@Gomario JSP Are you setting alarm for 5:30 tomorrow morning?
Don't set your goals too high. As my friend @crome says, you will be disappointed. If you succeed, I'll make myself a priest !!!!🤣🤣 I have already warned my wife and my daughter 🤣🤣🤣1'27.980, I'm far away from my goal and I'm puzzled as to how to improve greatly.
Enjoy your holidays, mon amiNew test today on Interlagos before leaving on vacation. I was able to approach my best lap (1'34'541) with a time of 1'34'592 (optimal time of 1'34'2xx) but I couldn't beat it. My time of 1'25'514 on Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta should also remain golden. I wish you all a good week, have fun and above all take it easy on your times !!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Good drive and enjoy![]()
You're right. I need to change my goal to a sub 1'27.000. I think silver is realistic here, gold is out of reach for me. I don't have the extra skills and manpower for getting the job done. But that's okay, I need to focus and only do what I'm able to do in each TT. Thank you for taking the time for giing me helpful tips everyone, I appreciate it,Don't set your goals too high.

I use GT7 as a reward system, when I get 💩 done that I need to get done, I allow myself to "waste time" in GT7. So do your chores and then buy a wheel!You're right.

I know I said I was going to bed a couple hours ago but I got sidetracked eating and playing gt7. My mom wants me to start curbing the time on here though. I'm not pulling my weight around the household.
Ooh come ooonnnnnn.....🤣🤣🤣@Gomario JSP Are you setting alarm for 5:30 tomorrow morning?View attachment 1348970
@Chris30, it's funny. 130R was one of my best corners in the TT. Where I lost the most time was on Spoon. I've always struggled with that corner on Suzuka, and 130R has always been a good one for me.@luv2drive I think the Suzuka (Mclaren VGT) challenge was the hardest for most people, because only a few hundred people earned it. 130R kept killing everyone's lap.
Skoda VGT, Fisherman's Ranch 😉🤣Will be interested to see what the next trial is to replace the KTM.
Lovely looking British Racing Green leader board there.... And @crome 😉😂Good evening everyone - hope you all have had a pleasant weekend. As seems to be customary these days, I’m only getting an hour or two each week to get laps in as a consequence of craziness at work.
Since my KTM time is still respectable (although now outside the top 200), I rented a Jag and put my first 100 miles on it this evening. Took a while to get the hang of it, but if this ends up being my only session, it’s a decent enough lap. No doubt I’ll slip down my friends leaderboard as the week progresses, but I’ve got a little vertigo right now!

only one snooze? 😲
wow, you really did got up 5:30 , I mean it was pretty much a joke, wow...@Barareklam
I tried mate, but it didnt' go as planned.... 300km's + and ran a 562, a 563 and a 564 this morning....
![]()
So i tried... and i have failed
I'll try tomorrow.... altho 5:30 was kind of early.... and without progression... it will prob stay 6:00![]()
I realy did yes, must say..... it's 4 PM right now and i'm starting to feel the effects from it staring at my laptop making detailled callouts in Revit Architecture for a project......, i have to blink more often than usualwow, you really did got up 5:30 , I mean it was pretty much a joke, wow...
I see you too have 3 laps at pretty much same time, me too, I thought I am only one that has 3 laps within 001 I have two laps exactly the same PB and then one lap just .001 slower... but hey 33.3 is in optimal but I can't stich best sectors together. Jag is fun, let's see if I will push for more or not, one thing is for sure, I am not setting alarm 5:30 in the morning haha![]()
Gives your front end more bite! Slows the rear and levers the front tires into the surface without using the brake. Works a treat although I'm nowhere near the talent of the aliens with it. The exact Rev match is the hard part for me.Most of what I write is of no value to anyone other than myself. Idea reinforcement is supposed to be important.
I have said something to the effect that "once in the while one of the really fast people let something slip", with the qualification that they never intended to hide it, it was just something they knew and never really thought about articulating.
I watch and subscribe to Tidgney, theKie25, and Mistah_MCA.
A common thread in most videos is rotation. I would hope that anyone reading this understands why.
A common idea is downshifting for a little more rotation.
To my simple mind, I had interpreted this as "a little slower", as the turning radius decreases as you slow and you can accelerate faster if you are pointed at the exit more quickly.
To the point, in theKie25's video about the Interlagos TT he makes a point of "when to downshift to 2nd during turn 1" at approximately 2:04 in the video.
Lightbulb moment.
Weight transfer is important. Correct timing of weight transfer is even more important. If you can transfer the weight to the front tires at the correct time to decrease the turn 1 turning radius and ease the transfer to turn 2 you can exit several miles per hour faster as you are straighter exiting and avoid understeer. I found .2 seconds with this idea, now just another 1.5 to go.
I would hope that my rambling would lead someone to watch the video, grasp the idea and go a little faster.
It has pros and cons going to second in this case for me,I started out hitting 2nd before turn 1 but was faster and more consistent staying in 3th same for T4 and T12 I stay in third, and have the feeling that the car is more stable.Most of what I write is of no value to anyone other than myself.

I prefer third but if I'm coming in too hot second and right back to third will get it turned better than just third for me. You've got me by nearly a second though so I'm not telling you this. 😂😂😂It has pros and cons going to second in this case for me,I started out hitting 2nd before turn 1 but was faster and more consistent staying in 3th same for T4 and T12 I stay in third, and have the feeling that the car is more stable.
So it's not that necessary for a descent time..
But I'm going to try hitting 2nd one more session cause this morning I had zero progression 🤣🤣🤣
OK I really needed to check this into very detail before I write it here on forum publicly what I will say, so I checked three times to really be sure in what I am saying, so...I am on pretty much on pair with Jeddah in first three turns, and I can keep it because I shift to first before first turn so I can rotate car better. This is from video comparison of mine lap, upper one, and Jeddah lap, lower one. This is however my not fastest lap but 1:33.675 since I made a miss in first turn on my 1:33.532 lap, so what I wanted to say, first gear can help you out if you execute it properly. And best advice is to check Jeddah replay when he is shifting and try to replicate.It has pros and cons going to second in this case for me,I started out hitting 2nd before turn 1 but was faster and more consistent staying in 3th same for T4 and T12 I stay in third, and have the feeling that the car is more stable.

You are a lot closer to Jeddah then I am, occassional I'm sort of with him when I nail it like 1/10 🙈 most of the time that is that floating on the curb feeling.... but I'm sometimes gaining on him after T4 and T5 cause he oversteers quite a bit there.OK I really needed to check this into very detail before I write it here on forum publicly what I will say, so I checked three times to really be sure in what I am saying, so...I am on pretty much on pair with Jeddah in first three turns, and I can keep it because I shift to first before first turn so I can rotate car better.

Here are 3 printscreens from video comparison.
How are you at higher revs but lower speed in thos screenshot 🤔 had you just slammed down from 4th to 3rd at that point?
I'm still looking for the table...I've finally made it to Day 2 at RA. Good progress was found, but still more time is left on the table.
I think top 100 is achievable is you only dress a less distracting livery
