First attempt in a couple of weeks so had 2 TTs to do today. Dislocated a finger a week or so ago playing in my first football match of the season, and it's so painful to use a controller right now but managed to fight through for this attempt, my braking is absolutely terrible though atm because of it as I can barely move my left ring finger which is strapped to the middle one.

If I'm on your leaderboards that will explain my times for the next few weeks! Please don't judge me haha.

Will be playing this sporadically if at all until maybe the end of September and then get back at it properly... Fingers crossed, pun intended!

Ehh, not a particularly nice TT. Last night I did 2’02.260 which was 0,81% and 45th which I normally would’ve been pretty happy with and probably settled for but on that lap I really screwed up Dunlop, braking too late. The rest of lap wasn’t bad but what really did that lap was fortune being on my side for the chicane. Never really got a succesful lotto passage like that again.

Anyway, it kinda sucks when a lap with obvious mistakes ends up being your PB, you don’t really want that. I also felt that I had pretty good pace here, bit quicker than usual. Something you wanna take advantage of, even if the combo isn’t to your liking. I was conflicted!

I think the main issue here (apart from the chicane always being ****) were the RM tyres, they offer way too much grip for this car, this chassis can’t handle this kind of grip. Makes it feel unnatural and incredibly bumpy. Trying to land the car in the chicane was borderline farcical. Off the showroom I think it comes with SH, if I’m not wrong? I doubt it’d be this tedious on sports.

0’37.648 / 1’05.420 / 1’30.725 / 2’02.260
0’37.642 / 1’05.275 / 1’30.564 / 2’02.739 (died in the chicane)
0’37.638 / 1’05.181 / 1’30.489 / 2’02.266 (absolute **** ending)
0’37.531 / 1’05.108 / 1’30.352 / 2’02.040
