Hi guys, i'm back! 🥳

At first, congratulations to @rheinaoi for blitzing everything (again :rolleyes:)! :bowdown:

I've done some first tests in Autopolis. Was it realy me who suggest this track? :sly:
I know i have no idea how to get fast thru turn 1. Why on earth did i made this suggestion?!?!? 😭

I followed rheinaois idea of putting the 911 turbo engine into the GT3 RS. With this monster i'm sitting at 1:09,3.
Very, very maybe i could do a 1:08. But i can't see me doing a 1:07 or better as rheinaoi predicted.
Welcome back!

If you sit at low 09 and have trouble with the first corner you must do something right at the rest of that lap. 💪

🥳 Here comes a line of excitement:
I managed to get into 09, too!!! If Porsche, then Cayman for me and so I tried and will try again... 😙

Surprisingly, my life over the last several days has managed levels of Super Suckiness even greater than my entry (and middle corner and exit...) for Turn 1.

I brought out the first half of Audi Sisters V10 Dance Team - The Gallardo - 1:08.888. The replay is up with the usual tags #ataq, #ataq4wd, #rheinaoi

I did not get my optimal of 1:08.5 because 8.888 looks more interesting. I tell that to myself to preserve my ego.

Maaaaaaaaaybe I can do a 1:08.3. And maybe the R8 can manage 1-2 tenths better than that. Though, that will require an order of magnitude less Super Sucking at Turn 1.

I want to get the Civic FL5 into the 1:10s. The Elantra is great, but 1 second slower in my hands. I think my tuning and driving are holding it back. I need to reflect and redo my FWD tunes. Because of some... struggles... in a recent online race, I'm not thinking about RWD and will be ignoring its existence for the rest of the week :lol:

Welcome back @911RSR !
Getting turn 1 right will be 2-3 tenths already. I think your precision / smoothness will help you find a bunch more time through the rest of the flowing corners (lots of coasting). Then once you see the exit of the final corner, the 992's grip + Nuclear Turbo Torque + DRS will give you an exit launch and run down the main straight that would make the Audi Sisters blush. Easier said than done, but definitely doable with your driving.
