Grrrrrrrrr. Was on my fastest lap yet, and then right through/after T9, I bounced off the redline because I hit some dirt with one of the drive wheels and it caused me to hit it before I normally would, speed wise. I had to stay in that gear because it dropped 5 mph or so before it started accelerating again, so I braked early for the next turn. I made it through that turn, but then went wide on the sharper left right afterwards, and drove wide with two wheels in the sand, dropping my speed to 45mph...

I think I have a lap that's three seconds faster than my current splits lap, with a 6'48.xxx T9, but my last turn before the straight was CRAP and I gave up at least a second there I think. I've already double checked it, but I want to go through it in photomode before I make up my mind to submit it, considering all the crap that's been going on lately. I still want to beat that time though, and I've FINALLY caught back on in the beginning(edit: nevermind, there's no such thing), after probably 4 hours of play the past couple of days. *sigh* Can't stop now.
Back with splits before bed I hope. Bed should be around now though, so we'll see!
Edit: Finally. Not my fastest stuff, but definitely good enough to submit. And no, I'm not going to go and try to be faster by chasing the AI like I said I might. I'm DONE with this combo. I had some splits that would've been more than a second faster at T9, but I sadly got back on the gas a little early/jerkily while rounding the double right and went wide to the left into the sand leading up the hill that leads down to T9. I was sooooooo pissed.
T3: 2'08.703(seen 2'08.4xx)
T6: 4'32.526(seen 4'31.9xx)
T9: 6'48.145(seen 6'47.8xx, could've had a '46, but nooooooo)
Submitting.
I'm looking forward to posting my first post in the results thread...

I'm not planning on a podium, but it was damn fun, and more. 👍
