Hi! I just want to share my achievement with someone but I don't have simracing friends :D

After 4 months into my first time serious simracing game, LMU, I finally did a competitive laptime based on datas in OHNE Speed spreadsheet. Before this I was on-and-off racing in GT7 for around two years and plateaued at B/S driver/safety rank.

In the first picture: all the tracks that I can drive, but top 4 tracks are the only tracks that I will without doubt play and repeatedly play whenever it comes into online rotation (except that Silverstone International where this week is the first time ever on online rotation). And the last two tracks (Le mans and COTA) are something that I tried but never further practiced, and never really raced in it.

Second picture: is race pace only, from daily races that I played since I started recording my laps in comparison to the top leaderboard because I noticed that it could be way off than OHNE's spreadsheet. Probably because OHNE is an average time(?) not sure how they collect their data. (Top driver could've changed.)

What's your thought on Silverstone International? I find it fun (probably bias because I got good in it :D), but even from the first day playing it, I find it fun in the high speed corners, especially T1-T3 but hate the last few corners. And it's hard to overtake! I can only confidently overtake people into T3 by braking later after carrying better speed from T1. People seems to able to easily correct their line and give space when I "divebomb" into T3. But I'm bad at overtaking at the last chicane; hard to judge the space. Tried a few times and we touched and both spun. I did once overtook someone while going out from the last chicane, took inside line, but damn it felt crazy risky.

Anyway yeah I love this game, love the online racing and especially being in a lobby with fast people. Almost all of my PBs were achieved in lobbies with fast people. It's like their aura, or extra motivation or something :D

Most of the setups, paid or fixed, that I use, they usually set with fuel ratio in the range of 0.80-0.90.

But after doing some laps in the cars, my MFD/tiny pedal calculator usually will give me fuel ratio of 0.70-0.75.

From what I understand, this fuel ratio number depends on our driving style; the timing of our gearshift, how much we use engine braking, drag, tyre, throttle input and more like car’s weight BOP and all.

I mainly drive Ford. But if I'm not mistaken I noticed this in most cars that I drive. My fuel ratio will be much lower than what the setup had. IIRC I tried driving the BMW in Silverstone National couple of weeks ago and my fuel ratio was 0.66

So, is ~0.70 fuel ratio normal? Or is my driving habit/style is very wrong? What should I change if it's bad?

Finally I did my first sub-101% range in laptime - just want to share my achievement.
