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!

Yeah it would not be easy to learn the car again so quickly with only 2 days left. And great job on your daily A time I say you are on top since Sirvia never saves his runs.

Whoop whoop 🥳

@Metalgear9493 @Partymix007 Back in 1, 2, 3 for the moment. 💪😁

Was about to srew another .50x through the final sector because i lost all advantage over my ghost at balls corner, but the hairpin safed that run. 🤪😂

Not sure if you are still trying this or not but would like to see you get back in the top 3 or even better I just got back to P2.

I try but the chances are very small, a great sector 3 just comes not often enough and when it comes than only when the S2 split was to slow anyway. 😂
Did a .100 yesterday with a .593 S2, later i set a new personal best at S2 with a .465 just to see my ghost flying away after the sweeper. 🤬😂

Wow I understand that so much that happened to me as well so often I would get anywhere from a 480 to a 510 then just flop on sector 3 but when I would get 580 or above I would get sector 3 to like 10 to 20 mil secs of my best sector 3. And a 465 sector 2 is insane I don't believe I've got that quick once but yeah I feel your pain there. I just hope some luck comes your way in the last couple of days.
 
Put some miles in at Monza in the Porsche.

I really like this time but not sure if it'll hold....🧐

Also put some extra miles on the Honda GT500 at Lago Maggiore... was still stuck at bronze with a 1:44 after a first go :lol:
For now I am closing in to gold and optimals are showing it is possible.

Need to put the time and effort in. I like these Gr.2 cars, but don't drive them often enough to actually be fast...
Also Lago Maggiore... First corner of S2 is just awful... I just can not brake consistently at the same place, or just run wide while braking... Starting to get the hang of the esses at S2. Last corner of the lap also not consistent enough...

Still have to start at Suzuka. Don't now, maybe I'll skip if the next one suits me better...

Yes, indeed. Imagine what He could reach with a better car! I spent some time with the lambo and went at the edge of gold. Then I gained 3 tenths in the very first lap with the '20 AMG...

I find Suzuka very tough, I am a touch wild and Suzuka calls for smooth inputs. The Lambo felt fast, i had it down to the edge of gold but as I pushed harder I kept binning it. Hence i settled on the Beetle to get a safe gold as you can really abuse it.

Really? :odd:

Could be a preference thing. I did try a few different ones (RC F, BRZ, R8 LMS Evo, Beetle & 911) and Huracán was what felt best to me. RC F clearly is very quick given the times people have put down but I couldn’t really extract that speed and it was particularly annoying in the hairpin where it transforms into a yacht and barely steers anymore. Anyway, maybe I should give the AMG ’20 a spin.

Hahaha... I have only chosen the Lambo because I saw you using it. 😄 I want to like it but obviously it is not best for me... Thanks for sharing! 👍
