Praying to the old gods, and the new, that I'll have some time to drive tonight.

Look forward to seeing what you manage Ron 👍

I have never raced the reverse of this track to be fair... my splits will show that after I race it tonight

Looking forward to some rally again

 

[Mr P]

Not the easiest combo ever but i like it anyway and it will certainly take some time to catch up with those splits by the front runners 👍

I'll be back 👍

 

[Renrag39]

Another 70m already and finally found .3. Dunno where from, but it appeared! My negative time!
And .2 off optimal!

Finding time at every corner. Will need a full day at this.

 

[Iceman]

Had a first try last night after the long drive home and a few bourbons, nothing close to the burners coming out from @Renrag39 yet . Here's hoping it was just a liquor limited pace, this one's a blast 👍

Seen some 18.1's but annoyingly this one has my worst T1 and best middle section... so more to come 👍

 

[Small_Fryz]

It all just came together, i have a close call in the corner after T1 where it got close to the inside barrier right at the jump but I didnt hear any noise and the car reacts to the suspension compressing and the way the jump flicks the car straight not a wall touch. I'm confident its clean however will keep running and see if I can get better. I have a feeling I can still find a tenth or two.

Finding this one surprisingly a lot of fun!!

You mean the perfect one 👍

 

[Bass Addict]

Fun combo!

You really like the dirt Mike, well done...I hope you are in the EU race so I can follow you!

 

[RuddRacer]

After a couple of sessions today and just a handful of clean laps here is what I have to show for it.

I'm blown away by those who are doing in the 2nd sector in the 44's.

Need to try BB 0, I’ve been running +2.

No sign of the 18.0/.1's yet.

My little walk through which consistently nets 18.0/18.1
Take the first corner like you do the last at tsukuba, trail brake in then Coast a little as it drifts out slightly from the inside then pick up the throttle and "second apex it" right where that dirt sticks out on the left. When done right you are full throttle nice and early and coming out fast! It's not good to go in too fast and drift out wide, better to sacrifice a touch of entry to nail that exit. Then grab 3rd earlier than you think and stick nice and tight and smooth through the next s bends. Im sure I can do a 17.9 With this method.

Hope it helps

 

[Small_Fryz]

Gave it some more time this afternoon and I did see a 17.97x T1! Seems you really need to get a good exit out of turn 1 and then shift to 3rd before the right hand S bend.

I managed to improve my time by .2 at the line plus I know for sure my lap is clean. .25 from optimal however its very tough to replicate all 3 perfect sectors in this beast! You can always do with a few more tenths however I'm happy with this lap!

WOW, I have some work to do in the second sector...

Found one of the three seconds I need to find... Great combo Javier! 👍👍

Still no luck with 18.0, but @Small_Fryz early shift tip is very helpful overall. I think 6500 ish is the sweet spot. Lots of time to find in the final sector yet I think.

 

[skaboy607]

Sadly I won’t find time for this as I am at a wedding in France. Shame as I had my best result so far in dirt, which was massively unexpected. Prefer road. Good luck all.

I was doing turn 1 in 3rd gear.. Thanks for the tips Going on now for an hour or so 👍

 

[Infernuz]

Another combo in the dirt, yey!

T1's terrible because i've been inconsistent on my turn entries. Good start however.

ps: was i the only one that had a GT4 aura while running with this combo?

[Renrag39]

It's just too much fun to stop! .2 up at the line and .5 off optimal!

Slower splits but up overall, still cant nail sector one, and this sector two is missing half a second

...this sector two is missing half a second

My sector two is missing ONE and half seconds...

For the first time ever, my fastest ghost is from heat #3 today...

 

[Renrag39]

Slower splits but up a fraction at the line. I sleep now.

[RuddRacer]

Took a few ticks off in every sector thanks to the shared tips above. Still over 1 second off the pace in sector 2, maybe I can find 1/2 of that and get to a 45 flat.

This one's clean but I have been faster in each section... it's getting late and the neighbors probably know when I'm rallying on GT haha will get my final laps in tomorrow when the clunking noise isn't keeping the street awake 👍

Great splits by all on the board guys

 

[GTP_Guido]

The race was good practice. 👍
