GT4 WRS Week 122 : Official results

[KLR142]

You're right ... but I'm confused because I checked this when I joined a few weeks back and I'm sure it was 10AM PST and now it's 11AM PST and we haven't gone on or off daylight saving time ?

Well, this week the deadline WAS 10AM PST... (Will it always be so, Sjaak?)

That's what LSD settings of 40/20/18 will do for you... Way different to what everyone else was using, it seems. I didn't understand why everyone was using LSD settings which made the car understeer so much... But anywho, hope this is the right replay!

I've never heard of someone using so much preload, or whatever that's called for the first number of the LSD settings. Did you really find that having that number high helped it turn? Usually 5/5/5 settings provide the best rotation, but they need to be played with in order to keep wheels from spinning when under acceleration, and to keep the rear end in check when turning on the brakes, and with lift throttle oversteer.

Strop, the reason some were using the autoset at 1 is because of the tranny trick-set final drive to max, set autoset to 1, then move the final drive ratio back to where you hit max rpm at the end of of the longest straightaway. It seems to give better acceleration that just using the autoset to do the same without sacrificing top speed.

Yeah, I usually use a more complicated version of the so called "tranny-trick" which makes the lower gears longer(more usable) and the higher gears closer together. Was definitely the fastest(or damn close to it) way down the drag strip in GT2. The thing with using it in normal road courses is that it needs to fit the track, ie. what gear you're in in the turns and if you need to shift or not. The other thing in this combo though that I noticed, is that the car likes to shift BEFORE redline... So my gearing was adjusted a bit to not get too near the redline in 6th gear. But I ran out of time to perfect the gearing, let alone the suspension tuning.

Thanks for the kind words Ron

And I'd agree with Sjaak, it would be nice if others check more often 👍

Yes, I found it helped a lot... I fitted my car with a rollcage though, which seemed to make it react completely differently to LSD changes compared to the standard car. With 5/5/5 it just understeered everywhere and wanted to go straight, couldn't stand it at all...

So make a choice,

1-skip the replay uploading,sure makes life easy.

2-Continue this way but make sure once in a while to down-load a replay from a fellow racer and keep the WRS professional.

Let's keep the system... please. The WRS has never been cleaner and better than these days. 👍

As a rule of thumb I always check a replay when I submit a replay, and have noticed other racers do the same. 👍
If everybody did, everything would run much more smoothly. 👍

The race stewards already works hard enough to please us week after week. Let's be reasonable to them. 👍

Interesting indeed... I haven't really played with that part of the LSD setting much, I guess I'll have to from now on! I also had the cage installed, but didn't think to toy with the initial setting. Good to know!

Here here!

One of the reasons it's never been cleaner(not necessarily better, IMO) is because there are less racers than there have been in the past. Which is one of the reasons why I don't really think it's that much better, because the participation is pretty low, compared to the first 50 or so GT4 WRS races anyway.

I also noticed the assists on Cmir's replay and cursing myself for not getting a chance to test that set up

I think the aids were especially helpful on the double left, without them I had a 1'04.4, not much of a difference but still a couple of tenths.

I checked Sjaak's replay and it's clean.

 

[arora]

rmk is clean 👍 nice one, and the double left makes a difference.

I agree, I think we should stick with it.
I'm happy to check a few replays each week, PAL only though.

Here's mine.
