Catalunya Times

Car: Viper
Track: Catalunya
Time: (Best) 1:53.088 / (Consistent) Low 1:53
Clean/Dirty: All Clean

I'm still finding time and speed.

First tune in Mclaren MP4-12c and I was running 1min55s then I changed the brake bias and found 1.5 seconds immediately still a lot of work to do to fine tune the car hopefully I can find a lot more time and be competetive.

Car: Jag
Track: Catalunya
Time: (Best) 1:51.716 / (Consistent) Low 1:52's
Clean/Dirty: All Clean

The XCR guys are all running around the same with Crisis edging it at 1:51.3xx

Still work to do.

Nice times in the Jag XCR, looks like your getting to grips with it! You may already do this, but try keeping it in 3rd gear through the final section (last chicane and two right handers before it), it drops low in the revs but you can carry more corner speed and the Jag pulls well from low revs

Car: Viper
Track: Catalunya
Time: (Best) 1:52.491 / (Consistent) 1:53.2
Clean/Dirty: All Clean

WOOO! Finally broke the 1:52 barrier!

Cheers Magic will give that a go. Appreciate the tip.

Getting there after a few changes. Aiming for low 50s in qualifying and consistent mid 50s in the race.

Set up the wheel and going to continue it this time, had 5 laps last night with TCS off (bad mistake) got a clean 1.59 tonight I will put TCS on and see how I will do at a longer test session

That is something I have been doing in the endurance series too, it slows you down a few seconds doesn't it? took me about an hour of tinkering to find the right settings for the car to semi stay on the track. but I am slowly getting there!

Last night I think I could have been trying out for a drift championship lol

Managed to get into the 52's with my bmw z4 with tcs on and using the tip of staying in 3rd for last sector and also using th track guide

i had a few laps today, no TCS and no lines in the SLS, and managed to go quicker after only a few laps becuase of the track guide, and this is one of my stronger tracks too

3rd in the last sector?? I always drop to 2nd, must wacth the track guide, tried loading it this morning but saw it was 14 mins long and I only had about 5 mins as I had to de snow the car so left it

I tried it and it felt alot better and smoother also meant i wasnt changing gear mid corner on last bend so i could keep the wheels from spinning too

It will depend on your exact gearing for your car, but what you're aiming for is to take the entire last section (right hander over the brow of the hill, left/right chicane and entering the final corner) all in the same gear. I prefer to adjust my gears so I can do all of that in 3rd gear

Did a few lobby practices tonight and did a 1.49.7 clean in the Lambo.

Have you met TPR Box? Lol

Didn't Box have pole with a 47 or 48 something

No, TPR Box and CQR D4N13L both ran identical times, 1.49.868 in qualifying last season.

Was that superpole or thier time to get them into lobby A?

That was the first part of qualifying (Q1), I may still have the Super pole replay to check those times I'll have a look next time I'm on

Unfortunately I don't have the superpole replay from last season

Here's a quick video of the final section, this was a clean run in 3rd gear:

^^^ Nice! need to work on that! gear won't allow it at the moment!
