Well I just got out of school a hour ago, and have a few homework to do. I MIGHT run this week, but it really depends.
Im not a person who likes to take other people's idea when it comes to races like this,so I have to constantly look for a car better the MRS! Is it possible?

I save my replay but never my game, so that the car stays brand new. Of course, doing this, I miss the whole 'breaking in' process, but I also miss the ageing process that follows it.
BTW, I found why I had crap T times. I completely skipped the "II" in "Special Stage Route 5 II Wet" and I was practising on the wrong way. Dumb frenchman.
, I'll try and make acceptable times during the week-end.Edit :
Got a first session with a clean 26.4 / 49.7 and an easy 0.4 to get on the first sector (with the MR, I'll have some runs in the Clio later in the week-end).

I had three cars shortlisted at the start - the Celica Rally Car, the Clio V6 Race Car and the MR-S... Then, after using the MR-S and going an awful lot quicker than the Celica, Link blabbed that he was using the MR-S, suddenly everyone jumped on board... 
So, while it looks like I'm stealing the idea, I'm really not

I took a quick look at the Clio, before I remembered that it's a little tail-happy.
On this track, you don't want to be sliding.

Do any of the top drivers have any tips on where to gain some time? I cant seem to break the 48 second barrier. I feel I am taking the wrong line somewhere. I think it may be a problem with my T1 where I'm only getting round 26 there. I think maybe 25.6 is possible. Thanks for the help.

That t1 should definately go down. I got a lot of 25.6s all the way down to 25.2
Maybe you're missing some speed? I brake when I reach 163mph down the straight.

I brake at 163mph going from the right to the left. Stay at about 70mph on the left and then adjust acceleration going to the right. So it's basically the out-in-out strategy. Try not to slide(usually happens with late braking). Oh yeah, sometime when I'm going right I switch to 4th gear. Then I downshift to 2nd for the left.
And I believe the curbs are OK

The curbs were ruled OK to run on in BcV3 so I would think its ok for this race. Why make it harder than that.tuff240I need a rule clarification please.
Are the square curbs okay to touch or run over as long as we don't touch the wall right next to them?
T2 leaderboard is updated.

GT3mich, Thanks, I'll keep the lap with a curb ride then.
Icemanshooter23, I'd love to help, but it seems as though your T2 is already faster than mine so my advice wouldn't do you much if any good.
BB96, make sure you are running SSR5 II (reverse direction).
Flat-out and I both started on the forward version.
In general:
I'll update the T2 Leaderboard in the morning when I get to work and my regular PC. This old laptop doesn't have the programs I need to update it.
Time to warm up the Autobacs and see if I can regain the D2 T2 leaderboard top spot. I may have to switch to manual trans to get it back in front of iceman.

In the BC3, Rudi Raser was given a penalty for hitting the kerb that's directly at T2. That kerb acts as a wall and you get a massive advantage from hitting it. It should not be allowed to be hit.GT3mich
The way I see it is this, if the wheel rides up onto the kerb, then it's fine. If the wheel bounces off the kerb, then that's not fine.

yes no need to dive into assinine hyper competition rules that surgically remove the fun from the game. the rule has always been anything you can drive over that's made of anything other than grass is legal. anything your wheel bounces off of regardless of what it is made of is illegal.
and your welcome icemanshooter. glad i could be of assistance 👍

This is pretty much what I would say.
Only 1 thing I want to add to it...
If you hit run up onto a curb, or if you even touch one, post up the situation for all of us to evaluate.
Each curb touch can be different.
With that in mind, I don't want to rule out curbs, but I don't want allow wall contact either.
So like I said, if you go up onto a curb and you are wondering if it is an all right lap, just explain it in here.
Also, remember that analyzer data can help a ton in that situation... Using the graph instead of the replay will let you see exactly how much your car's speed changed at the curb.
If you hit the curb hard and your speed drops more an just a tiny bit, it is very possible that you hit the wall.
So let us all know where you hit a curb if you hit one, and then take a good long look at your data.
Good luck and don't give up yet!
btw, Max also explained the situation very well. Take a look at his post directly above mine for more info on what is ok and what is not.
Well said max, 👍

Aint I lucky that my best lap so far is legal. 
I've had a few real good ones that had a slight wall touch. My best lap is also with a t2 that wasn't my best t2. If that makes sense. I know theres much more time out there.
