Oh, well eventually this old guy (is 52 old for this game?) will get it.

Aha, a '60 model like me ;). I'm 53, Argon is born in '56 and Firecracker (GDS) is 74, so all in all I think you're a bit young actually. We won't hold it against you though :lol: 👍

The last corner was where I had the most trouble. I really had to nail that apex to get the most out of it so waiting for, what seemed like forever, the car to pull around it took a lot of my patients. But I tell you what when you hit it right you'll feel like you mach3 out of it.
Pretty cool. 👍

I get the feeling that it's better to take it a bit wide so you can get on the throttle sooner thus getting a higher speed on the last straight. You might lose out a bit to a ghost at the corner but you'll catch it again before the finish line.

I have tested this a bit, I determined that you can gain a bit from getting a better exit but if you go too wide you won't be able to carry as much exit speed and you will lose out time from taking a longer route round the corner. I tend to find using a line roughly in the middle of the track before I turn in works best :)

EDIT: Found a tenth!

Exactly. But ya gotta wait for it. too soon and you'll go off to the left of the track and all is wasted.

Thanks Lucas, I think it's my first run this year. Bit rusty, but the track is familiar and the car is forgiving of some clumsiness. Managed competitive T1 sectors, just need to find a bit in T2 and T3 and then hook it all together. Sounds easy doesn't it :crazy:

Making improvements on the first sector, and minor improvements on the last - but the second sector still is proving difficult - it's that sweeping right hander followed by the left hander, I just get so confused by it.

35.312 35.120 35.245 35.048

Getting much better now in sector 2 thanks to the driving line - now I just need to get the 22.0xx I had in the first sector again along with a 35.0xx and I'll be very happy.
