Still not able to complete a blooming lap with a 12.0 first split :banghead: even had a sub 26 at t2 and stuffed it :grumpy:. But another 6 hundredths off at the tape 👍.
Taking a break for lunch, fresh air and to give my poor, bleeding ears a rest :ouch:. Still aiming to take off another 2 tenths before deadline :crazy:.
:cheers:

How do you do that with slower splits?

edit: I need to figure out turn 4 if I am to improve in a reasonable timeframe.


I can't drop this - 0.58 seconds is trivial to you?

:embarrassed::guilty: Well, not a typo....just a silly mistake. 58 thousandths then :dunce:. My bad, sorry for causing your brain a little more fatigue than was necessary :dopey:.

:cheers:

0.011 seconds away from my revised target but 0.015 closed than I was last time 👍.

One more session to try and improve or I'll be submitting this one.

Good luck all :cheers:.

Edit: 40+ more laps, no change :cool:.

Been out of town and only been able to give this about an hour so far, hopefully put a few laps in tonight. I started on MT and switched to AT. Anyone else give up on MT? Can't really shift by engine noise so I guess most folks are simply memorizing the shift points around the track after a few laps?

Just seen this one buddy! Spending ungodly hours of the morning re reading this thread :lol:
What race view do you use? I never run a tt in anything but MT, I just can't see how it wouldnt be quicker that AT (someone who knows better feel free to disagree though)

I race in normal, so all I see is track, this gives a good sort of subliminal view of the rev meter at the bottom, for this one i was shifting when the needle hit the red line, or just before it, I can kind of see and hear both those things happening so it wasn't really an issue for me.

I think it would be much harder however if you drive this from the external view, as I remember that one is really hard to see the rev meter and also it would sound different!? Like not as Loud? Maybe I'm wrong though. :gtpflag:

I use the cockpit view, nothing external. Bigger issue for me is using a DFGT wheel and the 900 degree rotation with flippy paddles makes it hard to get on the shifter through some of the turns. I was figuring, probably incorrectly, that just concentrating on my lines and not worrying about shifting would at worst even out. Maybe cost me a few tenths but margin of error in the rest of my driving is multiples of that.

Maybe give bumper cam go, I find it really helps as you get the little red dot flashing at the red line, I also drive with the DFGT, my first and only wheel to date... Might post my current set up as it's a bit ridiculously bad
