Managed to have one final go at this and I can't say I ever felt fully in control of the car but somehow got it round in one piece!

This combination has grown on me a lot, felt impossible to start with but once you accept you don't have the downforce of an F1 car and your breaking points are way sooner than you'd like it's actually quite good fun!

The Viper is quite good on the brakes actually, most of the other cars we tested should have been fitted with parachutes :D

Late to the party, but I'm not ailing now so I can actually do some laps. Undecided if I can find more time as trying to push just seems to make it go more wrong then I want.
 
Couldn't improve my time, so submitted with the splits on the board. P3-P5 splits are 0.04s apart :eek:, will be interesting to see who makes the podium. Good luck everyone! đź‘Ť

Looking for another opinion on this, I think it’s just ok.

It certainly looks like about 1cm of contact patch is over the legal rumbles, but keep in mind that the actual photo taken in photomode is what we will use to make the determination of clean vs dirty. It looks like you're still in photomode preview mode there. In GT5/6 there could be slight differences in preview mode vs the actual photo, so we have opted to use actual photos for evidence. That might involve taking 5 to 10 photos per.
 
Thanks for the responses. :cheers: @Gravitron the image is from photomode before the actual photo is taken, where the camera settings can be adjusted; the problem I had with taking an actual photo was that it made the curb blurred, which made it more difficult to determine contact.

You need to up the shutter speed to 1/8000 instead of the default.

Botched turn 3 on this lap so the splits aren’t as good as I would like, hopefully the final sector is good enough to make up for it.
 
I reckon I nail turn one about once in 20 laps(this wasn't one of them lol), of course linking that with all the other corners is tough, good combo though you always feel like theres time to find.
