Yes, but you're on the wrong circuit, people started doing the club one and it's not really fair to delete them once they've started. I've updated the website so it clearly says club now.
Just seen it 
I thought it was the GP one. I did a couple of laps on that one, felt it was better on a longer circuit but hey... :sad:

The GP one was the intention, but I didn't make it clear and people have done over 80 laps already on Club, so I think it's fairest if we just stick with it.I thought it was the GP one. I did a couple of laps on that one, felt it was better on a longer circuit but hey... :sad:

No worries, it'd just be nice for comparing with the other laps 
I think I still have my old laptop around somewhere, I'll have a look.
No idea if it will work though, I think the keyboard was fubar!
It might be worth a punt, if the laptop sparks up and survives the 12 hours of windows updates it'll have to do then there is an onscreen keyboard that you could use. It is kind of worth it because then you can compare telemetry and driving lines.I think I still have my old laptop around somewhere, I'll have a look.

Yeah I figured that out when I was 30 seconds slower than everyone else 
I must admit I do find it tricky to pick the correct track when a track has variations, I assume the UDP stream doesn't differentiate?
Yes, it's awkward, the UDP stream says the circuit is "Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya", and doesn't differentiate between the variations. So that's what I pass to PCLapUpdater to at least check you're in the right place. There were a few occasions where people would leave PCLapUpdater running, they'd finish the challenge and go and race somewhere else and it would keep on sending those laps and screw everything up, so at least we can stop that with this check.I must admit I do find it tricky to pick the correct track when a track has variations, I assume the UDP stream doesn't differentiate?
The website always shows the full track info, ie in this case "Circuit de Barcelona - Catalunya Club"

I'm there abouts but it really frustrates me I seem miles behind on the last sector but I can't tell why - looking at the telemetry shows nothing!!!
Not trying to teach folkd to suck eggs but here's my take on the telemtry between our two laps.Looking at just the driving line, your going taking too shallow an entry which means your wide on a number of corner apex and loose corner speed.
Now looking at the speed graph this confirms the above, first corner your to fast and to shallow into the corner and I get a far better exit. You do reach a higher top speed which is probably due to you had more space (from going wide) to accelerate and/or you braked later, but again your fast into the corner loosing corner speed. The next section is all about keeping up the corner speed but it looks like your braking too aggressively to late which means you don't carry the speed at each corner.
Have a look at the other graphs and have a think about where what and how they are different. Start with the costing graph as i think that is quite telling, then look at the brake and throttle and lastly the steering.
In summary what the graphs say to me is that, while i'm not the smoothest driver, I have been a fair bit smoother on key parts of the track. Not just steering input but brake and throttle, I've braked less aggressivley but for a bit longer and blended the throttle in/out a little better. Rather than fully releasing and stomping on the other.
I hope that kind of makes sense?
