Bragging time - guys :-)

[BrunoBæ]

Hey Guys - I hope you allow me to brag 1(one) single time here.
I dont know what happened but after a lot of frustrating LB laps on Lakeview Hillclimb I suddenly managed to set a genuine warpspeed lap.

Prehistory: A guy did lately steal the #1 position on the P20 LBs.
A position I had just considered was my personal property.
And the worst was that he was ½ a sec faster than me.
Meh meh.

OK up on the horse again.
And after using a bit wizardry messing with my custom setup + swallowed a good strong cuppa coffee I suddenly managed to go warp speed.

CatsAreTheWorstDogs: Be aware I dont use the bad excuse for bragging that you can learn a lot by watching this lap.
Because you cant.
We are in pure alien country here

If you can accept the bragging above then check it out here:

Meh, I could go much faster than that. I just can't be bothered.

Just kidding mate, great time, well done!

Take me to your leader... Stunning drive, just amazing!

Good Lord.
Haven't seen you for ages, mate.
How the hell are ya?

Big Deal! That's just a recording of my usual 10 minute lap sped up by a factor of 5. And I'm even faster downhill!

hehe I have to admit that the reason I posted this was because I could feel while I was driving that this would be my dream lap - if I could avoid crashing in the end.
But also if I could avoid going into a more safe mode in the last part of the track - where I could see on the green delta figures that I was at warp speed

But also if I could avoid going into a more safe mode in the last part of the track...

Haha yeah, that's always my problem! I blast along and see my pretty green delta, and then end up going so careful trying to "protect" it in the last sector that I lose all the time I'd gained. I often turn the delta off completely so I have no excuse for going careful.

You are allowed to be a bit blasé now when I does announce that there exist warp speed - but also UBER-warpspeed.
Because the guy I have refered to ealier who did steal my #1 pos on the Lakeview Hillclimb LB - did it again.
He did fight back and was able to fly a lap about 0.6 sec faster than old BrunoB.
When I saw this I yelled fu******
And the rest of my day was spoiled.
But then my internal Senna demon wispered - if he can do it then how about you?

And then believe it or not - BrunoB opened to a parallel universe and managed to run(rather fly) a lap 1.5 sec faster (one and a half sec faster!) than my lap before.

If anyone is able to undercut this incredible time I will send him money (via Paypal) to a beer on his local pub - when this corona **** is over of course.

CatsAreTheWorstDogs: Does anybody know how I can transfer the replay of this lap in a better quality to Youtube than my lousy Bandycam recording above? Be aware that I have an old meh meh puter(Xeon x5670) with a GTX 1060.

Congrats and good job sticking with it! I enjoy mastering car/track combos, too. I spent months battling on the ladders at RaceRoom Raceway with the BMW M3 GT2. It's such a feeling when you're throwing your car around the track driving right on the edge. Nothing quite like it. Lots of fun!

 

[BrunoBæ]

Thanks @Shovas - yeah its a great feeling when everything just clicks.
Its just a pity that the replay looks soooo much better than the Youtube upload

 

[Shovas]

Replay looked pretty good I thought?

 

[BrunoBæ]

What what!
You must be kidding.
Or hopefully its because it looks better for you than me.

I have recorded it (Bandycam) in 720-60fps and didnt use any post compressing edit but uploaded directly to Youtube.
When I watch it it looks absolutely poo the first 10 sec but then Youtube make some adjustments so the rest looks reasonable(somewhat) but its easy to see that it is just an upscaled 720 recording.

But when I compare the quality to most normal 1080 youtube videos it just stinks.
