Not sure what you mean by this. Do you find your own markers for a circuit?
First thing I noticed when I watched your lap was some corners it looked like you'd steer twice into them.

I mean that if I know a marker and know what to do, I use it, but in the areas where I struggle it is not obvious

I find markers for braking, turning, and exit throttle for every corner in a circuit. I adjust them if needed as I go along.
I like your throttle and brake use; little to no time between being on one if not the other for the most part. I know you're happy with your approach in Sector 1, but you get on the throttle after apexing Turn 4 and Turn 5, when you can actually steer into both apexes while on the gas. You're accelerating past through the apex of Turn 3, which affects your approach to Turn 4 and thus Turn 5. You can gain a quarter up to half a second in that sector by adjusting your Turn 3 approach.

Thank you very much. Just to be clear, we refer to the same corners, correct?
Do you see an example somewhere so that I could visualize what you have in mind and try to repeat?

That looks like the one I saw in Wikipedia, yeah. 😄
I can show mine, but you'll probably see the same thing watching the WR replay.

After a month abroad got home to last night of BMW Sardegna TT.
One session. Happy with it. Wonder what tomorrow brings?

Bit disappointed with this. Took 40km to get to a 38.4XX, and then another 60km to get to the 38.315. Felt like I left a lot of time on the table here. Just wasn't able to get into a good rhythm with this combo, partly because it was 1am while I was attempting to set the time, and partly because this track has a few awkward corners, particularly in S3.
The Z4 felt quite boring to drive, the way the game portrays the motor is nothing special and the gear ratios feel quite long once you get into 3rd and 4th.
Hoping the new combo tonight is something more exciting. Don't really have time at the moment to learn how to drive the SF around Suzuka, might just attempt to get a safe gold and leave it at that.

Well the aliens were threatening to push me back above the 4% line at Suzuka and I was really hoping to do a little better than that so I went back in for another try and managed to take nearly 3 tenths off again...and I don't know if there's going to be anything beyond that for me so aliens, ummmm, couldja?? lol

You missed the apex at turn 2. You also missed the apex at turn 6 which then compromised your run through Dunlop. You need to hug the inside of turn 6 for longer before switching to the left. Degner 1 can also be taken a little quicker and you need to use more road on the exit of Spoon. You're too tight to the inside.

It was tricky to try and do a screencapture from your lap to do a comparison with a screencapture from mine, but:
Our T5s. If my conversion is correct the speed delta is over 6mph/15kph, but more importantly you're still off the throttle while I had already started accelerating.
This all begins in T3, but just a little adjustment from there should net you a good amount of time all the way through T5. 🙂

What! The Sardegna TT has been one of my favorite TTs of recent time. The Z4 is an amazing car. No doubt the CS tyres don't make the deal sweet but the grip is much better than I had anticipated at the start. No doubt sector 3 is very crucial to nail but it takes time to either master it or just try following @Tidgney ghost. His lap guide for this TT is so damn helpful especially with braking markers.

I guess the Z4 just didn't really capture my attention
I didn't mind the chassis and grip level, mainly the engine that I found to be a bit lacking.I was using @Metalgear9493's ghost to help me, wasn't a matter of getting braking points right here, but rather hooking up a whole lap without any mistakes, whilst falling asleep. Perhaps I would've gone a bit faster if I had done my laps earlier in the day 🤔

I've noticed this that especially when attempting a TT, it's important to have a fresh mind as opposed to a tired one. TT often requires good attention which can only be attained through good sleep or nothing else on the mind when playing. A happy mood also helps.I guess the Z4 just didn't really capture my attention

@linksracer Glad my ghost helped you out🤝.
Looks like L Shooter isn't performing his final hour shenanigans so I think I've just conquered a Lap time challenge event for the first time!
Special thanks to Thrustmaster TGT for allowing 720 degree mode🤣.

Can't wait to see what's the new TT.
Please God give a car with Racing tyres & a track which would a sweet surprise.
(Secret desire - Yesterday played a St. Croix race with Sauber Mercedes C9 on RH tyres. Oh man what a perfect car + grip. Wish something like this would come as a TT).

On this specific lap my S1 was really bad, like you say - at least 0.2-0.5 off. I am able to do S1 better. Many times I did 0.4-0.5 faster than this lap.
