GT4 WRS Week 24: "The Tsukuba Triple"

[MinorShunt]

Well I don't know jump_ace. I see a lot of positives in this car. For one it's got a nice torquey motor with very little lag, it's flat handling, and comes out of the corners like a rocket. Seems pretty good to me! 👍

Personally I wouldn't want a much faster car at this track. I like something that doesn't take a half mile approach to stop it and will rip thru the corners without complaint. But that's just MHO.

Anyway who am I to say? I just submitted my own half craptastic time for the week.

Too bad. I really liked this combo.

I think you still got me beat jump_ace, I lost a bit on my last lap, I've tried beating my time though and ain't having much luck.

I really like this car too, it's a perfect pace for this track I think, maybe I'll try to get it for the JGTC.

Well, no submitting for me this week.

University is killing me. They (the teachers) need to give us (the senior students) a 🤬 break. Else I think I am going to go insane and might just blow the whole entire place up Anybody has an atomic bomb for sale? Let's see... I got like 20 dollars in my wallet, would that be enough? Anybody?

Thanks in advance...

The Wizard.

C'MON WIZ!! You've gotta submit something so you, I, and VTRacing can vie for Best Loser in D1! There's a trophy in it for you!

I played taps and my DFP is now buried under a heap of earth. Tried to sit down for my Magic Monday session and it chewed itself up inside. <SNIFF!!>

Submitted... I may be Best Loser for a while if I can't get another wheel soon...

I am sorry to disappoint you, SHigSpeed, but I just finished studying for a test that I have tomorrow in Astrodynamics I, I have 8 AM class tomorrow (which means I have to get up at 6:30 AM - in 6 hours), and I have to get some sleep...

I haven't even run this combo once. If I do three laps just for the sake of it right now, I will end up winning the Best Loser in D3, and I ain't up for that one. There's really no point in firing up the PS2 and spending 30 minutes to figure out how to pass the damn AI without hitting (or getting hit by) it, just to submit the worst time ever...

Hopefully this coming (WRS) week I will have more time. And it better be a hotlap, too

Later.

The Wizard.

submitting my pitiful time from early last week,

Not been able to run properly coz the stormy weather over the last week has played havoc with my sinuses giving me migranes every day.

Wooden spoon prize is gonna be mine this week, gonna be slowest driver overall, by a long way i think.

submitting, Very little difference to great lap and a 🤬 lap. That and im not good at this track make it hard for me. This race has a lap in it that i could never reproduce, so even slighty faster lap 1 and 3 doesnt make it up.

Lap 1 was 55.050.

Good luck guys

I didn't get much time to run this week, but I ran two last races this morning and did awesome (at least for the little practice I had). Time submitted.

Welcome, good luck to you too, hope you enjoy the WRS, I certainly do!

As for Lewie, I knew you'd come flying back into the mix, my third position on the leaderboard is, in the words of Simon and Garfunkel, slip sliding away

Time submitted 👍

Finally got an hour to run this combo last night. I wish I had a little more time, I left so much on the track.

I don't remember the decimals to the sectors:

16.8 // 31.6 => 55.170 (Went wide at last corner entry shoulda been sub 55)
11.8 // 26.5 => No mistakes
11.8 // 26.5 => No mistakes

Best first lap was a 54.891 on a 16.8 // 31.5 but couldn't capitalize.

Time Submitted

It's not something I particularly like to do because it is as if I was hiding my time or something, and it doesn't make for much participation. But I really only had time last night to run this thing.

BTW, Gearing 240, AI -8, started on RSH... once again, a little too late

 

[jase86]

nah nah! im just making jokes dude! no accusations dude!! its all about fun.. just stressing out.... results.....

since CFM is still offline, i´ll post my splits from last night... (once again, my final time was on monday)

T1: 16´847
T2: 31´704
LAP1: 54´940

T1: 11´835
T2: 26´493

T1: 11´838
T2: 26´604

final time = something i hated

best splits seen were...

lap1 16´760 - 31´568 - 54´800
laps 2 or 3 - 11´695 - 26´386

liked the combo, but did bad for what i wanted... only got the hang of dunlop corner and the last one in my last day...

started friday, had 3 sessions i think, but my final time came in the final 30 minutes, after i figured that i was AUTOMATICLY REPETING THE SAME MISTAKE LAP AFTER LAP, that´s why i had so many laps on 31´578, or 31´596 that ended up being 55´0xx very stupid on my part... (and doing this on laps 2 and 3 will hurt you even more)

sometimes i just run, and don´t stop to think about the lap, that´s why, most of the times i only understand how to race properly on monday night, then its too little too late... always have to make my final time in 30 minutes or so, because the previous sessions were a waste of time...

really dissapointed with this week, didn´t performed the way i wanted... if i could put my best laps togheter, i would have a third place for sure, maybe even second... lets just wait for the results, but it will be my lowest in a long time...

such an easy car and a easy track... easy and fast to get a good time... still don´t know why i did so bad in this one...

but there´s always next week...

and also the looser´s excuse: if i had one more day, i would improved, since i figure out on monday... 💡

dah for me...

DAMN! Maybe I'll go down to Best Buy and do a "temporary purchase"?

I don't think I can last that long!!

GRR...
