GT4 WRS Week 51 : "Re-start your engines"

[Iceman]

Sorry it was supposed to be 28.

 

[Smallhorses]

Still pretty scary at 28.4 though! !!!!!

 

[Jake]

This combo ROCKS!

 

[Smallhorses]

This combo ROCKS!

They're CLIFFS not Rocks!
Sorry. Couldn't resist!

 

[Jake]

They should have built a stage there on the cliffs just for you!

Turns out that I have a wheel afterall. As I drive, my setup shifts side to side. I tucked my cords through a hole and the shifting pulled out the power cord. I was going to pack it in the box to take to Best Buy to get fixed or replaced and noticed that the cord was out. I set everything back up and got these splits.

T1: 0:29.639
T2: 1:01.963

Much happier with these times.

 

[Jump_Ace]

Did I hear someone need both versions of GT4?
Please feel free to shoot me a pm, dont be shy now!

I've still got a raised eyebrow myself though...holl01 may have fast splits but he is beat (which in itself is an eyebrow raise ). Do any WRS'ers have both versions of the game?!?

I have both versions, but the PAL version is absolutely unplayable on an NTSC _television_. It has to do with the framerates and resolution. The PAL screen is too short so the image if adjusted to fit is squashed like trying to watch a widescreen movie on a standard screen. Also, the framerate is slower on PAL, so viewed at NTSC frame rate, it's like Keystone Kops and the car is buzzing around defying physics with too much grip for the tires that it's running and accel and decel are too good. Also, the up and down motions are wrong so I get motion sick trying to cope.

My question is this: The chip has the ability to output in VGA mode. Does that mean that I can conceivably play on my computer monitor (which should automatically adujust framerate) and get the right speed?

Any geeks out there know for sure? Matrix (modchip guys) couldn't tell me for sure...

As for Ben's speed, he's good no doubt. Let's see if Curtis can further drop the NTSC time.

I am the biggest loser when it comes to compromise. I either have a killer T1 with a crappy finish or a crappy T1 with a killer finish.

T1: 0:29.982 (had 29.294 but crashed going into the tunnel)
T2: 1:01.825

Faster overall by .7 seconds.

I was playing my PS2 through my monitor for a while, I bought the S-Video connection and it played fine (I do have an LCD though), I eventually decided that kicking back on the couch was a much more comfortable way of playing GT, dunno if that helps?!?

 

[quati]

the car handle is just excelent!!!!!!
my T-Times:

T1 - 00'30.063
T2 - 01'02.591

Very very nice combo this week! ^^

Francisco, please PM me about that CD, please! [o=

 

[Laurence5905]

Well, I had an extra 45 minutes this evening, so I practiced a bit... Improved my times quite a bit -- which means I'm still about an hour behind all the Div 1 players.

T1: 31.291 (1.159 sec faster)
T2: 1'04.767 (1.358 sec faster)
END: (1.4xx sec faster)

 

[MisterWeary]

New splits for me:

T1: 0'29.800
T2: 1'01.203

Shame about my crappy T1, 0.3 there would have been very nice in this lap. But I'm starting to work this out a bit 👍

[KLR142]

I might "man up" and give this a real go later tonight after I finish my "work out session" of DDR... Hehehe.

Plan on my joining the bottom of D2 for now...

And, I can't NOT do this race, I HAVE to support the WRS on it's birthday, right?

 

[Jake]

I don't care if I come in last. This is truely fun! 👍

30.672
1'02.963

 

[KLR142]

T1: 29.963(29.4/29.54x)
T2: 1'01.400(1'00.4)
(goals/seen)
RS tires and 590hp...

Let's just say, first impressions don't mean ANYTHING! Tis a great combo, even if it scares me off at first. A decent bit of challenge to it. I just had to get over the fact that I've been toting around in other cars, and let myself adjust. I knocked 20 seconds off of my first lap tonight almost, lol, granted, there was one spin, and the next lap was about 12 seconds faster than that, but yeah. I'm looking for almost 2 seconds off of my current lap at the finish. We'll see.

EDIT: FWIW, I was driving with 390 gearing to theoretically allow me to get on the gas sooner with less torque in each of the gears. Well, kinda anyway. Didn't try it using 6 gear this time, maybe my next stint though.

Another session:

[Tedehur]

Enough tested for today, I decided it was time to have a break and give a try to this week's combo.
9 laps, and my best clean :
T1 = 30.454
T2 = 1'02.920

Lots of time to save since I'm still at a level of performance where I can be 0.3 behind my ghost at T1 and 0.7 ahead at T2
Jake, get out of my way

 

[Toffe]

Hi everyone!

Been some time since I was here, have had a lot school work.

Like this combo!!! Very nice:tup: Started with this today. After 1,5 hours this is my splits:

T1: 29.644
T2: 1'01.109

More to come!

 

[Tedehur]

Welcome back Toffe.
It looks like the title of the race this week was made for you

Welcome back indeed! Just curious, seeing that you're from sweden, do you love, or HATE volvos? Lol.

And MAN, I think I'm going to have to change my goal time for T1... Just saw a 29.2 T1... And then stuffed it by going to fast AND turning in too late going up the left hill crest thingy before T2. I don't know if I'll be able to beat my goal T2 time though, or my goal 2 seconds faster overall. This is only my second half hour into it though, so there's lots of time to find out!

 

[Clemi_uk]

Hey guys i'm bit new here (2nd day) and are still waiting to be placed in a devision. Couldn't wait so i got my fingers down to job at hand...

I edited your post because we're not supposed to discuss lap time, and hiding the tenths, hundreths and thousandths is not enough.
When my kids are gone to bed I'll deal with the latest registrations, including yours. 👍

 

[Clemi_uk]

Thx man & sry bout the time post.

 

[KLR142]

!!!!!!!!
Oh my goodness! I just had a FIREBALL of a session. VERY balls to the wall if you pardon my usage, Neil. I was just about to come back and post my latest splits, which were .7 overall faster than my current posted splits, but for some reason, I decided to keep going... I felt a streak in me. I HAD been doing about one lap, and then if I mess up the next one's beginning or whatever, just restarting. These next three laps though, I just went at it, kept going...

First lap, I was ahead of my ghost the wholetime, but ended up only finishing about .1xx ahead of him. Second lap, was NUTS! Fastest T1, Fastest T2, and by FAR the fastest T3! It was a whole half a second faster than the first lap! Third lap, I knew I was still onto something, and put down my fastest T1(well, and clean right after anyway) of 29.38x, and fastest T2 of 1'00.60x(even with a lil mistake), but lost speed at the end to my second lap. It was nuts. Very nuts. I'm very glad I kept at it...

So, here's my fastest laps splits(about 3 hours into the combo I think):
T1: 29.536(29.3xx)
T2: 1'00.663(1'00.4xx still)
T3: 1'xx.xxx(another .2 or .3 hopefully)

Before I said I'd like 2 seconds off of my earlier split's final time, hahahah, yeah right! I'll settle for about 1.5 or 1.75 seconds faster... Currently I'm 1.3ish seconds faster. Didn't think I had it in me though until that last 3 lap session though!!!

Very well chuffed. No I'm not english. I just like using their wording sometimes...
