I'm having a hard time "feeling" this car in it's current state. When are we gonna do some GT mode races, CFM? This thing is in dire need of some stiffening up.

Week 5.

hey idle, who told you the 4 over the line rule?

hmmm i remember CFM saying itz ok

soooo i dunno? :indiff:

I must've missed that post.

I was just think'n out loud really. But CFM cleared it up.

Keep 2 tires on the pavement, at all times, regardless of the white line. 👍

I'm finally starting to bend this car to my will by drifting the balls off of it in the sweepers and staying as tight as possible in the 2 hairpins. I just have a bad habit of correcting for RWD instead of 4WD(aka too soon) or getting on the gas too early. Took another .500 off my lap so now at least I don't feel so bad about my time. Better execution may get me the sub 1:01 T2 that I desire.

26.470 / 1:01.442
 
just submitting my newest times for the leaderboard......section 2 is killing me
26.783 1'02.130
i had a 1'01.9xx once, but looked at my time and screwed the next corner :yuck:
 
Had some more laps:
T1: 26.503
T2: 1'01.410

This lap improved my time 0.5 seconds because I had a poor last section in my previous best. The lap is absolutely horrible, watching the replay almost made me cry. The car just skids and slides around the corners, and I went too wide in one corner, resulting I had two wheels off and two wheels on the last tiny bit of pavement. Not sure if it's dirty or not, but I'll improve it for sure, I saw 1'01.2s coming :)
 
Thought id get some times up on the leader board and see how well im doing.

I know theres alot more time to be gleaned out, just need to work on it, takes alot of adjusting to drive this car. spent far too much time driving overpowered rear wheel drive cars that like to oversteer.

T1: 27.232
T2: 1;03.029

Sadly i was slower coming up to the finish with this lap.
 
Well, it's took me ages to improve this week, to drift of not to drift that is the question.

T1 '26.321
T1 1'00.712

I've ran a couple of '26.15X at the first split but can't see anywhere to improve further.

Time to buy a max drive or something I guess eh?

You can have mine, I probably won't be needing it... :indiff: (only joking!)...

btw, re: the white line debate... I'd consider it off track, but if it is being considered by everyone else as fair game, then great... my quickest lap is over the white line, seem to lose a tenth or two trying to stay inside it...
 
I had a long session tonight. Thank god it paid off :D
T1: 26.253
T2: 1'01.273

Improved my overall time by .4 of a second. I also saw a 1'01.10x but couldn't hold it till the end.
More to come tomorrow.

edit: Decided to run 10 more laps
T1: 26.319
T2: 1'01.030

I´'ll get some sub 1'01s tomorrow. :)

T1: 26:637

Might I inquire what tire combo you speak of? Or am I correct in assuming you went with Mediums on the back?

Yea but it also all about being able to work with anything given. Not always the best car out there. :P (Never is a perfect world)

Better over all, but worse T2.

T1 ~ 27.384
T2 ~ 1' 03.704
 
Hotboi, Holl01 do you guys use SS front and rear with no TCS or ASM.

Is S soft front and mediums rear better?
 
Finally after about 50 laps today I nailed a lap.

T1 26.450
T2 1'01.753

That's it for me today. I might be able to go a little quicker before tuesday we'll see.

correct, and no. you want all the grip you can get when breaking for those hairpins, so soft is the way to go mate.
 
yeah, i think T1 may be faster with medium rear, but the 2 corners after T1 and the long long corner is bad with medium rears, the back end comes round so easily under brakes, Heavily outweighing any advantage (if any) in T1 or T3.
 
Heh, I can't run as well without medium rears - go figure.

Spent too long on this, really, but I finally found how to take a key corner and it's showing in my overall net time (she says ... I'll probably get murdered now!).

I know there are alot of Div 3 guys running blistering laps comparable to Div 2, but for little old me, I've made some good gains :P

T1: 26.8 (fairly consistently, which I'm happy about)
T2: 1'02.792 (with another .5 to be gained quite easily, I believe. Hopefully I'll get it tomorrow, but I'm pewped for the day).

Shaved a good bit of time off my overal track total. Yay.
 
quickly edit that time kolyana, you put your final time down as your T2 :embarrassed:
 
Ok .. /boggle. Here we go again bouncing all over the place again. Worse T1, better T2, ( whiddles little by little from final ) from last update

T1 : 27.573
T2 : 1' 03.623

Div 3, DS2

Not sure though if can squeeze any more out. All my times have been hanging right around those numbers. I have a mark I like to beat, but seems to just not want to give me the checker flag this time.

soft on front medium on rear, seems to counter some of the understeer
 
bah humbug!

The best I can get is:
26.806
102.177

I could possibly eke out another .4 or so but I just don't have any interest in fighting this car anymore. Hopefully next week will be better. I am going to submit my time now and be done with it.
 
Looks like I'll be on my way down the division spiral if I don't pull off at least a mid-1:01 T2's before tuesday..... :nervous:

T1: 26.765
T2: 1:01.956

not to worry MR8, just that the top of div3 will be moving into div2 id say, not the other way round ;)
