    Are you really worried about the 7 views?

    Aaaaaaaand...

    "if you have the time to do a hot lap video that trumps mine for speed then feel free to chuck it in the thread"

    Dude I'm joking :laugh: :laugh: I couldn't care less
    Now if you wanna get technical his lap was a couple of hundredths slower than mine... ;) Now I feel like laughs are a must to establish the sarcasm in this post :laugh:

    I didnt want to break anyone's spirit by uploading my best lap. :laugh: But that was during a long run anyway, lighter fuel with the low tyre wear helps.

    Anyway looking ahead at Monaco, I've done a 1.20flat with a potential of 1.19.4.....Is it a good time or have I gotta keep pushing for that potential lap time??

    It's tight tricky and near impossible to pass.....It's Monaco!!!!

    Only real passing spot is the chicane after the tunnel, even T1 is very tight to make a pass.
    Tricky turns to watch out for are T1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 e.t.c......

    So here is my fastest lap in race trim, 2.03.7, if that makes a difference. I got no idea how fast you all are around spa but here is my lap. I managed to better it in a free practice runa 2.02.9 but failed to record it
    Any tips would be good.

    Smaller wheel movements mid corner will help, try and take corner in one motion. (ie look past the corner) should see u to a 2.01

    My main tip would actually be to not try as hard through the corners. You're braking too late through a lot of them and in turn are having to wench the wheel a bit too much to make the corner. This is causing understeer, which is in turn scrubbing off a lot of mid-corner and exit speed. Brake a bit earlier and you'll find you can take a much smoother line through the corners, you'll carry more speed and get a much better exit. And like Poppin said, smaller and another hand movements on the wheel will do wonders, and that ties in to what I was just saying, including those corners where you don't even use the brake. Sacrifice that corner entry speed and try to get the best exit possible, this is crucial especially around high speed circuits like Spa.
