I'll see your ASM and raise you one CSA Strong. (I suppose that'd sound better if I had a faster time...) For good measure I tried to add AT in there, but then I could only get 1:25.823.

Gosh dang you guys are fast out there at Maggiore. There are TWO cows faster than me!

I had a good time with the Huracan here. It took me a while to grasp trail braking this thing as it's super prone to oversteer on the binders, but eventually I softened up and the brakes become a great tool for getting the car to turn in. After a while the Huracan just did what I wanted it to do.

I couldn't drive it well enough to get my goal of a 2:04, but I'm happy with where I landed considering the competition here was bonkers!

Great job everyone! Excited to see the final leaderboard.

Did a last stint this morning at Lago Maggiore, with the Genesis, to see how it would end up with the car I used in the start but with better knowladge of the track.

I'd say it wants to widen the turns more than the Huracan and at first it seemed that I won't be able to improve, but my lap times were not bad and not far from the Huracan.

And then, the miracle lap happened, 3 good sectors, only sector 1 was not good, and I ended up improving, and entering top 10k 😁

After those 5 laps and this improvement secured, I went back until the time was finished but no improvement after that.

In the end it is 144 laps, and maybe I should have stuck with the Genesis, I caved in to the mad cow illness but that may not have been the best course of action for me.

Anyway in the end I am very happy with the result, gettting in the 2:06 and inside top 10k is a very satisfying result 😊

Just when you think the TT combos are starting to make sense again…

I got a few last laps in at Lago, still love that combo! One of my favourites in recent times and just a shame I only managed two short sessions to try it, life is wild right now and no let up till January so that might just be it for me this year 🥺

I’d like to try Goodwood in the Megane before it finishes but my gut feeling is that I just won’t have any time in the next week to do so :indiff:

This will be really fun!

Don't get scared by "Red Bull X2014" if you haven't driven this, the Junior is a really fun car to throw around and goes totally reasonable speeds.
Oh, I'm never afraid of the Junior. I've been familiar with it starting from the GT Sport era. I think this will be a lot of fun for some people, even younger drivers. You're right about the speeds though. Plus the braking is pretty decent too.

Well, I am proud of myself, I took the initiative last night to gun it and run 10 more laps and on Laps 9 and 10, I improved both times, 2'09.447 and 2'09.331. I'm glad I was able to make it into the silver club. You know what, if I had spent more time on it I may have gotten a time in the 2'07.000's and possibly would have earned a gold, but it's no big deal. However I'm enjoying my ps5. Had to flip it over on it's correct side.

@Dan_Tes What model ps5 do you have, the original or the Pro? The Pro was about $700 and didn't fit in our budget. The best time to get a Playstation unit is during Christmas and the holidays. I hope I don't have to start using my smartphone to record my laps, it's gonna be a hassle, but...
