I watched the replay and can't identify a contact.
Therefore I studied these sparks a lot 😄
If I follow their lines, they even can't be induced at the ground but at a height which is more or less above the car.
There is just one explanation.
It must be a perforated metal wall. Behind the wall is KAZ with a grinder 😆

Congratulations Captain
Thanks fellas! Tune in later to find out whether I managed a world top 100 time for crossing the Atlantic this week 👽 🤣
I had a go in Tokyo again last night, thanks @P-Courty for the gen; what a dumb gearbox 🤣 the car is fun though and after doing quite a few different races in different cars last night I’m calling it… the physics are definitely an improvement! Also @Barareklam the rally physics seem to have greatly improved too, rally TT incoming? 🤔
I get one more shot this afternoon before I leave; not sure it will help as it takes me a long long time to get into a rhythm on this one 🤪

Hi folks. From this friday, I will be on a road trip (vacation) for two weeks. And due to sun and fun commitments
I won’t have any seat time. So I really wanted to finish this Ferrari tt on a high. New physics with this combo is an absolute blast. Most enjoyable one so far for me. Managed to sneak into 2.03.2xx’s..Optimal shows 2.02.9xx but I know it’s just a fantasy
Have fun and happy lapping.

Seems like progression momentum is dead. Now I just repeat the same times again and again (or worse).
I'll have a look at lap guides because I just can't understand how to take T1 (where I lose 0.2 to 0.5 nearly every lap) and the final hairpin, where I lose 0.5 each time but sometimes I gain 0.5 too 🤬doing the same thing (at least trying and not seeing what I do differently from most laps where I lose time there).
21 laps in.

If you know your lap is "not working" you can use the final hairpin for just a bit of extra acceleration instead of focusing on the immediate fast line.
Wont be much as the cars highest acceleration rate is reached shortly after the starting line anyway, but it could have been your initial 0.002 you needed.

While trying some Gr3s with new physics today I recognized (in a response to a post of @Pesselles) that there is a gap between my optimals and my reals at Tokyo, which is not acceptable (thank you Daniel 🤬).
So I had to come back for another try. 🙄
Still some time on the table but now the gap is okay.

I really don't know how you guys consistently post great times. Seems like entirely too much work for the rare event of getting something passable.

Didn't really feel like playing tonight, just put enough distance to get my daily ticket.

I finally was able to get around the left handers (somewhat) in the hairpins at Eiger. My optimals were surprisingly 1:04.1's. I hope this holds for gold, though. I'd rather not come back to it if I don't have to.

Yeah, I had it in reach as well but couldn’t quite make it happen this time. There’s a point where the scale tips too much into pain and frustration instead of pleasure and where one should consider calling it quits. I reached that point and couldn’t be arsed anymore. Didn’t want to return tomorrow. Despite the frustration the walls cause it was a fun combo, I really love the fast flow in the middle, it’s so good. Reminds me of a old and absolute goat race back in GT Sport, altough it was on the other loop (“Inner”, now renamed “Counterclockwise”).

Third and likely final session in the Ferrari this evening and found about 5 tenths to duck under 2:05. Calling this somewhat respectable and a decent performance all things considered

I had silver before yesterday on the Tokyo TT with 2.06.7xx, but I knew I could get inside Gold (2.05.8xx at that time).
So I did a session last night. I have a love/hate relationship with this TT; I love both the track and the car (not visually though) but I can only manage one clean lap every 6 laps (avg)! I managed to gold it fairly early and easy but it got so addictive that I could not stop. After 2 hours and 300km on the rent Ferrari, I managed to lower it to 2.05.4xx but I knew I had more, the optimal was 2.05.0xx!
Today, I woke up early and only thing in my mind was to start the PS and do some more laps! After another 200km, I managed to lower it to 2.05.3xx with the optimal now on 2.04.8xx! Unfortunately, this is where it ends for me. My eyes are burning from only 4 hours sleep, I cannot repeat that.

Great going Mate. A lot depends on one's mental state. If I'm tired or upset, no matter what I won't be able to even get a clean lap onboard. But if I'm fresh or happy in general, I wouldn't mind lapping 50 times in order to improve. Self belief or confidence also matters when we're mentally ready to take on the challenge.
I improved enough yesterday to get Gold for now. It all depends if the top leaders don't lower the bar much further. But this TT is fun & driving around Tokyo despite closed wall barriers is intoxicating somewhat.
