one of my least favorite tracks, but r5's does make it a little easier

310 kmh

T1. 0'26.125
T2. 0'49.017
T3. 1'08.184

Well never finished within a second on this course, but I think there's 2s left or so.
 
First attempt at this quite unfamiliar track. :boggled:

T1: 26.744
T2: 49.845
T3: 1'09.240

Update: Leaderboard initiated.

T1. 0'25.864

T3. 1'07.007

Botched the ending for a few tenths at least, but overall got a T3 I'm satisfied with.
 
Was going to post my first craplap splits, but as long as the t3's remain above the 1'10 mark I won't :ouch:
Motegi is a great race track (stage for the GP500 last weekend), and in this car it's all about break points in which I am no good at all :lol:
 
Here's where I can start to improve:

320 gearing

T1 26.020
T2 48.723
T3 1'08.067
 
Small improvement:

T1 26.577
T2 49.613
T3 1'08.968

Board also updated

Please do, you'll be leading D3 and be heading for certain gold. 💡

Okay, you convinced me Marc :)

You'll be doing the updating I guess - good practice tho it looks like you need none :lol:
 
Darn, this is going to be a very close race. :crazy:

Man... this thing's driving me nuts. I have no consistency at all-and I'm convinced I'm running R1's instead of R5's,

26.871
49.769
1:09.293
 
Here are my current splits:

T1 26.015 (seen a 25.832)
T2 48.164
T3 1'07.388


I might be able to break into 1'06's at T3

Well, I've been gone quite some time, first time I've turned on gt of any sort in what seems to be ages :dopey:

I ran about 20 laps last night and got up to speed sort of. I think I could wack a good chunk away pretty quickly but I'm not sure if I'll try or not.

25.848 / 48.362 (seen that from a 26.1x :p) / 107.736

Key to me is linking up a good 's' section after nailing t1.......

:cheers:
 
Ran a lot of laps and I'm starting to get the hang of this

26.472
48.886
1:08.593

blew both turns between T2 and T3 - should have been a high 1:07
 
Finally ran some laps tonite, good combo, Sjaak. 👍
I really like those esses before the start/finish line, when hit correctly the steering feels so light.
With the RSS tires I find it difficult to hit corner entry correctly, but after this session I believe I've found my marks.
Now I have to use them.

First splits

26.884
50.140
1'09.687
 
Wasn't really planning on running this week (no time :S), but seeing that it's a Belgian car, I just had to find 30mins somewhere to give this a go :p So after about a half an hour, I came up with these splits:

T1: 27,043
T2: 49,960
T3: 1:09,406
 
I have improved very little overall, but greatly at T1

T1 25.603 (590)
T2 48.200 (47.737)
T3 1'07.376

After T1 I had some wheelspin at the right turn,
I could have done the S-turn faster too.
I could also do faster the hairpin before T3 .

So if I'll improve on those corners I can most definately get a 1'06.xxx at T3

Alredy seen a T1 26.683 -> T2 47.858 -> 1'07.416

theoretically even 1'05.xxx could be there

Improved overall by nearly a second and a half. :)

It must have been a real slow final sector last session. :yuck:
