Finally your video showed up on my screen just on its own (after having to actively find them for 2 weeks). I'm sitting on a high 4:21 now, let's see if I can get under 4:20 (I think possible but may take some careful observation of my own driving to pick out my shortcomings in the driving line). Separately, I still don't get why this car needs a short shift to bring out the best performance, any simple answers......?
I'm glad my video finds you naturally rather than having to work for it ! Shifting around 6500 rpm makes the best use of the torque / power band of the car. If you look at the detailed settings from the car settings menu and look at the curve you see how the power drops off dramatically after 6500 rpm so revving it out is a waste. Plus the torque curve is quite flat so you can get away with shifting earlier to take advantage of this. You don't want to bog down though so you cant just blindly upshift through every turn, you need to make sure you are carrying enough speed for that gear. Good luck with it mate !
@@PM10Racing *Deep breathe* I just got into a mid-4:20 after trying some tricks and then practising. Firstly, I switched the TCS from 1 to 0. The car feels quite different on acceleration and it understeers quite a lot than when it was 1 (even though the TCS was not shown to be kicking in at 1). It took 150km to get used to, and then as I said, it's a matter of getting the driving line right in my case - or at least it's comparatively pointless for me to practice short shifting without first getting my line right, and this was a lot of work. Often times when I watch all these guides of you people, I forgot you are doing it in MT on a higher gear for a number of corners and forgetting this at Le Mans can be particularly punishing as it would understeer give me a bad line for many of the S corners, which affects the exit speed and overall lap time. After getting the throttle and line right, I finally got to where I am with still be a bit of blemishes to iron out. A sub-4:20 is certainly possible, even on AT, but it will take a lot of practice......
@@PM10Racing I eventually got a low 4:19 (and 4:18 is in theory within touching based on the ideal sector time). I think this is the first time for me to get within top 2% provisionally, with MT. Also I have a run of the Nurburgring North CE with MT and for the first time, I managed a gold time. It's still 3 secs from my best time which I set on AT, but it's certainly not a level I can imagine accomplishing just a year ago... Anyway, thanks a lot for pushing me to do MT all these months!
@@stormmeansnowork well done mate that’s excellent progress, I’m so happy for you !! Honestly, once you fully get comfortable with MT you will never want to go back. It’s like going from controller to a wheel. I could never go back to a controller now. Keep it up mate, great work 👍🏼
nice job, this is very helpfull. i realize i was switchin gear too late, only anticipating the switch i drop 2 sec😂😅
Nice one mate. Makes all the difference maximising the power / torque band of the engine especially as there are lots a straights on this track.
Great job 🔥 🔥 🔥
Cheers mate, good luck with it !
I am at '20 but seeing you driving the first turns through Dunlop i feel certain to reach a low '19...
Thx for your work!✌️🏁🥳😉
No worries mate, my pleasure. Good luck with it 👍🏼
Great work im about 1 sec behind you 👍 😄
Cheers buddy. Good luck with it, definitely plenty of time on the table !

I just tried to punish myself with MT, and got into a very low 4:20 despite making some mistakes. 4:19 is in touching distance...
