I want to say in but I need to see if I have the time this week to learn the track, 0 hours on this circuit unfortunately. Argh

Not relevant your excuse to have 0 Laps on this track.
I have more than 100 and still can't master Laguna Seca.
Really a challenge for me, don't know why.

That doesn’t bode well for me then lol

If I can’t get the time to get on this week I wouldn’t want to just arrive at the starting grid hoping for the best

Hopefully I’ll get some time at the weekend

I had 0 laps on it in ACC, just a few on older games (not sure I ever went through it without a controller )
Did a couple of laps and it's quite fun. If you hit the right line, it feels flowy, but it's tricky to get perfect.

I'm back on the Porsche for this one.
Chris, count me in!

Yea it’s just one of those weeks where I might not get the time, in comparison to last week where I was at least a few hours per day lol

Hoping to get on though as I don’t want to miss out

 

[akephoe]

see you on the weekend on the server

 

[mklengel]

Hi Swanny, please add me to the field. Regards, Michael

 

[SwannyUK]

I'll be in as a "hopeful" lol

 

[RicardoJorge92]

I just did 90 minutes practice dialing the setup.

A couple of notes for people who don't know the track.

• Make sure you have a breaking point for the pit exit. If you miss it, you will take people out on the T2 hairpin.
• It's tempting to hug the inside green line going down on T1. Be careful with people coming out of the pits.

Anyone has any tips for T5 going into the first up hill? I seem to either be too early or too late on turn in.

Anyone joining later?

I think breaking from just before the 2 board and getting in the power just at the solid white part apexing slightly later in the turn.

Or at least my brief run on it earlier I found it works, although my setup may affect this.

I by far don’t know this circuit so my thinking might not be accurate
