Strange watching this. You seem smoother, more consistent, hitting your marks... yet, I somehow managed 0.3 sec a lap on you in this race. I'd love to compare telemetry. Kind of a journey for you too.. 5th, 6th, 7th, 6th, 5th.

I do have Garage61 running when I drive. This is the telemetry for that race, if you have it too I think you can directly compare the telemetry. garage61.net/app/event/01HYFDCH10FJZ4BGFED7SF8GQX I know my rhythm for the downhill section through the double right hander got off pretty badly after the first few laps. The hairpin following that section is also probably my weakest part of the track I'm very slow through that corner. Not a very strong track for me, I'm going to blame N24 for not having as much practice time before hand and making me tired. It may or not be true but that's what I'm running with :). Also very true with the journey. I was pretty much resigned to get 7th or 8th, I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. :)

@@piltdownfilms Looks like you're grabbing 1st through the hairpin? At least I think I saw that. 2nd works. The track is a little like Fuji... wait.. wait.. wait.. gas! I use VRS... And yeah, you get to be tired!

Well I(Ali) suck, haha. Love the track though. Good race(not for me obvs!)

[@piltdownfilms]

It's a tough track, that corner has weird banking. It's pretty easy to spin there.

@@piltdownfilms Track is slippery - cold tires.. my first couple laps keep looking like I'm drunk and fighting with my wife in the car. Missed having the chance to see if I could put some pressure on you. Next time!

[@BeanPole476]

Probably a mixture of things, the track, cold tyres, I also nearly outbraked myself which means the car was probably rotating slightly(which I have trouble picking up at times), add the eagerness to get on the throttle, and round it went. I generally dont get to full throttle quickly enough with this car.
