Edit: 1:23.032

Fastest sector times for the night out of all my runs:
sector 1: 24.508, sector 2: 42.650, and sector 3 1:03.458.

Getting closer, but damn is it hard to string together a great run lol.

Well due to imminent hard drive failure on my laptop, I can no longer submit (on university computer now, so I don't know my time and won't be around to submit it most likely).

Not sure how recent this time is, but I saw your time on the leader board.
Opel Kadett GT/E 1:24.166

What? The corners? Or tracks? What are you talking about.

Basically the #2 corners, I had most of my problems there, I'd take one perfect then screw up the next.

Oh right yea, I usually try not to go too fast. And avoid getting more than 2 wheels on the grass, otherwise it's gonna be bumpy.

Dat first 2 and dat 2nd 2, I hate them with a passion.

The first double-left turn can be a pain, but the second is a nightmare, especially in the Fiat (needed to take it slower due to understeer). The Opel may be more tail-happy, but I can go through that second double-left much faster with it than I can with the Fiat. I feels more nimble too, if a tad unstable.


Anyway, 1:25.123 in the Opel Kadett GT/E was my fastest time. I managed a 1:25.664 with the Fiat just now as well, but I had trouble knocking off time in the middle section.

So week 3 is up now. It was a toss-up between Eagle River and a different Trailblazer stage, but I'll leave that one for a later date instead.

Will have a proper go later, maybe try the RMR too if i get time.

That's a Classic Trailblazer vehicle, not Modern (which this weeks event allows), so it's ineligible. Sorry.

Damnit, didn't see the Modern part. Well I'll run it again tommorow I guess.

 

[Wiegert]

No worries, mate. I'm liking the new avvy, by the way. 👍

And I'll get a time up soon. Maybe tonight if I'm not too tired.

Wow, why weren't there this many people playing before in Season 1 EOTW?

Oh well, more work for you so it doesn't matter to me

And where were you last week? We could have had 7 participants on the board!


And I'm as surprised as you at how many people are doing it this time around. Granted, I did get a couple of friends to take part in this, which is like, 2 more than I expected. Hopefully I can get some more to join in soon.

I was busy finishing up the semester and cleaning out my room because I was rearranging wardrobes since I was getting a new one. My bandwidth was also low, but it reset just today

Ah. I hated the bandwidth on my old connection, but that's no longer an issue these days, thankfully.


And I set a time earlier on. 1:23.513 - RMR PM580.

 

[gtuned]

1:23.122 - RMR PM580

My goal every week is to beat Wiegert seeing as i have no chance against jim or wilk.

I'll try and see if I can beat your time with the Suzuki first. Failing that, then I'll go back to the trusty RMR PM580.

You are only 3-4 tenths behind.

1:22.667 - RMR PM580


Turns out the Suzuki with a default set-up is almost useless on this stage, so the RMR is the only real option for me. I had 4 good runs that ended with me smashing into trees, signs, etc, but I managed to make an improvement in the end, even though had to slow down more on the final turn after sliding the back end a little too much. Also, I just realised that I'm top of the board this week... wasn't expecting that at all.


Oh, and it's your move, GTuned.

ikr? took the hairpins somehow perfectly and that first tarmac turn too.

 

[Minty]

Suzuki Monster Sport SX4 - 1:24.154

Playing the game seriously for the first time in months, so I'll go back later and run it some more with some other cars.
