well
hmpf
i wake up and find out that at least 3 guys had pass me... that´s what you get from only having a good session on monday. this is world class competition and they WILL come after your times... i thought i had it this week, i saw guys were not doing so well, but now, i just don´t know anymore, they say bad last corner, i say good last corner for me, still no idea of how the final time will stand up... a top 5 would be very nice after all... 👍
in the start of WRS i would never thought of beeing competitive with normal/concept cars, but looks like i´m closing the gap...
i really like this combo last night, i wanted to keep trying, but that happens every week.
funny thing is, GT mode is great, but tuning is so complex and weird in GT4 that this week i changed back the suspension to stock last night and it was better... i swear, the only thing i didn´t change was brake balance... until then, i was running with 4/4 on toe, 4 of camber in the back end, i know some crazy stuff.
actually, this trial by error setup that i try to do in every GT mode week does not work. to little time to tell if i´m really better with srings at 15 or at 2.8 doing 5 laps or so with each setup...
things just does not work precisevely like in the last GT game i played (GT2) back in the hey days, some things were a lock, like stiffer springs, or a higher damper for race cars... now, it looks like a puzzle, if you take one piece out, you can´t figure the car.
the best setup seems to be the default, which sucks... all the changes we made, are just to suit the car to our driving style, not to make it faster like it used to (IMO)
don´t know if you guys agree, i STILL didn´t had time to spend a whole day with a car testing every combination possible, but tuning is not as effective as once was. on this combo, the only thing that worked all the time was the long gears, using 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears. 10 minutes before i ended my session last night i saw that with this gear i could run with a optimal LSD (5/5/5, the faster) without the hassle of wheelspin, but no more time for that. my suspension tweak was HORRIBLE.
STILL, GT MODE IS GREAT, FAR MORE REALISTIC, AND I WOULD LOVE MORE, AND MORE RACES IN THIS MODE, PLEASE!!! 👍
about curtis replay, i watched and its great. some thoughts...
1- i was happy to see that i had the exact same driving line and even some little tricks like putting up a long gear just before the last corner to do it faster...
2- really, looks like loser´s talk, but my lap was just like his. now why did i get to stay 1´5 seconds behind?
3- this week it was about braking, and reducing braking lock. this is what´s holding me down in GT4, braking better. because in curtis replay, he had great angle on every turn, and never had his wheels locked by brake, so he had great momentum all the way. i could stay with his ghost up until T1, but after, the middle section was very good.
4- left foot braking was a key this week, and i´m pissed because i can´t do it (playing with both sticks of the DS2 sucks, bad habit, stupid me 👎 )
this enables the car to be faster thru turns. the brake-stop-then turn thing was not for this car...
anyway, it was a great week, glad to be back on GT mode, and always learning a lesson, hoping that one day i can step up a notch 👍
. Well looks like I'll be at the bottom of D1. But hey, I made it and its something to improve on 👍 . Time Submitted. I would like to say GREAT TIME KYLE! WOOT!!! P-Town ROX! 
So this lap was an anti-touch lap. I hate those!
There was still another .4 to be had for me mostly from the middle sector but I'm happy enough with what I got. Fasj, I'm sure you beat me to the line 👍
