GT4 WRS Week 41 : "Phantom of the Opera"

[kart.no.38]

Another 20mins but I am not sure if I will be able to finish this challenge tomorrow.

Anyway:

35.9
1.05.9

 

[KLR142]

Ok, I think I'm done for this week, lol. I kept shaving off a tenth or three every few laps, and then on this one lap, I shaved off a whole .99 something! I don't want to try and catch up with that lap all too much, and I'm satisfied enough with it. Some things were taken wide, but I made the most(well, the most that I can manage with a DS2) of the wide line. Oh, and on the high speed right kink thing before T1, I'm kinda close to the inside wall, but it's more than fine when you look at it in photomode. 👍 The DFP would definitely help a bit on this weeks race. Funny how I think I say that almost every week now... We need to get a table/something soon so we can start using it! Argh.

Splits:
T1: 36.786
T2: 1'07.885

Mixture of random settings that don't mean anything. Gearing started out as Holl's, then was mixed and moved and all the gears are different now.

 

[Tedehur]

No, I think it's a good idea; i asked for assistance and three guys jumped in here, so giving them a nod of appreciation in this way is the least I can do.

What does reputation do?

Here is a link to the FAQ dealing with reputation points.

That was a quality post about something I never knew about!

PS - Time submitted. Im not gonna get any faster. Its been another great week racing with you guys!

 

[xXSilencerXx]

Wow this week has made me hate this car with a vengance. It's just so frickin tail happy with no downforce adjustments available.

 

[veilsidebr]

Had a nice improvement from using holl01´s setting, working on it right now, after 30 min had a great lap but with some gay behaviors in the ending wich cost me ALOT.

T1 - 0'35.749
T2 - 1'05.866 - until here, 0.2 lost

Plus 0.4 in the ending

Lets go for more runs

 

[veilsidebr]

Ok i didn´t improve any thing and my lap isn´t that good, i hope to get a 3rd place at all. Holl01 my friend your lap is incredible and i couldn´t really beat it, so congratulations if you win my friend.

I was big joking with you with that pms(you know that HAHAHAHAHHA)

Next time i will beat ya like a wild pitbul. You did an unbelievable work this time, and im happy that you increased your skills alot since i stoped with GT 3 months ago.

This is my last wrs, so i wish the best luck to all ya guys! i wasn´t expecting a win, just expecting to play with all the mates and friends from WRS for the last time, so it was still great for me and also very fun to be in here again after a long time just playing pc games.

 

[veilsidebr]

Hey flat, just a stupid question from a new driver(hehe) is it required any special pm title for the time submission pm or i can put the title i want?

Dunno if rules have changed, thats why i ask.

Im submiting the laptime togheter with the split sector times, if that is ok for you.

 

[Kolyana]

Okay Veil ... so why is this your last WRS?

 

[veilsidebr]

Okay Veil ... so why is this your last WRS?

Well, you would know the reason soon but no probl i can tell, just because in a week or alittle more i will suicide. 👍
So i wanted to race for the last time with all you guys(and girls, koly and excelero ).

Edit: just posting my actual splits, got to improve my lap in a 15 min final session and i will probably submit it since i see really few to improve, probably 0.150 or 0.250, and i think its a good lap at all.

T1 - 0'35.610
T2 - 1'05.405

As always, your settings were like a glove for me holl01, you´re great on doing settings, excelent job again.

I hope this is enough for a podium! Good luck to all ya!

I know we have a language barrier here and all ....... but is that what you meant to type?

 

[Iceman]

Yeah, he meant to type that.

 

[veilsidebr]

Yes indeed, i meant that, theres no language barrier. Many people of GTP know already about that, including iceman that said it right now(in the post right above this) so i think earlier or later you all would have to know that.

ps: btw, could u update my new splits into the leaderboard, koly?

 

[hOt6o4bOi]

because in a week or alittle more i will suicide. 👍

****en idiot... have fun

you were a close buddy, but i dont associate(sp?)with weak people

 

[veilsidebr]

****en idiot... have fun

Ok curtis, i know that you completely disagree with my idea, just like all the people that know about it, but you don´t need to offend me at all eh? 💡

 

[KLR142]

But you have a 4'44.650 time around the 'ring! Isn't that worth living for? Oye man, I don't know the story, but yikes. I wish there was some way to help.

thx dude, but thats not what i want really, i just wanted to race at real life but seems impossible in my monetary conditions.

You ever hear of racing schools? With those gt skills you got, i bet someone from the videogame industry could give you a scholarship ; ) Plus they're actually cheaper than college, and if you make into the business youll be earning more than what college would have earned you. Be cool man, stay in racing school.👍

yes for sure i´ve been looking for racing schools but its yet expensive, thats not the problem, the real probl is to keep a season at any category when its ALOT expensive per month.

 

[bbq0801]

Veil,
I want to be a real driver too, ive even taken my car to the track tons of times, I cant afford a racing school either, but I figure I can at least enjoy driving for the rest of my life..
How much racing do you think youre going to get to do if you do that?

Probably the same i would get keeping alive.

 

[bbq0801]

pretty damn harsh man.

very,very little /= none.

indeed, but if i saw a solution...

 

[bbq0801]

try to fight for sponsorship, call race teams, call big companies.. See if you can get a job at a low level race team as a crew member, learn the ropes, work your way up and save money get into a school. You dont need money to be a driver, you just have to be virtually the best. The guys at race schools know talent when they see it, if they do they will say so.

Seriously think about your position, dont give up on life until youve had some real chances in a real car on a real track.

Ive been saving money for 3 years straight now to get into a school (other than the local BMW events ive been in). I plan to move forward with this, and you should too.

it not so easy like that, unfortunatelly what you see in the racing teams, most of times, is the "most rich" or the guy "most sponsored", and not actually "the fastest".

Team managers just look for money, to find a person who has own a racing team and that looks for real talents and not just sponsors, is as hard as to find a famous race car driver who wasn´t rich at all in the start of his career.

 

[bbq0801]

I know that most race drivers are rich, but thats not going to stop me from trying..

Obviously, I dont agree with your decision either, I think there will always be an opportunity out there, but I know that wont make a difference..

Im really sorry it has come to this for you, regardless of what other people say, I think it takes a damn strong person, I truly hope you get what you are looking for from it, it would be pretty damn unfortunate if that was as big a disappointment as we all think it will be.

 

[hOt6o4bOi]

how is that possible, he is basically giving up... QUITING... so nothing is strong about that

 

[bbq0801]

..strong in a different way.

yes giving up, but imagine how hard it would be..

besides, this isnt really about the differences between how you or I or veil look at it. Its about freaking suicide man.

 

[MisterWeary]

I have some things to say on your suicide veil and I'm gonna post them in the chit-chat thread if you want to check them out.

 

[Kolyana]

Veil and I spoke at length on Trillian about this matter. You know my thoughts Veil and you know I'm here for you
