nice, btw where can i win this car as i dont have it?

Touge Master · Dec 21, 2004

Sounds a lot better than the Skyline on Monaco challenge...now all I got to do is get the car.

EDIT:Looked it up you get the car at the GT world Champion in the proffesional league.

hellnback · Dec 21, 2004

Yeah I gotta get the car too, it can only be got at...

Professional League - Gran Turismo World Championship

Hope this one doesn't take as long as getting the Nissan R390 GT1 LM Race Car did...

I'm not really a fan of Apricot Hill either... :yuck:

Tedehur · Dec 21, 2004

Apricot Hill... 👍 👍 👍
I hope I'll do as good as I did last time on that track, back in week 84 (or 85) :sly:

That would change from my poor result in week 95.

nitro_2005 · Dec 21, 2004

Hey, I'm there man. Wonder how i did in the last race?

Mr P · Dec 21, 2004

Nice car 👍 .... first few warm up laps and 49.0 as best T3 with $hitloads to come off when my set up can control this big ass a bit more steady on bend 1

Great combo choice Kent 👍

Monty · Dec 21, 2004

Good luck with that cat.
Mine is driven 1200km, takes too long to get a new, and I cant fight for position this week.Will check the leaderboard, though!!! :boggled:

See ya 97.

Touge Master · Dec 21, 2004

T3-50.196
Still dialing in the suspension.
Great combo Kent 👍

NielsG · Dec 21, 2004

Great combo, Kent. 👍 Never driven the XJ220 Racecar before, but it's very fun to drive.

After first session:

11.702
24.520
50.401

Slicks · Dec 21, 2004

Ah, crap. Can this car be bought? I know I don't have it, and I'm not about to do the World Championship again.

Touge Master · Dec 21, 2004

Nope you can't buy it.

Kent · Dec 21, 2004

Don't bother sweating this if you're having trouble matching it, I will not be competing.

However, I was curious to see how the car felt and what the laps would be like.

Brought the time down to 49.5 in about 20 miles. 👍

Hope you guys have fun this week and if you feel like the setup is hard to get right don't be scared to ask. :sly:

Till then,
:cheers:

Ev0 · Dec 21, 2004

Bah, trying to win the car as I type this. Test course races really suck... I'll complete it during the commercials of CSI and the Amazing Race.

Aesop Rock · Dec 22, 2004

I have to go win the car, oh and Evo just skip the test course and go back later with a 1000+hp car.

Ev0 · Dec 22, 2004

Agh, I just finished the test course race. I forgot I could skip it. Oh well, I can skip the later races.

Touge Master · Dec 22, 2004

Time Update-
T1-11.714
T2-24.194
T3-48.831

EDIT:Sorry thats a 49.831 not 48.831for T3

Iceman · Dec 22, 2004

This is a great combo 👍. Great car, great track. Much better than last week

. Nothing saved so far but out of 15 or so laps I'm around 49.0-49.5, which is pretty good considering I'm using my own settings :lol:

. I think I can probably get .5-1 sec off that with some good sets.

Aesop Rock · Dec 22, 2004

Got the car, will run laps tomorrow, its christmas vacation. I have hours on end to perfect my times.

Touge Master · Dec 22, 2004

Stiffend up the rear a bit and ended up with this
T1-11.609(seen 11.4)
T2-24.165(seen 24.0)
T3-49.591
Overall took off .3xx seconds.If you hadn't noticed I do have alot of time on my hands. :guilty:

NielsG · Dec 22, 2004

I would love to try your setup, Kent.

Small_Fryz · Dec 22, 2004

well, i will be off to win this car, hopefully i can get podium in Div 2 again, Im going on holidays on Monday for a week (so i will have submitted 96 by then) and i most likley wont be able to run week 97, but week 98 i will defenetly run.

This combo sounds a lot easier to get a clean run, I will have some T times up by tommorow night id say (24hrs).

Look out Touge Master, and 206

Mr P · Dec 22, 2004

Had a few more laps last night before bed, best clean so far has..

11.2xx / 23.6xx / 48.8xx 👍

Getting very close to Christmas now and might have to just submit that one.
Have a merry Christmas to all WRS racers and Planeteers alike! ... well, everyone who reads this in fact

Small_Fryz · Dec 22, 2004

Mr P,

very nice times there, still putting off winning that dam car, a few races before i go to bed and few tommorow and the XJ220 will be all mine

CFM · Dec 22, 2004

I'm gonna take a pass on this one. Good luck to those who give it a go, and 'Happy Holidays' to all my fellow WRS racers. :cheers:

Hugh Jeers · Dec 22, 2004

t1-11.4
t2-24.1
t3-49.5

i'll post any improvements as i get them
