GT4 WRS Week 59 : "United States Grand Prix"

[Jump_Ace]

Man o man how embarassing this is....I think I tuned my f1 up to +10 and NOT -10%hp....ARGH! I guess I should calm down and really find some reasonable time to drive instead of squeezing in 20 min or there...my apologies guys...*SLAP!...How Dare You!....Please Forg-*SLAP!*
I hopefully will find time to rerun this after I do more bc stuff this week

Funny, I wonder who else is running +10.....

I had a feeling...

And that feeling continues...

Lol.

I think you are right, for some reason I don't think it makes a difference which tire you choose as during a saved replay it will show up as RM/RM even after choosing RSS/RSS.

Interesting, I hadn't caught that... I did try out RSH tires though, and then went to RSS tires and it made NO difference.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention... What BC stuff HAVE you been doing? I didn't see any thing...

Needs improvement though. Lots of improvement.

Mainly jsut testing some of the combos listed seeing which ones I like and dontlike, some of them multilappers..ugh! But its worth it dont get me wrong.
Gave it another whack today for about 20 min and came up with a T2 of 49.5 but stuffed the ending...

@Laurence- You like your F1 cars, huh? Have fun, but not too much fun, you hear?

I always seem to do better on the faster cars. (and this is about as fast as they come, no?) I'm not sure if I'll need more work on this time. I've got the braking points on the first turn and the turn after T1, but not sure about the last turn...

T1-'21.835
T2-'50.202

EDIT: Ignore this post. See post #78 and #103.

Negative 10 % horsepower?! DAYUM you two are quick. And Jerome, see, I'm not in the 49s... I'm sitting down right now for a half an hour or so, we'll see what I can come up with. Hopefully I don't have to he shamed by D3 like this.

 

[KLR142]

T1: 21.030
T2: 50.915

Starting to almost get the hang of it... I really don't like the way the walls and corners stick out on this track though. I don't even mean the visible sticking out parts. I mean like the inside of the corners on some turns, in this car anyway, if you try to cut the corner even a little up on the curbs(not that it's faster, because it isn't), it's like the corner is invisible and sticks out over the curbing almost. Blech. Whateva, to tired to work on going faster right now, stayed up too late last night.

Gnight!/Gmorning!

Haven't had a run for a couple of days but I'll get some more time over the weekend. Not sure where to aim for though, another 0.5 I guess would be nice.

 

[steven]

still lots of practice needed ...
23.700 - 56.316
the -10% is, i think, my doing: i asked flatty to restrict the f1 speed because otherwise i and other lagging d3 players might get dizzy.

Hmmm, me is not on the board?

Well without the T1 I didn't know it was an "official" lap or just an indicator of what you've been running, but I've put it on now 👍

Me neither...

See post #54 for my splits.

 

[sausages]

21.448
49.624

using TCS and gears at 340.

My first race in the WRS was at NY (fwd) just over a year ago - but in the Dodge SRT so whilst a bit like coming full circle for me this is a different kettle of fish entirely. I always struggle a bit with the faster combos - suppose my reflexes just aren't up to it

Oops, my bad, forgot the T1

New splits so far:

T1: 21.945
T2: 51.958

Umm, I screwed up. I ran stock, not -10%.

Bad bad news. I'm still beating you. Sorry!

You're struggling?

T1 21.339
T2 50.684

I've been using the gears at 340, it tops out before the braking area but IMO the trade off for acceleration is worth it. Still no aids but I might give it a go with TCS later.

I think this'll be about my limit though as I'm not making huge gains in any particular area. I'd like to get my T2 under the 50 second barrier at least.

Sorry about mising you there Laurence 👍

 

[Lee]

Think this week will mark my return to action. 👍

 

[HeinrichII]

20.909

The thing I hated about this lap is that I lost about .3 secs on the last turn...well at least I nailed a clean one.

Looks like Heinrich (sorry if I misspelled it dude) are pretty close, I too missed atleast .1 on the final turn....argh! But atleast now I have clean splits with the CORRECT settings....ggrr.....
Oh and fyi...today is my 1 year anniversary with joining the WRS!! YAY!!!

Its been hard for me to get a clean lap plus I havent had much time to play. I graduate High School soon and need to pass trig.
What gearing are you guys running?

Flizola I am right behind you again but oh well. Not many division three guys read this I guess.

T1 21.964
T2 51.296

Plenty of time to be lost but cant seem to shed it. 💡

Same here with the whole, end of year high school work mess. As far as the game. It's been a few days since I've gotten the times (usually mid to low 50.xxx's). But I know that I was on 340 gearing, using TCS. Well actually not sure on the gearing, either 340 or one click to the left from default, never had a problem hitting the rev limiter in 7th either.
