Thanks for the Vid @Mr P !

If only I could manage to replicate it! Barely seen any 13.6xx let alone .5s :(

Managed to improve the rest of the lap though and I think my last sector was solid too.

13.703
16.838
 
Been about twelve weeks since I last did a time trial, thought I'd give it a try again this time. Real life stuff kinda got in the way.

14.136
17.412

I might try again tomorrow though, I don't feel confident with this one, especially around S2.

Did a practice race with @suprajef to show off our CTSCC liveries.

This Mustang is surprisingly grippy around this track

I know, it's kind of crazy.

We were testing it on Friday night, and I went in knowing I most likely wanted a Gr. 4 car here, and one we have not used.

On paper, this looks like it could be a handful of understeer, but it's surprisingly balanced and nimble.

I also tried the Toyota 86, which was awful here. Snap oversteer city. The Lancer, which was understeer city (along with the GT-R). AWD was just not working here.

The only other cars that were in the running to use were the Jaguar and the Aston Martin. They were both similar to the Mustang, but did not have quite the same grip and balance. I'm guessing the Viper would also have been good, but I wanted to save it for a track that the power could really be used.
 
This car is insanely good on this track. Excellent choice!!! Good to see EDK running and everyone else too.

BB +1

13.631
16.871

This will come down to the last corner and who nails it.
 
13.720

BB+1. Up .02 at the line. Best I can manage in 2hrs concerted effort. The kerbs are nearly as bouncy as Alsace! Love the combo but never been any good at Tsukuba. Same goes for all the real tracks, except Bathurst it seems.

If you didn't know, this is @EDK's favorite track. It's a shame he's never raced there in real life though.

That's a tough one. Struggling to find grip in the tight turns, turn 5 especially

If by 5 you mean the Dunlop corner, right hander under the tire bridge -

You should be able to manage it with just a lift, but lift early and turn in aggressively to get the car to the apex.

Don't be afraid to take a bit of apex curb, but you can't take so much on exit that it compromises the next left hander. You need to be able to set the car up to take that left hand turn flat.

If you people don't watch the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge from IMSA, you should start now!

I "borrowed" this livery, but it runs in that series. These are "Cage and Go" road cars that race on iconic tracks throughout the US and Canada. 👍

Conty is quite possibly the best racing in the world with the exception of V8 Supercars.....nice combo but would have liked Willow better :mischievous:
 
Improving a bit at the line but still struggling in the first sector.

13.649
16.844

I must admit I'm fairly happy to be mixing it up the pointy end after so long away from the wheel.

Also great to see you @Iceman :cheers:
