Hello everyone. Today’s splits:

35.477
1.08.805 😅

Apparently I can’t seem to improve in any sector 🙈😅

I’ll keep trying:)
 
Getting the hang of it...

@barracocco, your splits are not showing up on the leaderboard. Have you registered with WRS already? If not, just start a conversation with @WRSFetchBot with subject 'GTP_WRS Registration' and in the message add these lines:

PSN: INSERT_YOUR_YOUR_PSN_ID_HERE
Country: INSERT_YOUR_COUNTRY_HERE

For details about the registration see here.
 
Well, it seems like i missed saving the replay of the fastest lap of the last splits i posted. :dunce:
Fortunately, today i managed to do a slightly faster lap. :dopey:

Ah, then it’s Fetchy being weird about formatting.

x:xx.xxx

Also, in case you missed the post on the last page, it was originally posted as hard tyres, but it’s supposed to be medium.

Thanks @mistersafeway, yesI posted the Splits in the wrong format 😅

Yes, I’m racing on medium tyres.

These are my last splits:

35.477
1:08.455
 
33.145
1:04.937

Finally figured a decent line through sector 1, here is a sneek peak (sorry, no pedal input as you cannot show it but hide lap times...):

... and some more courage through the left hander. :dopey:

One thing i noticed: you should check the wind direction when you enter the TT (use R1 at the main TT screen to switch to the wind and temperature screen), you want to make sure it's pointing along the start straight. This straight slopes downwards, so having the wind in your back will give you about 5km/h additional speed. You will loose some speed down the back straight but since it slopes upwards and is a bit shorter, you will loose less than the gain from the start straight.
So if you have an unfavorable wind direction, quit and reenter again, and you will get a new one.

I used the sunny evening setting and also looked for a higher temperature, but the temperature seems to matter less than the wind direction.

I wish PD would fix the weather conditions of the TTs completey and not mess with them randomly. :irked:

That wind really affects the S-curve right after T2. The difference between it blowing left and right (or down/up the front straight) is nearly 10 mph. Here's hoping against hope that it's fixed this week.

I'm declaring a pineapple and submitting with what's already on the board.
 
I just can't string a lap together here; tough track. Great car.

33.114
1:04.701

and I'll submit with that as I won't get a chance to have a go at improving tomorrow.
 
I'm still 0.6xx off my theoretical best and will have one more session tomorrow. Current best lap submitted with these new splits

33.231
1:04.801

Had a blast this week driving the Honda like it was stolen. 👍

Would be nice if PD fixed the weather on the Time Trials and allowed us to load a saved ghost.
 
A very small gain, new lap submitted with slightly slower splits

33.217
1:04.863
 
Wow! My T3 really sucked!
Well done everyone

Regretfully our bot friend and the fruit of JoostB and me did not accept my withdrawal so I will have to await some painful blackflaggin'.
 
Hello guys. Sorry for not submitting my best lap. I had a very busy weekend and haven't been able to log on. Let's see if I can next time :)
