Hello there

I found another tenth at the Alpes.

Being within the 2% is good enough for me. 😃

Went back and had to squeeze some much needed time out of the Suzuka course and the Honda SF23 delivered. Behold my new SILVER time!!! Getting better day by day!

This one is really tricky at the sharp end and usually I'm good at finding time on these tires.

Sorry for the video bomb but I recorded some gameplay from my last unfruitful session and had this last sector that I thought was pretty insane. Chasing the #1 ghost. I'm in his trunk for a good bit... At .3 offset

Yeah third sector is very evil on this combo, I'm getting better in the first 2 though but that turn in point on that fast sweeper you show is very difficult to nail and I just can't seem to find the sweetspot 🤣

Funny combo this last one. I fill abs default suits better my braking style here, or maybe it's just placebo.
Im not sure it's enough to be safe, but betting that other half a second of my ideal is not that easy

Very difficult to see anything wrong with your lap. What are your optimals like? is it just a question of stringing the correct set of sectors together? Not sure if it translates to the controller, but I am definitely a little bit quicker with ABS weak.

Managed to break the 1:15 barrier.

Congrats on 1:14 that's fast!

My optimals? Well I have 1-2 tenth more in me. After more studying my lap, I think I am losing most of time on exit of T2 just before end of S1, If I nail that one there is hope for improvement of PB.
Thanks all who checked my lap and gave advices! You guys are real legends!!!

Well that’s awful. I can’t figure out how to get a decent time on this. Well it seems decent but I’m in the mid 3000s so really not.

Edit. Came back to it and got improvement. I feel a top 1000 might be doable.

 

[Carlos Fandango]

Well after saying I wasn’t sure where to find time, here I am, a quarter of a second quicker! ABS weak, but honestly don’t think that’s really helping me that much and I think this is more about getting a little faster through the hairpins. Had a 25 lap run and got down to a 15.240 and was about to call it quits, but optimal said .1 so went back in and found another half tenth. First two sectors are still my weakness, particularly getting out of the second and fourth hairpin. Second half of the lap I’m quite respectable, and to be honest I’m pretty pleased being this close to the top of the leaderboard… or to put it another way, I’m closer to p1 than Lawson was to Verstappen in Melbourne Qualifying 😜

Will have another run in the morning after watching the Grand Prix.

 

[TheNormsk]

More improvement. Got my top 1000.

I found a new ghost to chase that had a line through the esses that was more aligned with my driving. Now, I just had to remember who it was.

 

[bigfluffy888]

The last s-curve is haunting me. I’m improving and will focus on that turn as much as I can over the next few days.

 

[TheNormsk]

That’s me done for the night. Improvement again. I’m beginning to minimize the loss of time coming out of the 2nd and 4th esses.

There’s a 1:15.2 optimal but it seems random of I do well or poorly on the track. Sometimes I swear, one pixel makes all the difference.

Finally, I was pleased to get into the top 10 of my friends board. You all are getting fast!

 

[Metalgear9493]

That's it for me, opening 2 sectors too hard. Was able to pull back 40 thousandths from split 2 to the finish when comparing my lap to AT_1826's (Adam Tapai) lap, so pretty happy with that!

 

[ottis911]

Finally, after a few days of hard work, I made a gold time. My pb slowly went down from 38.3, 37.9, 37.5, 37.2 and to 36.7, really not easy.
And the 3.4k position was also my highest rank.

 

[Gomario JSP]

Morning folks,

Fighting hairpins this morning,
I had a lot of progression on the first two sectors, they are a real tricky to nail all but eventually were rewarding and could rather be consistent in the .4xx splits.
But my real trouble zone is the long righthander and sweeper after that, I binned somany .4 splits there, not even funny anymore 🤣, so I'm kind of the oppositie @Metalgear9493 🤣

But there was a lap it all came together quite nice for me, there should be another tenth in that last part, but not much more for me but quite happy with this lap!

Hope this stays top 100 😁

Pretty OK S2 time on my lap 11

Do you want to know how lap 11 ends?
