Much more productive session today. After experimenting with approaching the corners differently yesterday, namely when to lift of the brakes and apply the throttle, applied it fully to my laps today and the first lap completed was 1.5 seconds quicker at the line....changed the brake bias slightly to 3/6 and managed to imrpove that time by a further 1.3 seconds! So, overall today, I have managed a near 3 second gain...would have been more but my last lap had a poor final sector due to me running it slower due to frequent laps being ruined in that sector.

Will have one more go tomorrow but, given I had all but given up in despair earlier in the week, I have now managed to improve my overall lap time by 4 seconds in 2 days, which I really didn't think was possible...partly down to realising that, on this track, the key to going fast is consistency and smoothness rather than just the absolute speed of other tracks (for example, some corners I release the brake earlier than I instinctively would, let the car coast through most of the corner before picking up the throttle...it looks slower but ends up being quicker)

S1: 44.433
S2: 1:17.983
S3: 1:46.450
S4: 2:36.483
S5: 3:13.833
S6: 3:39.967
S7: 4:29.367
S8: 5:03.867
S9: 5:33.200
 
Was going to skip this one. But, had a free hour and already have the car so... First clean, according to the game anyway, (had two offs) was the third lap and before I started the 4th I changed the BB to 3/7. 4th, and last, lap clean, but slow and likely to be the bottom of the barrel. Ain't spending anymore time with this combo. There's a reason it's called the green hell.

Would this be considered clean? :D

Thanks @mr_lab_rat, the move didn't help my time though. :crazy: Time improvements are littered all over the place, but to string them together and take them home is another story... :lol: I'm not doing this combo justice, would need to be much smoother and keep my cool. Found some time on my third clean lap though, with BB 2/5, seems to help with turning in.

Good luck to all. Final splits submitted (only t1 & t9 were better than previous splits :banghead:), did the best I could given the limited time I had for this one.

Banzaing at this right moment. Been ahead of my ghost by 8 tenths and blew it :banghead:

You're not alone Javier :lol:

Much the same story here, managed to improve my overall and to get below my target but was 1-1.3 up on the new ghost only to bin it at the bend before the 'mini-karussel' being too bloody greedy on exit. :mad::mad::mad:

Won't have time for another go sadly but it's been an enjoyable week even though I've only got around 8 clean laps in after zillions of restarts.

Subbed and accepted.

Good luck all you 'Ringers. :cheers::cheers::cheers:

Exactly same here. Almost hit the gf in the head with the wheelstand. She started asking me random stuff through pflantzgarten, before the dip. Its not the game that makes us agressive, its always the womanunit. Anyway got a better time :D

You should use your DS3 to inflict pain on the person that came up with this crazy combo. Oh wait ... :D

That's exactly what I was going for :D. Submitted and accepted but haven't given up just yet. Will take a shower, fix myself some really strong java and push for another hour or til' I drop dead from self inflicted wounds. Whatever comes first :lol:
 
I'm not gonna submit my sub-par 45 minute run... better luck next time.
 
You wont believe the heartattack i just had. My screen went to sleep on my hot lap 1.5 ahead of my ghost. Luckilly on the straight so i made a dash for the remote but bumped the gearlever in to 2nd so car full in revlimiter managed to save the car and lap still .7 faster at the line. Dont now if had luck or bad luck. Wheter to feel happy or cry a lot. Anyway probably final splits

I just didn't have the time to put in a proper run, but I'll submit what I have so nobody else will be last.
 
Couldn't go to bed knowing that stupid tv caused me to lose .7 so couldn't resist another run. Found another .3 somewhere else aswell. Submitted time for a beer.

Was up almost 2 seconds on ghost at the end and messed up the last few turns. Had lots of fun, not my best track, but really enjoyed figuring things out this week.
