I assume you are talking about turn 6 that leads back to the bank? You can apply partial throttle before the appex then floor it afterward. I actually braked a tiny little bit early right before the sevice road and quickly downshifted to 2nd. This rotated the car and I had to use partial throttle to keep the rear stable. Helps with exiting speed.@Evilmuffin, good lord, man!
Meanwhile I drove over 225 miles tonight and gained a whopping .05 seconds. So frustrating. I've got issues at not only the bus stop, but also the turn leading onto NASCAR 2. Everyone blasts off that corner like it's nothing, and I can't get the damn thing to turn. I WAS on a lap much faster than my best (video below), but I ended up managing to cut the chicane and got a nice, ol' red time for my troubles. : Still would have been nowhere near your time, and slower than @Gomario JSP's, as well. But it would have been a nice pickup.

Ugh...bus stop failure.
Edit: somehow uploaded wrong video
Yep, that's the turn. I'll try to throttle up early. It seems wrong to do so, but that seems to be how the last like, 5 time trials have been. The cars turn better when you mash the gas as opposed to slowing and waiting for the car to rotate.I assume you are talking about turn 6 that leads back to the bank?

Also check your abs and set it to normal. It helps turn 1 tremendously.
Oohh...I know. I've done a 28.75 in the first sector. A 24.3 flat second sector and a 16.1 flat at the bus stop 4th sector. That's nearly 3/10ths faster that the PB. Imagine that! A 1:44.5s 🤪Firstly, that's one helluva lap. You use second gear a lot more than me. So that's going to be the number one thing I test out when I finish work today.
Secondly, I hate to say it but there's another tenth or two in that. Your DRS is disengaging intermittently on the banking before and after the bus-stop due to steering angle. If you get it just right you can do the whole 2 banked sections without it switching off at all. I know you already know this, but there is also some time left in the bus-stop.
I reckon if you absolutely nail a lap then a 44.7 or better is possible.
Thank you! 🙏Note: tested with countersteering assistance on strong to make the bus stop as smooth as possible. Try it out if you're struggling there !
Je sais, mais mon TOC serait tellement plus apaisé 🤣
Personally i have it on weak, i have enough feeling for what happens but les exhausting for my fingers trying to chase those aliens here for a thousand laps sometimes , different the Dualsense right!, so much better!How are you having haptic settings on Dualsense?
I have on default, but it seems to hard to press accelerate and brake (specially).
It is already shared. Just look up "muffintop" or "daytonatt" in showcaseView attachment 1305216
Holy crap!, "new video from muffin poo"....
That is insane mate, what a smooth lap!
Place 25 in the world.... faster than @djolliea ??!...... that deserves a whole pile of poo! 🤣🤣 congrats mate! insane!
i set the alarm clock early for some blasting, jus to wake up by
A: seeing your time......
B: seeing there is maintenance 😡😡
*edit - can you share your replay so i can try to chase you tomorrow?
Whata start of the day....... 😂🤣
I think I have it on strong, for some moment in time I felt I could do better on weak but I think I am back on strong. can check when I come home and post again if it something different worth to mention.How are you having haptic settings on Dualsense?

Well, as my username suggests, I know an alien when I see one...At what point do you start becoming alien? 👽
Borrowing from the duck test, if it looks like an alien, drives like an alien and gets a top 100 time, it probably is an alien.At what point do you start becoming alien? 👽
Naah we can't toutch him anymore..... he is gone, no longer among us, that muffin has sailed, no longer one of us ..... 🤣@Touring Mars @half_sourly
I'm flattered! But I honestly think it's just good timing (pun intended). I'm sure a lot of people have been busy with Master License tests and grinding little Italian cars into the walls at Daytona or whatever else we are able to do since 1.40.
The 911 GT3 RS at Daytona will be the real test.
I don't know if I'll be able to touch recently ascended alien, @Evilmuffin.
I put in my longest stint on a TT today than I have in a long time.
Back at Lake Louise for almost 40 laps. My shoulders feel stiff. But I made very good progress. I really started to get Turn 1 down, gave up on exiting Turn 3 in 4th gear and just clawed out in 3rd. I seemed to get a more consistently fast S1 this way. I was getting low 32 or high 31's throughout the session. Then on Lap 37 I managed a 31.610 in S1 ... I knew I had to make this lap count.
Strung S2 pretty good, hopefully S3 just didn't suck. Well, S3 was 💩 ... But not nearly bad enough to stop me from setting a new PB!

Here's the lap.
Hopefully tomorrow I can put together a good lap with a better S3. But I feel pretty good about making it to the first page at least for now!
