Er, anybody else caught themselves whistling the italian job music.........
 
Didn't have the time to submit a nice lap on nord event, will try to stick on this one.
 
Well, I don't know what the hell I did right to get my fast lap yesterday, but the closest I got after 30 or so laps this morning was still 3.5/10ths slower...
 
First quick session, really like the combo - although I've never run London or London reverse, the laps are quite short so its not too bad to get into a rhythm. Technically a home race :dopey: so hopefully will be able to get a good few sessions in.

T1 28.113
T2 17.646

First week in D2 bronze, so hopefully can keep pace with you guys by the end of the week :nervous:
Currently got abs at 6 and bb is 3/7.

Cheers

Still can't get a line/braking points/anything through T1. T2 I'm happy with, just a few misplaced shifts and a dodgy corner entry to get sorted!

Tricky little combo :lol: Just when I think my line is right to jump through the corners I catch the wall and it's happening a lot in early part of the lap :crazy: an early clean save has...

Very nice!!! 👍 I've seen a .670 in t1, but don't know if I can do again. I'll keep trying, though! :sly:

I spent a half-hour checking this one, and it's clean. First splits:
T1: 27.741
T2: 17.305
 
First go at it! Going to have some work ahead! Toy, great splits!

I could say the same to you, Matt!! :cheers: Nice splits! 👍

It looks like it will be a tight week of racing!!! :scared:

Gonna give it a try - What point do you shift on?

I'm no pro, but I've been shifting just before or right at 6000revs. I did some acceleration tests with a stock Mini S and shifting between 5750-6000 proved to be fastest.
 
Yeah, I'm shifting between 6000-6200.
 
Me and my mate Dan (Mau5_Skills/Dantastic) have just been running it. I haven't really managed to get a clean lap down together yet, but he has the following splits:

T1 - (27.468)
T2 - (17.296)

I have seen a .4 first split and .2 second split also, but haven't put them together yet!

Edit: He has just hit a .286 1st split, really? :/

His tips: Brake at the 50m marker for 1st bend, dive in early for 2nd and 3rd bends, start out wide for left hander, shift up to 4th before left-right section and then he's not sure how to do the last bend.

Will get some splits up tomorrow. 👍
 
Got a little frustrated after another ~45 laps and not getting close to my fastest lap, so I went and ran all of the Karting Special Events. Came back and shaved a little bit of time of in 5 laps.

T1: 27.728
T2: 17.980

Picked up more than 3/10ths in T1 but lost 2/10ths in T2. What strategy is being used before the long left hander, shift into 4th for a short period of time before slowing for the long turn, or stay in 3rd?

Little bit more in there to find yet I think.
 
Not good...PS3 just froze, and will not recognise discs anymore. Backed all my stuff up, and am reformatting...fingers crossed
 
1st try! So slow compared to last week!
