GT Planet Member Time Attack Challenge

[Shigegaki]

dammit, 1'11.091. when it hit 152 I shifted and I think it was a miss shift. still need to shave more time off where you at glubags?

 

[Glubags]

I was out getting drunk last night. I ran a 2'07.599 on Amalfi, and continued to try to beat that ghost, but had no luck before it was time to go out. Congrats to Yavy on his win there.

I actually have to buy the Ford GT... I'll need to advance the days a good bit... might miss a couple other cars I wanted, but oh well, they'll come up again later.

I'll do some laps later today and hopefully break into the 1'10s... I dunno, though... that car will lose traction in a heartbeat, and I'm not altogether crazy about Midfield... we'll see how it goes.

@ cottees

the cut off time is always at 11pm PST. according to your time stamp on your ghost file, you finished at 9:17pm. i'll take the submission this time, but please for future reference make you sure you post before the 11pm PST submission time. you have 3 days to do so

I am in Adelaide, Australia so 17/10/2007 21:17 CDT is 17/10/2007 3:37 PDT. This time I'll work out the time difference better.

My best time so far for C4 is 1'17.377

 

[Shigegaki]

I kinda pissed that I missed the shift or it should of been into the 1'10's. I'll mess with more settings later today and see if I can get it from power sliding during the big U turn.

 

[Shigegaki]

1'10.651

Edit.

All up until the last hairpin, this basically constitutes about as perfect a lap as I can put together. I was on track to do a high 1'09 (I was just over 6 tenths ahead of my 1'10.581 ghost at the beginning of the last sector) and then I got into the throttle a little too early on the last hairpin, lost traction, and ran wide.

I'm actually loving this track/car combo. Thought I'd hate it. Replay should be done processing soon.

 

[danlalan]

My best time is also around the 1:17's. To get close to the 10's looks hard.

 

[Genesisfury]

Took me a day and a half to get it but after many changes to the car I finally did it. I think I read somewhere that the "no stripes" ford GT was acceptable. (btw I cant seem to find the Honda NSX Type S 01' thats in the next challenge , are you sure thats the exact name?)

 

[Cottees]

Yeah, we have Guinness in Aus. Many of the bottle shops over here sell it. The drinking age in Aus is 18+, not that it stops some people.

 

[allent2]

Wow great runns guys! Im still trying to break out of the 1'14's myself

@Genesisfury
Yea thats the right car. I just found it myself, it was in my day 115, (I started with the 206 as my first car,) it has the 'real' headlights and not the pop up style. Cant wait to see more times!

 

[Glubags]

Finally broke into the 1'09s, but just barely.

Again, the final hairpin bit me here, but not nearly as badly as my previously submitted time. I also accidentally shifted from 3rd to 5th on the straight after the first S (I guess my cramped hand double-tapped the shoulder button), so I'm guessing that lost me another few hundredths... perhaps even a tenth.

If I could run this lap perfectly--the final hairpin being the main concern--I could turn out a 1'09.7XX... but I really think that would my car's/ability's absolute limit.

Will record the replay soon; here's the ghost for now:

 

[Shigegaki]

i had a hunch this morning when I woke up. I log on check over peoples times and Glubags was the first to break into the 1'09's. Guess ill mess around some more today but I bought Monster Hunter and its addicting haha. Don't worry though, I will keep a eye on the thread during the day and update it when every now and then. Welcome to some of new members posting times. Always nice to see that.

 

[Glubags]

Got the replay uploaded:


Back to watching F1 qualifying in Brazil.

 

[danlalan]

Got back up to playing some more. Have come into the 1:13's. from the 17's. 1:10.xxx seems like a dream.



Thats my time for now. Sorry but the time up there instead of the date.

Yeah, I'm not even gonna attempt to get 1'09....

 

[Cottees]

1'17.377

 

[danlalan]

cottees iam sure you can do better than that. It takes a couple of laps to get used to. But You can manage 1:11:xxx for sure.

 

[psp88]

sorry for the photo quality.
am in a hurry.
just had to post.

1:10.530

 

[Cottees]

I was able to get the time down a little, only to 1'16.834. Might try again later.

 

[allent2]

1'13.6XX and it was a poor run in a few spots
@ Cottees
Try watching some of the other guys laps, that helped me some. Watch for what gear their in at diffrent spots on the track!

 

[Shigegaki]

[danlalan]

Finally something decent. That does it for me. Already bought the Honda nsx. Just waiting now.

 

[Glubags]

I still need to buy the NSX... I'm about halfway through my 2nd dealer cycle (had to advance the days a lot to buy the GT), so I hope it shows up soon.


Edit: The Honda NSX '01 just showed up... not the Type S though.

Edit: Got it! I now have every car needed for this first season of challenges.

 

[allent2]

1'12.386

 

[gt_ford_1]

Got a decent time in, had chances to get below 1'11.5XX but never took them.

My best time was 1'11.738

 

[Shigegaki]

hey glubags, what rims do you have on your S2000? they look like 6 spokes so I would naturally assume that they are gloss black volk te37s. I could be wrong.

 

[Glubags]

They're SSR Type-C RS, 17x9 wrapped with Dunlop Direzzas (255/40) on all four corners. The non-staggered setup really suits the car's original balance... Tons of grip. Can't wait to see how they fare when the car's finished.

 

[Yavy92]

Here's my time of 1'09.711 👍

 

[Shigegaki]

even though the AP1 has a reputation of sliding around? I am saving to buy some TE37s for my Z but the wheels even at this time are still expensive haha.

its 9:35pm PST, please get your times in before 11pm PST. Thanks!!!
