A bit slower at T9, a bit faster at the line. That's all the time I have for this one, and honestly not sure I would improve if I had more anyhow.

Won't submit this week. 2 hours invested for this combo wont cut it. Spent 8 hours + yesterday online for the "marathon" and today is wife and kids day (or else) so no track time for me before deadline.
Good luck to all. May the best ring rat win.
Looking forward to see how the races turn out wednesday with this combo. Good online tunes needed and Jon and his agent have rejected our contract offer of $0 and lots of virtual confetti.

I did a new fastest lap, but I'm not sure if it's clean
Would this be considered clean or is the white line the edge of the track here? I'm not sure, cause this corner isn't in the OP
Which corner, chicane?
If so, clean. The line boundary post was intended for the corners with large runoff.

What turns are driving you mad?
Right now think i crashed in all the turns but:
Hatzenbach (so many good laps ruined at the start
)
Metzgesfeld (so easy to loose control there)
Wehrseifen (and there it goes against the wall)
Eschbach
Galgenkopf (three times in a row ahead of ghost for more than a second and
and now i´m afraid of it an loose a lot of tiiimeeeee on the long straight )
And don´t crash at Bergwerk but only manage one in five i to make it the correct way

None now since I've given up
but when I was racing:- Drei Fach Rechts, it truly can Drei-fach off, imho. Never once done it right. In the end, I started shifting up to 3rd and bouncing the limiter so that I didn't end up doing the wall of death or taking to the grass.
- Is Pflanzgarten the one just after you get air? That one is a worthy #2, so hard.... Again, shifting up to 3rd is my only option as I cannot take it in 4th without going off or cutting it too fine.
- Lastly: Bergwerk, which is a truly odd corner that is so hard to get out of properly. My submitted lap this turn cost me about 1/4 of a second, but then it did on most of my laps.
...despite all this, 47 splits on the board in an expensive car on a very difficult track is 👍

Best from an early morning run. Figured I could get quicker but after a big meal, nothing but junk runs for an hours worth of trying.

The fourth sector is slowing me down. Really need to get that one faster.

i thought the grey area were not considered as ''track'' for the GP part and we had to stay on the white line/cobblestone.?
just wondering if i misunderstood my english isnt 100%.
Great T3 Racer_LP!

Never before had I uttered so many profanities at my ghost nor cursed him and his descendants for seven generations. Was ahead of the s.o.b. by almost a full second at T2 (T2!), and improved the whole lap by only... 1.5s. (He was right on my tail at the second Karussel...)
Submitting with these splits now, I'll see if I feel like trying again before deadline.

Ohhh sweet Jeebus! Finally had some time to run laps tonight! Car kept getting slower so I did an oil change and then put in a magical lap (for me). I'm done w/this challenge. Had one near disaster, see below:

**** it. Over 1,000 miles, countless oil changes, and absolutely no discernible difference in overall times. I think I might just have to accept my position at the back of the pack :/
This is such a deadly combo! It seems like, for me at least, it's either make an improvement in the GP section, then slowly gain it back in the Nord, or take it easy through the GP section, then lose it in the Nord. For some reason, I just can't push myself any harder for the entire lap!
Irritating too, considering that I have a dirty lap that's a full 2 seconds quicker than my current submission! I just had to let my ego get the best of me, and flattened the throttle a microsecond too early at Aremberg, causing me to run the tiniest bit wide into the grass! I saved it and finished the lap pretty strong, and I even thought it might have been clean, but review showed all 4 tires in the grass (haha!).
