COD didn't cause me as many problems as I thought it would.
My goal is to get in the 1'57.000's with the Vette, but it depends on how fast I get through Sectors 2, 3 and the C.O.D. It's a big time lap killer and I hate it with a passion, I'm sure other people hate it too, it is badly designed and I'd like to know who built this track. I'm gonna look it up. I'm getting agitated and annoyed, so I think several short breaks will hopefully help me stay calm, cool and collect and not lose it.

It's one of those combinations where mostly I get only one of three sectors right, but this time I got personal bests on the first two sectors. Unfortunately I was almost .3 off my third sector best. This is really a good combo; great challenge.

Agree. I even saw a 38.04 yesterday, believe it or not, but of course then binned it in the next corner out of shock. Rest of the session, other than a .191, never saw anything below .3. Sector 1 inconsistency is very frustrating, but also that I rarely see sector 3 because of all the crashes in S1 and S2. I might have another few goes before I go on holiday, but I suspect I have peaked in this one.Fun, but one of the most frustrating ones in a long time
38.04 is no joke! I think for me S1 is the most difficult of all, still to inconsistent on the fast righthander after chicane nr.1
My quickest times in S1 came from getting part 1 (left-hander) of the first chicane right. If you can dip your left tyre onto the red you can get on throttle earlier and straighten out the right-hander more, carrying more speed. Watch Doodle's replay to see what I mean. The fast righthander seems to play less of a role, as long as you more or less get it right and don't go kangaroo. I tried over and to the right of the offending kerb, but left of it is more consistent for me - requires lifting off a bit more in entry, but then full gas to the braking point and if you get it right, a nice controlled slide into the right-hander leading up the hill. It helps there to get on throttle very early - again benefit from braking a bit earlier (start of the grass on the left) to get that better exit up the hill.
Thanks, I will cook a bit on the left curb pass and certainly watch doodle when I'm home from work to see what you meen
My quickest time through there was probably the time I lost it on the curb at the fast right-hander and slid fully sideways along the entire straight section to the next right-hander leading up the hill and somehow managed to not invalidate. lol...
I hear "some people" use tape to cover split times
and do not get distracted...
I do (in fact I've upgraded to cardboard - it's permanently on the screen), but then my curiosity trumps my common sense!I hear "some people" use tape to cover split times
Amazing time, enjoy your time off too
You should put more scotch to materialize the car width too 😁
Be well mate. Recently we have a terrible flooding here in the south region of Brazil. Biblical tragedy stuff. Hope you and yours are well.
Keep at it and you'll get there!
I know, right? The Vette can be so unpredictable! Yesterday I was trying to find "the right things" to do with it, how to drive it and then start building a flow. But I just can't. This car is a mystery to me.Hi guys (and Greek)
Yesss, it's still me
As said my friend @skydragon49 the Vette seems to have a different behave at every lap. Like him, I really struggle to find consistency and to lap regularly.
The COD, by miracle, is not where I get most of my red flags too. Thank God the S3 split starts right before the COD, so the ghost I follow is right ahead of me. From that moment on I set my eyes on it and try (very haaard!! Lol) to follow it. I try to not care about the walls or look at any track reference. It's just the ghost ahead and me trying to copy its line. It's been working for me.
(lucky you^^)
