If only this week was a week earlier, I'd have time :(

But just yesterday, school started, today job, tomorrow physics-course. Shame, the Celica is my favourite racecar, and Motegi is a good course...

Nice choice on the handicap, now the lower divisions' members have good chances of beating the top guys 👍

Love the handicap combo! 👍

Aaww! Boo-hoo!

Oh shut up and get racing you yellow bellied... er...... Lemon! :P
 
Just had a quick go at this and I like it 👍

30.596
55.962
1'18.119

Much much room for improvement, just need to find my brake points, the brakes are soo heavy :dopey: oh, and I used 260 tops

EDIT: new splits, no mater how well I think I take a sharp one here I'm left feeling like I could have gone faster...

30.031
55.480
1'17.135
 
I couldn't wait to begin racing this week, so I ran some laps with the DS2 (I usually play with a DFP) just to try it. I don't have laptimes, but my best splits were 29.9, 55.2 and 1'17.1. My times will be probably better with the wheel.

I love these grippy JGTC 300's 👍 They handle really well and the brakes are so good that sometimes it's hard to shift from 6th gear to 3th quicker than the braking time :dopey:
 
Had some nice laps on this as Motegi is such a relaxed drive and the Weddsport is so easy to drive :) best save so far has ..

29.732 / 54.790 / 1'16.488 ( been slightly faster @ T1 and T2 but thats my best T3 yet )

There's still a few tenths for me to claw away at 👍
Yep another great Combo Sjaakie ;)
:cheers:
 
I've been runing this off and on throughout the day and just found a little more time :dopey:

29.831
55.008
1'16.842

broke too much for the second part of the 's' and also missed a mark near the end, still some left for me but it's not easy to grab...
 
well its a new week...after last weeks "disaster" for me...its good to start out from the ground up with a new car/track combo!! looks great too!!

29.760
54.807
1'16.508
 
cool combo. I guess I should have spent more time at motegi!
 
excellent week again. motegi is very difficult cos all the angles are different and the braking points nasty to prepare for - especially when you got your tube in the sunlight.

bigracer +16 (250kph) 30.507 - 56.131 - 1.18.469

leaderboard updated
 
Now with my wheel (and top speed 250):
29.868
54.826
1'16.720 (totally screwed the hairpin by braking too early)
and a nice last sector.
 
well lol it looks like i need to work on my T1 :(, thank you guys :(:(

0'30.042 (ouch)
0'50.040
1'16.703

a quick test thou
 
I Really like the combo, once i grab a G25 and build a cockpit i am going to join in on the racing.
 
T1: 30.368
T2: 55.849
T3: 1'17.779

Lots of time to take off yet, but I'm finding the super softs to be unpredictable.. Sometimes they grip really well and other times you find yourself just sliding off at the same corner. They seem to really respond to downforce, so the faster you go the more grip you get, except it's a LOT more grip..

Just got to get used to them, I guess..

EDIT: New splits..

T1: 30.087
T2: 55.358
T3: 1'17.498
 
OK got me some new splits after 10 more laps in which i nailed a good one ;).

0'29.924
0'54.893
1'16.460/ 250 gearing
 
Great splits Mike 👍 I was just running also and got a new save with similar splits to my old save ..

29.781 / 54.778 / 1'16.424 ( took just under .2 off my lap due to a crazy skin of my teeth last section ;) ) I've seen a few 54.6's and 1'16.3's so there's not a lot left for me to collect ... maybe .2!
Will have fun trying anyway :cheers:

btw .. using 290 auto
 
Funny you should say that Ron, i got some new ones too :) (bad T2 to T3 thou, lost .1) got .2 at the line ;)

0'29.767
0'54.786
1'16.433
 
The best splits I've done so far, or are they. Finding the right gear ratio was tough but it has payed of so far with a massive improvement in time over the default.

T1: 0'30.917
T2: 0'56.730
T3: 1'18.781
 
new splits again!!!

29.611
54.657
1'16.265

have a run with 29.593/54.465/1'15.941 splits but slower final. this is the ghost im chasing currently. good luck all!! 👍
 
marginal improvement after many tries. at first it looked like a very high gearing also worked. perhaps the car has a big torque band? but 260 seems to work best in the end.

30.172 - 56.224 - 1.18.215 - .6 faster at the s/f

very good doctoring who build this track! every curve is different from the other.
 
Had another go and found a few good things...

29.783
54.635
1'16.240

I've had some better t1's and this lap I took the 'safe' route in the chicane :dopey: still looking for about .2 at the line.

I personally couldn't match splits like those if I had a month to race this combo :scared:
Looks like D2 have it in the bag this week for sure :) my best T3 so far is 1'16.303 and that was really pushing! .. pretty much to my limit and it still never beat my best save at the line :indiff:

Good luck all 👍
 
Looks like I pulled a rabbit out of a hat, then he got away :P

29.613
54.482
1'16.046

I don't think I could duplicate that t3 again, and while admireing it I proceeded to miss my next brake point :crazy: and grampa'd it throught the chicane.

I'm pretty sure that I'm still behind the d1 guys :ouch: I never underestimate the ability of some to close out laps with super last sectors.
 
I demand an enquiry into these out of reach handicap differences :dopey: D1 are good ... but these are totally mismatched :sly:

Nah only messin :P .. but in all seriousness! .. no way anyone other than a D2 driver will win this week! .. unless Dan has his rocket skates with him ;)

I'll run once more then submit as its gonna be like flogging a dead horse :cheers:
Cheers
Ron.
