Shelby at Daytona was surprisingly good fun. Need to have some fine throttle control for the corner exits around here. Was able to sort this about without too much trouble. Nice to be driving at a time of day other than noon for once (as @NAXEHT also pointed out).

Had a tenth in the optimum, which I believe came from getting a bit of wheel spin on the exit of the West Horseshoe hairpin, but the rest of the lap was optimum. Hit the grass on the bus stop in a way that rotated the car perfectly, couldn't go much quicker through there.

Unfortunately, wasn't so successful with the MR2. Had a .2 in the optimum which I felt was achievable, but I was getting too tired and frustrated by the lack of progress. Eventually gave up, after a fruitless 100km with no improvement to the best lap. I think if I had nailed all 6 corners there was probably a .1 in there somewhere.

As per usual, putting a whole lap together was not allowed. Having an optimum S1 usually meant I would out brake myself into the penultimate corner. The few times I had an optimum penultimate corner, it came after having a slow S1, followed by a miserable final corner. Perhaps if I had another day to do this I might've been able to get some improvement in, but I guess it wasn't too be.

Didn't bother with a replay for this one, too tired and annoyed by the time I gave up :lol:
 
Would have loved another week in the MR2 like we usually get, but nah, let's not do that and have a third, terrible, one to also deal with.

It took me 128 miles, but I found a whole half a tenth in the MR2, and got myself down to a 0:52.406.

Probably shoulda just spent the time at Daytona, as that's an even more fun one.

And I would have, if not for Oops This One's Only a Week Long.

But, clearly: **** that Red Bull TT. It was not even in consideration.

@half_sourly Maybe some trouble in approach. From yesterday, 0 DG-Edge updating and some trouble with Gran-Turismo.com too.

Thx mate

I won't be able to check until the weekend. Hopefully it will be sorted by then.
 
It's a new concept ? One TT lasts a week, and the other lasts two week.

Fun new physics. Determined that the CSA assist is even more of an aid than before.
Gained an instant 2 tenths over my non-assisted lap.

Could be related to just this particular car as I have yet to drive any other cars with the new update. Kinda cool to be ahead of Adam by over 2 tenths. Maybe this new physics model is his cryptonite🤣.

Autopolis ghost is bugged on PS4. It's lagging 3s behind.

I think it's not just Autopolis or PS4. On the Nürburgring TT when I start with, say, 0.5 s offset and having it reset at sector start, it feels like the game now subtracts 0.1 seconds at every new sector, so the ghost gets closer and closer and by the time I reach S5 it is level with me. Very annoying because I'm basically useless without a ghost 😄

Hope they fix it soon.
 
First time in Caterham 1:16.8
Don't know how to improve, 👽 must be driving with some assists, while I have only ABS.
 
1:14.9

The Cateram's persistent skittishness annoys me on a deep personal level. I may learn to hate the car by the end of this TT. Decreasing controller sensitivity has helped. I may turn on counter-steer assist later.

At least the Cateram feels much better than the BAC Mono... Though, truthfully, the Mono set that bar in hell.

ASM on at all? Abs still weak? Can't for the life of me get this thing to point straight. Stuck in nowhere right now.

Throttle feels far more linear now. Maybe that's messing you up? I noticed same thing as Dan, CSA made a huge difference for me, where normally Im not able to drive with it. But because Im a stubborn old man, I turned it off and eventually ran a little quicker. Im still far off pace according to DG-EDGE.
