That was a pretty nice and easy one, though I absolutely sent it into the outer barrier at the end of the long straight more than I care to admit.

Well, that DeLorean TT must be on e of the easiest ever. 10 laps and, as the gold time doesn't drop by more then a second, save gold.
It's a different story at the Gr. 4 TT. Only did 6 laps (in the Cayman) and hit exit as soon as the laptime was golden. I just can't stand that track!
Every day I anxiously check to see if there is a new record, i just hope it will last.

Managed a high 49 in the Delorean, it's an OK experience but dislike the track. Got my piece of cheese and I am out I think. Surprised how much pace you guys seem to have, I don't have much more unless I invest a lot of time.

Hello there (Now I feel like watching a certain movie...)
I didn't know that the Delorean could be such a fun ride.

Alright folks, winter holidays are over, time to hit the road again. 😉
Tried the DeLorean yesterday for a 30 minute session and while I liked it quite a bit I sort of hit a ceiling around 1:48.5. Tonight the car started to reveal itself to me though and lap times came down slowly but surely. In the end it was a two hour session because I really wanted to break into the 1:47 (in fact I had two invalidated 1:47.9 - track limits in the first tunnel of S2 are weird) and an optimum of 1:47.842. But it just would not happen yet. I‘ll be back for more …
At Willow Springs I had fun as well with the 4C, and I am not too far off a top 100 time, but fighting for the final hundreths was beginning to feel like a chore … maybe I‘ll revisit if and when missiom 1:47 at Deep Forest is accomplished 😉
Happy lapping, as ever!

I also had a session at Willow Springs. Something clicked on the left hander at the bottom of the hill and I finally seem to be taking that better and shaved 2/10ths of my previous time.
Disappointedly I was on for a 1:17.6x on the next lap until the last corner when I wiped out 🤦

Ok, I managed to knock off .350s instead.
Don't have much more in me.
Got a bronze time in the Delorean. Not going to try anymore with that one.

Decent start in the DeLorean. It’s an interesting car for sure, but quite enjoyable around this track. It’s early days, but this feels a decent start. Lap shared. Will take another run at Willow Springs tomorrow in the morning before heading off to the Air|Water event here in SoCal.

Morning folks,
Another Delorean session this morning and i am beginning to understand how to drive the thing but still room for improvement.
My fastest S1 was a .342 this morning but invalidated on the last corner, that's an absolute prick of a turn btw.. 🤣
But jot to Shaabbbyy at all flying into the 47's with a 47.920
Lots of laps in the 48.0 and a few 47's .
Looks promising 😁
I think if all goes wel a mid 8 is possible, we will see!
Goal 1 achievement...47's....check
Now focus on keeping that top 100 which I guess needs mid .8 or something maby??

So..
I wanted to break the 1:18 barrier at Willow Springs, the 458 Italia was my weapon of choice. I was at a 1:18.288 at the time.
Initially The plan was to do a quick 20 or so minutes session, just to try.
Quickly improved to a 1:18.141 👍, so I kept going..1:18.048, almost there 👀..
Game then proceeds to troll me with a nice 1:18.000. 👆 It's when I lost it and became obsessed.
Drove 735.1 damn kilometers and got nothing to show for it except sore fingers 🤬
Ok, maybe I'll try another car this morning, this 4C everyone uses for exemple. 30 minutes later :
And the lap was quite messy.So yeah,this car is just plain quicker around willow(it being 300 kg lighter than the 458 might be a factor
).
It'll teach me to try to be original

Morning all,
The standard before making sunday morning breakfast run 😁
Delorean it is, no drive to go back to the GR4 this morning, and still within the top 100.
I started shortshifting a bit more, that means 110 km/h to 3th and around 158-160 to 4th.
That gave me multiple .2xx splits on S1 IF you glide not to much on entry before the hairpin, but ofcourse in a new PB lap it was a .3 split 🤣🤣
But I gained quite a big on the consistentcy and was comfortabel lapping the majority in the 47.9's
So into the 47.8's 😁🥳
I mist the apex on the left hander comming out of the last small tunnel what cost me some time but luckly did have enough speed.
A .7 is definitely possible but requires some alligned stars 🤣
Happy to have stolen back some places 😁

Good day all!
A few family illnesses and challenges have hindered my lapping for the past 2 weeks. In the end, I just left the snow challenge as it was frustrating the hell out of me. Moved on to Willow (not a favourite) but the cars are a good choice. I went for the Megane with a fresh new livery I put together and soon made it into Gold- Im not sure how much more there is for me and patience on this track (those damn kerbs!!) I've had a quick blast in the DeLorean and that seems a fun combo which I'll go back to.

Watch your back, you're not out of the woods yet (pardon the Deep Forest pun)
That part is really impressive though! So far I've only had a single (valid) .9, most laps are in the mid 48.1 to 48.3 for me. But who knows, maybe lightning strikes again ...
