31.634 / 1'01.534 ... made .2 on my laptime but I think I can take a tiny bit more with some luck :) ... Great splits being posted guys!

Minolta what can I say other than Awesome!!

I as well like the 330 gears...it just limits out at the end of the main straight and in a few other places maybe a bit early but I feel it gives a better drive in 3rd off the corners.
 
Jusy starting to the hang of this again, it's been a while:

New Splits:

0'31.780
1'01.969

Div 1
DS2
 
OK...i had the normal setup with the 380 top speed and i just couldnt go below a certain time basically because i was losing the edge in some places in the track...

I changed it to 330 (after the reading of some posts in here:tup:) and the car became more controllable...

New splits
T1/ 0.33.197
T2/ 1.05.404

Those after the first lap that I made the change. A lot more room for improvement.👍 I somehow saved the final time because I was very fast at the last part.

edit: i am using DS2 btw
 
Too much to do today. I have a feeling gtbadboy just might catch me. I hope he brings some Woodford's!!👍

No racing for the ol' man today. Left the house for Balto this morning, just got back and I'm bushed! I'll have a few hours tomorrow before we leave so, I think your safe this week. Woodford's, surely you jest. There's always Woodford's in this house and your welcome to join me any time!:)
 
Some mid week times. I wasn't gaining too much time on the higher placed d2 guyes so I swithched to much shorter 330 gearing. I was running 350-380 just for the stability. I figured if it was working for you other guys it would probably work for me. Now I really feel that twitch that the car has. I will have to do some work to get in the 1.02's. But I dropped 7 tenths in about only 3-4 laps with the 330 gearing. Definitely won't be putting up a gold time this week, but it was nice to use the AR Max again even if it was just for one week! I think I'll try the DF this week as well when I get some time this weekend. I've just been in a DS2 mood recently. Chasing...


t1-32.650
t2-1.03.673
 
I improve my time...

T1 31.670 (best .511 :eek:)
T2 1.01.133 (best .102) 1.00.9xx is possible! :eek:

I have yet 2 tenths to improve... 👍

Very nice! I can match you to T1 pretty much most laps now with my best being 31.530 ... but after T1 it all goes wrong and my best so far at T2 is 1'01.482 :( and yet to get them together in the same save :ouch:

I will no doubt try some more laps before the deadline but alas I am possibly going to have to face the facts that I cant match your pace on this one matey! ... it was fun trying anyway ;)
btw .. not too sure are you using the wheel and brake + accel together in the tight turns or are you using DS2 and fighting for all the speed you can muster like myself?

Wicked splits mate :cheers:
Ron.
 
seems my replay problem is with the max drive, went to chuk's and confirmed it, unfortunatly I didn't try that 1st as I formatted a new uber I guess I may have not needed
while down there I did some driving

t1 33107
t2 105118
340 gearing

I agree mate 👍👍 Nice time btw:sly:

Last update for now before i go to sleep :dopey:

T1/ 0.32.674
T2/ 1.04.709 (bit more carefull here and not so aggressive can gain me about 1-1.5secs i guess)

I will try till the time limit to be more carefull and really on the edge to see what it will come out. GN all^^

Hi Mr P...

I use brake + accelerator but in this session not is much important... indeed, a lot of time! 👍

I use DS2 and gear 310... 👍

Hey Kenny - Better Splits now that you got to use the wheel again.

If that replay is still around, post it and I will verify. Only home through Friday night, though.

Here we go again, mirroring one another.

My first decent splits, during a hectic pre-XMAS week with maybe a session and a last ditch effort to go -

33.187
1:05.097

330 Gearing

Ron - Great Splits so far, Merry XMAS and Good Luck!!

Later
Kevin
 
not much time to race this week. here's some improvement during anoter half an hour session yesterday, before helping my wife with Christmas candies.....

t1 33.561
t2 1.05.714

Hopefully racing again.
Ciao
 
My t2 is a lot better than my t1. Need to figure out how to get under 32. I used 330 gearing, no TCS, DFP, and ended up with

t1 32.450
t2 1:02.550

New splits
t1 32.145
t2 1:02.299
 
Bigracer that is one nice picture, loving it. It looks like people are really starting to kick it into high gear now, some fast times I see.
 
Nice Pic Stephen.

I know it is only one more thing to take time and effort to administer, but I was looking through some of the archive threads and it sure was neat to see people's creative efforts with photo mode on some of the weeks.

💡

Sjaak - Maybe people can post suggestions in the regular weekly race thread, like Stephen did here?

Either way, again, nice job Stephen.
 
Just had another go at this and ended up with a much slower T1, but with an improved T2: :rolleyes:

0'31.950
1'01.786
 
Well guys and gals, its been fun but I am submitted for the week. I'll be gone until the 26th. No further improvement that was put together in one save... :crazy:

Hats off to Minolta_88 and Mr. P amazing driving...any way that we could get a video replay up after the deadline? I can't watch PAL replay's on my PS2 and I would love to see your laps! :cheers:

Everyone be safe this weekend! 👍

Yes good idea,it always nice to see pics of the weeks race.
I will use them when I can.👍
 
Like 006 I'm off and packing for our trip. Time will be submitted following this post as I can't string 3sectors together today for some reason. :banghead: More than likely I'll be taking a week off unless the weather permits an earlier arrival back home. A Merry and Happy to all :cheers:and we'll see you next year.

Props of course to our resident aliens headed lately by Minolta.:bowdown: Some amazing times being posted this week. Maybe "Santa" will bring me some talent and leave it under the tree.:lol:

If any of you are travelling ...... be safe. If you're not travelling.......be safe any way! :cheers:
 
I improved my final time but I had a slower T1 sector and a faster T2 ....:S:scared:

T1/ 0.32.771 :ouch:
T2/ 1.04.481 ....

the above with 330 top speed and the TCS ON only :crazy: (yeah i know i should be ashamed...)

This car is driving me nuts ...:scared:
 
Changed gearing from 330 to 340. Very small improvement on my T2 time, but gained about 0.8 sec on my final time :D

new splits
T1: 32.546
T2: 1'04.053
 
thanks for the kind words about the little pic i posted. i thought the photocomp was a nice way to work around the wrs challenge too.

here's the updated board. this morning i tried real hard but couldn't improve my lap by more than a few thousands, so my goal for this week (stay ahead of ron2) was unfortunately unrealised :sly: which is quite allright as being part of wrs is always fun anyway 👍
 
0'31.732
1'01.900

Slightly slower t2 but a good last sector makes a slightly better lap.

Minolta, that 310 gear must be a mistake, the car won't go higher than 297kmh and you lose some tenths even before the first corner.

It's been a while since we had our last GT mode race, maybe we could race some soon?

Edit:
0'31.964
1'01.976
0.021 at the line

The slower the splits, the better the finish! I don't believe I can make a better last sector than this, now it's time to get what I've lost at the first one. I'll play a little more right now and might come with something better.

Edit2:
0'31.721
1'01.703
But only 0.101 overall. I've seen several 31.6's and I left 0.2 at the last sector.

I can't stop playing this, I'm loving this week!!

Edit3:
0'31.671
1'01.729
And another 0.119.

There's still 0.1 for me in each sector. But that's it for today, it's late and I'll try to get the rest later.
