First decent splits:
38.137
28.009
29.766
The car can be downright evil at times. Often I'll be accelerating out of a corner without a problem, when all of a sudden I experience snap oversteer that is far too savage to correct and the lap's gone.
Really need to improve in T1... how is a 37.6xx even possible in there?! James, you are something else.

Its just all about feeling for the grip. It's a technique I picked up from watching D_Holland videos few years back. This TT reminds me of the Academy TT @ Motegi in 2012, where it was all about inducing a slide on entry and then getting it as straight as possible for the exit. I'm using a similar technique in this. I have always liked my cars tail happy though, suits my driving style.

If you thought his sector 1 was amazing, wait until you see mine!
37.639

29.724
Lost 3 tenths in the last 3 sectors. Gain of a tenth at the line. Oh, and I'm using the 8/8 brake balance.

Do you use a wheel now? Thought you were still on the trusted DS3, shows I've been away for a while!

I would say great first sector Andrew but you seem to have done that yourself.If you thought his sector 1 was amazing, wait until you see mine!
Damned tricky car on the limit... you think you have good traction and suddenly its gone. At full power now anyway and making some progress:
37.723

Lucky number 7.... Pretty close to my limit I think. Nice to have you back James, if only to show me how a real alien does it.

Getting pretty good at the old self promotion thing I see.
Must be taking lessons from you know who.

About those two turns, I was wondering whether it was better to take them in 2nd or in 3rd... ?

The second one is definitely a third gear turn. The first one I did in second on this lap but I braked too early and you can see my sector time suffered to Lucas. Haven't really had the chance to nail it in third yet to confirm one way or the other...
All that said, there's plenty of people faster than me that can give you better guidance 👍

Incredible times being posted. 
Nice to kick GT5 on its way out the door with proper battles on a rockin' combo. 👍
Welcome back James, and nice tip on the 8/8 BB.
Joost will have to look into Matt's splits, I tried a couple things, but they didn't help.

I surprised myself in my 1.5hr session tonight...I did a lap that felt heroic only to find it was dirty in the first turn (umm, yeah, early brakes
). Had to do the exit/change oil/reload dirty ghost thing, and then beat that lap by almost 0.2 on my first try. 
Still a few tenths, or at least ... tenths that *I* know of.

What-Oh! :-)
Was I away for that long that I've been cast out?
Thanks for trying Lucas. I need to run a lot more to get back into the swing of things anyway so it's no problem.
