I put a certain festive Ferrari - on harder tyres - as rabbit, and got a .13 improvement (or, I'm just faster at night).

Can you change the leaderboard name to LLOYDZ_ELITE69? I'm deleting my GTP account and sticking with my original.

I feel pretty dumb for not thinking about this before. Will try this soon. I'd guess finding the right rabbit is key.

I just intended to destroy the tt lap, and it happened on the first full lap. Of course in my case it's slower than what ever lap wins. The benefit which I gathered after the fact is, that the ghost stays the same for a good while.

42.600
1'05.933

Average S2 for a change. Point two eight at the line.
 
Got a bit more than 10 laps tonight!

47.671
64.604

Carried 103mph thru the quick right, got the braking point right for the tough hairpin...then made a colossal cock up of the last sequence, which I know how to do....so yeah, this lap was properly blown!

Will be back another day.

Edit: Ooops typed sector 1 wrong, will re-post.

dropped 2 tenths in t1 then gained 4 tenths back in t2, a lot of time hiding out there ..

Using 5/7 bb, hugging the walls and short shifting seem to be the key.

I'm glad to see other people using this trick. I make a rabbit ghost by upgrading the car to illegal specs (softer tires, more power, or weight reduction). Then I detune it back and start chasing (you need to get out of the session to clear your fastest lap to be able to save the new fastest).
That way I'm avoiding blue splits popping up (because that makes me nervous and I often mess up a fast lap).

Good tip! I'm defo trying that 👍 blue splits seem to make me back off then steer the car into a wall :lol:..

That's insane, first lap chasing illegal ghost..

And you bumped me on the leaderboard. I'm not sure if I should share other secrets with you :)

3/7 BB works better for me but you have much better pedals so you can probably get away with higher values.

Sorry about that ;)..

Seriously though, I improved in one lap, what I'd been trying for half an hour, would have improved more at the line but I could see how close I was to my ghost in t3 and knew I was faster, then panicked :lol:..

I've tried 2/7 and 3/7 but found I was having to brake early to get the car slowed down for the corners, I may start to reduce the front BB once I get more confidence.

again, great tip:gtpflag:

I want GTP_LLOYDZ to be unregistered but keep my LLOYDZ_ELITE69 account registered. I'm not going to use GTP_LLOYDZ ever again. Sorry for the impatience
 
I have relayed your request to @Vaxen and its in his hands now. For this week's TT you should be using your LLOYDZ_ELITE69 account, as I anticipate him having the change done by the time he does results next Monday.

It's possible you may get Fetchy rejections to your submitted replays for this week, until we make the change on our side.

Thanks a lot again! Sorry for me being a typical Canadian. Being impatient.
 
New splits:

41.967
1:04.783

Very small changes, but gained over 2 tenths at the line.

Edit:
Whoops, wrong lap.
Edit 2:
That was the right lap after all, didn't realize I had the exact same splits, :lol:. Sorry for the useless double post:dunce:
