I am clearly doing something wrong, as I can’t get within ten seconds of that time.
More practice needed, obviously.
„I believe in socialism because it seems more humanitarian, rather than every man for himself and 'I'm alright jack' and all those arsehole businessmen with all the loot. I made up my mind from viewing society from that angle. That's where I'm from and there's where I've made my decisions from. That's why I believe in socialism“
„Don't forget you're alive. 'Cause sometimes when you walk around the city and you're in a bad mood, you can think, hey, wait a minute, we're alive! We don't know what the next second will bring and what a fantastic thing this is. This can get easily forgotten in the routine of life, and that's something I'm trying to bring to my attention at all times. Don't forget you're alive. We're not dead, you know. This is the greatest thing.”

Watch Harvey's lap. Other than missing a couple of apexes and not getting on the gas earlier, its pretty much my laps.
Do you follow the suggested gear flashing thing, if it's on? If so you can get away with breaking a lot later than it flashes, if at all and not going down to that gear, especially in auto transmission. I turned my TC and ABS down at least one and that shaved a few hundredths off

Corner exits can have a big effect on straight speed, what do you get when going over the line? Should be 130 ish.
I know I'm meant to be posting the next challenge but my shifts have changed this week due to ofsted so doubt I'll be playing it. I'll leave it up to you lot whether someone wants to pick one or you want to keep going on this one?

I give up
Harvey/Dan/Strummer, fancy picking the next car and track with Andy busy?
Mines me sat on the side of my bed with a controller
Sorry for the late reply
Anyway, let's have an LTLF track day.
Track: Brands Hatch Indy
Conditions: Afternoon
Car: Golf VII GTI
Tyres: sport soft
A gentle pace to start
25 laps?!
It's only a minute lap but yeah, stuck it on and went round for a bit. The fastest was only about lap 5 or 6.
Will have a blast round later and see how I do on this one!
My one and only blast. Hate Brands Hatch, and in a front wheel drive car meant I spent more time understeering then actually going the way I want
Yeah, you've got to sort out weight transfer and keep it balanced.
It's why I picked it, making a slower car go fast is a proper challenge.
I just hate Brands Hatch, it's so typically British.
Shit.
It's why I love it, tight, technical and not all about power
Didn't get the chance to have a shot at it last night, but I am leaving work early today so will be having a good few laps then.
