Ever since I started taking time trials "seriously", I always got the feeling that there are just some bad sessions, where you can't do anything right, it just won't turn, you cannot nail the apex, you are missing your braking points, no matter how much mileage you put in it, it's impossible to reach the goal. But also, sometimes I just get in the zone, the car listens to my inputs, I'm guiding it just where I want it. Those are not so common and don't happen so often, but tonight was one of those sessions.
I had already put down a very solid laptime at Road Atlanta with 1:31.934, but I knew there was more time there. So I sat down and started lapping. First good lap - 1:31.911 with a very bad first sector, second good lap - 1:31.866 with a below average second sector (here I wanted to stop and post this just to annoy @Dan_Tes who nailed a .867) but I didn't, took a break and a shower, ate some dinner and came back.
And here I proudly present to you one of the best laps I've ever done on this game, I could say it's THE best, but I'm missing a couple of hundreds to my sector optimals, so I won't say it just yet.

The lap:
I will go again on the last day probably and try to get into the top 10, who knows how the stars will align
Absolutely yeeeting the thing in sector one!

Went back to Daytona with the Ford, with much more consistent braking points, but not much faster lap, not even better than my best so far (which is 9th lap overall).
In fact everything is a bit worse than first stint, which is a bit frustrating : best lap, optimal and medium are inferior.
And I managed to get my best sector on a different sector on each lap.
But medium might be worse because of lap 10 where I lost focus and missed turn 2 and while I was doing laps very close around 1:48.000 (with some lower 1:47s) I did a 1:50 on lap 10. Medium would have probably ended up in the 47s without that bad lap.
While I was at it, I opened my son's account to get him silver on both TTs doing a few laps on each. Some difficulty at RA at first but I ended up doing a better time than on my account, I may revisit it 😅 that's not gold but nearly 0.4s faster than the best lap on my account.
Went to Daytona next and had a hard time to go below 1:49, not sure why, still managed a somewhat comfy silver. It will double his fortune and he'll have a nice surprise when he'll come back on friday.
