Excuse me for being off topic for a sec!
Didn't expect to see a fellow Hong Konger here
Yep! Born ‘n’ raised in this tiny city, and still living here!
I thought you’re an American when I lurked around this thread in the past though 😅 Good to see another compatriot here!
After over 2 days of trying, I’m happy to report that I have finally managed to improve my time in the MiatZuka from 1:02.078 to a final time of 1:01.918! Granted, there’s still time for me to practise (which I used but yielded no further improvement) when I ended the session, and my lap was kinda rough with some abrupt steering and some unexploited track space, but after over 1,000 kms of trying and countless retries from trying to nail the 1st right-hander complex (and the final corner too)
, I’m more than happy to call it quits. And the matter is, I did it with zero aids (except a weak ABS), manual transmission, in cockpit cam, with eye dryness*, and most pleasing of all, without taking any advice or recommendations (not even other players’ ghosts), so I am well and truly proud of my ranking of ~8500th.
That is, until I see folks like MidnightRun85 and Famine (seriously, with a D-pad?) taking only around a dozen laps to beat my record…
I’ll go back to my DR D dungeon.
(Those 1131 kilometres are all done in this time trial!!)
*this just means a lot of blinking, but this TT is actually the kindest of them all on this problem, with a long straight for me to restore the wetness and a super-short lap so things won’t turn too bad before lap ends
