This includes other prize cars, such as the TRD Celica and the Spoon Civic Type R?? Just making sure...

Otherwise... this should be interesting.. despite being the exact oppisite of MR cars

The ITR and Spoon CTR should be the pick of the bunch id say. gonna go do some runs and see what happens.

the TRD celica isnt anything to rave about.

Kent · Feb 1, 2005

Yeah, all those cars are allowed.

However, I don't think the spoon civic can keep up with this bunch.

ITR or TRD?
Either way those are the 2 to beat. :mischievous:

I might even give this one a try... Not sure though... My British Literature class is kicking my butt!
And to make matters worse I have recently started in on mastering Ace Combat 5! :lol:

Still, I will give this a try.

Till I get some laps in...
Btw, hope you all enjoy the race!

Azuremen · Feb 1, 2005

Well, we all know I love Toyota, so I'll see what I can do.

And Kent... this combo is either gonna make me a genius for FF setup, or hate them with a passion. Deep Forest, had some fun setting up MR cars on sims there, extremely tricky surface, and with this kinda power and FF... should make for some fun.

Smallhorses · Feb 1, 2005

What about the VWs? Lupo & Beetle cup cars? Are they fair game?

Azuremen · Feb 1, 2005

I would guess they are, if the Spoon Type R is

Just did some runs in my TRD Celica... I'm so rusty with FF...

T1 - 22.850
T2 - 50.591

I've got wheels smoking all over the place

Gonna have to work on the settings, but FF isn't my specialy (silently hopes someone posts settings to work off of :dopey:

)

Small_Fryz · Feb 1, 2005

well ive been going back to my liscense tests to gold them (PAL version) So far got all gold on B and A nearly all on IB (stupid 6,7 with the ruf is giving me hard time) and ive done about 5 on IA. Im a bit sick of it atm so im gonna have a few runs in the TRD, ITR and what ever else that i think may be good.

Took the TRD out for a strap

T1: 21.345
T2: 47.612

accordcoupe2004 · Feb 1, 2005

hi i'm new to this, and i'm not a registered racer yet, but i am considering. a question i have however is, for the track Deep Forest Reverse, do we run our car in simulation free run? or arcade mode free run and load our simulation car? or does it not matter?

Small_Fryz · Feb 1, 2005

arcade mode free run, and use our sim car. BTW its deep forest reverse 👍

HeinrichII · Feb 1, 2005

No Xsara

Still I'll give this one a shot

I know what car I'm gonna tune this week.
FF, 178hp.

Hugo Boss · Feb 1, 2005

It's time to jump in my Teg again

Small_Fryz · Feb 1, 2005

Is there any difference between the honda ITR and the Acura ITR?

Hugo Boss · Feb 1, 2005

You can tune the Honda to about 100 hp more (maybe even more), so I would go for the Honda :sly:

And, IIRC, the Honda is lighter and has better headlights

In my town somebody has got a Teg, and everytime I overtake it (doesn't happen that often with my 55 hp Polo

) and I look in my mirror, I feel sorry for the car that it doesn't have the Japanese headlights :indiff:

Those round lights are so ugly! :ill:

Small_Fryz · Feb 1, 2005

i just switched to the Honda ITR after running a decent lap in the TRD and improved my time by .6

the 478hp Honda ITR is my car of choice so far.

T1: 21.180
T2: 47.345

and hugo if you would be so kind to post some settings for this as i have no idea how to tune FF cars it would be greatly appreciated

.

SpeedZoner-T · Feb 1, 2005

YES!! finally, i have been waiting for this :mischievous:

lets see how good ill stand up against you with my specially tuned Civic Type-R :mischievous:

No problem, but I won't be running it before thursday so you can start experimenting yourself

Ev0 · Feb 1, 2005

Interesting choice of car, I'll probably put in a run later today. But I'm currently split between whether I should drive the Honda ITR, or join flat out in the full mod Mini.

And out of curiosity Kent, how far are you in AC5? I'm right now trying to unlock all the planes, and trying to buy full squadrons of them all.

Kent · Feb 1, 2005

Replying to an earlier question...
Any car is cool, just no xsara!

Regarding your question EvO...
Pretty far.

Beat all normal missions with (S).
Beat all Ace missions with (S).
Unlocked and obtained all planes.
Unlocked all paint jobs except for a select few.
(that includes almost every last one but for now I just can't recall which planes I don't have a third paint job for, but it's only like 3 planes)

Any way,
I'm going to run a lap or two before school.

Back afterwards to give the updates.
TRD Celica here I come! :mischievous:

LoudMusic · Feb 1, 2005

DAMN! I missed the 101 deadline. That sucks. Oh well, on to the next week.

SpeedZoner-T · Feb 1, 2005

Ran few laps with my CTR

T1 0'22,407
T2 0'48,667

Atleast 1.2 seconds will betaken off from that T1 and from T2... i think i can shave atleast 1.6 i think... Need to improve my settings little bit, LSD is waaayyy off and stabilizer havent been touched.. Springs will be needing some fixing too.

Smallhorses · Feb 1, 2005

flat-out
I know what car I'm gonna tune this week.
FF, 178hp.

I know what you mean Flat-out, twice in 3 weeks we get a golden opportunity to run the fully modded Mini. But..... its then the same race as Week 77. I'm certainly going to give it a shot to see if 20-odd more weeks of WRS racing has improved my skills at all!

I'm also pretty proud of sitting in the top 5 of your dynamic stats page, and I want to try and keep it that way! Sadly the Mini is just not likely to grab a top 25 finish with the increased volume of WRS participants lately (which is a great thing 👍 )

Decisions, decisions, its a great opportunity to run something that's never been run before too. I'll have to check Famine's exhaustive stat list to see which cars have never been used in the WRS.

Yeah, I feel exactly the same hesitation but I haven't been practising hardly in the past weeks and I'm not proud anymore of my twenty-oddth position (

I was 4th back in week 84). So I'll drive the Mini for a big part of the week, but perhaps I'll submit a time in a faster car. It won't be a terrific time anyway.

Consigliere · Feb 1, 2005

So far managed a few laps in the Spoon Civic Type R. Going to try the Honda ITR too..

T1 0'22.075 (seen 0'21.8XX)
T2 0'48.709 (seen 0'47.9XX)

Hope to see clean consistant laps with T1:s of 21.X and T2 of 47.X with a bit more practice..

BTW, if there is any FF settings guru out there I could desperatley do with some pointers!

I suck at doing the settings on a FR car, but here I have absolutely no idea.. :dunce:

Cheers!

inferno · Feb 1, 2005

This is great. I recently put together a save with every front drive car in the game (dont ask me why) so I have so may cars to choose from. I need to put some miles on my civic type R. if I can get it up to 450 hp It'l be at the same power to weight ratio as my Integra type R. I'll be using either of those. But even if i use the best car in the game, My generaly sucky tuning will ensure I dont do as well this week.

SpeedZoner-T · Feb 1, 2005

Inferno, im not sure but i think the CTR cant go all the way to 450 hp. I have driven my CTR in and it has only 447 hp. It might go 1 or 2 hp up more but lets see..

bbq0801 · Feb 1, 2005

FWD, man what a change of pace,
so far with the ITR,
T1=0'22.245
T2=0'48.628
after 5 test laps and no setup changes, except gearbox and diff, hope to find about half a second on the first split, and maybe up to three quarters on the second
