GT4 WRS Week 22: "Romeo Goes To Hong Kong"

[Drew22]

Lewie you dog..you smoked me last week!! And your beginning splits this week have me totally beat. I told them to move you right to Div.1, but did anybody listen..noo, so now you hang around Div. 2 beating the crap outta me...thanks! Seeya and goodluck this week. Do you know what good luck means in darts.........neither do I.

24.652
51.739 (that was in reverse)

 

[Lewie]

There's still plenty of time left this week, and my fastest lap is actually dirty. So I still have some work to do, but I am happy for the time being. My final splits for the night:

T1: 23.695 (can't get past the 23.6 barrier)
T2: 49.554

I really like this combo this week, CFM. It's about time, my first two weeks in Div 2 weren't exactly stellar performances.

 

[TheWizard]

Well, I just had a 30 minute session and by the looks of it, it seems that:

a) it will take me the whole week to get a clean lap
b) it will take me the whole week to learn the braking points
c) it will take me the whole week to start liking the track
d) it will take me the whole week to start liking the car (despite being Italian - me AND the car...)
e) it will take me the whole week to get a decent lap
f) all of the above

Well, I am just going to have to go with f), for this one...

Must. Study. Now.

The Wizard.

 

[Puck927]

Struggling with this one, any skill I might have shown last week has gone completely out the window . New splits using the wheel now:

T1 - 23.726 (saw 23.664)
T2 - 49.701 (saw 49.586)

Using RSS front and RS rear, 270 gears still. That damn right hand sweeper is gonna get me all week ...

 

[MinorShunt]

Couldn't resist. Had to devote an hour to the combo. Fun drive all around. Nice choice CFM! 👍 Hope to get to it once more this weekend, cause I left about .4 out there.

T1: 23.753
T2: 49.598

Good luck all. Have fun!

Oh. 250 gearing BTW.

 

[BigJamesGTI]

First round of the GT4 weekly for me. I got into Div 2.

Does X-Port work with GT4, I hope it does or I'll struggle to send times in if I need to, and if it doesn't work with GT4 does anyone want to buy an X-Port ???

 

[jase86]

Welcome Big James! Im newbie in Div 2 too! joined about 2 weeks ago very intense competition on Div2! but more hectic in Division 1

~~~~ Jase

 

[BigJamesGTI]

First saved split times are - 24.535 and 50.763. Im struggling with the right hander before the long uphill straight, Im trying this in 3rd but can't seem to keep my speed up through the corner.

The hairpin - there are rumble strips on the exit on the right hand side of the track, there is also a wall, but there is a section of tarmac inbetween the rumble and the wall, if both my wheels are in that (and I dont touch the wall) am I still OK ?

Im enjoying this.

 

[EXelero]

Turn the wheel when you run out of road.

hey you!!! you may have guns and be a reeeeaaal fast driver, but if you continue with comments like that, i'll be forced to make you listen to cliff richard, barry manilow and rod stewart cd's till you BEG for mercy. GET IT GIRL??!!!

 

[EXelero]

Ex, did you call the other night?? i was out so im not sure if you did or not?????

yeah i called!!!

was that your girlfriend or your mum??? did she like my seductive talk??
think she wasnt impressed with the older woman thing GT!!!

make sure your home next time!!!

 

[MisterWeary]

I couldn't face being on the absolute bottom of Luxy's Leaderboard, so after 30 minutes here's my new splits:

T1: 0'24.317
T2: 0'51.113

Much happier...my T2-Finish wasn't outstanding but I'm happy with it for now 👍

 

[EXelero]

After 1 hour playing, i think i´ve come pretty near the limit. altough im quite near to break my second barrier wich i dunno if its possible, there´s at least 0.1 ish left somewhere else in the track.

T1 - 0'23.356
T2 - 0'49.186

blooming nora veilsidebr!!!! when ever i come on and look at splits i feel ok. i'm usually round about the same time and feel able to compete. then i look at your splits and 🤬 !!! your always at least two seconds faster. by the end of the week its usually more like 4!!

off topic, i went to a brazilian restuarant last night and had acai for dessert. what was it i was eating? just wondered cos it was the most gorgeous thing i've EVER tasted!!

[Tedehur]

First session of 15 minutes only, with a best T2 at 52.0 and lots of time left. But there are so many slow turns where you can easily lose 0.2 or 0.3 that I don't expect to run a clean T2 below 51.0 unless I spend hours on it.
Tried gears at 210 : and gears at 270 : 👍
I'll try a smaller value.

BTW, can someone explain me why the red zone ranges from 12,000 to 18,000 (one third of the whole rev clock) with the rev limit being at 12,000 ? Italian show-off ? (j/k)

 

[Casio]

Nice Combo. Just ran 30 minutes.

T1: 23.871
T2: 50.112

I'm looking to drop about .5 off each by the end of the week.

 

[geeTeye]

👍 to this combo!

I think I have a good chance on this one, ran 15 laps this morning before work and here are my current splits with gearing on 250:

T1: 0'24.494
T2: 0'50.628

Had a T1 of a high 23, but had brain fade again and forgot to brake for the next right and t-boned the wall.

Anyway, gotta run. 👍

 

[somebody]

This has to be one of the best combos yet. I haven't enjoying the WRS like this for a while.

T1 - 24.519
T2 - 51.106
Div 3 - DS2

I've seen times about 0.5 faster through T1 and more than 1 second faster through T2 but I kept clipping the last corner.

 

[vtec_guy]

yeah i called!!!

was that your girlfriend or your mum??? did she like my seductive talk??
think she wasnt impressed with the older woman thing GT!!!

Anyway, off topic...AGAIN: My pedal box has just dried so now I can put everything back together and start driving! Just ordered some number and scrutineering decals from demon tweeks!

Back on topic: I had a quick go at this last night for 5 mins and got a 0'25.xx for T1 and a 0'54.xx for T2. Tons of improvement here, well, improvement isnt the word I should use seeing as I barely tried when I got those. Maybe I should just say lots more TRYING to do. WOW! look at that, I just spoke out my arse for a whole paragraph!

The rev counter must come from the Ferrari F1 car.

 

[MisterWeary]

Well just had another 10 minute stint and beat my splits again, here they are:

T1: 0'24.202
T2: 0'50.811

I stuffed the last corner up, but until that point I was fairly happy with the lap 👍

 

[EXelero]

rite, thats work done for the day so i'm off home to race.

apart from the understeer of the car is there anything else i should watch out for?
and i wondered what top speed vexd, veilsidebr, hotty and others were using. would appreciate some sort of guide!!

ta cass

 

[vtec_guy]

I dunno about the understeer so I just turned off TCS, I usually just turn off ASM but I thought this car could cope without TCS with it's 4WD chassis, and it does.

 

[EXelero]

not driven the car yet, really just going on things i've read. think it was casio said there was understeer???

i usually see how i can cope with all the TCS and stuff off but 9 times out of 10 i cant control the car without it!!!

off now. hopefully will have some Ttimes for you to laugh at tomorrow!!

thanks tho VTEC 👍

As posted avove, the entire track is ok to use, just stay off of the walls and you're good to go.👍

If anybody has any questionable touches, USE THE ANALYZER like has been discussed in previous weeks. I promise, it's not too tough once you try it out for a while.

 

[jase86]

hahah here we go again! well after 20 laps or so.. lost count!!

T1: 24.938
T2: 52.183

Check that out for some speed! still learning the track, and the understeering, handful car!!
You guyz are too quick
ASM off TCS on, 270km/h, R5s, and automatic gearing

You're welcom Ex,

I never try and drive the cars without TCS until now, most of the time i've needed it because of the RWD'ness.
I just borke into a 0'51.1xx T2 time, I think that's a time I can be proud of....for now. I'm really enjoying this week. I reckon i'll be in the 0'59 T2 region by this time tomorrow if not by the end of the evening.

..::vtec out::..

 

[Carlos]

This car is the bomb.. never drove it.. w00t

 

[SHigSpeed]

Okay, had a quick recce session using the DSP-U!

T1 24.418
T2 50.572

I think I've about reached my limit for this week... For the DS2 that is.

Should get some wheel time soon.

[Dave_George]

got some sectors to aim for...
although i dont feel in the mood to play...

****en rear ended a taxi today, no damage tho~
but the drivers on the road now days piss the **** outta me, drive like ****en homos

this is what happend, a van ( the first car ) a taxi ( 2nd ) then me (3rd ) were driving along a road that merges with another road,
but the road we were on has the right of way and has no need to stop at all
the mofo VAN driver was on his cell phone, and slams on his brakes for no reason at all the taxi almost hits him, i almost hit the taxi

and the van starts to move again we all acellerate and then he stops again!!!!
this time i totally didnt expect it at all, who woulda thought the idiot would stop 2wice on a roadway that has the right of way

so i fender bender'd the taxi, and the VAN speeds off

im left with 100% responsibility, but thank god the taxi driver understood the situation
although both cars had no visible damage, except for my cars plastic scrape marks....

this is my 2nd rear ender, where the driver in front should be at 100% fault
but no...... rear ender is always wrong

**** that ****, im pissed off

Im sorry for you mate....but....whatever the guy in fronts doing you should be covering your own ass, if you hit him your too close, simple as that im afraid.

Sounds like you've never done anything wrong before.
