2014 Round 2 - Nissan 370Z @ Apricot Hill Raceway *GTP Leaderboard*

[Famine]

AWESOME JOB BANDIT IN ROUND 1 AWESOME JOB ALL OF YOU IN THE TOP 250 THAT'S HUGE THAT CAR SUCKS AND IS SO TEMPERMENTAL......LOL

Can we try that without the all caps, please?

Anyway, I'm going to have to suck it up and go wheel. Apricot Hill is my test track and I know it very well, but the Comfort Softs trying to cope with 331hp means I'm only down to 1'37.2 with button bashing. G25 time...

 

[hognhominy]

I highly doubt we'll improve that much. Even in last year's main qualifier, with a new, longer track and a trickier car to drive, the #1 time only improved by 1.2 seconds from the end of day 1.
I reckon at most, we might see a few aliens get into the 1:33's, if any.

I think 1:33's will most definitely happen, I'm just not sure how low.

 

[ISniffPetrol]

I'm finding this very difficult, does anyone with gold have some constructive tips?

 

[MatheusBond]

This is flipping retarded, I could pull off a 1:35 on SH maybe. But no, they put me on flipping CS!! At least it's better than the Leaf on CH.

Anyway, 1:36.784 is enough for now. I'll put some more laps in later this week.

Yes, sorry for all the caps lol, first time on here didn't know what to expect but yes it is annoying now that I look back at it. Any suggestions for that damn s-curve I'm either too far in and go off track or I'm too close in and hit the cones I have a bad habit of braking too late and accelerating way too hard which makes it hard coming outta corners Ian working on correcting that but when I see green or light blue numbers u get wreckless sometimes and most of the time it doesn't help lol yet sometimes it does with '600th's of second. So my question is this what's and averge speed coming into that s turn and is it better inside or outside?

I don't think a 1:33 will happen, the better drivers probably already have an idea of their limits. I'm guessing a low 34 will be #1 by the end of the 2 weeks.

 

[Picnic]

Wow I screwed that up. Have been struggling to get under 1.40, was 3 seconds quicker than my best lap and some how spun it on the last bend...

do some test laps - get your braking points - drive as smooth as you can - follow the darkest surface on track - gradually build up your speed.

weight transfer seems to be very important here, the less you unsettle the car the better. 👍

 

[Ninners]

I lose my time in the chicane at the end of the lap about 0.3.

 

[Picnic]

Also, my best lap is really poor in the first half and great in the second. All my laps since have been the opposite.

 

[MatheusBond]

I seem to be getting plenty more speed than my peers on turn 7 by shifting down to 3rd gear midway through.

1:37.796 ( DS3 )

GTP_ENERGIYA / GTP_ENERGIYA

 

[MOPARbarrett5]

1:37.226 I'm happy with that. I think having a DS3 like I do is more of a disadvantage in round 2 than round 1.

 

[MatheusBond]

From now on the gap between pros and the others will only get bigger, I think.

 

[Picnic]

1:39.150

Should be getting my stand for my wheel tomorrow, will hopefully make things easier.

 

[guster11]

Huh considering I drive and race a 350 I feel I should be doing a lot better than 1:38.4. Good challenge none the less, I forgot how great apricot hill is.

 

[MOPARbarrett5]

I looked a few minutes ago and there were 24917 entries so by now its probably over 25000.

 

[Saidur_Ali]

judging by the first day times and watching replays, I would think someone is going to be flirting with 1:32's, might not get there, but close. 1:33.1xx would be my best guess.

Impossible for 1:33.1xx going by replay I watched.

I think 1:33's will most definitely happen, I'm just not sure how low.

I personally think it will be a struggle to get into 1:33's. Probably fastest will be a couple tenths or so around 1:34.5XX.

Another one, 1:36.104. Sorry for the double post.

Faster than @Ninners, woohoo!!

 

[Ninners]

You're faster than me...I need to improve 👍

 

[Jump_Ace]

It'll be nice not having to wait sooooo long between restarts and crossing the finish line. I just stopped trying the last one as it was getting on my nerves.

I'm finding consistency difficult here. Getting the weight transfer wrong in the first few turns loses you a tonne of time. All the time I'm losing is in the first and last sectors.

1.36.700 (I was .43x up on that but hit the last cone out of the last chicane!)

 

[MatheusBond]

My problem is the hairpin, I lose a lot of momentum trying to trail brake into it. But braking in a straight line is too slow!

 

[BMWcrazy]

After two hours of cursing I finally got gold.

I'm just terrible at Apricot Hill.

 

[MOPARbarrett5]

1:37.207, I've reached my max for the day.

136:.961 mikeonthebike, psn mikeonthebike81, i have a bit left in me, still a few sloppy sections

1:36.052 PSN: geordie139

Ran soooo many 36.1's.
Think a mid 35's about my limit, just need to put all the sectors together.

Thank you very much, I'll bear this in mind
