Nice time. Not surprised that you were able to beat my time, only that it took you so long to do it.

I've found that I can only take Tertre Rouge flat in the Nismo when I have messed up the turn before a little bit and am slower on entry. Exit velocity of around 325kph can be obtained if you do get it right, otherwise your exit is around 302-305kph. The Nismo will still only reach about 414kph at the brake point of Mulsanne 1, but you will reach the brake point a bit sooner do to greater average speed on the straight. Completing the first sector in the low 51's will get you into the 2:34 range.

As you are in A or B most weeks in WTTT, you are fast, even if you advocate cutting corners "for fun." The thing is you are fast and can adjust. Others get used to the bad habits and their performance when it counts for Gold suffers as a result.
