I think it’s the HDR to SDR conversion that’s causing the pale color. Have you tried setting your PS5 to SDR, recording the lap, then uploading?

I changed the output to MP4 and then also the output to MP4 in share factory, it was all webM. Only let's me 1080P export in this case, but I think that was already the case as I am in 120fps mode ?

Does look better now, but if I would change the HDR settings before capture, that means I have to do that everytime?

That capture looks pretty good! With HDR, you would have to change the HDR settings before every capture unfortunately… I’ll experiment a bit more with MP4 and see what mine look like.

Not too bad all round, did everything correct but just a little harsh on the steering at times, very disappointing corner before split 2, the right hander that can be random at times with how the car pulls up, lost most of the time there.

Can someone please help me with what I'm supposed to put in these 2 fields? It's a bit vague. Thanks in advanceView attachment 1483742
And finally, my new set-up! Way better table and an improved chair.

Nice setup mate, at least you can have some refreshments while you're hot lapping! 🔥 🔥
Very well organized improvement on your part.
 
I held off doing the Nurburgring TT for fear of that chicane. Finally plucked up the courage today and turns out my fear was ill founded. Getting that brick of a car through there is...

I was so determined for this to finally be the week I learn Mt Panorama. It’s just so difficult to put THE lap together at any skill level/time goal but then to also learn to do the sectors correctly is a challenge. The car itself feels GREAT. This is all my own shortcomings to understand the optimal line and braking.

My optimal is still only a 15.107. I think I’d need a top 200 time to feel like I actually learned the track comfortably and that’s still another tenth away from my optimal.

Sector times are attached. Open to all advice! My third sector was my personal best here after finally getting some idea of how to brake for the hairpin but still very far. All other sectors are about a tenth down from my best.

Technically your 47 then 🤣 Well done 😁
What an idiot, and why would you even want to be 7 times on the board??
If you have a wheellap a pad lap and a vr lap I get that, living on the edge imo but that's a solid reason.

im sure we can't do anything about this, I would be pissed as ..... if I were you though 🤣🤣

I am usually gold and done. Mount Panorama could be different though.

A) it is really close and I would like to sit a little more safely

B) look at muh optimals 😭

C) I really like the combo and for the first time feel like I get the hang of t3/t4 (the slow left hander) and Forest's elbow. Thanks to the awesome guides by Tigney, Mistah MCA and now even the pad goat Calster.

That's still pretty good considering you're saying you haven't learnt the track properly. I normally find it takes time to get up to speed at Bathurst, I usually have to build up to it.
If you share the replay here I'm sure someone can give some advice plus you could use those guides sent by @Wilsonson
Alternatively if you want to focus on a specific area you could do that sector in circuit experience, albeit in a faster car

I like this last TT: MountP is a beast, a Gr4 car milk it a bit for the less skilled of us, even though the walls are still the walls!

I'm quite close to gold but the very last step will be challenging

I first was under the impression that a better exit from the Forrest would had make the deal, but i was not the case.
The car is top speed limited so at the end of the day what you gain from a better exit you don't carry through the whole straight, but only through the piece of it used to reach that max speed.

I can for sure do better than what I do there, but probably the quest for the gold has also to do with esses and dipper, where Tidge ghost flies away. I the remaining of the lap I'm reasonagly in Tidge sight.
General confidence is also another point, but only probably to red less laps.

Anyway, good TT for me, I like the combo.
 
After doing a 2:20,572 with the Elantra yesterday (with a "slow" S1 and a understeery final corner), i said to myself "a .4 and i'll be happy"...

...am i happy now? Hell Noo 🤬😂😂

The whole lap was really good except for one corner, but this one corner was so bad that i can't be happy with this. 🥲🤪
