erm, there's a man stuck to the back of your car in the second pic....

Maybe he's weighing the back down a bit, might want to get rid of him, you'll go faster.

:irked:👍






(GT4 still takes a nice foto, doesnt it, well done)
 
hey guys i have a question i did a lap and cant tell if touched the wall or not im 80% sure it didnt but i dont know.

I've checked the data log and theres no sharp drop in speed but car is very close to the wall and may or just find grip any help?
 
I had a moment were I thought my fastest lap was dirty, when I changed camera angle it showed that I wasn't touching any walls, just the car was looking for grip that wasnt there and was causing the car to loose small amounts of speed.

When it doubt, view it from different angles to get the best perspective.

If you're not 100% sure, consider it dirty and run again. 👍

however, if you've run out of time and want to know for sure if it's clean before you submit a slower time, then send it to me now and I'll check it for you.👍 👍

Again however, I don't want to go through the long process of checking a replay and notifying the driver that it's clean, only for the driver to turn around and say; 'I now have a faster and cleaner run, but thanks for checking anyway'. 👎 :grumpy:

Thanks For you help waynz i did check it and it was clean, but then i beat it by .250 better at the line aswell by a full second thanks mate!

Had a couple of hours this morning thought id never catch Alex up but did :sly: May give it another hour later maybe, Luxy dont seem to be workin anyone else get this problem at this momment in time!

T1 - 0'16.102
T2 - 0'56.110
 
Just so no one thinks I've been baggin' it in DivIII, I lost my DSL line Friday and just got it back 30 min. ago.:crazy: Seems my phone company out here in the sticks doesn't work on Saturdays. :grumpy:

16.330
57.755

I'll submit this afternoon after a few more laps. Great combo by the by. I just sit here and run lap after lap. Nice one Jerry. 👍👍

Edit: Luxy is down for me as well. 10:00 a.m. Eastern.
 
I had a morning session today and got a bit faster.

16.172
58.186

Still have 24 hrs left. I might use them.
I am happy with my ds2 lap though.
Saturday and Sunday LAN gave me some confidence with using the ds2 again. With this and the ATR combo being so different I wasn't sure what I was feeling. Having raced with Jake and georgetheracer (and a little presto), I was happy with my performance. I could actually drive with the ds2. It is hard going back to the ds2 after using the dfp for 10 months or so.

Ah, well. I had a 3 hour session a few days ago and couldn't piece together a lap with faster splits.

We still have to wait for the final time to know for sure, but we'll see. It's nice having someone who runs laptimes so close to mine. Looking forward to next week!.
 
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?
I say just do it as it fits you best, it's a lot of work as it is and squeezing it into a day with other things to do might just be too much.

LUXY update {up to post 106} - prolly the last one for this week. Submitting now also, although I might have given it more time if there'd be another week. Never mind, can't wait to see what car Jerry picked for SS5.

Well i like a challenge more fun i think we have had close splits for past couple weeks i think, but i might not be posting the splits that are on luxy i have a 56.414 i might be submitting so that could be really close...

QUIK!
 
I have some new ones, probably submit these but I'll keep wacking away for a while to see...

15.856
55.775

Guilty as charged :dunce: week 144 I think, I ran more laps not to beat the time but rather because I wanted a cleaner lap. Sorry for the trouble Jerry :indiff: that was inconsiderate.

:lol: :lol: Thanks for that!

You know those rally fans, they are some crazies. :crazy:

I finally managed to shake that guy off the back 💡, and low and behold, some new splits!

16.057
56.387

I will not better these any time soon, so lap submitted.

Great combo and a lot of fun for me this week! 👍

Good luck to all still running!

:cheers:

No worries, mate.
It just happens all the time, so I thought from now on I'll make it a condition before checking anyone's replay in the future. 👍
 
Also submitted. Can't keep up on dirt without some serious effort, or maybe those 4 spectators attached to the rear of my car had something to do with it :odd: Great times up front 👍
 
Time submitted.
I'm actually quite pleased with my effort this week. Not being a "Rally" guy made this an extra challenge and I've learned how to control a drift better than I ever thought I could. :dunce:

All in all, a great week and a great combo Jerry.👍👍
 
Time submitted.

The t times for the sub'd lap are slower than the LUXY times but the final lap time is quicker. Had a faster lap and noticed the rear end of the car rubbed the wall going up the hill. Seems like a lot of areas to do that on this track.
 
I'm utterly useless at rally, so I wasn't planning on taking part, but Andy told me to at least give it go. So... craplap submitted, going for last place :sly:
 
Didn't get much time to spend on this and rally is definitely not my cup of tea. Saw a 15.9xxx T1 and best T2 was 57.5xx but I'm afraid all my best runs had a nudge or two of the invisi-walls so nothing I could honestly submit. Fun combo though, I ran it long enough that my arms were starting to tire fighting the G25 to get this little hornet pointed where I wanted. I could always take Hollands advice and wind down the FF but where's the fun in that :D
 
Submitting

Only got to run once this week as I did some unintentional body modifications when I narrowed the tip of my index finger on the table saw :ouch:🤬🤬🤬:banghead::banghead:

Hopefully it will be bit less sore in a day or two so I can participate this week
