So far .057 short of gold, with about 7 laps run.  I keep loosing a lot of time in the turn just before the chicane.  I can't seem to find the right coast/brake/accelerate combination to maintain a good line for the chicane. The car also seems lethargic in general. Which is odd considering this car is in the weight and power class that I prefer to run at this track.

The weekend should be good. Lots of time to turn laps and get the proper rhythm going.

I watched a few replays, then found myself short on time. I only managed one clean lap and it was in the 40's. One cup has it right, I barely touched the grass on the side of the track and insta red lap.

I too think I will attack this nice and fresh Saturday morning.  :)

I didn't have any trouble with the combination and got Gold on the second lap, but it was only a hair under the limit, so this will take a bit of work.

Took another quick run at this, before TuTu.

Chrome_Tuna - 1:37.701

Barely an improvement, but at least it's something.

I put a few laps in last night but forgot to write my time down, I think it's a 1:36.1xx. This track has always frustrated me with all the long descending apex corners; I have trouble not getting the front end to bite as things tighten up. I'll see if I can find some more time, when I can find them time.

Great laps guys, there are some fast fish here!

Very nice Wizard!

I spent a couple hours last night trying to break into the 35's too.  I have the ability to do it on every corner, but not all together at once (yet).  If I could do a great lap before, and then carry speed through that chicane, I'd be set and hard-pressed to improve much more.

I have high motivation to beat my current time, though of 1:36.129 because I'm tied exactly with one of my friends :D  Can't let that stand!

GTP_DHolland    1:34.586

Then this happened...

TRL_IMMORTAL  1:34.543


Ti-tech, Dan & IMMORTAL will battle it out for #1 in the final round.  Ti-tech has finished #1 in each of the last 4 years.  In my opinion the best GT player in the world.  Can he be beat?  I'm looking forward to finding out.  I wouldn't bet against him.
