Not bad for a start. Lots of room to improve.

Hi all
I just noted this. I like this idea, I know I will not be close to the best time. however if I can get within 5- 7 seconds of the fastest time this week I will be happy.
Thanks for organizing.
Best wishes
Bob

first attempt, maybe too cold tyres compared to the leadership conditions

Default setup with these changes: rear wing 2, final gear 4.00 and 4th and 5th gears -1 click

 

[Butthurt_Saddle_sore]

No changes to the setup. Just getting a few laps in before work.

Now I have to tear the wheel stand down and put it away.

Something I have to remember, is to release the clutch before applying any throttle. If I'm already on the gas as I release the clutch, the transmission slips. This doesn't happen in another game that I play, so I have to unlearn that bad habit.

On top of that, aiming to be smooth rather than deliberate helped a ton. So much more places where I can improve, but plenty of time to do it... As long as I take advantage of that time.

When I saw that you posted a time, I had a premonition that it would be a 2:14

 

[cnuke]

I might squeeze another second or two in there if I try hard enough but that time probably will not look as nice...

 

[FeltHat]

nice looking time is way better, than pure pace- i especially value .666

Well, my previous PB was 2.15:552 in the leaderboard last year so I had a low 2.15 laptime as target but I was surprised to see I was under the 2.15 barrier in only few laps. There were maybe some improvements to the car since october 2020?

Not sure about the car specifically, but there have been general improvements to the sim including a recent new tyre model which the Procar now uses.
