I don't think I am driving this wonderful little car correctly. Are you guys drifting this thing through the corners?

Getting there!

What does this break-in to? I'm at 347HP after 102 miles.

Edit: I'm trying to keep it in line Al, maybe I'm doing it wrong too!
 
Gotta try this week again. New dirt seasonal started at Tuscana and diverted me the last 2 days. Not sure Ill be able to come back to this week and drive well after driving a rally car but I will try to.

I always in the past ran my Lancer at -50 -50 (Min Min) ride hieght. I found -20 -20 to handle somewhat similar now. For what its worth thats one thing thats changed. Can set your rally car to low now.

On the entry of low-speed corners like turn 1 you can brake hard and turn to the right hard to make the rear come out just a little bit. Mid corner and on corner exit you absolutely need the traction.

Thanks Wes!

I seem to have forgotten how to do T2 :dunce: Still got 50 miles to go on break-in, but I don't think that is my biggest issue!
 
Finally starting to get the hang of this.

25.395
30.175

Still about .15 left.
 
25.630
30.410

That might look good on the board, but I lost almost everything in T3, I gained only about 0.035 at the line... :(
 
Updated ones for me, chipping away at this.

25.388
30.359
 
Not much left for me in this now

T1 25.189
T2 30.222

Maybe a few hundredths if Im lucky, lost a bit through the third sector - mainly because I was so surprised by my split after the 2nd sector lol.
 
My run from yesterday, I have not tried Wes's advice yet.

Need to finalise this one, found another 0.078 at the line. Still using Chris tune (thank you for that fine tune 👍 )

25.895
30.672

Best sector 2, but awfull first sector, therefore I had no idea I would still beat my lap time with 0.150. With this clean lap, I reached my goal for this tt.

26.109
30.457

Better first sector with a good second, improving with 0.250 at the line, think I am near to my limit.

I think I can do much better, but it will have to wait until I am reincarnated as someone with hand/eye coordination and reflexes to match!

Haven't ran the combo much this week, had a few laps but not improved. I've submitted with the current splits. Hopefully my T3 holds up, looking forward to seeing the results.
 
Have been playing alot of iRacing recently so it was actually quite difficult to get back into the swing of this. Was about 5 laps before I hit an apex:lol: My final splits

25.168
30.187

Going to be really close in the results! Good luck all.
 
Ran some more today, saw some mid 2s in t1 but couldn't hook it to a good lap.

Don't think I'll run again, so will probably submit with current splits, just not real comfortable with the lap. Theoretically, there's .2 left.
 
T1: 25.161
T2: 30.066
Keep finding more grip..
 
Guess I'm better at running around in circles than I thought.

Going to submit with the time/splits I currently have. I feel a bit burned out after the F1 special event and don't feel like putting a serious effort into this to try to better my time.
 
Well I put a serious effort into this combo one last time tonight. Now I am bummed, can't catch up to you guys. I am over done and finished!

Al :(
 
I submitted last night with my current splits.

T1 was just too much of a craps shoot for me on this one, I probably only had 2 or 3 laps with a sub .4 T1, and sub .5 was probably 1 in 10 tries, at best. Good luck to everyone in the results. 👍
 
Submitting. Just didn't have the time I thought I would have this weekend to improve. Good Luck.

Can't seem to string good sectors together...

25.631
30.459

Edit: looks like D3 is going to be a T3 crap shoot :nervous:
...:gtpflag:

Had one more run, couldn't get near my lap times from the other day though. Managed a slightly faster t2, but nearly 2 tenths a lap down on my best.

Submitted my current time, good luck to those still running.
 
I submitted half an hour ago and Fetchy hasn't sent me the confirmation. It is also not in the "online" list. Does it need a reset?

Edit: it now appears on the online list. Should have know this would happen:rolleyes:
