I think this is it for me...Really struggled to get a clean lap this week, in fact I really struggled to get past the Dunlop chicane most of the time :lol:

28.225
26.571
17.899
18.703
26.386

Excel says I've left 0.3 on the track...they can stay there!

Will submit later once I've double and triple checked the replay. Good luck to those still chasing ghosts :cheers:

🤬 ...this lap is dirty

Please stop. :lol: You winking at me?

Edit: It seems for now you and MadMax both relinquished positions to me for fastest splits, and now I have two. :)

That's a bugger Jon lad but I know exactly your pain...

You winking at me?)

Not yet - I think my current facial expression could be described as "Manic" :crazy:

You Div 1 guys (and Max too) are hilarious. :lol: I thought me and my 1000miles was crazy.

Sorry to hear about your dirty lap, Jon, hopefully you have time now, since I know you can "do it again". 👍

Congratz to Little. While you are at the grocery store please pick me up a burrito. Your blood pressure will probably thank you later for not taking part this week. The OP should have come with a warning:

'People who are pregnant or people with back problems, motion sickness, or heart problems should not take part.'​

I gained 12 seconds from first posted lap to current. :scared:
I gained 11 seconds in the first 800 miles.
I gained 1 second in the last 1100 miles.

When I realized this chain is when I called it quits. :lol:

No time now Lucas - it's 7am here and I'm getting the kids breakfast and gettign ready for work :grumpy:

I don't even know what my next clean lap is, but I do know it's a lot slower...

That's crazy Dom, I've barely ran 600 miles this week!

MadMax

Nice job...driving like a true champion. I know your ranked D2 gold and I have no clue how close you might be to ever becoming a D1...but your good enough to be one thats for sure. I have always thought that, but your proving it bigtime at this track.:)👍

That's seriously how it goes with this.

I remember back in my GT4 D3 days, I could pick up about 4 seconds from my first save to my submission. But it always took half my running time to find the last 0.5 or so.

Apologies to the reviewers of my lap, very difficult to get the perfect spot/photo, but can't throw away a clean fastest lap.:crazy:

Yeah I gained over a second a day until exactly the last .500 I gained, took 3 days and at least 1200 miles. :crazy:

Unfortunately no submission from me this week :irked: My intended submission is dirty and I can't now get back to my PS3 to look at alternatives.

Good luck to everyone and I'll be back in week 39 after my vacation. :cheers:

EDIT: That's where my lap went south Dom

Ok run to the line, a bit cautious coming out of the Porsche esses so lost 0.2 compared to my best sector there but up 0.15 on the lap.

Those are just the best "clean proof" photos I could get in an hour of watching and freezing every 3 minutes or so.
It really, really sucks not having rewind or better yet, still-by-still.💡

I ran a late night session to try to fend off Chris and Dom, they can never leave me alone! Too late to post splits for fetchy but I think I was +0.1 at T5 and about -0.1 at the line. Another close call in the final chicane but I'm sure it's clean (but I don't have any "evidence" prepared). Hope it will be enough!

Left about 0.6 out there compared to my best I think. Very hard week - this car is mental. :P Well done all survivors - average pulse rate in WRS this week about 150bpm. 👍
