My improvements have been at the end of the lap.

I've got no idea how to improve that T2 and if I can manage to balance the car at the apex of turn 2 of the chicane I can get decent exit speed w/o wheel spin, but that ain't easy.

Are you guys taking the sweeping downhill left all the way inside? Anytime I try to brake late it gets fugly :lol: This one is hard for me, which is good for me ;)

Try going from 45:55 to 10:90 as more power to the back may help than back to 45:55.

Brake earlier and lighter than you want to and let the car roll for a bit with no throttle - I don't take this one (nor the first turn) completely inside, but close to it. Make sure you're staying in 5th as well, 4th is a big time loss (took me an hour to realize this for the first turn :O).

5th, eh? Okay, let's see how that goes. Thanks buddy!

You still got it my man, great tips! New splits and a faster lap after one session.

Still 45:55 +3BB I spent the first part of today (an hour?) trying different TD settings, I keep coming back to this. I will try your TD settings later @Iceman 👍

EDIT: I also changed the controller sensitivity steering option to +3 from 0. I don't know if it had any real affect with my wheel(?)

Perhaps some... pineapple? :lol:

I have a feeling that Pineapple alone will be insufficient for my safe word requirements.
I'm also considering a congratulatory fruit. Something satisfying to say for when I rarely get it right. Guava? Say it with me in a low voice. Guavaaaa! Guuuaaavaaaaa...
I believe the night shifts are taking their toll. I haven't turned a wheel yet!

That'll do for this morning. So much left. Loads in the final sector, really tiptoeing round the last chicane and both hairpins are sloppy.

Great splits Iceman 👍

Does anyone know why are these splits are not showing on the fetchy board?
 
Just seems to take a while to load. Did today's gr.3 race after I posted mine and had another look and it was there.

I see that @Iceman is still in Fetchy's registry as 'IŒman - Be_Weis'.

@Iceman, if your PSN is not Be_Weis anymore you can just follow this.
Instructions for Registration Submission:
  • To submit your registration, start a new conversation with WRSFetchBot(Subject title: GTP_WRS Registration)
  • Provide your PSN ID and country details, exactly like this (case sensitive):

PSN: GTP_EDK
Country: USA
Click to expand...
If you still use that PSN-ID you will need to ask the admins to make the name change.
 
Added a few of you guys, feel free to add me. I added mostly GTP tags as I was unsure if people were using different IDs.

Really hoping to find time to run these soon, just struggling to find time during the festive period. It seems when I do the game gets updated with physics changes

Cheers guys
 
Lots of work needed on this combo, especially on the last chicane (ended up facing the wrong way halfway through it far too many times:irked:)

Pretty happy with these splits for my first 10 laps though.

We've already had some conversations going on about that one. When both are changing (GTP and PSN) it's a bit trickier.

Lost .2 in the 2nd sector but took it back in the 3rd and made .2 at the line 👍

I expect when the real fast guys have a go at this.. we will see splits around 26.0 / 18.1 / 27.0 making a very low 1'11 at T3.. that's how much I reckon is still up for grabs here! but way out of my league unfortunately! I'll be happy to scrape another .2 👍

Good luck guys :cheers:

I really need to get my wheel set up, until then it's pad for me. I'm finding the S turn (13 and 14) really tricky and end up backwards in the barrier more often then not :(

Approaching it a little more slowly, will help stablise the car as you power out, giving less drift towards the barrier
