Yeah, stop giving advice Ed🤣.

We have a new challenger! Getting pretty close at the top, I'm getting worried big time (but not really😅).

As it turns out there should be some worry not from m2 but from C spec he got a sub 0 a 975 I believe you must fight for your crown back. I also tried today still no luck so far.

I only like to compile laps in GT7, never to beat people. So my motivation to take back P1 is pretty low, I will have to re-learn the car as I haven't touched it in well over a week.

1) if I can share a tip in exchange, it’s the hairpin. If you’re just going for gold, exit the hairpin in second. If you’re trying to find time, exiting in 1st is a way to shave 2 tenths or more.

2) And for 130R, if you’re struggling to take it flat, try learning the exact car placement of how much inside curb you need to take to consistently take it flat. Whatever you do, don’t lift!

3) Edit: while I’m here, what are your tips for the lesmos at monza? I’ve managed to never learn lesmo 1 so I always ruin my approach to Lesmo 2.

1) This is a question I have, I see really fast guys always shifting up to exit in tight corners but I just cannot find the time when I do that. I was doing this at the hairpin then went back to exiting in 1st and 1st was clearly faster. I'm a bit confused though suspect it is because I don't carry enough mid corner speed and revs drop too much vs the top guys

2) I took it flat several times and found it SLOWER than a millisecond lift as I was brushing too much speed. Likely a me thing as I tend to apex late.

3) Lesmos I am half decent at. For Lesmo 1 it's all about getting tight up against the apex and exiting early.

For Suzuka, is there a big time difference based on how much inside curb you take at degna 1? I’m not consistent enough at the start of sector 2 to figure this out myself.

1: Usually no, its more about how much you can hold the speed and back on the throttle until the braking point for degna 2. Both corners are better done with slightly earlier/less late braking, its easier to accelerate a car that is stable and carrying more speed than one that is shifting mass forwards and backwards constantly.

2: it depends on the exit line and throttle control, as you say both work, what is hard to see on the top replays is that the power is matched to very much the steering angle, the more angle the slower you press the go pedal, the less of an angle the more you can be on it more aggressively.

3: 100% with 130R I usually start my first few laps panic lifting and working up to the turn in timing

Monza (for me)

*4: Lesmo 1 is about "swooping" patiently through it and making sure I coast to the apex so its a constant power out. Lesmo 2 its always a compromise in how much speed you want in and through vs available exit. Being a long straight its usually better to lift the apex and straight back on it but you have to be consistent on the entry line.

** Also by your profile pic you look like a handsome devil!
