Thanks.. I'm terrible here. My gp section is okay and my times up to the roundabout #1.. after that is bad. Watch out for @mistersafeway and the skyline_catt1683. They're sneaky, but you need not worry about anything I'm submitting :D

I wouldn't say I'm sneaky lol but I will say I nailed the last half the lap and prob will submit with current times
 
New ones for me. Having a lot of trouble keeping up with my old ghost, especially in the GP section of the track, before the additional HP and the improved aero balance become a factor. This lap was just 0.150 slower at the line than my last posted splits in the courtesy car. Submitting this for now, will probably have a chance at one more session later today.

This one is actually a vacation day, was planned that way to begin with. Thankfully, the sick part seems to be gone, fingers crossed.
If I planned better, I'd be at my local road course ruining a perfectly good racecar :D.

Just improved by 45thousend and wil submit with these splits

22.717
50.217
1:19.750
1:41.250
2:25.450
2:59.683
3:28.767
4:18.117
4:56.333

Seen faster splits but could not keep it clean.
 
I ran decent times until crashing, and my splits lap is dubious in sector 4 with a terrible run to the line. Not much point submitting that, so unless I run another session I won't be submitting anything. It's a shame, I really do love the Nordschleife, even if the GP section sucks.
 
Looks like I need more effort for a div podium this week...
maybe this will do it :)

22.417

slower first half but spotted my mistakes at s8 and s9..
 
Just for giggles, I have submitted my LB time. Haven't been able to put the time in, still only have 2 clean laps. I know that there is still loads of time out there, and looking forward to seeing the results. Good luck all.
 
No place for improvement right now. It's too nerve wrecking to chase my ghost...
And when i leave my ghost behind, then i miss the fast left hander at Metzgesfeld. Every time :banghead:
Good luck to every one.

@roamer2629: i give up on this one...
 
Had my first run with the current update, got some good sectors but i could have improved those .. Unfortunately my ps3 didn't want me to go faster and heated up after just 40 mins :(
Can't look for the splits atm as the ps won't read any discs now :lol:
 
Ok people, you need to stop this last minute run madness. I'm at work and nervously checking the leaderboard :)

And when i leave my ghost behind, then i miss the fast left hander at Metzgesfeld. Every time :banghead:

I managed to take that one flat out with 200/300 DF but small lift doesn't cost you much time. You just need to take wider entry than the driving line suggest.
Also Kallenhard is much later braking and turn in compared to suggested line.

See you at Spielberg, I'm there already...:D
 
Ok here they are:

22.350
49.067
1'17.883
1'38.200
2'20.500
2'54.383
3'22.217
4'09.700
4'47.133

I'll have to submit with these after only one session including 6 laps... As if my PS3 would forbid me to win any time trial :lol: See ya'll in the results thread!
 
Don't know about Bart, didn't he say his lap was irregular? If he doesn't submit you have good chances to get a podium :)

Yeah, that lap was with the old 1.08 setup on the car and therefore not regulatory. However, I did a new run today. I seemed a bit happier with the handling than directly after the update, when I had the old handling still fresh in the memory. Submitting with these:

22.384
48.950
1'17.634
1'37.600
2'19.800
2'53.767
3'21.484
4'08.500
4'45.650

Still 350/300 aero, BB 5/8.

I think he said he had mid 4'46 with the right settings. Man that would be nice if bunch of D1 drivers didn't submit. I would still have a shot at top 10 :)

Edit: Ugh, ninja post by Bart. Oh well, top 15 then :D

That's some nice splits there mate :D
 
Picked up about 1.0 at the line with these. Had a lap that was about 0.5 better than this at T9, but only marginally improved from the prior at the line. Time hides in large holes out here.

Going to submit this and then go back for a last ditch. I really should take more Mondays off, they suck anyhow.

My internet dont work at my new place, managed to go to a friend's place and use his PC, waiting for confirmation from fetchy, i spent 1/4 of the time i normaly spend, but still worth a chance posting!


Nice splits Bart! @PASM 👍 i had a couple of 4:45s but couldnt get the car to the line, still lot of time to find in later sections... ill be happy if i can get 2nd place.


Goodluck all!

...Time accepted by fetchy :)
