Ok. Double posting. 1st split a touch slower but T2 was faster!

19.978
 
13 Drivers so far!!!! I can’t wait to see all these sub 19.5T1’s. I just can’t put this one down! Kind of biased after creating this TT! :sly:

It's the kartodromo in Portimão. Highly recommended!


19.373

This combo is addictive! I guess i have reached my limit, but it's fun to keep on trying. I even switched ABS off, since you don't need aggressive braking here. But you need to make sure that the weather will provide you with some wind in your back when going uphill, it will allow you to shift into 6th without loosing speed uphill.
 
19.568

If I’m reading the times correctly I’m nearly .5 up from when I last posted, and that’s after I got sideways leaving the hairpin. I’m definitely going to keep trying, but at least I’ve got down to a time I’ll submit.

I've seen a few 19.5xx's but never managed to keep it together to the finish. Doing much better with the 1st hairpin now but the one in sector 2 is making or breaking my laps. I'm super inconsistent and also exceeding track limits there. More work to do, but its a fun combo.

I'm getting frustrated with the variable weather on these time trials having an impact on lap times. I hate wasting time reloading event so the wind direction isn't unfavorable.

Last night finally seeing consistently fast 1st sector times I came flying out of the first hairpin in shock! Had to keep it together for the next one, I hit the 2nd hairpin apex nicely. Now the nerves were through the roof, just concentrate! It’s full throttle the rest of the way, watch the apexes!!!!! Very happy with my lap. We shall see how it goes!

BB -2
 
Done with this and submitted.
 
Submitted with posted splits. Was fun using the controller this week. Going back home to my wheel. Good luck everyone and thanks for taking part!
 
Updated split

19.498

Submitted best saved lap to fetchy but will be giving it another go tomorrow.
My fastest valid lap came after a dirty lap and I forgot that I needed to exit and restart event. :banghead::banghead::banghead:
 
19.564

Not really feeling like doing a session yet today so just posting yesterday’s split and submitting so I don’t forget, as if I drive again it’ll probably be close to the deadline to let some of the heat die down.

Good luck to all, I’m looking forward to seeing the results as I really don’t know what times we’ll be seeing. Sector 2 has stolen some really good times from me.
 
New best lap submitted with this split

19.517

I'm still 0.3xx off my theoretical but I choke so easily on the last hairpin this is probably it for me.

Good luck to all!

Shared my best now. Enjoyed this, there must be other tracks that could be awesome to try this on for a change.
After saying that, I went to check this combo elsewhere, found one I think would be great and a challenge.
Alsace Test Course, 1.32mls either forward or reverse would be another fun challenge sometime, trial run tells me its like a 50 second ish lap 😆

Me looking at the leaderboard this morning...

The Big Lebowski What GIF by MOODMAN

Bought a new kart just to double check that my lap kart was stock. Shared the replay, still have the feeling that something was wrong with my lap...

I always get that feeling too, don’t worry, pretty soon it’ll be typing out “I don’t know how I went that fast either, stop asking!”. :lol:

Anyway, maybe a little early, but nice time, congratulations on the win. Hopefully it won’t be too long before the next one, but you do appear to like small and grippy, so maybe not too soon either, as that’s where I’m happiest. What other options do we have beyond RB Junior? Maybe a fully tuned Cappuccino? :drool:

I have been thinking about a fully tuned combo. Trouble is it would have to be all parts allowed because we have no way of checking the vehicle details. Stay tuned! (Pun intended)
