GT4 WRS Week 3: "4WDriving School"

[Tedehur]

THANX CFM for a chance to learn Autumn Ring! 👍
I never played GT2 & always wondered what all the "Hoopla" was about.

I never played GT2 either, but Autumn Ring was in GT1 and also in GT Concept, but you probably didn't have the latter.
Nice track anyway.

 

[Consigliere]

Huge surprise.. Never been a fan of Lancers and Kind of indifferent to Autumn Ring but already in the first corner I kicked the tail out and realised how much fun this was! 👍

After perhaps 10-15 laps I've managed:

T1 0'26.617
T2 1'02.520

I know there are loads of time for me between T1 and T2 and some in the last sector aswell but, this was the first of hopefully many sessions!

Cheers!

EDIT: I aaaaalways forget.. Div3 and DS2.

 

[Kent]

after about 20 laps i am finally getting the hang of the track and car. Braking points are specially important from what i have seen thus far. here are some T-times

T1- 26.566
T2- 1'01.464

Not a promotion, not a slap, not even a word... Just a verification.

I ask that not as a mod but instead as a racer.

Hope you don't vanish like you did in the gt3 wrs angelx.

And remember, you don't have to win to spark a person's interest in your laps.

btw, for the heck of it I ran a few laps...
1'03.8

And CFM, keep up the good work. 👍

 

[SimRaceDriver]

T-Times after about 20 laps so far:

T1: 26.602
T2: 102.560

Definitely room for improvement but I'm going to have to come back to this later as I'm just getting so frustrated at the fact that I know I can go lower but can't right now!

Opps.. Forgot to add..Div 3 w/DFP!

 

[tuff240]

1st 10 laps... T1 26.8/ T2 1'02.7
2nd 10 laps... still the same best lap, just a whole lotta driftin' going on.
It was fun for the 1st 10 laps, now all I want to do is figure out how to make it quit turning 90 degrees on corner entry.

Makes for good pictures though I guess. 💡

 

[hOt6o4bOi]

cant wait to get started just woke up

but looks like fryz,holl01, and angelx have set the early standards!

love the picture CFM nice drift 👍

(first 25 laps) --- (2nd set of 25)
T1 : 0:26.499 --- 0:26.327
T2 : 1:01.189 --- 1:00.979

 

[Ev0]

I've gotta put in some times for this later. Very good combo!

 

[DRIVEN -USA-]

heh - nice 4 wheel drift job w/ pics to boot

now this is going to be fun

after see'ing some of the others driving stations (other thread) now i see how you are gettin some of those unbelievable times

 

[itsukivr6]

After a first session, I am not liking this combo lol... I guess I just have to adjust my driving style, I know I have a 1:01.3XX T2, but botched the last section

T1: 26.734
T2: 1:01.839

 

[Tedehur]

When the rules say "tires : any", I assume we can mix.
I ran my first 10 laps with soft on the front and medium on the rear, which make the mass transfers easier in these fast curves.
Best T2 at 1'04.041 so far.
I'm back to GT Mode now and I'll give this another try later in the week.

To be honest with you I never even thought about it, but I don't see a problem with running different compounds Front & Rear. If it works for you, go with it!👍

I don't know yet if it works, but what I know for sure is that soft/soft didn't work for me. Too much understeering while I'd rather lose grip on the rear than on the front end of the car.
Thanks for clearing that Todd.

(first 25 laps) --- (2nd set of 25) --- (3rd set of 20)
T1 : 0:26.499 ------ 0:26.327 -----------0:26.295
T2 : 1:01.189 ------ 1:00.979 -----------1:00.897

love how the car reacts, have to keep the beast under control

I think you just ran more laps in one session than I do in an entire week ... oh to be young again.





Or be paid to play GT4.

Thats how I ran the qualifier. It's slower, but easier to drive on the qualifier.
I also tried it on this and it didn't seem to work for me on this one, but I didn't really try it very much, only one or 2 laps.

 

[hOt6o4bOi]

hehe nat, i think of them as 30 min sessions and once that 30 mins is up i usually stop for a bit. but so far today ive been playin too much ahahaha

 

[Teledriel]

If you do not have the track unlocked, you can quicky advance through the days to unlock them all by entering in and out of "Photo Travel" locations in Sim mode, or by purchasing "wheel of the day" in GT Auto, etc. Hopefully this won't be too big of a problem for most of you.

Will look into that when I get off work, thanks Todd.

Maybe you do need to look out Nat

 

[Kolyana]

*VRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM*

:intothedistance:

:dustmote:

 

[Lotrzyna]

OK I just did about 70 laps warm up session and all I could get is:

T1 26.933
T2 1.02.564

There are 3 turns in sector 2 which kill my time but I will work on them ;-)

Now Im going to sleep cos its 2AM in my country

 

[TheChemist]

I...love...Autumn...Ring....

 

[Mr P]

Best combo so far I reckon ... great choice CFM 👍

 

[hOt6o4bOi]

(first 25 laps) --- (2nd set of 25) --- (3rd set of 20) --- (4th set of 20)
T1 : 0:26.499 ------ 0:26.327 ---------- 0:26.295 --------- 0:26.238
T2 : 1:01.189 ------ 1:00.979 ---------- 1:00.897 --------- 1:00.790

haha so bad at photo mode
i had such a neato DRIFT goin but ,haha mayb thats why i failed photo class when i took it in highskool

 

[TheChemist]

T1 27.532
T2 1.03.734

My T2 DEFINITELY has 1 sec or more in it. The left-hander after the downhill and the long hairpin are big areas for improvement. T1 and T3 look pretty solid so far, after about 12 laps.

 

[kennythebomb]

"Mc Donalds will be out of business soon with these great combo's your coming up with."

LOL

Off to start this one...

Already looks like ur on top hot... nice driving, particularly the opening T1 👍

R u using DFP? i'll give it a shot now.

 

[Recury]

OK, I've got a question. Let's say I'm in the middle of a series (a really long one, like, gee I dont know, Formula GT). If I try to back out and go to Arcade Mode, it won't let me because I'm in the middle of a series. Can anyone think of a workaround so that I could get back there? I was just pulling the memory card out before I turned it on, but this track isn't one of the ones you start out with, so that doesn't work here. 8/

The only things that I could think of would be to get a second memory card, or finish the F1 series. I would HIGHLY recommend not pulling out your memory card while playing, as LOTS of people have had thier gamesave corrupted and forced to start over from scratch. Or if you have a replay device, you could save your GT4 gamesave onto your hard drive, exit the series, then reload the save back from your PC to your memory card and finish the series after you're done working on the WRS race.

 

[kennythebomb]

Ok, after 25 laps my sector times are:

T1 - 26.909
T2 - 102.352

By the looks of it I need a lot more practice with this car and track, haha. My T1 seems kinda slow compared to people close to my T2 time.

I'm not used to driving this course in anything over 200 hp lol

So far I've found (not using asm or tcs) that this car is rather unique in that it is MUCH faster to swing the rear around than to do the corner normally, as you would in a RUF or something. I think I'm still doing that long tight left-hander wrong, I just get the sense that I'm losing a lot of speed there and of course T1...

thnx holl01, i want you to do sum more laps tho! so i can see where ur at. Alwayz rite up at the top there with me hehe 👍

and i alwayz use the DFP, for gt3 i use to use the DS2 but, hehe why ds2 when i got the DFP

yeah, and i have neither a second memory card nor a replay device so it looks like im stuck trying to finish the series. hurray for b-spec!
