Great job!
Keep at it, I know you can find more time if you made those improvements that quickly. 👍
Good luck.

Well I have raced a little bit since the last time I posted my times...
I'm definitely sure I can get in the high 1'18's on the T3 but linking it all up is so hard for me.
Plus I have a lot of trouble on the two 180's before T3, just see how ODP catches up on me .7 secs or so between the T2 and T3
I'll give everything I have tonight and tomorrow morning because then I'll study for my finals on monday and tuesday, till then.

Another 250km's today, and still having trouble getting T2 consitently under a minute. The lion is high on it's feet right now, 118mm front and back. Damper bound is 9/8 and stabilizer 3/3.
I started out lowering the peugot and stiffening it, but is seems my times go down if I add ride hight and loosen it up in general (lower springrates, lower stabilizers). Downforce maxed out, that helped getting T1 down to 16.2xxx.
Minimalized all LSD activity (5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5 and 5
) Maybe I shouldn't have done that.
Should get a lap or two tommorow, but I think I will not improve my times that much. Too tired and to little time.

Well this would probably be my submitted time, but I think I can improve it tomorrow night...

My best T1 is like 14.886 and my best T3 I have reached is a 1'18.706. I like this lap because I think I finished quite strong, well till tomorrow

Three days away from the PS2, so it took a few laps to get back up to speed. Found a few new lines:
15.9 57.9 1:21.9
15.9 57.9 1:21.9
This was tough. I ran so many laps, that I can't keep my eyes open, and am hitting the guard rails even on the straights. So I stopped.
Time submitted:
T1 - 16.206
T2 - 59.960
T3 - 1'24.566
It is my second best time. On my fastest lap I touched the outer guardrail with the rear of the car in the last corner. Doh!
I didn't even notice it until I did the last inspection before sending in the time. So I went for the next best one.
Ended up with a LOT of camber, 4 and 3, stabilizer 4 and 1, and a little LSD on accelleration and deceleration to be able to brake later. VCD was at "nearly all rear drive" (10% front). Bound and rebound all 8's. Maximum spoiler, gears 1 step closer on the auto-setting (24 or 25 I beleive).
This circuit kind of reminded me of the 787B on Cote d'Azur...

Hi "Rolfje" ... you coming to Venlo first weekend of April? (www.gtvracing.nl)
(www.gtvracing.nl)Wow, that looks tempting. 
I would be glad to be a "field filler" but I have to let this one go. I have a lot of busy weekends comming, sorry. (And some social calls, too 
)
So, I have to decline. Maybe I can sneak into my car and drive to Venlo when nobody's watching...
Anyway, I'm sure it will be lots of fun, sure looks like a cool event! I have bookmarked your page to see the results and fotoshoots of the event after easter.

1'20 at T3, but I doubt I'll have enough time to turn a clean lap for submitting (which is a pity).
I've been too busy with house-buying and building a GTAVC section on my site this week (not necessarily in order of importance).

Decided to have a few laps before deadline came round, took ages to get used to this track 
Submitted my first clean lap which came after 215km of driving and it looks like I'm a mile off the pace as I thought
Sectors :15.975/ 57.867/1.21.550
Anyway, good luck all!
I better get some sleep

.3 imporvement in my time, clean lap. Not quite the time I wanted for my Div 2 debut but I'm satisfied with the time given how busy I have been this past week.
I enjoyed this race very much...I'm looking forward to what GoKents throws at us next.

Tried some different settings, which slowed down the first couple of sectors, gave the same old 1:21.9 at sector 3, but picked up about .5 in the final sector. Tough car/track combo to get a handle on in a short week. Great fun though!
