Gonna be difficult to catch the Division 3 racers! First runs! Got my learners permit, and driving test in a 57 Vette.

Gave this a try last night, but just don't find any joy on this track, never have. See you next week.
 
Can somebody tell me what times I need to send to the fetchbot?? I've read the thread 3 times now and I can't find it. anyways, my sector times of my 2nd correct lap:

39.155
42.406
33.998
28.150
35.027

I know I can do way better than this, this is just my 2nd lap I felt a bit good about. A lot of time is still to gain on the kerbs, I'm to careful and should use the kerbs more aggressive.

Before the deal line, or when you decide to stop running, send your final time (not splits) to fetchbot follow the instructions on page one. Send it with the subject as indicated otherwise it won't go through, I usually copy and paste the subject to minimize mistakes, the time should be sent as Time: XX'XX.XXX

Okay cool, thanks!👍
 
Still time to gain on many parts of the track, It's so hard to tie a clean neat run together on these long tracks.
New splits:

39.021
41.871
34.014
27.995
35.293
 
Tried another 20 laps while internet was down. No progress :( I shall keep at it...

I'm so bad at sector 1 compared to the top 6. I'm half a second of that pace! If I become able to nail sector 1 as the top 5 does, I hope I can challenge gtpcaine for 2nd place :D.
 
I've seen a few 38.0xx in t1, 41.6xx t2, 33.7xx t3, 27.8xx t4 and 34.6xx in t5... so if I can pull a decent lap together I'm looking at a 5th split time of 175.7 seconds (2'55.7xx)

Game on Chris :D
 
A few more clean laps in, lost a fair bit in T2 on this one, but faster overall.
I might get one more run in before deadline.

That mulsanne curve is hard as hell to get right. I'm way off the divisional pace, gonna get some new pedals soon as I think mine are shot. Race proper about to start, can't wait!
 
After 2nd cicane there is that red tarmac (on right) is that clean to use it when you come out of cicane?
 
In OP it said "Circuit de la Sarthe 2009"

Any admins: Is that red tarmac clean to use on back straight when you coming out of 2nd chicane? Or should you be in between white lines on back tarmac all the way?

Got to do 15 more laps today. I am finding it hard to improve. The turn at the end of Mulsanne can be a real time killer, if you don't brake at the right time.

39.025

34.324

.5 better at the line, terrible sector 2, so I have a bit more to get.

39.057
42.756
34.116
28.194
35.016

Another .7 at the line, I am getting to really like this combo.

You mean down the Mulsanne straight? I'm pretty sure its ok to run onto the red tarmac - it isn't mentioned in the out of bounds section of the OP.

Finally felt like my knee was good to go for another run tonight and managed 7 whole laps, along with a few restarts...

38.024
41.401
33.742
27.827
34.579

Best sectors would put me up another 0.4 at T5 but given my lack of consistency, how uncomfortable I am after tonight's longer session (40 minutes or so) and the fact I got a reasonable run through to the line, I reckon that's me done.
 
Yes i think it's Mulsanne (long back straight). There is that red tarmac both side on the track.

Edit: Ok then i give other slipts :)
