There are some very great lap times posted in the last 24 hours.
Misunderstood and adeadsnipermatt are in their own league. But from 3rd to 12th it´s within the second. It´s very close and exciting 👍
 
I´have improved a little today:

Driver: no1pal
Time: 1:45.081
Transmission: MT
Controller: DFGT
ABS: 1

Hope I can make 1:44 later

Great improvement! I have a lot of catching up to do! Finally I have some free time to do some laps, but still am very busy!

Thanks, had about an hour on it got down about a second to:

LMP787B/Ld_headshot
1:45.237
Manual
Dfgt
Abs 1

It is so frustrating, I cross the line and my game freezes for a second then by the time It unfreezes ive missed my braking point. Arrghh so frustrating.

That´s a great time 👍
It happens sometime, it´s very frustrating.

It's okay :/ it was happening to me every lap! My best first sector was 28.5, might have another go this week, got to try and find another second. Theres another 2 tenths in the first sector, 2 more in the second if I can get the hairpins right, another 2/3 tenths in the third sector if I can take the chicane well and the following corners. And maybe another 3/4 in the last. That would be a flawless lap though which isn't ever gonna happen :lol: hopefully I can break 1:45 👍
 
@LMP & no1pal:
If I can break 1:45 then you two can. I'm home again today but I had to call in sick. I think I have an infected tooth. Don't expect any improvements, I'm not even sure I can drive.
 
Hi all, fast times Being set here :-0, here's my effort for now

Driver: rapid46/rapid46
Time: 1:44.764
Transmission: MT (th8rs) no clutch
Controller: t500rs
ABS: 1

Think I can improve a bit, no chance of a 1:41 though.

Oops, that must be very frustrating
I have ok T1, but I loose on the others. Exept from the last 180 by the pits. That one I feel I take quite good.
I went for a few laps just now, and my gost was corrupted :grumpy:
Had to make a new one, at 1:45.1xx

Sad to hear Ronald6, hope you get better soon :)
I know I can break 1:45. Just need some more laps to do it. Maybe tomorrow

Haha I always forget to save my ghost! Will try again tomorow.

Also hope you are okay ronald6 👍
 
Not fed up with the track, just a bit with the car. I'm pretty sure the Yellow Bird is more predictable than this thing. But I suppose the Yellow Bird is a lot newer, too.

I should have an improvement by the end of the week, but today I just have an urge to throw things. It's a really fun car to drive if you're not pushing for every tenth, but near the limit I have no idea how it will respond to any input.

I've been up by nearly a second, so I'm sure I'll get it together at some point.
 
Oh sweet jesus, I just scared myself with how blazingly fast I just drove the beasty!

Driver: NJ72 / doc-shipman
Time: 1:44.623
Transmission: MT
Controller: DS3
ABS: 1

Think I need to go even quicker... JUST inside the top 10... I have yet to place outside top 10 and this week isn't gonna break that run! ARGH! lol

Wow great time, I seem to be really struggling with this combo compared to previous weeks, oh well hopefully something will click in the next few days!
 
Played another session tonight. I can see where I have room for improvement, and can occasionally make those improvements, but I just can't seem to put them together into a single good lap. I couldn't even beat my time from yesterday.

Try again tomorrow, hopefully.
 
Yahoo. I got a window of opportunity here boys, in between throwing up because of the pain from my tooth and throwing up because of the vicodin. I doubt I will improve my time but it should be fun.

Ooohhh. Look at the pretty colors.
 
You should submit a time in the WRS to see where you rank!

Why would you use SFR and TC normally if your as good as you are?

I have a great idea!
Try the week 2 challenge - JAG XKR on Trial Mountain and see where you would have come because the fast guys have done that including Timpaq the fastest guy on GTplanet (Fastest time in the WRS Qualifier) Division 1 GOLD!

OK, to make you guys feel better about yourselves:lol:

woodksi_427/woodski_427
1:49.109
MT
Wheel (DFP - no clutch)
ABS=1

Got a surprise 45 mins last night, as the wife watched The Apprentice:). Found the learning curve with the wheel and this combo was quite steep - took me 5 or 6 laps to get close to my 3 lap DS3 time. Big consistency problems - as others have said the Snake doesn't always seem predictable.

I did a sub 1:49 lap after but I had clipped the wall just before the swimming pool. I can obviously make big improvements, but doubt if I'll make 3 seconds to catch up with the rest of you:dunce:
