My poor new times. Weekend ahead!

One day, I wish, I'll drive like you, sir! I have access to LB!
At this moment I'm looking for a steering wheel, I believe it will make me less miserable.

I started out on those times, so you have nothing to be miserable about.

And you're currently faster than 10 Div 2 drivers as well! 👍

Plus you beat me in Week 3 in the BMW . . .

I'm at baby steps now, creeping closer to my "magic lap".

20.845
35.911

Still on my previous tune, with a small toe change.
 
Faster - I went faster oooh!

20.877
36.044

But I messed up the last sector as is just par for the course and only got .061 at the line. At least I know what I can do now though - never thought I'd see a .8 first sector that made me happy the first time I saw, then when I saw it again straight after with the .0xx second sector I knew I had to get it home in front of my ghost, so maybe I shall be able to string it together with a great last sector for my ultimate lap. But maybe always seems to get harder to find.
 
Finally submitted my qualifier. Can't wait to get started. I expect to land somewhere in D3. Last time I did WRS was in back in GT4.
 
great on the first sector... but decent in the second.

21.063
36.875
 
20.888
35.972

Lost about a tenth on the final turn :sick:

Submitted and accepted. I don't think I will be able to get this one any better. Found .2 at the line so I'm pleased.
 
Better splits, looking for better lines.

21.100
36.300
 
Another quick session, totally obliterated every sector time again :D

20.800
35.900 (is it me or is the sector time in the replay off a little? Never had back to back .x00 splits before)

With Andrew's settings this combo is sublime, thanks both @Vagabond and @doodlemonoply.

What are the odds of getting the same T2 time over and over and over again?

Think I need a line revision here to get it down to the late 35's. Any tips?
 
I've worked out how much time I have left on track based on my best splits in all sectors - it's only about 1-1.5 tenths. Not sure if that's good or not, but I'm not too worried now about my final sector on the LB lap.

I don't know why I never tried to work this out before, in fact, because it gives me a greater perspective on how I'm doing, and what my best is. It doesn't make it seem more achievable, but I guess I'll be lucky to find half a tenth by the end of the week, but even that would be past my goal that I set before I worked out my best sector times.

How you do you do that?
I never know what is a reasonable tim to expect of me. Much less how much time is left on a track for me.

I use a calculator. Take my best lap time and minus the two sectors to work out my best last sector and compare them all over a session. Then add my best sectors based on my posted splits over the week to work out my best possible time. My splits are projected to be about 35.9xx potentially, though I don't know if I shall see that.

As for what is expected of me, well I never know that. But I seem to be doing okay this week judging by my position on the LB in amongst some D2 Gold drivers and faster than a D1 driver.

So another .061 at the line - just another half tenth now I think and I'm there!

Whose ( in terms of PSN ) tune would that be bud? Not really familiar with people's real names around here.
 
Time to give everyone a little cautionary tale of excitement followed by profound disappointment, embarrassment and anger:

Ran 20 laps using @Andy 0 tune yesterday afternoon and found it to be highly successful and started enjoying driving the car again. However, by the end of the session, i had learned the following things:

- Remembering to turn SRF off after a seasonal would be good;
- SRF really does make you 2 seconds a lap quicker;
- SRF makes this car 100 times better to drive and eliminates the understeer;
- I really should have twigged when I was running 20.6 S1's and 35.5 S2 splits!! But I was having way too much fun with it to get distracted by little things like that.

So, anyway, once I had resest the lap leaderboard to wipe out my assisted laps, I ran 2 laps minus SRF and, yes, the car still was less fun to drive than watching paint dry!!

After eating, I tweaked Andy's tune slightly and finally saw some improvement. Not only did I manage to get under .3 for S1 but managed a .044 so all hope is not lost. Also improved for the S2 split and gained 3 tenths over the full lap. My best S1 and S2 combined gives me a 36.1 so am a way off that in one lap but the potential is there and am confident I can go quicker with further tweaks. Big thanks to @Andy 0 for his tune 👍

S1: 21.166
S2: 36.516
