Astra v CLK [DTM MAYHEM]

[NielsG]

I also use 300km/h for both cars. Started out with a 5 gear strategy, but that was a great deal slower for me.

 

[Mr P]

Updated 👍

I used 310 on both cars ... not been on these since my last update ... but will try 300 tonight and see if I can grab anything

 

[MinorShunt]

I used 300 on both. 👍

 

[NielsG]

Midfield Forward:

CLK: 1'00.851

Total: 2'02.661

Updated Niels and Rob 👍

New Astra from me at 300 top speed 59.953 ... will push on as I should be at 59.8 by now if I wasn't so god damned jinxed on the last tunnel

 

[Mr P]

18.769 / 36.959 - 59.908 👍

Great job ICE! You got the 59.8 👍
If you would be so kind to post replays when we are done with the comp, I would like to chase your ghosts to see how Midfield can be driven!

 

[Iceman]

Here's both of them:

 

[Mr P]

Outstanding laps from Ben 👍

I originally thought your Midfield Reverse time was for real and then after looking at your posted total I realised it was a typo .. thank god!! It would have been one major improvement eh! anyway Top Marks mate ... I doubt I will even challenge your 1st places on any of these combo's ... Well done on that blazin 59.8 btw

Updated

 

[holl01]

great times iceman, i could match u in reverse (exactly) but fell .030ish short in forward

59.864
1'00.085

great idea mrp

 

[Mr P]

@ Dan .... I took it that Bens reverse time was a typo going by his total time? surely you have made a typo also? is a flat 1'00 minute possible? I hope its another typo anyway ?????

 

[Iceman]

Yeah, mine was a typo. I doubt a 1'00 flat is possible. It's pretty crazy that we got the same time dan

 

[holl01]

indeed i copied icemans typo, lol, splits were .570/.767 and time was 1'01.085.

iceman, i could never seem to get a .4xx T1 not once and my best was actually this T1, did u by any chance go outside the rumble strips on the tight hairpin right b4 T1? i drove both combos within the rumbles

 

[Mr P]

Cheers Dan 👍

As long as 2 wheels are on tar at all times and no wall contacts then it will be legal 👍 basically same rules as the gt.de database ... tar behind the rumbles is in play 👍

 

[Iceman]

Ok, my laps are legal then 👍

 

[holl01]

ah ok, it just felt wrong to cut the rumbles so i decided to stay within them and probably sacrificed .1 per race, ah well. should be posting replays right now but max drive disc is playing up

 

[GTmaniac]

Not that anyone would want my replays now but here they are:tup:

 

[holl01]

replays are here

 

[Mr P]

I already watched both Bens laps and they are clean and smooth I noticed that the accel and brake at the same time certainly helps on the roundy before T2 👍

I just grabbed Zoky's and Holl0's and will view them later today with the others I gather up

 

[Mr P]

Viewed Zoky's and Dans replays on forward and reverse and all are clean and fast .... I did notice that Dan hugs the grass a bit to get up some speed on both forward and reverse tracks but totally legal all the way The stand out part in your laps was the on and off the throttle turn before the last bend on Midfield reverse! It was nothing short of perfect ... Top Marks man I couldn't match that bend if I tried it for a week solid

Thanks for posting your replays guys 👍

 

[holl01]

thanx, yeah in midefeild reverse i totally nailed the last double left, and i never repeated that again in the 45 minutes of laps i did after that i only hugged the grass to maximise road usage, and not to gain extra speed..if i wanted to gain extra speed i would have hugged the grass down the straights also.

 

[Mr P]

Dont worry Dan! I was not bad mouthing your laps ... more observing your exit speed on a few bends whilst touching the grass your laps were still blazin mate 👍

 

[arora]

Damn you guys are fast 👍 hoping to join in soon, maybe next race......

I may seem like a clueless newbee........., oh yea, I am a clueless newbee.

We'll see If i can compete.

Almost forgot, I ran a 1.01.4xxx forward astra after about 2 hrs.. lol

Hi arora good to see you here and feel free to join the next round 👍

For the record guys ... arora contacted me via pm to see if I could view a sample replay as he just got a maxdrive and wants to take part in OLR we exchanged replays and all is good
For a member with only 1 post to his name its a damn good way to start in OLR by getting the replay device upfront and setting an example to anyone else lurking around but not taking part who wants to make the move to participating

arora is NTSC btw ...I'm sure you guys will welcome him 👍

 

[arora]

Thanks Mr. P
