GT4 WRS Week 132 : MINI @ Autumn Ring

[chukabilly]

Yessir, daan. The idea of multiple posting as a very bad thing is deeply burned into the brain of chuk.

[/response to rant]

Heh, it's nice to get a response... A warning would've been quite nice, but here's something that reminds me every time I log in that I'm a bad person:


Now, I went back and did some more racing to get back on topic...
T1:
T2:

Actually, nevermind. I'l stick with my splits that are up there. 10 more laps and I can't beat them, and I'm not enjoying it either. Done with the combo, submitting now.

 

[Jump_Ace]

Can the infraction ever be removed from the pm box? I see it never expires, can any exceptions be made? I personally think Kyle deserves to get it removed if at all possible

Got back early from my trip and ran a dozen or so laps:

29.390
1'09.445

 

[Thirdeye]

My lousy splits thus far (after about 3 laps, all aids off, manual transmission):
T1: 29.595
T2: 1'10.532

 

[chukabilly]

just saw a 1'07.5xx. must keep racing.

 

[Clemi_uk]

just saw a 1'07.5xx. must keep racing.

Slow down there chuck!! Clemi's got no more time to spend on this & would like to return to his winning ways ... well truth be told i'm still waiting for arora & 2078TM to "ka-boom" me with their splits

but wouldn't it be nice to get that Div win... race on:tup:

I don't know - I think you're safe from me - that's an awfully stout T1 and I've yet to break into the 28.7's, much less 28.5

 

[gtbadboy]

welcome back gtbadboy. glad you made it. 👍

thanks "chuk" I doubt i can keep up with you "nutmegers" but we'll give 'er a go.

I need to find my DFP. It's in one of those many boxes in the basement after moving. I should have left it out and seperate but, the movers packed it.............somewhere!

Edit: Chuk, I gaither from the # of posts you're either un-employed, un-married, both, or you're a street person with computer.

 

[chukabilly]

T1= 28.685 T2= 1'07.653
brewing coffee
racing on

well, gtbadboy, I've had the last couple weeks to myself and have used them for racing, obviously, but the fun is about to end. My wife closes on her new restaurant this week, and then all hell breaks loose. That's why I'm trying so hard this week. This is my one shot, and I'm determined to get a podium in D2. Every tenth is precious now, but I can see clemi-uk. If I stick close to his time, or hopefully beat it, I'm pretty sure my time will hold up in results. Now to get there. Racing on!!

 

[CMir]

Every tenth is precious now

Every tenth is always precious, if you want to aim for a good time, you'll have to know where is every tenth on the track and how many tenths you are losing at each corner 👍 ... which is what I'm not doing for T1

 

[Sjaak]

Just finished with preparing week 133
I think it is good....but he....I think all my combo's are good

Till tomorrow.👍

 

[EDK]

Got back from my trip and just ran for anohter 30 minutes or so. Not too much change in splits, but I found a lot in the last sector and improved my overall time by 1.5 or so. New Splits -

T1 - 29.607
T2 - 1:09.557

I think I have another 1.00 in me, but not sure if I can catch mtbiker.

Finding traction is the key! A straight wheel and early shift points seem to help.

Kevin

EDIT:

Ran for a little while longer, really liking this combo. Once you get the hang of the throttle, it turns in nicely. 👍

T1 - 29.156
T2 - 1:08.960

(Still no TCS)

 

[01GTP]

hey sjaak
i like these combos too
i don't know how you come up w/ them
but i think they are awesome 👍👍
and for the rest of the racers i will be racing tonite
getting better w/ tcs but can't catch my ghost w/out it

10pm can't seem to break into the 28's or 108's
had some but dirty by inches on left after T2
no tcs this session

 

[chukabilly]

WHEW!! A few hours of racing and only .15 to show for it. My first split was the same, but now my fast lap T2 = 1'07.701. I've seen about four tenths that I could possibly do, as I've had a 1'07.507 and missed a shift, and that was with a 29.0x first split. So I guess clemi-uk won't have to worry about me, as the missus is due home and it's a Saturday night. Of course, she's begun doing her licenses, so maybe she'll go for some seat time together. I have a good life.

Oh yeah, definitely sweet combos, sjaak, though the Ruf was, well, rough.

hi there,
i'm updating the leaderboard but i cant find your specs, so please tell me what div you are and if you're using dfp or ds2 please?
thanks - steven

Heh, been a while since I've seen Thirdeye around, good to see ya man! Steven, he's in D3, which it does actually say in his sig, but not sure on the wheel or sticks. 👍

 

[chukabilly]

Oh baby, come to poppa! my first 1'07.4xx, but alas, it's dirty by a foot in T1. Poop. I'm gonna chase that ghost, because I've beaten that T1 before, (28.622), but never finished the lap. I just might catch clemi-uk after all, because now the missus is talking to my mother!!! RACE ON!!!

Cool, she just hung up! She just happens to be my biggest fan, so with her support, let the racing continue!!! As I said, I have a good life.

p.s. the missus is going to try!! Please amend the former to read: "I have a GREAT life!"

 

[Snod Blatter]

New splits..

T1: 28.889
T2: 1'08.173

Have seen 28.7xx in T1 but no idea how I did it... Not much more time left for me to take off though, I don't think

 

[chukabilly]

It's mid-night now, she's gone to bed. Still I race on. Still nothing more than a few hundredths one way or the the other. The Sunday Morning Racers start in six hours, and I'm hoping to succeed although all evidence points elsewhere.

 

[Thirdeye]

I was in Division 3, using the DS2. I last performed in Week 129 with the Falken Skyline. Before that, I hadn't participated since somewhere in the week 50's.

 

[Thirdeye]

Thanks! I'm surprised someone actually remembers me.

I'm done.
Way to much to do today

Good luck to all.

 

[allshonogo]

Okay, here are my splits. Didn't do too well with this combo, just can't seem to get a feel for the Mini.

T1: 29.565
T2: 1'09.505

Can't wait to see next weeks' combo
Go sjaack68!

 

[EDK]

New splits from a quick session this morning.

T1 - 29.032
T2 - 1:08.267

Time submitted.

Hopefully these hold up in the suddenly more competitive D3.


On to week 133 for me. I love the Laguna Seca, so look out this week! 👍

Later
Kevin

 

[chukabilly]

All right, sjaak, I don't know if these will do it, but as of 10:30 p.m., my latest splits are:
T1= 28.639
T2= 1'07.548

I may have an hour or two left in me on this one, but I'm soon off to Laguna with a satisfied feeling for this week. At least I've done my best.
