T2-33.066

It would be nice if the live timing in the race menu worked. Kind of a pain to go into the replay to get the splits, unless of course you set a fast lap on the first try.

Some cleaning up to do, first session:

35.837
33.279

Been .2 faster at T2 a few times only to play pinball...you know where

Possibly legally sober but very rusty.

 

[Mr P]

I only just found out this car has 7 gears... simply because my wheel geared up twice by error haha

A couple of little tips for anyone who doesn't know already, The twisty section after T1 approach in 4th gear and when you know you have the line... gear up to 5th entering those turns and rumble ride through in 5th for a much faster exit also.. enter the bus stop in 5th gear and then up again at the apex of the turn to 6th gear and carefully thread the needle for a much greater exit speed to gallop towards the last turn 👍

You're Welcome!

I'm all over the place on the BB in this beast. I think I've settled on -3, but your splits are faster soooo.....

T1 is tough to get just right, I haven't seen anything below a .5 yet, but I've ironed out the rest of the lap. Just have to put it all together.

Every time I set a new best lap time I always have one sector off by .2 - .4 sec.
Guess I should not expect anything different after being away for over a year. Its going to be fun getting the rust off.

Yep I'm having the same problem; still can't put it together yet. Good news, is we have all week.

Still gonna keep chipping away!... I can see mcsqueegy's dust just a smidgen ahead :tup:

 

[Espial]

BTW: I think there is another way to check your splits than to watch your replay all over again. After your session in the screen where you can start viewing your replay and save it, just go on Session Results and you will see all your laptimes. Just find the one you're looking for (usually the best, so highlighted in green) and there you'll have all of your sector times. Best sectors are also highlighted in green (can be on other laps).
I'm not at home now, I'll post a screenshot later.

Hi,

27 participants, that's a great start for the new WRS 👍

But how the hell are those topguys doing such incredible splittimes? Are you all using the wrong tires?

Think I have to practice more....

cheers,
D.

 

[Mr P]

Some more laps...

35.301
32.754

Best T1 was a .133 and saw a 1'07.9 at T2 and abruptly stuffed it exiting the bus stop 🤬

I'm not done here yet 👍

That's where I see how much time I'm still losing compared to my optimal laptime.
