Thanks. It was also with no cones moved - I'm just way too inconsistent to use that method. I had another go yesterday and often I'd only get past corner one maybe one in ten restarts, mostly because I misjudge the start loop and don't get the optimal start-line speed (in which case no point in going on, as it won't be a 17.7xx no matter what, and I need that for a best time), or I misjudge the brake release point for turn one and go too wide or too narrow.

I suspect that, despite a theoretical optimum of a low 1:25.2xx, I've reached my practical peak. It has been a great TT though; just what I needed to put some time in again.

Oppose that to the latest one, with one of my least favourite corners and a car that keeps beeping at me... I did five laps to just post a safe gold time and won't be back.

Yes, very fun one but frustrating indeed if you are slightly off somewhere, my most difficult part is the righthander, I think T3.....
9 out of 10 times I'm sliding to much what compromises the upcomming S'es big time.
Luckly last sector was strong this morning.
I think I could get to a low 5 or high 4 if everything would stick but dont know if that's gonna happen 🤣

Same feeling about the RX7, I had a lot of trouble getting in a descent lap so don't think I'll return either, ....that means I have some free time 😁😁🤣🤣
 
Today drove just above 200kms trying to improve my PB which I finally did with a (safe gold) 2:04:201 lap. I find the CSA to weak more comforting than strong. The first sector even though has slow turns but I feel it's very crucial to get a good lap time. This is the sector where the car's nervousness shines brighter than the sun.

Hats off to all those who are in the top 500 because this car even though on RM tyres acts drunk which is why many are resorting to assists including myself.

Another test in Nurburgring GP :
Improve my time at 2'03'905 but I could have done a little better if I hadn't made a mistake coming out of the last chicane and lost control of the rear end...pffff...
CSA at strong and ABS at weak

Of course i knew you would be faster than me but i hoped for one or two more days in front of my never-to-reach-reference-guy. :cheers:

@ScottPuss20 you are next, i expect you to beat my time in no time.

Thanks, i do, i seem to be "ok" on controller but lack precision and consistency. So it's hard to improve. Bit more sleep and focus could help too. ;)

Nice lap Jérôme!

You can def win some speed by shortshifting the thing , i personally aim for half the bar, but by the looks of it you can even shift shorter than that ( just watched Tidgney's his lap ) , makes it even a bit less nerveous ....a bit.... a tiny bit 🤣🙏🙏
