Slight improvement.

It took me a while to understand the first sector, but I think I have it sorted now. The rest however, is still proving to be a problem. :dopey:

15.665
55.395
 
Same problem here, Jerry :irked:

15.748
55.821

Think I know the reason. Must have been 2005 the last time I ran this track :lol:
 
Some great times coming from you guys especially alex from Divsion 2 all the way up there, dont know how you all do it :scared:

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

T1 0'15.963
T2 0.56.981

QUIK!
I'm just as surprised as you are. I think it might be just because I actually like this combo so I can sit there for 2 hours straight without getting bored.

Keep pushing though, you're only half a second behind, it's not that much.

I do hope to improve that time though, so watch out. :mischievous:
 
2nd session produced some satisfying results for me...got into the '55 club.

T1-15.999
T2-55.519
210 topspeed

have seen 15.759 first sector but haven't been able to duplicate it yet...just seem to pinball thru the first corner trying to get it lower...arrrrgh!!!! :banghead:

very nice times posted up so far gents...good to see such a great turn out for such a dirty event...lol

lol alex my arch rival :sly: im sure u will improve that time me on the other hand may not, dirts never been my area but ill have another session before tuesday if i can :scared:

QUIK!
 
well had another run at it and managed to destroy my old time by .388:tup:

used 200 top speed, optimal i feel, only thing i did differently is a quick down shift to 5th for the last right kink before the line, gives u more power

15.605
54.226:tup:
 
Incredible laps coming in from the aliens but also Alex ... great sliding !

LUXY

Jerome wasn't triggered yet to do a proper -20% lap :sly: c'mon mate show us what you're made of 👍

EDIT a tip/advice to the (new) leaderboard readers. The 'Tuning' line is currently displayed as follows:

Tuning: Arcade Mode / Time Trial / Power: -20% (240hp) / Weight: -10% (1107kg) / Tyre Type: Dirt / post 69

The end of the line is supplied with the number of the last post of which the t's have been processed. Please do not edit your post in the thread before that post number. Thanks!
 
Actually been spending time at the ATR II series :D Great combos so far, great work Erik! I may get back to this one but will have to be on the DS2 :ouch: lol.

First splits.
16.384
59.074
Using the ds2 untill further notice.

Trying to get into the 58's, but it has been elusive so far.
The theme of "Thread the Needle" might have been better for this combo.. It is really tight in places.
I'm praying for a better lap though.
 
First splits. Fun combo. 👍 :D

16.674
58.774

I can go faster, but not without a wall tap here or there. :ouch:

Back with more later.

Kevin
 
Thanks for the advo Jerome ;) I forgot to post my last set of splits so here they are.

15.775
56.238

I've been just under 56 a few times but deemed dirty :( I'll run some now and see if I get lucky.
 
a nice lovely little improvment..

16.233
56.587

That's it for me this week.

I did a session last night, got worse splits but a better lap-time.

I can't seem to beat my ghost at all now though. Sometimes every 10 laps or so I'll pull ahead at the t1 time, but never a full lap. I have no idea how I pulled a 55.8 T2 one time. It just seems ridiculous, and I'm actually starting to think it was some kind of glitch, because I just can't see any way to do it again.


I'll have another session before I submit, but I think I've already gone 110%.

I've had pretty much the same problems alex ive maxed out seen better times but worst T2's an just seem to mess up, so looks like ill be posting my splits which are on luxy!

But all the splits on luxy are starting to pan out and strating to seeing a pattern.
 
Second session today yielded -

16.356
57.264

And I think I might have more left in the tank. :crazy:

If Jerry does not post 153 this afternoon, I will probably stay right on this one. 👍

:cheers:

:lol: I would have, but I was out of town on business from Tueday AM through Friday night. Just got in my first 2 sessions. 👍

I don't get to run on Monday's since the deadline here is 2pm and I leave for work at 6am and do not return home until about 6 pm. So have at it tomorrow, but I will see what I can dredge up tonight. :sly:

:cheers:
Kevin
 
Kevin, I guess you didn't notice that the deadline has been moved to Tuesday, the 25th. You can play on Monday :sly: By the way, Sphinx, will it remain like this or will it go back to Monday?
 
Sorry mates but with RL and Erik's excellent ATR2 (and subsequently the WRS qually rerun) I haven't got much time for 152 this week. Some of you might also know that non-tarmac driving in GT4 and I are not too big fans. But seeing LUXY lots of you disagree :lol: which is good so please continue having fun in this combo and I'll see you next week at SS5. Does anyone btw know if this track is situated in a RL city or is it virtual?

EDIT actually improved my WRS qually by a whopping 3.2 seconds and that in the first lap of my effort to improve. Almost scared to pm it to Jerry as I might even get faster the coming days/weeks (lol! so it looks like I did improve over the last two years). Only need .303 to get to the Div2 cutoff time so I will continue to try.

Thanks Carlos! 👍 :cheers:

I did not notice. Last ditch tomorrow pm it is. :dopey:
 
Sphinx, will it remain like this or will it go back to Monday?

Tuesday is a lot easier for me to get everything done, so it looks like it will stay Tuesdays for the time being. However, if it's problem for many here, I can always try and fit it in on Mondays?
 
A couple of photos for fun. I have no experience at this, so sorry if I mess it up. :scared:
