GT4 WRS Week 152 : On a Wing and a Prayer @ Cathedral

[imfaster2!]

cool!!! thanx Sphinx...splits stand as posted before...btw yours are very nice indeed. lol

 

[Perfect Balance]

It's true, I've been known to have my moments on dirt. Isn't that right, Ron?

In my session just now, I actually had gotten a T2 of 55.8 (with a t1 somewhere in the 16 second range) and stuffed it on the jump right after. I was really pissed about that one.

Half an hour of playing still didn't bring up anything near as good, I dunno how I pulled off something like that.

Anyway, new splits.

T1: 16.372
T2: 56.613


And a shot for everyone:




This combo is great. 👍

The only thing I don't like is that even though I try to take the same line, and do the same thing every lap, I've had 2 laps where I've been WAY ahead of my ghost and hit the wall somewhere, and I can't recreate that lap again because I don't know what I'd done differently.

 

[steven]

Thanks for the kinds words Erik 👍

Board updated

 

[Andy2125]

Dirt... besides the license tests i've never driven on it before, I think. How does it work? Somehow managed to get these splits:

T1: 16.481
T2: 58.933

Anyone has some tips on how too take that super chicane?

 

[NielsG]

Thanks for the continuous updates, Steven. 👍

You did mix up the digits from my T2 though.

It's only 57.424 and not 57.242. Just thought I would mention it, even though I like your version better.

 

[Mr P]

Ran some laps on this and was way off Jerry at first .. but after sticking with it and a good hour later its coming together .. my best save so far has 16.024 / 55.315

I've seen 15.820 as my best at T1 so there's room to improve by T2 and hopefully push a 54 out with some luck and better speed in the turns! Great combo Jerry and nice splits old man 👍




edit: a few more laps and my best save has 15.782 / 55.162

 

[gtbadboy]

Rallye in GT ... meh but I guess I'll give it a go just to keep Erik Ron happy

Steven, Steven, Steven! Life is too short to worry about keeping other people happy. Run because you want to or stay home.
Using Erik or myself as an excuse or a crutch.......... I'm going to be happy whether your here or not, no offense intended.

Nice going mate. Something to aim for I suppose.

None taken, Ron, Ron, Ron I was only referring to your continuous pleas not to cherrypick but always participate to improve your GT4 skills. The game makes me happy anyway, and be sure I'll be around for a long long time, like it or not

a few more laps and my best save has 15.782 / 55.162

Well what did I say

Thanks for the continuous updates, Steven. You did mix up the digits from my T2 though. It's only 57.424 and not 57.242. Just thought I would mention it, even though I like your version better.

Fixed and updated.

 

[Risei]

Looks good, but what about the 2 wheels on the track rule, if my memory serves me correctly theres a jump?

 

[Hugo Boss]

I was only referring to your continuous pleas not to cherrypick but always participate to improve your GT4 skills.

What is that tone good for, if you don't mind me asking?

Regarding the combo, I like the -20% power. Gives me a better possibility to find the racing lines on a rally track

@Risei: don't worry about the jump, the rule is to have two wheels above the track. Only watch out for the walls! Also welcome to the WRS

 

[georgetheracer]

Great to in the dirt once more!!!

17.019
58.581

👍

 

[Perfect Balance]

New splits, woot!

T1: 16.232
T2: 56.479


I have no freaking idea how I randomly pulled a 55.8xx that one time before stuffing it into the wall.

EDIT: I also have no idea where you guys are finding mid 15's in the first sector. It's ONE FRIGGEN CORNER and a straight!

Wow.

 

[gtbadboy]

A few laps before dinner:

17.462
1'00.914

Edit: George, you animal you.👍👍

 

[steven]

What is that tone good for, if you don't mind me asking?

There's a small diff in Ron's vs. my attitude against WRS combos in that Ron does ALL combo's in order to enjoy & improve while I prefer to (sort of) pick & enjoy, if I may. I respect his attitude and hope he does mine. BTW there's no tone Hugo, just a plain comment on his post.

 

[holl01]

ran a couple of hours last night with this addictive little combo, switched top speeds more than i lapped, eventually settled with 220 as the weapon of choice, but 210 gives similar results.

15.696 (.505!)
54.565

well, i'll try some more as i didnt get the last part right:tup:

Essentially, use 3rd gear for the first left, change to 4th at 99ishkm/h as u go over the little rise before the big jump, switch to 5th gear there. right-left in 3rd, switch to 4th as u take the right kink, hairpin in 2nd, right hairpin in 3rd due to exit speed priorities, sweeping left in 3rd, last corner stay in 5th.

seen 2 low .5xx T1 splits, but they're hard to come by!

You see these can seem like great tips but i do the same thing with the gear and gear ratio but come up with 56.3 lol. No offence but there just more to it then the gear your in, i just can't seem to grasp the fine details

 

[Jump_Ace]

Well its been a while since I have spewed dirt out of my mouth, the first half of wait-what track is this again? hahaha, been SOOOO long since I've been here 👍 First 18min literally before the future Mrs came home late from work, here is what I have so far

T1 - :15.372 (seen a 15.1 once too )
T2 - :55.567 (can easily see another .5 in the middle of the track, main the LOOOONG sweeping left)

Jerome

 

[steven]

Board updated and welcome back Jerome 👍 You even beat Dan in his t1!!!

 

[Andy2125]

New splits at top speed 300
T1: 16.360
T2: 57.960

 

[Mr P]

Wicked T2 from Dan! I have matched your T1 a few times but barely managed a 54.9 last night with a touch so close to the finish line it was sickening to bin it 👎

Jerome is that T1 for real or is it a typo? damn fast matey? way to go anyway and looks like it will be a successful week even though Rally is not the flavour of the month

 

[Jump_Ace]

Ya well I goofed there m8's I meant to do -20% but out of habit I did +20%, so scratch that lap, I'll be back later Sorry jerry!

Jerome

 

[Sphinx]

Jerome

LOL, I been sat here for 30 minutes just trying to figure out how the hell you were getting that T1.

Now I know.

Unlucky mate, we all do it. 👍

 

[Strop]

I think this falls under the category of necessary but not sufficient. I could follow this to the letter and not get under 1:00 at T2. Something about sprinklers and grass being wet

 

[2078TM]

Ran a few laps last night. At the beginning I was starting to think that all the times in luxy were typos; for the first half hour I could do no better than 17.4 / 1:02.xxx. And then I started to figure out some lines.

15.957
56.818

One corner I just can't get comfortable with is the left hairpin after the bridge after T1 . If I try to hang the tail out it spins out and otherwise it just plows the front end . I must be losing anywhere from 0.75 to a full second there.

 

[gtbadboy]

This will have to do until I get home:

16.692
59.764

Ya sometimes it really SUX being human...unlike Dan over there

Jerome

 

[CMir]

Another good looking combo, my first hour got me these splits:
15.709 (.691)
55.161
Top speed 220 and using the gears like Holl. I lost a bit after T1 and another bit at the last sector, so another 0.3 will make me fairly happy. 54.5 is, however, out of my reach, a high 54 will be very good for me.

Edit: I just noticed I'm running VERY close to Mr P!

 

[steven]

Ya well I goofed there m8's I meant to do -20% but out of habit I did +20%, so scratch that lap, I'll be back later Sorry jerry!

Well Jerome mate until you provide us with proper t's I cannot do other than put you at the bottom of the list ITMT. Hope this triggers you to come up with something decent very quickly If it's unbearable you can change it back yourself as you know your way around in Luxy.

LUXY

 

[Quiksilver_GT]

Some great times coming from you guys especially alex from Divsion 2 all the way up there, dont know how you all do it

we'll just ran my second session and came up with these which surprised me...

T1 0'15.963
T2 0.56.981

QUIK!
