I was taking the first braking curve in 3rd then down to 2ND on the last turn with a small arc to the finish.
Andrew showing up late, putting in small effort makes me cringe at what he would have gotten with a full week.
Congrats to everyone on a great week! Great t4 time @markyboy92
Wow, what a mistake to make all week going into 2nd for that corner but was doing the same as you for the last turn. Can’t believe I didn’t use 3rd considering I do for all other turns

Firstly StigsTC would like to thank DrunksTC for handling the lap submission, however I still want to know how DrunksTC did a 22.154 in S2 while I was goofing off with my friends yesterday. Woke up early to try again to see if I could maybe put one together hoping to recreate that 22.1, but again, lots of great setcors including matching my PB in S1, regularly hitting 26.5 in S3 just couldn't get a lap together so no last minute improvement.
Absolutely mega final split by @markyboy92, I was only 0.01 off my best in S4 so I felt I stood a chance but beat me by best part of half a tenth there, congratulations on a well earned win.
I only used 2nd on the exit of 2, to get up the hill out of 3 and again in the last corner, rest of the lap was taking corners in 3rd, except the back straight in 4th obviously.

Well done everyone, great times up there!
So I somehow managed to drop .8 in the last sector alone!
We were a lot closer in the final results @Never2fast1, if I hadn’t got that lap today, you would of beaten me by a few thousandths!
Looking forward to watching some replays to see what I lost in T4!

Thanks for the kind words guys, genuinely suprised by the win, I thought I was pretty decent on the last sector, but had been over .1 quicker than my submitted lap at times so I wasn’t even expecting a top 3, chuffed!

Btw, would love to see some settings posted by the top guys, if possible! Spent a lot of time tweaking and while it looks like I came up with something that worked well for many it felt like a lot of the process was simply trial and error, rather than making logical (with respect to what I'd expect the setting to do IRL) changes. At some point the line between an improvement in the settings and personal improvement became really blurry and never found anything that concretely improved on the final setup I posted. In general, the main goal I had was to limit the rear breaking loose (this was a huge time loss in general), especially in T2 , while keeping understeer under control.

I agree with Iceman's sentiments whereby you hit a point where the difference between car and driver improvement becomes imperceptible. I'm pretty happy to nail a setup early and just drive the wheels off it and then eventually try and tweak the car once I've got the driver part of the equation mostly maxed out. Did some tweaking and I noticed that I could choose oversteer and gain in S3, but would lose in S1/S4, or I could go for understeer and dominate S2 but suck in S3, was really interesting.

Just had a go using 3rd gearwould of beaten my posted time easy 🤬
I will learn for next time hopefully. Others watching my replay are going to wonder what I was doing
That’s messed up a chance of a good division placement
Took me awhile to learn that it was quicker just to stay in 3rd with that slow upshift. Think that was my biggest gain for the week, well that and @Iceman setup.

Go to "My Library" in game, find your best lap replay, hit the triangle button, and select share replay. The full set of 3 keyword search tags to use will be posted later, but if you use "gtpwrs005" as a keyword that should suffice.

If you mean submit a time, the deadline has passed and won't count now.

Oh, didn't realize. Honestly I'm not that interested in WRS much anymore anyway.
Replay shared, can’t believe how much time I lost through a stupid mistake. Only had a quick go last night after deadline to see the difference and it was costing me over half a second

WRS Merry Xmas
Hopefully I will learn from that mistake next time, I was shocked to be only 2 tenths down on the splits board and then see in the results I was nearly a second off. I soon figured out what I must have been doing wrong though. This no doubt will effect my division placement once I have completed my 3rd trial.
Congrats to Markyboy and all other podium finishers and division winners

Nerazzurri_OutlaHit a track limits cone at the start of T4.
Oh no!
I was so sure the lap was clean! The cone in question was hit on a previous lap & wasn’t there when I did this one. When I checked the replay before sharing it showed the cone already down, but on the first play through it now shows it being there.
I have however learnt a valuable lesson that if I hit a red cone on a slow lap in future I should exit & start again because that cone might not be in line with the others where I presumed it would be.
Thanks for looking, won’t be making that silly mistake again..... hopefullyMunch2112

Watched your lap, looks like I was doing it wrong in the second sector double left as well, you were going into 2nd there. It was only costing me a tenth this time and not the half a second I was loosing in sector 4
Great lap by the way

I did try 3rd quite a bit there too, as you mention it's actually quite close. The excruciatingly long upshift coincides almost perfectly for the turn in on the right-hander where you need to lift/brake anyways, otherwise 3rd would definitely be faster. Shame about the 2nd gear choice in your final sector, was a nice looking lap, I'm sure you'll be in for some even better results in the future 👍

Yes, contact is enough to DQ the lap

I’m happy to be overruled if an Admin wants to check it too and make a final decision! 👍
Edit: @Argon beat me too it.

Thats fair enough, rules are rules - I’ll let that be a lesson for other events. Cheers
