Here is my shot at 5 minutes of fame. If I get it in soon enough, should be at the top of the board...:)

I found something that really helped me. This community has been so helpful and sharing, that I want to also.

This car has a very, very wide power band. I have been playing around a lot with the gearing. Not much seemed to help at first until I started widening out the gear ranges so I didn't use as many gears. I was using 4 gears only (3rd through 6th), but wanted to find a way to try only 3 gears.

I found it. I set 1st gear to 102mph, 2nd to 130mph and 3rd to 160mph. I only use those 3 gears. So, believe it or not, acceleration from 60 to 145 is 0.3 to 0.4 seconds better than stock or any other combo I could come up with. It is unconventional I know, but try it.

So less shifting and better acceleration...works for me.

Not sure how much faster this is, I was using it in the race tonight and on the straights the other cars were pulling away from me a couple of hundredths on the time delta. Anyway I won the race with your gearbox so cheers :cheers:
 
Oh my! Smashed my previous time by around four tenths, but am in no way happy. In this latest session I had multiple 32s in the first sector and 34s in the second. At least another half second out there to find. If only I could be more consistent in that final chicane.

@Siggers Congratulations on the win!!!

Thanks for the feedback...interesting. I did the testing on flat straight with Max downforce. I wasn't sure how it would do up hills and against cars with less downforce and drafting. I may have to experiment some more with it before the deadline.:cheers:

7 tenths off optimal

All I've changed is transmission

Still 'chipping away' with nearly 539 miles run. Possibly getting near my limit now as plateauing with similiar best lap per stint over the two weekend days and optimum/best lap close together despite trying different set ups.

Can run 1st sector faster though and have a late further thought on 2nd sector which will try out tomorrow before submitting so more laps to run yet.

Yeah he did real well, I didn't know he was only using 3 gears til after the race
 
Every now and again I come up with surprising sector times like a .157 T1 and a .162 T2 but I'm too inconsistent to string them together. Anyway, after a good final sector I did manage to find a litte over a tenth at the line despite splits slower than I had on the board.
