After a lot of attempts (i'm stubborn, haha), managed to get into the 30:7, goal completed! :)
Top 15, happy with it!

And my lap on video - done on controller! :)

 
Decided that this would be Spa week, so I don't have to think about doing Spa again after this.

Starting off with the Mclaren, figuring start slow and work up to the faster Gr3. This thing has a very lazy turn in, you really have to start turning well before you might expect. Fortunately, a lot of the usually tricky corners at Spa are easily flat in a Gr4, so missing an apex at Eau Rouge/Raidillon or Blanchimont isn't the end of a lap.

This lap is far from optimum, in later laps I was almost 3 tenths up through S2, but threw it all away at the end of S2/start of S3 and couldn't find that pace again. 158th is decent enough in such a competitive category, so I'll leave this one here.

Tonight, I will tackle the Merc at Spa and see how we go there. I'm expecting that to be even more competitive, so the aim is to be top 500.

I also have the DB11 at Interlagos to do, but will save that for closer to the end of the trial.
 
I think I could go a little further here, maybe half a tenth. It’s a long lap for Gr4s that rewards early throttle and aggression, also any hesitation on La Source is punished immensely due to slower acceleration in this group. Gotta maintain that apex speed at all costs 💪

I‘d say S1 is where you can easily gain another tenth or even more. Have you tried starting a fast lap with a wide entry? I would kill for your S3 times however. So consistent as well!

Thank you for the suggestion and S3 compliments; come to think of it, I’ve not tried the wide run-up. I’ll do so next time!
 
One session and done, can’t really be bothered to go again. Pretty okay combo once you got the almost two tonne truck under control. I unfortunately messed up the final corner and threw away two tenths, apart from that a really solid lap. So that’s... satisfying and frustrating knowing a .1 was up for grabs. Yeah, oh well. Gotta get rid of the two boring Spa ones shortly as well. At least we have a cool daily A this week so some delivery on that end at least. :)
