GTP_WRS (GT5) Week 67 : Monaco GP Support Race

Carlos Fandango · May 22, 2012

Out of time now. Going to submit what I've got and we'll see what happens. Probably a tenth left on the track (for me) but I'd need the rest of the week to find it! Lost a 0.04 in T1 to my best and 0.06 in T3, but a PB in T2. Good luck everyone...

27.718
45.676

WRP001 · May 22, 2012

First go at this one:

27.696
45.706

Wish I could change the ratio on my steering wheel because the hairpin is very clumsy having to turn the wheel so much.

PS> Would love to drive the black #33 if anyone wants to trade for something... All I have is the mustard yellow #9.

jjurasic · May 22, 2012

I guess it's lucky one of the most common, Blue #55, happens to be my favorite color and number, will post some splits when I have a chance.

I'll send you a black #33 Tim... give me an hour or so and it'll be there.

Good luck to you Jon... big change mate. All the best. :cheers:

Chris, maybe it's time for one of your legendary first sector (visual) tutorials... it's been a while, I miss them!

Yeah it has... I don't always feel I have a good enough handle on it to be instructing as it were. No idea how to get close to Wes' 27.2s or .1s but I can post up a .4xx if that's any use...?

Welcome back Jon. Hope the move goes smoothly.

I can dig up one if something happens that you can't, Chris.

Also, I always appreciate your vids, no matter the split.

Thanks Dan - I'll post a vid up later. 👍 Sent Tim a black #33 now anyway....

Tim - sent you a black #33 mate

ASH32 · May 22, 2012

Earlier I found how to take T2 a couple of tenths faster than I was doing before but I've no new splits yet because I kept on messing up T3. :ouch:

Thanks Chris. 👍 Now I can get my butt kicked using my favorite number. :lol:

Kevin... I like the custom rules for the chicane. The line through there is slower of course, but the same for all and it keeps the flavor if that chicane. 👍 how fun would it be if we could strategically place cones like PD did in GTA.

Edit: Question, does anyone know if this the proper list of car liveries available? (excluding the Lutecia which is not allowed)... I need a correct list for the online race docs:

Renault Sport Clio Renault Sport Trophy Race Car ‘00

#3 - Silver
#5 - Red
#9 - Dark Yellow
#22 - Yellow
#33 - Black
#55 - Blue
#66 - White
#99 - Pink

NINE_HUNDRED · May 22, 2012

That looks correct, Tim. Same as my check list I use.

Thank you good sir. :cheers:

Gravitron · May 22, 2012

I guess that answers Al's and Lin's question about whether we're racing here next week.

I ran some laps last night, but couldn't get this go-kart to go through T1 at a decent speed. Looking forward to Chris's video. :embarrassed:

I think Kevin already gave that away in the OP...

Steward's Comments:
One of my favorite cars in one of my favorite combos in the history of GT. This combo is immensely enjoyable, as a TT or a live race. I've enjoyed some great LAN battles here on GT4, in this car and others.

Either that or Kevin's not so subtle way of telling us before he shipped out for the week that we better not consider an alternate or face :mad:

Tim, even though you already have your answer, I'll let you and others know that for this kind of information you can always refer to (GTP_)Duck's excellent and famous car catalogue. (See links at bottom of first post.)

Vagabond · May 22, 2012

OK, 1st sector video... Looks to me like if I tidy up Massanet (long left at the top of the hill and keep further left before turning in to Casino, I could get on the throttle earlier and carry more speed down the hill. That would be good for another 0.1 at least I think. Anyway...

AspecBob · May 22, 2012

Thanks a lot, Chris, awesome 👍

Keep in mind you're doing this for the benefit of people who aren't nearly as good as you are, so even if you don't consider it perfect there's still plenty for us to learn from it!

What Daniel said! 👍

Lou8ball · May 22, 2012

First splits:

T1 27.575
T2 46.206

Not my best t2, but hit sectors 1 and 3 quite well. Using edk's tune.

In the pink 99 car with gold rims, lol!

LinPark · May 22, 2012

THANKS Chris! When will the second sector video be up? :lol:

Windy_1238 · May 22, 2012

Smidge better.

Vagabond · May 23, 2012

Glad its of some help guys 👍 2nd sector coming in about.... 5 or 6 days. :sly:

Managed to tie a better 1st sector to a fast 2nd sector (by my standards anyway) and then totally blew the swimming pool section after looking at the split timer... still haven't learned to stop doing that yet.

Faster lap anyway.

27.448
45.116

Cats_PJs · May 23, 2012

Been getting mid 5's in t1 and I can see a little more in both sectors. Probably won't try again till the weekend.

27.734
45.519

Koikeeper67 · May 23, 2012

First shot at this one love this combo fun little car on any track but suits this track to a T

bone stock no tune
28.723
48.363

Matty · May 23, 2012

Can't view the video, but I think my line is similar from what I heard.

I go up the hill and take the turn as if it was a double apex. (ie. start tight to the left wall, understeer towards the right until tyres grip again, and come back in near the end of the corner so I can be as close to the left before I turn in for casino.)

DaxCobra · May 23, 2012

Curse you, Vagabond!!! :sly:

Damn, can't get on until Friday either, but I shall be back!!! And instead of going faster, just end up hitting walls and getting mad.

ASH32 · May 23, 2012

Some splits from yesterday:-

~~27.497~~
~~45.727~~

I've got into the 45.4's for T2 a number of times now but I either mess up T1 or T3, so there is quite a bit of time left if I can get it right. :nervous:

Now replaced with some from today.

27.570
45.462

I've got a good banker lap now but a little more is still possible.

Anghammarad · May 23, 2012

I'm flabbergasted (always wanted to use that word) by my lack of speed with this combo. I am normally able to find at least decent speed in any combo and I really have no preference when it comes to engine placement, tyre type and FWD, RWD or AWD. But I can't even begin to find anything with this combo. I have a seriously hard time going below 28 at T1 and 1'14 at T2.

I´m so glad i´m not the only one having this problem :ill:

I´m always checking if i have the right tires or if i have some engine part missing :dunce:

Love the word flabbergasted :dopey:
