I didn’t ask for an exact time lol, but ok never mind
How far below and an exact time is pretty much the same. At least it’s safe to say you should aim for below 1 minute.
Ideally not more than one minute below though. Much obliged for leaving the space-time continuum intact.

To be fair when Strop and me found out about each other’s times we literally ruined our free time trying to one up each other so yeah, the lesser we know the better xD
Ballpark estimates are okay. What I really want to know here is if my hunch that flagrantly ruining the car smashing into the kerbs is actually faster than driving clean is right…

am doing it now… jumping the kurbs are… slow
but if you could somehow clip enough it without wheelspinning and jumping well good luck to that
Well, I’m 1.8 seconds faster going smooth compared to shifting aggressively and diving the car over the kerbs, but I’ll try both approaches again tonight.
Let’s just say I started cutting corners like a madman and managed to shave off about 2s. Will also revert and see if there’s a difference.
I’ll try with the cutting corners, but while on a street circuit I can accept using the side walks where possible, actual track limits should be respected. I had one or two laps where they time didn’t register before I tried the smooth route.
just how fucking barbaric did you go? even my wildest lines didn’t do that… and i’m on a keyboard…
btw, am i allowed to fiddle around with tire pressures?
it freaking helps
IIRC, by not having both wheels on the tarmac. It does register the time in the overview, but doesn’t recognize it as fastest time of the session. I refer to Strop’s fastest lap in round 1 (although his second fastest, which did register, was still crazily impressive fast).
Actually boost doesn’t care as long as the time registers i.e. you hit all the checkpoints.
So with that said, I’m using Fujiwara style gutter run on these abnormally tall kerbs. Except sometimes I’m not even remotely on the road, I’m using the gutter run with the outside wheel 
And no, don’t touch the pressures. I don’t think Boost allowed it unless @BoostandEthanol says otherwise… Coz it sure does help!

I trust you and the circuits haven’t been problematic yet, but that potentially does leave open loop holes in terms of corner cutting and chicane jumping.
Well put it this way if there are any courses where the checkpoints are that rubbish, I’ll be sure to point it out just like I have been (and also recording all replays).
For this round if my lines are the best ones the replay is going to be pretty hilarious…

well then… with the pressure changes, i managed just under 57s… i guess that’s out the window now tho

Put the car here:
Track: Automation Test Track - 
Make sure you have realistic ABS and realistic transmission selected.
No rules on start, can be a rolling lap or flying lap.
Remember: PM me your times. Screenshots and replays, while aren’t required, will help you a lot in proving your time if it is a good one.
Talk about your times or whatever, I don’t care

I agree boost let’s not worry about the scoring.
I’ll post a replay of my stupid lap shortly. It’s really stupid. If you stay on track you’ll be nearly a second slower.
Now this happens to be my own car so if anybody beats me at it I’m going to be rather embarrassed 
It’s also worth noting this is a track where cutting will not significantly benefit you, so here’s your chance!
EDIT: So I, uh, have a really embarrassing confession to make. When getting the replay ready to upload I read the brief again and it turns out I was doing the wrong race this whole time. There’s an extra bend in the race that boost set.
For what it’s worth, I gave the actual race a go and the time was 54.098. I also discovered that replay timing and the clock isn’t all that accurate and if there’s drop in framerate or whatever the replay can give you the wrong time.
Here’s the replay in full.
So @BoostandEthanol my time is null and void. If you wanna update with the new value please feel free to do so, or if you want to take it off altogether that’s fine too.

sorry to double post, but this is now about the next round.
Well, if anybody gets a standing start lap time of under 2:21 and a flying lap time of under 2:19 lmk and I’ll consider tightening the drawstrings a bit
