GT4 WRS Week 24: "The Tsukuba Triple"

[Casio]

Nice tip Androos,
was gonna play around with the AI settings myself this afternoon, but got a migrane so playing is not a good idea.

Will give it a go later if the headache lifts.

That or practise playing with the TV off...

It's a pretty simple track, I think it could be done with enough practice....

Hmmm,I know what I'm trying first thing tomorrow...I'll post my splits, assuming they are legal of course, if I finish the track....

Been waiting to get my new S Video cable in before I gave this week's race a try. Got it today (had to go to the Delivery Office, there was no-one in when they tried to deliver it the other day) and the picture quality is excellent, so much better than it used to be.

I've only had three runs (two dirty and one clean), but here are my splits so far:

Lap 1: T1: 17.536
T2: 32.704
Lap: 56.694

Lap 2: T1: 12.095
T2: 27.716

Lap 3: T1: 11.821
T2: 26.852

A scruffy run, lots of time left to make up

 

[STINGER05]

Thanks Androos, had it all the time on -7 to be honest (thinking outside the box..?!?), but the enemies on super hard tires, and fighting the gathers drider (second car to be overtaken) into the first right hander, overtaking him on the outside.and then cutting in.. so will change the tires one down and see if i can catch him before that bend....tx again!

 

[Randymcchickenf]

Ive been using -9 on SS, ill try your suggestions tho 👍

 

[MinorShunt]

He's blue for me, 'Ace.

But I liked being orange!

 

[Androoos]

You're a good bloke Androos...using your suggestion I beat my time easily, new splits for me:

T1: 0'17.337
T2: 0'32.299
Lap 1: 0'56.014
...............
T1: 0'11.861
T2: 0'26.947
...............
T1: 0'11.867
T2: 0'27.013

Fairly happy at this early stage of the racing week, thanks again Androos 👍

I forgot to mention one caveat - you have to let me win this week!

J/K - I'd want to work for it anyway. We'll see what happens.

[SHigSpeed]

Bleh! I haven't had ANY time to play this week and feel like I'm slipping irrevocably behind!

Hopefully I can get some time on the track tonight. Hope to get some sort of idea where I'm stacked up...

Hey Shig. Are you accepting any new members into DPRG?

I've never been too good at this circuit but I'm not too far off the pace. I might even be in the running for my 3rd Div3 podium if I can figure out a better line through the first corner.

Yeah, no problem. I'm not only a member, I'm the president! I'll make matching jackets for everyone. Someone also suggested WRS Widow shirts for our wives.

WRS candy bars for the noisy kids. (ritalin laced of course)

Sounds like Jordan has a whole new product line!

Have just discovered a very nice AI setup as a result of Androos' suggestion (thanks!). Put the AI on -7, Racing Hard. Your AI lineup should look like this:

1: Nissan mm-R Cup Car
2: Mitsubishi Lancer 1600 GSR Rally Car
3: VW New Beetle Cup Car
4: Gathers Drider Civic Si Race Car
5: Mugen Motul Civic Si Race Car

With this line-up, brake just as the Drider Civic does and cut underneath him on the inside. Remain on the inside and throttle out. You'll come within inches of the Beetle and the other cars are not an issue as long as you stay right. This lineup has seen T1 times of 16.7 at best, leading to a possible 31.5 at T2 if you hit that right. This is using 270km/h gearing.

Hoped to have some new times to post with this, but nothing really worth mentioning. Shaved all of .02 from my previous race time.

Always managing to fsck up one lap.

I couldn't handle the longer gears so I'm using AI -10 on racing supersofts but with 240kmh gears. Works just as well provided your field doesn't have the Lancer 1600 Rally starting in 4th place. Overtake 5th on the straight, easily outbrake 4th in to the first turn, cut back under 3rd at the exit of turn 1, and take 2nd and 1st before the left kink turns back to the right.

gearing 250km/h
#3rd place car VW Lupo Cup Car '00

i've gotten
T1 16.912
T2 31.734
L1 54.994
T1 11.698
messed up after that

I was also updated on leaderboard from +.6 behind to +1.5 behind even though I never posted a second time til now

 

[Small_Fryz]

my only guess is that the leader of the leaderboard improved.

 

[jmgyro]

No, I checked it and my T1,T2, of Lap1 are the same. But the T1,T2 of Lap2 and 3 are worse than before.

 

[Drew22]

First day of trying, foot pedal on DFP was applying a small amount of brake (1sec. lap)Took apart and put back 6 times till I got it adjusted the way I wanted, what a pain.Anyway,first go

...............
T1: 0'11.936
T2: 0'26.776

With about 0.45 improvement overall, my third lap wasn't too crash hot

[SHigSpeed]

Finally got some races under my belt. Not too great, not too bad.

T1 16.899

L1 55.631
