Im gonna have to disagree with you on that one emp. 
This is very much a no brainer.
Do we ever get a turn out like this in "brainer" weeks?
No.
I would say the largest turn outs always come in weeks where the car & track combo is easy enough and difficult enough that only 2 seconds will seperate div 1 and div 3.
Like the supra at midfield.
That race was hard for anyone to win, the top people were all really close.
But, that race was also really easy for keeping up with the pack.
Do you see what I mean?
Easy to not lose, hard to win.
If it's too hard to win, there is a "no show" from half the people here this week.
(don't take that the wrong way fellas)
Then, if the race is too easy, most of the fast guys lose interest and move onto something funner.
It's like competition drives some of us, and for the rest of the racers, competition drives them away.
Don't know what to say besides enjoy the week everyone!
I like the way this race looks in terms of participation, but in terms of racing interest... I'm lacking for this race.
Maybe when we get back to some maxed out tuners.
:yeahright:
Anyway, have fun ya'll.

so much to digest there GoKents
being new to the WRS, i see each race as a challenge. whether or not the race is fun (to me), is another issue altogether. as a newbie, there's much more to prove. it's not an egotistical thing, but i think most ppl want to know where they stand in terms of their skill. but i'm new.
all those old pros out there with their plentiful wins, already know where they stand in their divisions. so i guess their participation might be determined by their like/dislike of each track/car in the weekly.
but like with so many things, competition only makes things better. so hopefully the addition of good, new racers who start stealing all the podium finishes from the pros, will spark up some new found interest in the weekly's (if any interest is lacking).
that's just my take on it.
how did i start talking about all this??

I guess I can't really complain about never getting this for myself since all of my "dirty headed" nights are self-induced, but man oh man, I love it lotus...
Clean headed laps.
I might get one of those in tomorrow, but for now I need to just work on clean headed mornings.
Later,

15.611
44.266
1'04.784
Now I cannot find anymore time between 2 and 3... however I did leave some time between 0-1 and 3-4

Thanks man, it felt like a good lap... even though there is still that 0.150 in T1 and about 0.200 in the final sector. And if I could find that 0.200 that MiH has on us, then I would really be cooking (And showing that Arcade MRS Autobacs who's boss!)

Ok, after my first 15 laps, managed to get T3 1´06.5. I also saw a couple of 1´06.2 and such but they were dirty. I need to catch you 1´05 guys up
I like this weeks combo. Thanks kent! The Silvia feels so balanced and good flying around the mountain. I like the course also. No 90 degree turns or such.
I´ll be back with faster times. Till then, laters..

No matter what i try i simply can't get a T1 quicker that 0'17.xxx
any tips on taking that right hander after the chicane?
do you always take the chicane at close to full throttle?
(yes its TM II with arcade C-West)

edited.. umm nothing.. I was talking about a wrong turn.
u shouldn't let the throttle go on that turn ........... u go at full throttle, on the turn right before the T1, brake early and accelerate right when u hit the apron, that should help u gain sometime, at least i do it that way, and it alywas helps me , my best time so far has been 15.943 T1

I use fourth for the turn before T1. speed never drops below 75 (usually) so no need to go down to third for a measley 4 or 5 mph. Especially when like we discussed for the sweeper onto the back straight, 4th just has lots of low end torque.

After another 20 minutes:
15.607 / 44.296 / 1.04.694
I think i can win another 0.2 or 0.3 between t2 and t3.
Got the Apex though
