I'm kind of stunned right now. My best qualifying time for this week's Daily Race B was set on Thursday at 1:37.271. Couldn't seem to budge it, although yesterday I got to 37.200. I was pretty sure I'd maxed out my best time, no matter what car I tried. Especially since this is Sunday, so I've had the entire week to get as good as I'm going to get.
At least, that's what I thought.
Then out of the blue comes a 1:36.158. That's more than a second faster! I was so stunned I just sat there and stared. Remember, this is Sunday - gaining a second like this is kind of unthinkable, especially since I didn't try any new tactics or lines. I didn't have a ghost up, so I had no idea until I crossed the finish line. Especially since I messed up the final horseshoe. And now, at least a half hour later, I'm still stunned. Pleased as all get out, but stunned.
I watched my replay, and up until the chicane I drove about as well as I could possibly imagine. The chicane was pretty decent, and I was able to stay in 5th gear. But like I said earlier, I thought I had totally messed up the last turn, but I guess it was one of those drifting corners that just happened to work out - I'm not really sure.
Here's my times:
Here's the lap, although I'm not sure anyone besides me will want to watch it, LOL.:
