GT4 WRS Week 150 : Division 3 Rules OK?

25.769

NEW - Lot's of mistakes on this lap but somehow I beat my ghost just at T1 and T2 and finally by .2 at line. Don't know how.

25.424
57.301

@ 310

Gained .7 on overall time. So I've basically only got the first turn down and the last sector. That left-hander just after T2 is so hard for me to get right. I've only been able to get it when I've already bagged the lap and am not really concentrating. Trying to incorporate that into all my laps but frustration is starting to build with this one.

That is the straight before T2. Thats what happens when you take the double left incorrectly and way wide. I was just running the lap through to the finish until I saw only the sky.

Holy crap! Nice times.

25.173

and I found the 0.3 I forgot to take in T3 so that is good, but seeing my T1, I left another 0.3.

Aaaahhhhhhhh

However,still satisfied with my laptime allthough no gold one I fear.

New board coming up tomorrow I think ... too much t's to process at the mo. On to the console myself now!

Ran this lap tonight ... 25.212 / 55.844 👎 ... It is slower at the line by .037 than my 56.0 ghost

Another .2 off my time and I submit and end my torment

Wicked combo in every sense of the word

Please don't! You're already making us all look bad with those times. You don't really need to find that .2 in the third sector; your win is secure even without your lap being perfect.

 

[KLR142]

Sorry! Corrected my original typos, but it was kicking on for midnight (and a full six-pack of beer!) when I posted splits last night! That should've been a 56.622 of course! There's no way I could claw out a full second and not be somehow able to get close again! Once I get down to shaving 1/10ths & 1/100ths, then it's somewhat unrepeatable, but I can see a low 56.xxx at the most this week, I doubt I can make 55.xxxs, sorry again for the confusion.

Ok, that definitely makes more sense...

YOU're wicked... Jeez man!

I might get in a few more laps here in a bit...

Now, with how fast you're running though, I want to know if there really is as much more in this combo as you say there is... Hekke?

 

[EDK]

Ran some more laps tonight.

Fixed my T1 and last sector, back to working on the T2 again.

Thanks to Ren-Tec-Mike for the leaderboard update. Must have been quite a bit of work 'cause last evening I saw how many posts there were to process and postponed till now. my mate. Edit updated up to post 103

I know the feeling, seeing great splits and then getting overcautious in the last sector trying to preserve the lap without doing anything dumb!

Ran the following splits tonight:

T1 25.090
T2 56.292

Almost 4/10ths quicker at T2 than my previous best, but less than 2/10ths quicker at the line. Damn my fairy-arse final sector!

More work to do methinks! 💡

 

[KLR142]

Tough crowd, this... 👍

Something for the board, more needs to come off, but it's tough, and will take time! Don't think I'll get down to 56.0, but 56.1 could be doable if I spend enough time on it...

25.343(25.2xx)
56.640(56.5xx)

 

[Quiksilver_GT]

Cant seem to get on with this one loseing time somewhere between T1 and T2 not sure where though aint got alot of time on this one this week either but see what happens great times tho guys

 

[Toffe]

Some splits from me:

T1: 25.230
T2: 56.775

That 2nd sector can be improved... I like this combo, El Kapitan with it's sweeping corners is always welcome!

 

[Quiksilver_GT]

ok made abit of improvement finally!!! nice combo just dont like the hill after the tunnel take me off my stride

T1 0'25.440 T2 0'56.733

QUIK!

 

[01GTP]

After a morning session, this is what I came up with. Still using 300 gearing.

25.259
56.338

Improved the overall by .250 also.
I know there are many more tenths to conquer, but for me only a couple and who knows, maybe more. Thats what D3 is all about. As proven by D1 & 2, there is always a couple of tenths for D3 to conquer.

 

[gtbadboy]

I don't know where this will take me by weeks end but, I continue to find a little time here and there. Still smoking those tires way too often and I know it's costing me time.

25.636 (25.3xx once this morning)
57.145 (56.8xx once but of course stuffed it terrible)

Doubt I'll catch Kenny this week.
Maybe I need to bust up MY shoulder.
As I remember your off to the sawbones tomorrow eh Kenny? Good luck with that.

I seem to be smoking the front tires a lot during the last sector. I can see on replays that its from over rotating the wheel, the tires start to slide and by the time I realize it, its over. I know if I had turned the wheel a little less the tires would have gripped better, but I'm still lurnin.

As for the shoulder, went to Dr. this morning and planned surgery for next Friday. Its definite.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot about smoking the tires here.

[Sjaak]

Cool pic Kenny,

I adjusted some so it is a bit lighter on my screen.
I don't know how it is on others because it is just like taste,evrybody has a different pc screen setting.

 

[esh]

That just looks like you're not getting off the throttle through that rough stretch.

 

[01GTP]

Correct, esh. From there to the bottom of the hill.

Well, good luck with that shoulder Kenny, hope it all turns out well!! 👍👍

There is a bright side to all of this. You'll have to sit around and learn to drive with your thumbs................all day!💡

 

[Austin343]

I finally looked really hard at my first good lap that I've been chasing all week, and found that it was indeed dirty, as I ran wide at the hairpin and just clipped the end of the wall. But, I finally improved with a clean lap, although I lost an easy .2 in the last sector on the sharp left.

T1 - 25.446
T2 - 56.478

I think I know what the D1 bronze time will be this week, and I just missed it by a few 100ths with my bad final sector.

Edit: Looking at the leaderboard, I don't know how on earth you guys get first sectors like that, even with more power! But I'm (narrowly and very temporarily) fourth now! Being up there for a bit, at least, is cool. Almost makes me feel like I can keep up with you all. And Steven, didn't Mr P say he was slower at the line with those splits? So his old ones should still be up there, right? Not that it makes any difference to the standings...

[Smallhorses]

Man. I'm so :censored:ing :censored:ed off with myself right now!

Just ran a 25.2xx and 56.2xx which was only barely quicker at T2 than my previous best, but cleaned up the last sector totally and gain 4/10ths at the line! 👍 Followed this ghost around for a while but couldn't seem to better it, so I backed out to check the ghost replay to report exact times here.

That's when I realised I never actually saved that damned ghost. 👎

Now got it all to do again.

 

[superwally]

And, to keep my record perfect, because I always ask this question at this track: is any concrete beyond the curbs/rumbles/paint part of the track? In particular, there is the large concrete area inside the right just before entering the tunnel and concrete beyond what looks like paint on the outside of the left after crossing the bridge.

I'll second that question, and second the sentiment-I can never remember either, sorry to all. I assume no one saw the question in 2078TM's post, thought I'd bring it up again. I need all the help I can get here.

True but I always publish posted splits in Luxy no matter what just to keep the work lean & mean.

new board

EDIT very slight improvement of .3 at s/f: 25.635 - 58.707
VERY frustrating because this combo's got all the components for a successful lap (favvie track, great car, slicks). I know this track so well but still my performance stays so much behind

 

[Ren-Tec]

Ok new splits from me

AHHHHHHH!!!!!! Sorry man! I feel for ya, that totally blows! Well, it's only friday, you have time to go even faster...

still my performance stays so much behind

Keep at it man, don't get discouraged, force yourself to go faster! 👍

Dayum, hot stuff man! We'll see if/when I get time to pick up some speed! This weekend is jam packed though, just checked out some condos/townhouses/house last night, and we(the Volvo club OVT) have an out of town visitor that we're putting on a weekend full of events for.

 

[01GTP]

Little improvement but improvement just the same.

25.354
56.267

Improved overall by .8 seconds though.
Seen a lot of 25.1xx's and a 25.0xx's, but thats real close to my best T2 all week. Can improve overall by at least .5 second if I put it all together, maybe .75.

Some quick splits there, Kenny.

Good luck to the rest of us.
