Done. 35 laps this evening. Played with BB but I found stock to be the most reliable setting

Lost some time on the way into Ascari and Parabolica and had to wait to get on the throttle a little which is killer in this car
DF 475/660

Welcome back, stranger. haha. May have to submit a time for this one and relive our battle at That's Monza ... with a 'Z'. Great pace so far. 👍

This combo is scary but

Ate some sand at Lesmo 2 and nearly spun it, so fun but frightening to push the limits!

This hasn't got much easier since my first few laps yesterday.
15 more laws and about another 8 tenths at the line with a terrible first sector

[Eggstor]

Just can't get the 2 consecutive clean laps needed to get a time.

See you next week (maybe).

 

[Allibubba99]

Hope to see you give it another go Steve. @Eggstor . There is a learning curve, the car is very rewarding once you get used to it.

My first set of serious laps...

Lower aero? Sharing is caring. Nice splits, man. 👍

 

[Carlos Fandango]

Yep followed Baron's lead. Scrappy lap though

 

[Thematic]

After about 2^8 spasmodic km.

@GTP_Patrick1 Missing something?

Must have thought I was still at Red Bull Ring short with only one split sector. . I will fix a little later on.

Sector 3 not so good on this lap, but overall better by half a tenth. Have 2 tenths left if I can string the sectors together.

BB 5 5
Aero 450 600. I tried Baron's lower aero, but could not get thru turn 1 in any way but sideways .

 

[GTRacer22]

Slower T1, but much faster T2

Bumped Baron's rear DF up by 10 (450/550) to make turn 1 less of a struggle, used his 6/4 BB as well. Personal best in T3 for 3 tenths at the line.

 

[GTP_Patrick1]

17.133
48.333

Best sector 3 so far, for a nice gain overall.

 

[Gravitron]

Sometimes you've gotta break some eggs to make an omelette awesome hotlap. Rhythm is key on this one.




Brake points are the 200m sign before the bridge at the first chicane, "right after the suggested gear starts flashing at Lesmo 1" - maybe a better marker is the orange Armco and the AGIP sign on the right - 1sec after you pass those, Lesmo 2 right before the last 50m sign. Ascari just an instant before you hit the overhead sign. Should be able to floor it out of there if you get the line right.

And for Parabolica, the empty gray sign-holders near the 100m board.

 

[luv2drive]

Finally got some laps in on this combo tonight... very fun! Nice job Al!

My brake point for Lesmo 1 is simply "that shadow". I couldn't point it out though.

Crappy T3 though so you're safe Lucas
