Enhance Your Skills - Race 8

[Mad94d]

You may as well submit your time and try to pick up as many points as possible spyrrari.

I improved to a 57.715 earlier, now 0.05 off Dan. I'm hoping to find that bit of extra speed. On that lap I made a mess of turn 1, lost around a tenth there alone. So i'm hoping I can get that right in the future, but I had a fantastic last corner which probably grabbed back some more time.

I've found that to get the car to turn in slow corners, you need to do your braking before the corner and turn with no throttle or brake. That way the car turns in quite well.

This combo was really enjoyable for me. After getting used to the understeer, I managed to pull together a reasonably good time, which I'm submitting. Could not improve, so yeah.

Will have my replay up tomorrow.

 

[Mad94d]

I just got a 57.644, only just clean coming out of turn 6(I checked it 5 times). That is quicker than the time Dan submitted but he went and punched in a 57.553 tonight. I'm fairly happy with my lap, I can't imagine me getting much more time out of it.

Man I'm sucking at this one....what makes it worse, since I can't log on to PSN, I can't download ghosts to go any faster!

A minute is my PB.👎

 

[markyboy92]

Hang on... he already submitted his time... still i aint even had 2 hours on it yet so im looking for around mad's time.

 

[Ghoa$t]

How do you take turn 2? I find it impossible to get the car to stick with speed without touching the rail and i end up exiting waaaaaay too slow.

Back the car up, turn in early, hug the guard rail, and mid throttle off..

Yes, still wanted another go as I wasn't satisfied with my T1, my new best lap has both splits at high .1xx's, with a craptastic last corner to finish it off:tup:

 

[Chadwicksracing]

I've hit max. I'll submit tomorrow.

Very nice effort mad94d:tup: I had a feeling you would beat my time this week, congratulations on the unofficial win:tup:

 

[markyboy92]

Watched your lap Holl, amazing T1 but im sure your agree theres still more to knock off.

 

[holl01]

There is certainly more time left but because my time has already been submitted I have no desire to chase the remaining 1/1.5 tenths thats possibly left out there.

I was hoping to beat your time this week, not really that satifying because I know you're still a lot faster than me at this combo. My Swift gets extremely close to the wall on the exit of turn 6, it's clean in my opinion. But it's VERY close.

Well, I have to say this is one of the most frustrating time trials I have ever done. I guess I put in about 4 good sessions (about 5 or 6 hours total), and I've had enough

I think to sum it up, this is one of those tracks where you never really get into a flow so to speak. I mean on some tracks, you may be able to run 8, 10 or more clean laps in a row while really pushing, but on this track, I don't think I was able to string together more than 3 clean laps in a row, rarely was I able to put 2 in a row together. I saw T1 splits that were as much as 4 tenths ahead of my final time, but I just couldn't put the lap together

Congratulations to pretty much everyone. Some excellent times are being posted. By the way, great combo Mad, in spite of my performance. That is a fun little car that I probably would not have driven otherwise 👍

 

[Mad94d]

Thanks, yeah I chose the combo becasue I remember racing my Dad with it in split screen on the sixaxis. I remembered it was quite fun and easy to drive. It surprised me actually, so I knew i'd use it in an EYS combo. Glad you liked it.👍 You're completely right by the way. I struggle to string one clean lap together.

Submitting my time........... couldn't find the necessary time to improve on that, but i'm pretty happy with the lap. Having said that, i'm annoyed i couldn't get in front of aussienicko, he's improved out of sight the last 3 or 4 rounds, and i've slipped i think

 

[markyboy92]

57.761
I think if i nailed corner 2 i would of had net p1 [low .6xx].

Submitted: '57.927

Thanks

aussienicko is a much improved driver since week 18 in WRS and here as well.

Kudos to you aussienicko, we all strive to do this and you are continung to do so.👍

Yeah, I'd say WRS and EYS has helped him Enhance His Skills. He's certainly very fast now, that goes for Animera as well. Even though he doesn't compete in this comp he puts in the odd session just for fun and normally posts a fairly fast time. Congrats you two, you've both certainly improved a lot.

In my opinion this comp gets more and more competitive every round with everyone improving, the times are getting closer which is great to see. Keep it up guys.👍

 

[monoha]

I liked this combo a lot 👍 even though it was amazingly hard to make a clean fast lap. It was quite difficult, because once you did a corner perfectly (which you normally don't) you have to approach the next corner totally differently then you normally do, because the speed is changed - and that issue gets so clear with a light fast car on a little track. Racing it reverse without curbs doesn't help either!

I'm not so happy with my lap time this race - I know from splits I can do a lot better, but I have spend so much time on this, I just had to stop. Enhance your skills is really a good title for this championship!

Here is my replay

 

[ripping_silk]

Still 20 hours left to submit a time, but I'm not going any faster, in fact I'm going slower. I set this time 5 days ago, and not even come close to this again, let alone looking at sub 58's and top 10. Really disappointed with my performance, but so glad this round is over for me. If I had a cat... I'd go kick it now.
