Boy, do I hope THAT's a "Typo" :lol: ...O.G. :D
 
I see gearing anywhere from 220 - 280, .Tried most all but find 240 is good for my style. 280 is great at turn 3,the quick right after the T1 chicane cause you can do just a downshift instead of lifting the gas. Any of your reasons for gearing choices would be interesting. All these JGTC cars have a large powerband, shifting at 5500 is just as good as redline, that's why the only reason I can see for gearing difference is when you want to do your shifting, yes...maybe?
 
240 kmh works for me too. Because I use AT, any higher and the gear changes don't match up with the corners as well. Any lower and I lose a couple of tenths on the back straight.
 
first clean race, just to get to lederboard:

T1: 16´908
T2: 31´836
LAP1 - 55´224

T1: 11´940
T2: 26´682

T1: 11´862
T2: 26´555

END - still 1´5 seconds from where i want to be... but, that was just the first clean race, too bad i won´t have time for much this week, but maybe a 0´6 or 0´8 i can shave.
 
I beat my old lap by 0.005 and then after a couple of more tries found this:

T1: 0'17.241
T2: 0'32.288
Lap 1: 0'55.777
...............
T1: 0'11.821
T2: 0'26.637
...............
T1: 0'11.836
T2: 0'26.757

With about 0.4 improvement overall, I've seen a 55.5 on the first lap but those last two were as hot as I've ever done. I really like this Cusco, still wish we had Tsukuba Wet though :)

What a battle this week Randy, GeeTeye, Driven-USA and I are having. Were just bouncing around here...LOL. Great times Randy 👍 . I"ll be trying to chase those this weekend :scared:

Thanks jump_ace 👍, but the leaderboard works out the total T times, we just have to enter 3 sets of T1 and 3 sets of T2 👍.

Leaderboard will be updated 10 or so mins after this post 👍
 
CAN ALL DIV2 DRIVERS, GET OUT THERE CARS, AND LET ME WIN THIS WEEK :P
(Almost at a second barrier, must get there by the end of the week) had a 2 hour session this morning and didnt improve though...

Well I think I know the second barrier you're talking about and it is lightyears away for me :crazy: I don't think I'll be able to compete with you...jump_ace on the other hand seems determined to have a shot :)

I'm really frustrated at the moment with my race, I can consistently get a 55.3-55.4 on my first lap now but I can't for the life of me replicate my final 2 laps from my previous post...still heaps of time I guess.
 
I think the key to a good time this week is down to getting the 2nd sector right, i can consistantly get a good end sector, and the start is usualy good, but that right hander before the bridge can cut your t2 split right down if you hit it right...
 
I love this combo CFM, keep them coming!! And Bring it Jump Ace, im not scared of u, :P. Except i always seem to get high on luxys board, then mess up the end, and u beat me along with loads of other people, lol
 
Spent another hour this afternoon, I think I've done as much as I can for this week. My hands are starting to complain (bloody eczema :grumpy: ).

Lap 1: T1: 17.170
T2: 32.186
Lap: 55.623

Lap 2: T1: 11.744
T2: 26.850

Lap 3: T1: 11.882
T2: 26.750

A big thanks to everyone updating the leaderboard (especially with all the work this week), and again to CFM for this combo :cheers:

Good luck to everyone 👍
 
Looks like I've peaked at my last posted times. Hopefully it will be enough to hang on to 3rd in Div3. Submitting times now, good luck all.

FEAR THIS BEYOTCH!!! LOL. Man I seriously doubt I'll be closing in on your time this week that is just stunning! Way to go. But I haven't given up yet.

very addicted combo,
gaining time everywhere but losing it on the same spot the next lap.

I'm nearly there and have still two evenings for trying.

lap 1
T1- 17.137
T2- 32.090
55.646

lap 2
T1- 11.950
T2- 26.815

lap 3
T1- 11.896
T2- 27.009

Improvement of 0.6
What are we talking about :lol:
But braking barriers is always rewarding.
 
I could kick myself. I think that for a few weeks in a row last month I was like that "Awakenings" guy driving under some superpill. Now I'm Rainman, an excellent driver, definitely an excellent driver... (Yeah, right!)

Had ONE L1 of 55.0XX and now can't come close. I can't regularly get T2s of under 27.000!

I'm telling ya, I need someone to have pity on my and put me out of my misery (or send me a replay showing me how it's done!).

I did manage to take almost a second off of my SLOOOW first session time during my second session, but now I'm stuck.

Grr..

Here are my new splits:

T1: 0'17.049
T2: 0'32.016
L1: 0'55.585

T1: 0'11.937
T2: 0'26.809

T1: 0'11.753
T2: 0'26.580

Later 👍
 
Feeling a bit better, 0.2" improvement:

T1 16.843
T2 31.867
L1 55.286 (Not bad so far...)
T1' 11.751 (That's more like it!)
T2' 26.746 (STILL have more work to do on that segment...)
T1'' 12.105 (And downhill we go...)
T2'' 27.085 (Same segment as lap 2, not bad)

BUT,

I broke my DFP! I broke off a gear tooth on the plastic gear that mates with the metal gear on the motor. So there's an annoying skip every quarter turn or so of the wheel and sometimes it jams up. Don't know how long until more teeth go. It's been grinding intermittently on fast "against-feedback" steering and it finally threw the tooth. BLEH!

Logitech is sending me a new one, but I doubt it'll be here in time for my Magic Monday night thrash... :^( I think I'll play with "feedback mild" from now on to preserve the hardware. Anyone know where I can buy a gear?

This is such a fun race but it's also tough to get three corking laps in a row, here's my latest effort:

T1: 0'16.866
T2: 0'31.784
Lap 1: 0'55.324
...............
T1: 0'11.969
T2: 0'26.994
...............
T1: 0'11.975
T2: 0'26.872

With about 0.15 improvement overall. My first lap was as hot as I've ever done, the other two lost about 0.3 - 0.4 if I hit them at my limit, so anything I get back from here is a bonus 👍
 
I ran about 45mins worth. Need to improve T1 - Finish more (basically the whole track :lol: )

T1: 16.898
T2: 31.810

T1: 11.742
T2: 26.606

T1: 11.738
T2: 26.682

Edit
Leaderboard updated!
 
Argh, this is so annoying, i got a 54.909, then beat another second barrier by .15 on the next lap, then saw a 26.6 at t3 last lap, and messed up on the last sector!!!!!

New splits tho, (faster end, but slower T2's thanks to a ridiculously slow last lap!!!)

T1 - 16.837
T2 - 31.570
Lap 1 - 55.079 lost .2
T1 - 11.813
T2 - 26.513
Lap 2 - WOW
T1 - 11.787
T2 - 26.745 Lost .2
Lap 3 - Lost .2
 
Um yeah, 3 consistent laps isn't my forte exactly except when I'm at Bobkart's...hehe. But this is a nice combo because its 3 little laps and the AI are very easy to pass and are hardly an issue (which is RARE!) and really the best way to get fast laps is to do many laps, all that is needed is more concentration/patience/timing/BALLS/coordination/determination/nerves/....see VERY EASY....LOL.

Submitting now, getting it in in plenty of time this week (unlike last week when I almost forgot to submit :lol: ). I don't think I'd improve my time and my hands are still giving me trouble. Plus, uni starts back on Tuesday so I'm preparing for that.

As I said in an earlier post, this has been a great week again, a fantastic combo and one I enjoyed immensely. Thanks once again to the leaderboard updaters :cheers:
 
Welp... i was only able to put in 1 hour of work on this week (thank you being sick as a dog yesterday + 8 hours of homework & F1 weekend). but it was a nice car on an easy track... so no biggie.
GL all

oh, if any D2 drivers are curious,
Lap1 55.6
T1-2 11.8
T2-2 26.7
T1-3 11.8
