Come on lad, I mean 'better than sex' is just a turn of phrase.You drive much better afterwards!
Would be great to meet up, but I'm off to Geneva that weekend - then on to Argentiere, snowborading with a friend who lives over there
.
Well some other time then
I bettered my time a fraction down to 1'19.444 -thanks. A question for you: If I stay in the TT (I'm on lap 19 now) then my pp will increase as I drive the car in right? Will this enable me to run at a higher pp than I'm allowed?
McL, you need to get another TV installed in the bedroom. Soapies, series & the odd glass of wine (or 2) have an amazing effect on GT5-itis in wives. Hell, mine even acts guilty when she sneaks off to watch a couple of episodes of Fringe, Sons of Anarchy or some such. I just make sure I top the vino up from time to time.
What you might call a 'working compromise'...

I can't thank you enough for the great tune Stotty, it is making the car really enjoyable to drive as well as fast 
Thanks to Stotty's tune I just did a 21.784 first sector and continued onto a 1:17.399 (currently 16th Place), I messed up the middle sector a bit and braked way too early for the last corner so still room for improvement

, as far as I can tell it is all about fine throttle control and balancing the car on just on the point where it is about to break away in order to get it to turn into the corners better but without breaking traction, it is very tricky but that's the general idea Just got a 1:17.291 but lost 0.15 in the last corner Getting the back end to swing round on the brakes makes a difference as well but not so much that you crash 
Thanks for the tune Stotty 👍
Found it very hard to control at 1st on the pad but got used to it and improved on my previous by 0.5secs!! and just broke into the 17s,which was sort of my goal.

My first sector was 2 tenths slower than yours but I'm less than a tenth behind you
Edit: Nevermind. You are in the top 10 now. Nice job 👍
Nice rant
If you're currently at 1'18.2 there's no miracle set up that is gonna gain you 1.6 seconds, so I wouildn't get worked up about Amo's tune - I've had access to his tunes in previous TT's and I have no idea how he get's them round so quickly... he just has a talent beyond most poeple to control weight transfers through the wheel, gas and brake pedal.
If you look at how he takes the 1st corner, he's using GT5's 'brake release oversteer' trait to precisely point the car at the corner... that's how he manages to carry so much entry speed. I can set a car up to do that with ballast, toe and brake settings, but to be able to control it that precisely isn't the tune, it's his skill.
In any case, you don't need to be at 103mph in turn 1 to set a fast 1st sector. I can stay within 0.1xx of him on a good lap at T1, and I'm dropping to 100mph in turn 1... but then I'm not getting as much oversteer on the exit and so I pull some ground back on him before the 2nd corner.
Here's what I'm using... 1'17.6 (24th), but I reckon this will run very low 17's once I figure the middle sector out.

Edit... BTW, forgot to say, without tuning, the really fast guys will be even further ahead.
Can't believe I just did 21.668 in the first sector! Of course I promptly crashed it
I haven't gotten any sector 1's below 21.805
I barely improved to a 1:17.43 to get back in the top 20 but I do have a 1:17.1 or lower possible.
I had a 1:16.8/9 on but messed up the last corner haha
