i know its a bit past the conversation, and i apolgise for not visiting the site for a couple of days to keep up, but i wanted to just put my oar in!!

maybe its the heat, but there seems to be one or two disputes of late on this site. i just hope it will help us to remember that this site covers many different towns/states/countries and not everyone speaks in the same language or even same 'tongue.' so picking up on one or two words that just may have been misinterpreted is just nonsense. its also extremely difficult to put emotion into written word with so many different levels of intelligance and competence. but should that be held against anyone????

thanks for reading.

@Kent: Y'know in both my posts I tried very hard to be polite and explain any perceived misunderstandings between us and yet you insist not only on taking offense but being belligerent about it too :grumpy: Whatever, I've removed the word "provisional" from my sig to prevent any future bull**** :irked:
 
All right everyone, the argument is over. Nothing to see here, move along now.

P.S. Please use the chat thread for off topic discussion in the future, that's why we have it. A little spam is OK along with race related discussion, but keep in mind there may be 56k'ers wanting to look at splits, racing line advice, or setups, and may not want to load page after page trying to find it. Save a little spot in your heart for the poor poor 56k'ers. :lol:
 
@CFM: I AM a poor poor 56k'er :(

Anyway, back on topic, I notice Luxy's board isn't updating very regularly this week, I take it you guys are busy elsewhere 👍 I THINK I'm still in the top 3 in D2, but I'm not sure, and I only have one good run improvement left in me, if I can just keep it clean :irked: I can consistently match or beat my T1 and T2 times, but there time to be made in T3. Damn those walls :sly:

Anyway, I'm not at work today so I'm off to try again...
 
I´ve only ran wednesday and thursday and my splits still top div2... :)

guess if i had time to run during the weekend i would have a good time even for div1...

still, don´t know why i don´t show up on luxy´s leaderboard... guess i´m a phantom driver... 💡

lets see how it ends tomorrow...
 
I think im just gonna settle for another top 20 this week. I seem to get those quite easily and it's too hot to spend much time indoors over here. I'm not desperate to get put in a team with someone who is like 1 second faster than me anyway. I might have one more try tonight, im not sure. Aw heck ill just submit my time now.
 
:cheers:

Finally managed to string it together and beat my previous best which had a slow final sector. New times:

T1 - 0'24.796 (fractionally slower than before)
T2 - 1'05.391 (I took the first part of Portier a little slow, or so I thought...)
T3 - 0.7s faster :cool:

I had to watch this lap about 5 times to make sure it was clean in a couple of places, exiting Saint Devote, Portier, and Tabac, but it all looks good 👍

With the leaderboard being a bit behind this week I can't tell if I'm still on for that podium, and courtesy of the fast bunnies like MinorShunt and MR8 I keep getting bumped down...I'm gonna catch you guys one of these days :mischievous: :)

Don't know if I'm gonna put anymore time into this week, I think that's about as fast as I can go with this combo and my driving style.

@MinorShunt: Am I reading you right? You're powersliding around Loews hairpin? :lol: Damn that's a gutsy move, I brake down to 2nd and about 48kph, use about 200 degrees of steering and ease my way through. Not that I need to give you any tips, you keep posting better times than me :grumpy: :sly:

Gonna be a tight race for this week's podium in D2...
 
Ive only had one stint on this combo, cos i had to go take off my michelins.....

So the times i put up waaaaaaaaaaaaay back are still the only ones i had.

Im off to try again, and im gonna start playing settings.

Just to throw this out there.... has anyone tried raising the front end as high as it'll go, then dropping the ass?
just curious....


Have fun peeps, see you in the results tomorrow.

Humph.
 
@CFM: I have 56k... And at times it's faster than some peoples cable. Not bad considering everything else about my PC is a POS.

Now I'm mad... I already submitted my time, so I was running the track again. I TOOK .5 OF A SECOND OFF! 🤬 *hides in his corner and cries to himself*
 
Well,

It looks like my actions have finally caught up to me.

I'm sorry to have made the WRS such a bad place for so many of you.

Don't worry.
I will not be around to do that to you all any more.

Please try to enjoy the racing.

Dude, isn't that a little OTT running away cause of an argument, why not just restrain yourself more in future & if you have beef with someone, discuss it in pm's or ina more civil manner without throwing handbags at eachother..

....can't we all just get along....

btw: I suck at GT4 :( lol
 
Quick update:

Running on a modified holl01setup,

T1 24.875
T2 1'05.985

Damn thing was I had a fastest sector time in T1 by 0.1 or so, fastest sector in T2 by 0.6'!!!, then tanked the last sector 0.4'.... GRRRR!!

Still, happy with the time, and I KNOW I have time left to make up. Good and bad I guess....

Later,

-SHig

hey VacekS, are you entering the team event next week as well? our times are pretty close on luxy's board so there's a possibility we'll get put together.

I'm participating, but am reluctant to get paired up with anyone. My schedule from week to week is questionable, so I would hate to cause my fellow team member to place badly in the competition because I don't have the time to practice.

Thanks for checking with me though, I appreciate it. :)

Also, sorry it took so long to get back to you, :guilty: was out of town for the weekend and not checking the board. I'll respond to your PM here shortly.
 
Sorry,
It seems that I am not well liked.

I can understand this. :(
After all, I have been tough about replay verification and even worse about little things like the argument from a few pages back.

Even though I felt insulted by the "definition" based post, I still had no right to suggest the member was being a "smart-ass."

However, you are right Tim-Brad.
I shouldn't just run off.

I will not do that.
Too much time has been spent with this series to just drop it all.

My attitude may change a bit, but who knows what that will bring (never know, it could be for the worse since I haven't always been a bad-guy). ;)

In any case, sorry about the trouble everyone, especially you CFM. :(
 
That's the spirit! Let's all be a bit nicer and hug! Just like in...Barney?? Er...okay, not quite like that, but y'know....

I'm dissappointed. My uber-sweet time I THOUGHT I had wasn't legal. I just BARELY nudged one of the walls on the uphill section on the left side!!! I didn't even THINK to look there but I noticed my ghost acting a bit funny when I chased it yesterday, checked it in the analyzer and found, to my dismay, a sudden decrease in speed right where I thought it nudged the wall.

That's the bad news.

The good news is: I am now FORCED to get a better time since this illegal time is the only one I have "documented" and saved on my memory card! W00t! I know I can do it, too, since my T1 times are about half a second faster and I know how to do the rest of the course equally as well, if not better, than my ghost. :D

Good luck folks and try not to make the same mistake I did!

Hey man, I'm pretty sure you get matched with someone faster, not someone that has a similar time, that wouldn't work out too well... And you're going to be set up with someone by how fast your lap time is this week, and I'm pretty sure CFM said give it your all. Now I think there are going to be lots of people who didn't have time to give it their all, and they're going to forget to tell CFM that they don't want to participate in the team event, so that'll cause some problems, hopefully very minor, so yeah.

Don't be mad! Be GLAD! Haha, no, it's not that big of a problem if you resubmit, they just don't like it when you do it 3 times a day every day. Once or twice a week isn't too bad though. Go re-submit! :)

Kent, no offense, but you have been very on the edge of late... We don't hate you, you didn't make the WRS a bad place for us, you've just had a dispute. No reason for you to leave us now and stop playing in what can be fun. If you're to leave now, that's a bit rash of you. (what does rash mean? I don't know, I'm thinking of making quick decisions that aren't very well thought out) Stay and play damnit! IT'S OK! Gawd. :crazy:

And I get to have another go tonight, after 9 hours of work, and then 1.25 hours of driving, so starting at 1AM tonight... It's going to be LATE, and I'm going to be TIRED, but hopefully I'll be able to somewhat match or best my ghost through T2 and keep it up through the end...
 
That didn't take long.... I ALREADY beat my previous lap time by a hole half second! Which confuses me....

T1-25.135
T2-1'06.642

This run alone has me convinced I may be able to make an extra entire second on my overall lap time!

CFM: Send your final time to me using a Private Message

Sorry, but sending in more than 1 time is therefore not ok.
CFM points out to send in your FINAL time., so there can not be another time after its a final time, per definition..
Also he writes cleary time, and not timeS.. Therefore, in my view, sending in improved times over the course of the week is against the rules....

This thread is not written to split hairs, but to make sure rules are followed by all of us in the same way, and some of us are not getting put in a disadvantage by applying the rules different than others.

I wasn't really going to resubmit my time anyway. It was my choice to submit when I did. I'm actually kind of happy with the time I submitted. I was able to knock off almost 4 seconds since my first fastest.
 
Hi darkwind,
good to see you take it cool! 👍
(Also, if anyone thinks that I'm wrong, please let me know...? Tx! at least we get that sorted then... :confused: )
 
We actually recently discussed this. It is OK to do it. It is not ok to do it on purpose, nor do it three times a day like someone recently said they do. I think it was in the Week 10 thread, or maybe the week 9 thread. If you want to go search through them, go ahead, but I don't feel like wasting my time. It is ok, CFM said so, but it's not something you want to do, but sometimes you just do.
 
It's all a matter of personal preference: be a sport and submit your slower time anyway, or be competitive (putting it neither nicely nor harshly) and submit a new faster time?

It's all about how you view integrity and/or honor and honesty. We could do a whole 'nother discussion on this, but I got a great idea!

Let's not worry about this topic. Just drive and play it cool!
 
I can't beat my ghost. :banghead:
I'm trying so hard but still coming up .1sec short. It's so frustrating. I set a goal and I'm almost there. All I have to do is beat my ghost. It's so not fair. :indiff: :(
