i can guarantee "bouncing the revs"?? does not gain you time

I believe I hold the fastest 6-axis time of 2'25.882 IIRC. I only spent an hour or two working up to that time so I hope to shave a couple of tenths off when I go at it again later tonight. 👍

Getting those last few tenths with the 6-axis is going to be tough though. You need a really delicate touch on the steering, or else you end up scrubbing too much speed at the exits. You'll notice the car accelerates slower with the more steering input you give it, so again you must be smooth and as minimal with your inputs as possible, while trying to hit all of your braking and turn in pounts the best you can to improve your drive and momentum exiting the corner. Through the esses you must be aggressive though, by throwing or shifting the weight to the front by turning in hard and lifting off the throttle at the precise moment. This allows the rear end to unload so you can get the car to turn in and rotate quicker and harder, which allows you to carry more momentum through the esses.

i see your point about giving it to much turn in the corners. i have noticed thats my problem. im losing alot of time with this but getting used to the feel of it all. the esses im not to bad in. i am keeping up there but like i said its the sharper turns thats slowing me down

Ok. That's good.👍 Because I find it unrealistic.

 

[markyboy92]

Guarantee it does lol or you wouldnt do it, its slows the car quicker.

I will put how many races each person enters

crazytortise: I use the joystick for steering, x for throttle, square for brake, L2 for downshift, and R2 for upshift

 

[Jinxstir]

its called engine braking, perhaps you should try instead of whining

 

[Mad94d]

Ok can we end the topic about 'engine braking' or 'bouncing it off the limiter'. We don't want to start any arguments or fights.

I've noticed there are a lot of GTP_tags in the rankings, that's great to see.👍 Keep it up everyone.

 

[markyboy92]

Good idea mad ill tell him what i think of him in private message instead lol:tup:

But its common sense, if he wants to drive like that its his choice but he gets a bad reputation.

 

[crazytortise]

yes i have finally done it. im into the 2:26:9xx 👍 persistance pays off

 

[Mad94d]

Nice work:tup:

a bad reputation because he is very fast??....strange,he is not doing anything wrong and has put in an amazing lap....don't like your stile markyboy...👎....just get in your racingseat and try to beat him instead of making an issue of it...you created this race with the intention of "improving your skills"...not to hammer down anyone who obviously has some.....👍


spyrrari.

 

[Mad94d]

Good idea spyrrari, leave the talking on the track. I've already said I don't want this thread to turn into a fighting and argueing thread. If people are going to fight or argue do it via pm. I didn't make this comp with markyboy92 so people could put down and fight with other people. Sorry for being so forward.

I just noticed i'm all the way down in 8th. I'm gonna have to try and do something about that. Good times guys.👍

 

[The Outlaw]

Just did a 2'25.739, good enough for 6th on the leaderboard. 👍

P.S. It would be nice to know who will be competing in this time trial for points sakes. How about the top two drivers on the leaderboard? I know they post on the forum, but will they be scoring points when this TT is over? Me thinks we need a sign up sheet

We can't have a sign up sheet because people will probably be in and out of the competition. I think the top two in the rankings are competing. Not certain though. I remember in the GT time trial competition you never knew who was entering in the rankings, so you had to give it your best shot. Sorry but not all the people will be able to commit to an 18 race schedule. So we can't have a sign up sheet. But at least you know if you see GTP_drivers that they will be competing.

Those who are competing are those who submit their time by the deadline per the rules, right?

Yep, correct. We do that so you don't have to commit to every race.

Ok, Awesome. Can't catch you by the way, hot time:tup: I'm up to 5th but still more left, possibly another tenth or two.

 

[Calcifer12]

I normally download the number 1 ghost and that helps me a lot. Only trouble is that it sometimes gets in the way.

I do that. But during the laps I continuously turn ghost on and off.

 

[Mad94d]

Up to 2nd now. But still 0.3 slower than jinxstir.

dude, a 2'25.3xx is still a rocket time:tup:

32 in the top 100 when I had a go this arvo.I don't think I'll make the top 15. Top 10 GTPers are 3rd-12th.

Zed300:

Sure,that will do.


spyrrari: I chased your lap around,fine lap, every corner, especially the hairpin, you edged away from me .HAHAHA .

 

[markyboy92]

YES spyrrari bad reputation when 'jinkstir' thinks he is better than DHolland.

Btw. i wouldnt be within 0.5 off with just 2 sessions if DHolland was in. He is x4 the driver 'jinxster' will ever be.

Damn... impressive lap time Marco! Speedy pad will be no match for you on this one

Looks like I will need to get a wheel ASAP to even score any points in this competition. Things are heating up quickly in this competition 👍
