About an hour in and one clean lap to show for it. Having to keep TCS on 1 to keep control.

10 laps in. OH! The PowaH! Not my best lap but there's almost 2 seconds to get from my theoretical best so... Try not to fight the track with this car. Let it run where it may and gently guide it where you want it to go. Short shift out of the slower turns and over those "hoppy" spots. Little bit of throttle goes a long way for stabilizing this thing in the twisties.

Found a bit more than almost 2 seconds and there's still over a second on the table.
 
Just to give some company on the board 'til it gets fixed.

Board is fixed, but the participants with 2 splits posted have been removed. Just update with all 5.

Greetings from trackside Porsche curves!

Special thanks to @Jordan for providing the platform on which got to know each other!
 
For me every second with this car is a tough fight and I have no idea how I could change that. It is really exhausting. I've stopped counting the red laps. Not to mention the dirty ones.

I've tried a lot with the brake balance. Currently I am at 7/4.

Ok so apparently you can use single digits as seconds. Today I learned.

Hey guys, now uni is out of the way for another semester I've decided to come back. Although I tried to submit a lap and was rejected for just about having everything wrong. Is there anything special that I need to do this week? :)

We are between a rock and a hard place here, most cars fast enough for LeMans have insane LSD settings, others have too short a tranny for the long straights (Mulsanne). We tested many cars on a DS3 and a wheel, and some were plain impossible for most people (Disgustingly difficult indeed ;)). Surely not enjoyable for a TT to say the least. That said, we sometimes go for the hard lesson: Few challenges as demanding as a R390 at LeMans. This one is all about learning when to hit the go pedal at the exact moment, because a bit too soon or too late will fly you into a wall :scared: And hey, we didn't go full sadistic and fit Racing Hards :D
Will start running this one as soon as my thumb heals.
 
Are we doing the same thing we did for previous Le Mans combos and ignoring the white lines in the Mulsanne chicanes as long as we are within the curbing? I ran my first laps under this premise as I had a difficult time understanding what the OP is saying.

Fastest and only clean lap of my three installment laps. Brake balance 4/5.
