12.946 / 31.142 ... and made a massive .049 at the line :dopey:

This is getting very tough to grab any time from now! and I will probably submit after my final session tonight 👍
Good luck to all :cheers:

110 startline and 109 finishline in the above lap :)
 
110mph at the line is about 177Kmh and I am only getting low 170's. Guess I am going to run a few more laps real quick and see what I can come up with.
Edit:
Yes!!!! I FINALLY(!!!) beat my old best lap that i set on like monday or tuesday. I am soooo happy!! I beat it by .045 seconds, not much at all, but enough to make me very happy. :)
So, with a better time comes better splits.
T1: 13.023
T2: 31.733
Although i didnt even break into the 12's this lap, i am pretty nicely into the 31's for T2 and T1 is close enough to the 12's that it's ok.
 
What kind of speeds are you guys getting out of the last corner if you guys don't mind sharing? Say right at the start/finish line.

Good question.

To see by the numbers it's explaining why my T1 is not so good.
(Although all my T1 on Tsukuba in what's for car are always bad.must be the corner :grumpy:)

171.4 km/h at the start,173.8 km/h finish

Also a nice thing I found out was when changing the km/h to mph in options,also numbers in the replay changed.

so 106.5 mph at the start,108 mph at the finish.
 
Improving T2, but a botched first corner hurt the overall lap. Getting very friendly with the Cone of Death before T2, gotta get that just right to maintain speed and avoid running off the interloop. 230 gears.

13.116
31.521
 
I just ran a lap with 12.935 / 31.086 and beat my best lap by .1 at the line to find out I tickled the bloomin cone at the chicane and nudged it out a tiny bit :ouch::ouch::ouch: ... kept my cool anyway and ran some more laps against this dirty ghost and beat my best save again but not faster than the dirty one! :dunce: .. so I ended up saving it as a session but luckily it was lap 1 👍 ... still chipping away until I get carted away by the men in white coats to the looney bin :dopey:

:cheers:
 
That really is a great question, Suzuki, because that's what I've been using to evaluate my driving. Unfortunately, this has led me to conclude that I am not very fast. I can hit 107 m.p.h. at the finish line, but that's about it. Maybe I'll change gears, but probably not. (210) I've found I can translate into a fast T1 of under 13.10, I just haven't carried that through T2. The chicane has become a favorite part of this track for me due to the challenge of it.
 
Say Mr. P., I hear that if you give the men in white coats money they let you bring your game system with you.
 
my startign speeds were 1'76.3km/h and finishing 1'75.7km/h, time submitted:tup:
 
Time submitted. It took me over 30 laps just to shave .04X seconds from my last best time, I can't say that I could do any better in the time given.
 
New splits for me ... finally got a decent run through the second segment.

13.142
31.453

Despite my best attempt to run over cone one it remained standing after the car had passed. Checking the replay I missed it by only a few inches :D
 
Here are some T's from me. Started with this combo yesterday.

T1: 13.012
T2: 31.355

I use 210km/h gearing. Still room for improvements I think...
 
To the Leaderboard updaters ... I'm using a DS2 and not a DFP guys 👍
Some awesome splits being posted and it should be very interesting at the results :)
Cheers
Ron.
 
Yeah, I can't wait to see what everyone's final lap time is, it should be a close race. The battle for T1 is close, five of us between 13.012 to 13.095. Although T2 is a little more spread out.
 
sjaak has allowed me to try again as i submitted a dirty lap, displacment of cone by bees dick length:crazy: sorry, but remove my splits from the leaderboard

when submitting your replay for this week, please also include the dirty one.
 
OK i got some splits finally that im ok with, i seem to be scratching my head on this one but i think im getting it now just.

12.984/ 31.434 t1 to t2 sucked

i now know where im loosing time and will work on it, .2 to be gained if i get that bit sorted out ;)
 
dangit!!! almost missed this one. got some laps in today...

13.152
31.445

terrible T1 but made up some at T2. hopefully some laps tomorrow.
cool combo sjaak...thanx bunches!! 👍
 
After endless attempts to get under 31.9xx for T2 I finally figured out how to take the two rights before the cones:

13.154
31.625

there might be another tenth I can get, but it feels like this is the one that gets submitted
 
still have dirty lap so i post both vids (no maxdrive, lent to freind), sphinx, understandable that u doubt me, only have myself to blame for that
 
New splits for me:
13.058
31.248
0.1 lost at the last left. I'll submit this time, this race makes me more frustrated than addicted :ouch: , though the chicane idea was great 👍

I'm glad I'm not the only one ... After setting a time a couple of days ago I've done two long sessions and not even gotten close to beating it. I guess I exceeded my own abilities there :) I'd call it done but I know the finish wasn't good as I lost over a tenth compared to a previous save on that stretch and I have visions of all you guys streaming past me at the line.
 
Never got a chance to get back on this and to be honest I dont think I could take the mental torture of that bloomin cone anymore :crazy: the amount of times I had a decent lap scrapped because of just tickling it was disgusting .. anyway I have a saved session replay that was done on lap 1 but against a faster cone touch ghost .. will post it in the results.

Big 'Thanks' to Sjaak for one of the most addictive frustrating combo's I have tried in a long time 👍 Good luck to all in what has gotta be one of the closest results to date :cool: Cya's in week 124
Cheers :cheers:
Ron.

Time Submitted
