That was lucky, just about to post my splits. Couldn't understand why they were so good. Happened to read comment by @Mr P.
Drat wrong tyres. :banghead: 🤬

Was a great combo with RH.

Start again.
 
Reasonable improvement but I have been finding it difficult to be consistent with this combo. I was probably guilty of overdriving and can now see the benefits of being more gentle with my inputs.

Had time for 15 runs at this again tonight. Really focusing on braking pressure to avoid running wide or upsetting the car.

Improved my times some:

26.391
18.748
28.152
 
I may not have time to get back to this, so subbing now just to get something in there. Might be a D2G time, but better than nothing 👍

Ran 30 more laps. The slower I went the faster my times got. I was over driving. Have knocked off 4 seconds since day one. Only .8 off my optimal. Pretty happy with that.

Lots of tail-happy moments. :D As I've said to some of you, if you enter the TT and it gives you a warning about "freeing up 5MB for replays", just exit. You won't be able to save or view any replays. You have to clean up your replay saves...I haven't found the limit there yet, but it's probably around 0.5-1 GB. It has nothing to do with your free space on the PS4 hard drive.

It's fun to watch Bob drive your car in tight Scapes spaces :lol: Home on the main screen -> View Vehicle

Using the rental car for the TT, and bought this one for online. :gtpflag:

Finding this a little fustrating.. splits go down, yet lap time gets faster.. However I managed to string a lap together to go .2 up at the line, although lost time in sects 2 and 3.. so still time to find..

Two observations:
On fresh runs the cones in the chicanes are strategically arranged to shoot your car in the air and ruin good laps. Second, I have no feel for this what this car will do. I feel like I hit the line through a corner that I like and it just sweeps to the outside with me having no feel of it happening. New times:

26.667
18.737
27.887

This lap is close to dirty on the final chicane, although two tires always maintain contact with the rumble strip. It far closer than I ever intend and I hope I can beat it to submit a lap I'm more comfortable with.

I was having the same issue with the cones tonight and so I switched to using ‘the force’, well not ‘the force’ but the holographic corner markers instead. :rolleyes: All of my braking markers are on track and I didn’t miss the cones at all.

Hopefully I'll get time to improve before Monday
 
New best at:

26.222
18.367
27.579

Improving a bit at T3, but still far off where I want to be. Setting ABS to Default instead of Weak did provide an immediate improvement, must've been locking up pretty badly going into the chicane.
 
I need a break from this and see what I can do on Sunday night for one last go...:crazy::crazy:

Long week at work.

First 10 lap stab at it.

Fetchbot doesn't seem to want to accept my times. I've tried the format it suggests when telling me it's not been accepted tried format shown on 1st page of this thread and a couple of others. What am I doing wrong?

27.771, 0:27.771, 0'27:771
19.122, 0:19.122, 0'19:122
28.891, 0:28.891, 0'28:891

Using "GTP_WRS Week 3 Submission" in subject title. All of the formats above have been rejected.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
:banghead::banghead::banghead::boggled:

Edit: never mind, I went to the leader board to see what format was on there. Resubmitted and now it works. I'm at the back of the bus but I did say I'm the old slow guy.
:lol:

Just curious, I see some are adjusting torque split and brake balance. When using the courtesy car per the instructions these adjustments are not available. What am I missing?
