Other people will not make you faster. Their advice will. Everything you need has been covered ad nauseum in this thread for literal years. The next step is yours. If you want it, get it. The frustration you feel is mostly because you are used to doing it the way you do it and you are unwilling to change. We cannot and unfortunately I personally will not continue to give advice that you don't listen to.
The triggers are sensitive, but that's a good thing. Once you get used to them you can really nicely modulate the inputs.
I find if I just move the stick left and right I end up steering in a very "digital" way even though it's analog. I tend to bump the stick left and right rather than holding it in a given position and smoothly cornering. Using that upper edge as a guide seems to make it a lot easier for me to be much more smooth and consistent with the steering.
I did like it, just got gold today i'm at around 2.4%, nothing to call home about but good enough. Probably you already know everything that I can tell you, faster drivers here can give you a better advice.
Yeah ! And I am by no means a good driver, especially with old "road" cars. I am much more at ease with Gr.3 like at Daytona. And I tend to use the easy Gr.3s. But I enjoy the combo BH+Testarossa (and BH is far from being a track I am at ease with).
Guys,
it is done!

It took a three hour session - something I never do because it‘s usually fruitless - but I knew I had the sector times to secure a top 100, it was just a stochastical problem to put them all together.
How it finally happened was still surprising. S1 split was a 28.644, more than two tenths slower than my best ones. Mentally I had already written off the lap, but then I picked up some time in S2 and S3 and finished it off with probably the best bus stop sequence of all my attempts.
Now my hands are cramping and I am totally exhausted, but the good kind. 🤣 Leaving for a business trip tomorrow and won‘t return before the TT is over, so if I do get shoved out of top 100 again, then there‘s nothing I can do about it. But I am at peace with that, I gave everything I have.
Have a great week folks, and happy lapping!
Have neither of those*, but I could not do a 4 hours session, and on TTs 20 laps is my max and it can be much lower depending on the combo.
Three 😉 And the family tend to be less needy after 10 pm 😉 … but yeah, as I said generally I don‘t do that and wouldn‘t recommend it either, it‘s tough to maintain focus. I also had a few breaks in-between to reset, so net playtime was maybe closer to two hours. Still having sore muscles the next morning 😄
My family is mostly independent and my wife goes to bed at 9 but I’m a night owl. 9pm to 1am is common.
Jup, quite balanced and predictable if you ask me, but it needs a certain way of driving and realy needs to have that throttle to get some weight on the rear wheels
