Great lap!
I'm telling ya...that thing is just too much fun. I am having blast with it, even when i get tired I just keep making laps. šŸ˜‚

Thanks!

Yes - it certainly helps when laps are sub-two minutes!

I forgot to mention: as is tradition, today was lawn-mowing day (we must've gotten about 12 feet of rain the last couple days, so it was very long already and very wet)...I dunno what it is, but it seems to help me out in TTs...for some reason!

Hopefully I'm able to knock ~half a second or so off at Suzuka upon getting back from vacation, as I'll only have a few days to do so, and I'll still need to finish that week's daily challenges as well. I'm glad I picked the Honda tonight, though.

Ah yeah, you get dangerous on the leaderboards after mow day. I don't have a set schedule on mine. I just mow it around my work schedule, weather, and all of the other single man crap I have to do. But, today is going to be mow day for me too (it's about shin height LOL). I'll wait until the sun gets on the west side of of my trees and gives some shade. I'm still on this whole 'no beer' kick šŸ˜’ I am going to have to have a 'cheat day' before this Laguna combo goes away for sure. šŸŗšŸ˜Ž
At this point, not sure when I will start Suzuka. I am looking forward to it though. Since PD basically destroyed my beloved 458 :mad: rendering it basically useless in any type of competition, I have to learn the 296. I don't hate the car, but not real fond of it. It is much wider to me and trips track limit penalties, and just barely tap walls in it (Deep Forest). I like steering with the back tires to get fast and the 458 is an absolute beauty at it. I think that why I like the Honda right now so much it is just like it, if not better at it. But, the 296's balance feels 'off' to me. The CG is set to where it just skids and doesn't let the backend just step out under control. I try to throw the back tires out and there I go, skidding sideways across the track. Uhhhg. Sooo, Suzuka is a favorite of mine and I was in a lobby the other night with a group of A+ guys and was doing well, UNTIL, yep, you guessed it... it skidded out sideways in the first sector S's :banghead:. Anyways, practice on a track I know and enjoy will be good. I certainly won't be at the top of the leaderboards because of car choice, but it will be a learning week and fun.
 
Morning folks - first try at Suzuka and first run in GT3 with the new physics for me. Tried a few different cars, and for me itā€™s about finding one that doesnā€™t wash out at the front under power. So far the Mitsubishi and WRX are the best cars out of the 6 or 7 I tried out this morning. Havenā€™t tried the RCF or the Genesis yet, decent start though with my fastest time after a 9-lap run in the WRX.
