Improve my time at 0'47'156

Hi,
Around 40 years ago, a friend of mine had the utterly insane idea of becoming a rally driver. He, somehow, managed to talk me into being the mechanic and navigator. With absolutely NO idea what we were doing. We decided to practice on a public road between two villages where we still live. In a mildly "tweaked" MK1 Escort, we paced out the road and then tried to rally it. At around the 30 second mark he lost control. All I can remember is seeing sky - tarmac - sky - tarmac - sky - tarmac - hospital! My rally days ended right there!!!
Catalunya today - 30 laps. 30 red laps. Best time 1:48:999. I will not be returning to rallying. Good luck everybody!
Best regards to all here.

Well.... haha ...I can't imagine a .744 dropping into silver, but you never know these days
So I retourned to it. Made a few improvements, but my best one is with an very UGLY 13.1 in the first sector (I'm usually in 12.75-12.85...). Oh well, just hope it will do.

How in the h*ll did he managed that, he made a lot of people mad 🤣🤣🤣
And we still have a lot of days to go 🤣
Now I'm seriously wondering what the gold cutoff wil be 🫣🫣, good job on the progression!
The bear should go into hibernation and let Chals have it, otherwise we all go silver 🤣🤣

While everyone is rallying, I'm quite happy to wrestle this laggy pig around LeMans, and I'm actually enjoying it 
Goal to get into the 25s is easily achieved, but I'm even more annoyed now then I was before this session, because on this very lap I totally ruined everything in the last sector, losing a staggering 7 tenths (30.8, my best before that was 30.1), that's where I'm very inconsistent, the entrance to the Porsche curve is literally a hit or miss, usually miss, that dictates the rest of the sector, either I nail it and have a 30.1-30.2 or completely overcook it or go in too slow and narrow and lose all momentum and rhytm, which happened on this lap.
I don't know if I will try again, maybe, on a perfect lap I believe very high 24s are achievable, and if I manage to complete a good lap without any major mistakes, very low 25 is on the horizon, but we'll see

So I decided to grind this one and I manage to get a sub 46 time which wasn't originally my goal but I'm more than happy that I did it. I actually ended up enjoying this one because it's something new and a track I had no knowledge about prior so this was quite good. I might continue to grind this one as I feel I could get a low .9 or a very high .8 but we'll see. Overall I'm very satisfied that I managed to pull off a sub 46 with a controller.
