Time Trial Discussion

Had another go at Goodwood last night and am very pleased to have made it below 1:25 🤩

I already lost a few positions since then already (partly because of another one of @Gomario JSP's infamous early morning runs) ... but yeah, even being within striking distance to you is a big win for me. Also, @330_D: your move! 😉

What's encouraging is that I've gotten pretty consistent in the first two sectors, so the chicane has lost a bit of its terror as the great lap destroyer 🤣

Spoiler: The lap (ABS weak, TCS 0, CSA strong)

Nice lap buddy!, it's getting kind of normal these days to boot up in the morning seeing you above me on the board, same this morning, so.... credits to you, you became mega fast past year, and realy uppend the competition for me and a lot of others, so cool to see a lot of you guys have been evolving like crazy.
I only have leaderboards of terror these days 🤣🤣, so well done!

Our split times after S2 were almost the same .847 for you and .826 for me so your drift on the next righthander did cost you some time cause looks like you chicane was very descent

Nice job mate! 🙏👽

...I hated it at first, but love everything about it right now......except.... yes @Barareklam 🤣🤣 it kills you, my fastest split was a 1:02.753 this morning but never even made it to the second apex of the chicane 🤣🤣
...

1:02.8** after S2 but chicane just kills it haha. Anyhow 1:24...I think I will not chase it anymore, it's just like 1 out of 100 attempts that I can pass chicane really fast without lap being invalideted this or that way...
Best of luck who is still chasing millisecond with Megane!

Btw, anyone who is monitoring tire temperature, is there any advantage of going few laps and get tires warm on Megane, is it better grip in the chicane then?
I am pressing retry since chicane kills the lap, and then I need to drive another one in order to start on valid lap...

I set up my ps5, so I'm joining back in on the TT action.

Now it's gonna take a while to get used to the new controller, but everything is working fine. Now off to Goodwood!

Thanks a lot mate, that means so much. I'm doing what I can to keep the terror up 🤣

Yes, spot on analysis, the chicane was really good this time around, but the right-hander before that wasn't, even though that was often my strongest part of the lap, to the point where it feels like I'm even gaining a bit on @Metalgear9493 's ghost ... so that gives me hope 😜

You know that it's upside-down, right?

Yeah, but he'll be faster at Bathurst.
