Submitted and accepted. I really wanted to do well and get a negative whatever we call it, but it's going to take me a while to improve. Busy week coming up again, so not sure how much time I can put into the next one. Hopefully at least an hour.
 
Not had the time to run this during the week, so devoted today trying to improve last splits.

Spent a total 4 hours but to no avail.

Time Submitted & Accepted
 
Three hours racing for a whole .131 improvement at T2. Sadly that only translated to .007 at the line :banghead:

40.318
1:06.985
 
Done for the week. Meh could have done better just couldn't find the time.

40.966
1:07.433
 
Third session, and so far I've managed a 26.100 T2 plus a T3 about 0.1 quicker, so there's a good 0.2 to find yet.

I actually managed those sectors in the same lap and went 0.1 quicker at the line, but I discovered that I went a tad too wide coming out of turn 5. Oh well, my T1 wasn't that great anyway.

Edit: just managed 26.050 in T2. Pity the rest of the lap wasn't good enough. :irked:

Edit 2: Urgh... no improvement. Two more quicker laps, but both of them dirty. I'm off to bed...

I'm debating on whether to submit my time this week. I'm way off what i normally am, but i just can't get into this. It requires so much throttle control and I'm no where near as good as @Spud_Skills is on the ds3 to be competitive :bowdown:

You'll be eligible for promotion if you do. ;)

I think it's actually 4 submissions, but @Vaxen should clarify. Just submit, Brandon. No-damage to your handicap.

He told me this in the promotion thread.

Vaxen
To be eligible for promotion (under current rules), you must meet the handicap, and must have successfully completed at least 3 finalized events.

True, but it won't be enough to get into d1, which is where i want to get promoted on my first promotion. Believe me... I'm waaaaaaay off this week. I may try again tonight. We'll see.
 
Finally got a decent lap together. Slower T2 but .250 quicker at the line.

40.350
1:07.000

Time to quit while I'm ahead. This has been an incredibly frustrating series of spinouts with the occasional decent lap thrown in for good measure.

Submitted and accepted.

Still leaving a few tenths out there. Not sure I'll have time to run again, this might be the lap I will submit.

I've run more laps on this event than the previous two events. Sometimes there are just combos that the DS3 just aren't as competitive, and this is one of them! I've managed a few 1'05.xxx at T2 but I have serious difficulty at that chicane and just always seem to lose traction or cut the track too much. I'm submitting with the splits on the board, I just hope my T3 holds up to get me on the D2 podium! 👍
 
Well I've submitted - it's been accepted too :) - I just can't go any faster :(.

Good luck anyone else still going, see you in the results thread.
 
Managed to match my splits on the board but only 0.1 down on my best lap now after having to chuck my replay for a out of position foam block at the chicane hopefully il have matched it or got even closer by the submission deadline
 
40.067
1'06.250

For a 3 tenth gain at the line. In T1 i left 2 tenths, hopefully i'll pick them up before this ends....
 
Submitted with my already posted splits, don't expect to see improvement anytime soon so it's off to Matterhorn :crazy:
 
Really enjoyed the combo.. a big 👍.. For some reason as my overall lap times increased.. my T1.. got slower.. saw 40.3xx & .2xx averaged .4xx..

Final.. accepted

40.544
1'07.061

Time to give the Matterhorn.. a go.. :dopey:
