Haha good luckI think i've done enough on this weeks comp! Not sure I can really improve, might do a bit of grinding instead, but still I know I am biased but I love this competition!

Try adjusting your brake balance and see if that helps
Hope you manage to beat me, thanks.

Driver: no1pal
Time: 1:26.660
Transmission: Manual
Controller: DFGT
ABS: 1 (5/5)
It´s a small improvement. I might try to adjust break balance later
Nice your getting closer to my time at least!

Went out for another 20 laps this afternoon, much more consistent. I ran a lot of :27s and I didn't break the car. I set my best time on lap 20 with a huge tank-slapper coming off of the next-to-last corner, so I stayed out for 5 more laps.
Despite being ahead a few times I never managed to beat it, and on lap 25 it seemed the car's handling was completely different than the whole rest of the stint and I hit the wall.
Not the biggest knock ever but it left severe damage to left side suspension at both front and rear that put an end to my session.

This is the first TT comp I've done in like 2 years, but I'm reasonably satisfied with my run.
I know that I could find probably 2 seconds on this lap if I spent the time, but I just can't come to grips with the car. I'm really an understeer guy and this S2K is too unpredictable for me. I just can't seem to figure out how much grip it's got and when I think I've got it sorted, it snaps around and eats me alive.
Fun car, but I think I'll save it for drifting and goofing around.

I try and focus as much as i can, proper lines and proper gears through each corner is everything
going in a corner at 3rd when i thought i would just barely make it before in 2nd can mean a big diference 👍
