Agreed, didn't find it particularly nice to drive, at least not at Tsukuba... Had pretty much the same time you got there for a while but eventually (after too long) I got a pretty good fluke lap in and managed to equal my average delta of 0,92%, we’ll take that.

Struggling with finding time and motivation, especially now. Been drowning at work but finally the last day tomorrow before some nice days off for real. Would've preferred to do something more fun than drive the R18/919 at Spa but hey ho...

Oh, the downshift block thing feels strangely implemented, really not liking it at all. With the Mine’s BNR34 here sometimes it was like it completely refused to downshift, even the “first” downshift from 4th to 3rd into T1. Really weird.
 
I agree, I've noticed the downshift block being extremely poorly implemented in all three active time trials.

I had a beer pairing today (drinking most of my wife's beer, too) saw I was now in 95th, and after a lot of swearing, I got a 57.173 out of nowhere at Tsukuba.

I do not have a chance in hell of improving on that I don't think. 🤣

Any tips on Tsukuba please? I can't even get out of bronze, would be happy with silver at this point. What assists are everyone using?

Haven't done it since the first day but the key is basically...

  • About half way round the hairpins get on the power in 3rd, rotate the car and power out
  • Only use 2nd for turning and coasting, you don't want to use it for acceleration

I only used ABS weak.

I've had this problem now twice in the last two nights? What could possibly be causing that that is specific to Spec III?

In fact I spoke too fast, I still have disconnections! Did you find a solution?

Active Countersteering assistance on strong it will help you

What people said above - get on the throttle MUCH earlier than you think you need to, about midway through the corner so you're just coming into boost when you exit - otherwise you need to sit through all that turbo lag as you exit. I had Countersteer Assist on strong so I could run TC on 0, and I actually seemed to find ABS on Default was helping me here most of the time for the three hairpins, in that it would dedicate some braking force to turning - similar to rolling off the brake pedal, which after a while, my foot/leg wouldn't always let me do.

Have you watched @Tidgney 's video? Even though I deviated a bit from there to keep dropping down time (mainly downshifting in the corner to get extra rotation before upshifting to accelerate), the lines and brake markers are still what I've been using all along.
 
I recall getting a time of 2:01.7xx for the one featuring Gr.1 @ Spa-Francorchamps, using the Audi R18 ‘16. Fun stuff, here’s hoping my gold time will stick.
