt tremendously better!
 
This morning I wake up, start the GT7 and boom - a lead man put me into silver, to 3:04%!

Since I'm trying to cut my 9:04.500 from 3rd day of this month without success, I was worried, because he did really alien master time.

But stop talking, I started driving and getting frustrated times just a few thousands behind my best.

Until I turned ghost off and something gave me strength and calmness to complete one lap as I know I can!

Cut even more of a second, direct capture:

Proud on my time, as you can see on car, I made 3300km at Ring in this TT.
