I just find it way more fun than frustrating. Very enjoyable.

Very good take on this TT, my sentiment exactly. 👍

While my first reactions to the tire squealing nonsense I first found on driving the car were shock and awfulness, I must say that as you figure it out I am coming round to liking this combo.

I tend to do better on short technical stages where I can have a high degree of repetition. Gives me plenty of do-over tries.

I'm in the club after a couple small adjustments to my method. I feel another tenth is needed to remain in the top 100. I'll get it...😁

One of the hardest corners on Eiger Nordwand is the big right hander at the bottom of the track. When I'm going around it, the steep elevation change doesn't seem that obvious but when I look back, it's much more apparent. Not being able to get an accurate understanding of the elevation changes as I'm driving really effects my ability to gain time. Hard to know what works sometimes.

ABS Weak put me back into Top 500. I think any ABS can work for me here.

Went back after a week away from the game and my Suzuka time was just outside gold. I managed to just squeeze back in at +2.98%, but man, it's tough to find any more time. I bet the aliens are going to jump on Wednesday evening and raise the bar just a bit that knocks me out

This is one place where PSVR2 real shines. You can really see the elevation change and see how that corner transitions from downhill to uphill.

So I have done 1.38.3 and it is very safe into Silver and 1.2 sec off GOLD. I was not able to improve. 2 more days left and I realize it will be hard to improve with AT, but I do not have experience to use MT.

I gave it a go today, just to try if I can put a more or less ok lap with MT and I was happy that a lap with many mistakes, a very cautious lap put me in SILVER too.

I think I am officially done with AT and will start learning and improving with MT.

@Lightpilgrim, I know it's been said already and you've addressed it and I respect your reasoning, but not driving in MT is hampering you. Not having control of your gear selection disadvantages you in the corners where it's imperative for you to make use of the transmission.

It doesn't have to be now or with the SF/Suzuka TT, maybe even practice outside of a TT, but you will benefit greatly getting used with MT.👍

Alright found a tenth or so at Suzuki for a 37 flat, hope it holds. Optimum is 36.6 but man I am at 10 tenths.

Definitely be proud of your time 😊Super Formula is probably the toughest place to learn MT… a good way to learn is by re-doing license tests and just driving laps in different cars until the feeling is there. You’ll get it in a few days!!

Slight improvement at the Nordwand last night and I find myself in great company once again @bliprunner @Gomario JSP

I hope this is enough for top 100, cause if it's not I am not sure how much I can still squeeze from it. There was another tenth in the final sector of this lap perhaps, but I'm not gonna lie: this was also far and away my best S3 split yet.
