Enjoy the race guys 👍
 
37.486 / 30.468
1'13.685 / 1'06.571

Had a few minor AI hits, but nothing you wouldnt see in real life racing.

I had AI on R5's is that correct? with no tire wear.
 
I edited in one more rule to the race guys sorry ... I wont add any more :)


Keep AI contacts to a maximum of 3 touches
 
2 questions....

  1. Do you need to actually WIN to submit your time - or is finishing last an option ? :grumpy:
  2. Does a Celica with cold carbon brakes ramming you from behind count as AI contact ? :grumpy:

[Edit:] I can't BELIEVE how sticky sticky rubber (R5/SS) is.. It feels like the car is glued to the road.. DAMN :D

[Edit2:] Why does GT4 decide to pitch us against a bunch of washed-up rally cars ? :odd:

Yes you can submit a run that finishes in any position even last ... just as long as it crosses the line at the end of lap 2 👍

No .... as long as its on the backend of the car and not the rear side of the car or it would be counted as a contact.

Yep I agree! .. this car with R5/SS tyres drives like it's on rails 👍

[Edit2:] Why does GT4 decide to pitch us against a bunch of washed-up rally cars ? :odd:
The AI difficulty puts different opponent cars against you! ... say I chose AI+6 then you would see a tougher line up by far, I thought they were just a bit too much for everyone to finish in 1st place .... check it out for a nosey .. they are pretty damn tough +6 through to +10 :sly:
 
another second off my final time, partly due to a better AI combo but mainly me just running faster for the whole 2 laps.... only 2 contacts. Ive passed 1st place before T2.

37.588 / 30.265
1'13.307 / 1'05.992

Luxy has very kindly made a leaderboard for us so i will update that now and provide the link, and If you can Ron you can add it to your 1st post 👍.

1 hour session today, not at all happy with my time.
L1:
T1: 38.042
T2: 1'13.417

L2:
T1: 30.246
T2: 1'05.637

Completed this race pretty early in my session. Did have a run .3s faster but i dirtied it on the final corner.
On the rest of my first laps, i saw, on average, T1 of 37.7s and T2's of 1'13.2.
Didn't get to see many second laps, but T2's were usually 1'05.5.
On hot laps i've seen T2's of 1'05.1 so a 1'05.5 is a major disappointment to me.
Might not get to spend much more time on this with midterms coming up in the next 2 weeks.
 
First clean run (no AI hits):

37.721 / 30.270
1'13.299 / 1'05.618

Top Speed was standard, might lower that a bit. Think I picked the wrong AI line up though...
 
same for me my first banker (no AI hits)

L1 - 37.866 / 1'13.855
L2 - 30.520 / 1'06.326

A clean save will do for now ... I will work on fast later :D

looks like I'm only .6 down per lap so far :)
 
Hey,

Fun race but a little hard for me. :( :lol:

Didn't catch the first lap but it was surely slow. Second lap was slow as well but not too slow. :D
Something in the 1'06.8 area. :sly:

Nothing great yet but I'm enjoying the combo, which is why I'm racing. 👍
Personally, I'm more interested in finding out what sort of races my friends enjoy than the competition. :cool: :lol:

(just a good excuse for bad racing :lol: )

Back later on when I get some extra laps in.
 
First few laps from me, when i finally got a clean run and saved:

38.208
1'14.533

lap 2 30.417
T2 1'06.402

I see no problems with changing the deadline! 👍
My new splits:

37.615/1'12.647(saw a 1.12.3 but not with this Al setup)
30.114/1'05.1(saw 1.04.8 but can't complain about lap2 as the finish was very good)

Improved my time for 7 tenths at the finish line but still half a second left here I think,though not with this Al combination.The best Al combo that I found out so far was 25 spec points when Toyota Corolla is in the lead and behind there's Accent,it was the best because I could overtake Corolla before that 2nd complex of 90° turns,so I can go a lot faster there!Unfortunately it takes a lot of restarts to get the combination you want and to be honest I got sick of it already :yuck:
Still,this race is very addictive! 👍
 
Very nice little shindig u got here Mr P! 👍 It's good to see the BC guys here! :)

I plan on giving this a go this evening. I do have a question tho.....

Are we running anything goes for the racing line as long as there is no wall contact? Or is it 2 wheels inside the rumbles and racing lines? :confused:

Specifically I am wondering about curb cutting being legal in a couple places.
