GT4 WRS Week 6: "Step Into the Ring!"

[veilsidebr]

That's what i am getting to, most of the time! But my real problem is in the t6-t9 sectors.

It's mainly in my head, i know, but some corners just scare me stiff!

I can't get the 'Karussel' right! I either go into it too slow and take it in 2nd, up to 3rd for the exit, or too fast and exit SLOW!

How are you fast guy's taking it?

I can't use the pavement on the inside, it's just not in my nature! Opinions?

Start by going pretty fast. Ur geting almost the karousell yourself, so ur in that straight well before it. When u get the last apex before the karousell, like 30 m before it, brake it and down to 3th gear all the way. Start accelerating and after 1 second put your 2th gear and start playing with the car´s anger. Don´t let it go away from the banked corner, try to play with its anger and so when u get about the half of karousell, just put full acceleration so u will get flat out in that very first apex after karousell, and u will get pretty fast there. 👍

Thought that approach would work, but it take's pinpoint accuracy to get it right and i don't seem to be there yet! will get there though! i think that the key to getting it right is having the balls to 'peg' it through the previous complex and keep your speed up around the right b4 the Karussel!

just IMHO

Time as of the moment:

[Large_Fryz]

Hi guys.

I still think this car is a 4x4 as its always heading for the bush and trying to climb the nearest wall, instead of staying on the tarmac!

Some times for me.
1'06.386
2'13.896
3'53.991
4'52.209

Still need lots of improvements from T9 - finish (mostly uncharted territory), but the rest of the track i know quite well.

 

[Androoos]

I'm beginning to hate this car...it doesn't seem to want to turn in, where as all the other race cars I've driven on this track have no problem turning in, if I take the correct line. Maybe that's part of the challenge here...different car, different way of driving it.

My T2 is a consistent high 1:05, but I seem to lose it on the final 1/3 of the track. I had one lap this afternoon about 3 seconds faster than my best lap, I flew through Wipperman, Eschbach and Gruncchen, I get to Pflanzgarten and I hit this bump that I swear I've never hit before, it sent the car careening across the track backwards and into the armco.

After a few choice words 🤬 (and resisting throwing my control, as I know they're fragile) I decided to put the game away for the night. There are some awfully fast times being posted...the learning curve is pretty steep here!

 

[holl01]

my first run, but it should have been better, i made some mind boggling mistakes, one time i let the foot off the gas for half a second, it cost me .3, and i buggered the end like u would not believe. lost .4 on last sector alone

T2 1'04.632
T4 2'09.193
T7 3'44.224
T9 4'36.118

Leaderboard Updated!

Some very nice times!!, Im gonna get to work soon and see if i can catch the top guys!!, they are getting too far ahead!.

 

[Alpine3]

ARGHHH. Another hour of futility. Must be funny watching me play. Every few minutes i swear a couple of times or start rolling on the floor in agony.

Edit 1: Was thinking of a different time sector...
Edit 2: New times!!! WOOHOO

Old:----------------> New:
T2: 1'05.133 -----> 1'05.133
T4: 2'10.705 -----> 2'10.119 (Think i was .5s slower through T5 than the fastest i've been through there)
T7: 3'47.896 -----> 3'46.847
T9: 4'40.375 -----> 4'38.652

Managed to cross the line 2.2s faster.

 

[Z]

Ok, this is getting frustrating.. I'm hitting 2'10.5 consistently for T4, but now Ex Muhle is giving me problems. If it's not one corner, it's another. I'll get my next clean run in by the weekend at this rate. :/

 

[unified]

Oh, for the record, I'm using a DS2 Controller

 

[the real 6c]

wow, i guess i should run more laps before coming back here and comparing.

 

[Small_Fryz]

Nice times alpine!

New times from me (lost about .5 still from T9 - T11 )

1'05.053
2'09.872
3'45.773
4'38.273

Crossed the line 1.3 faster nearly at my goal.

Leaderboard updated

 

[Kolyana]

Well, I've found a line that's getting me .5 off T1 and consistently faster on T2 ... I'm also running 1.5 seconds faster by T5 ... but I can't hold the sucker for an entire lap ... really struggling tonight, may be pushing too hard, but I be damned if I'm going to bed before I've posted faster sectors.

I'm only posting now because I need to get away from the damned PS2 before my head explodes.

EDIT: Just ran my first 105.4 T2 ... which I'm happy with ... now if only I could keep this POS on the bloody track

EDIT #2: SLightly faster, but no where near fast enough ...

T2:1'05.455
T4: 2'13.273
T7: 3'52.515
T9: 4'48.725

At least it's a step in the right direction

 

[Teledriel]

CLEAR THE TRACK

 

[MR8]

Aww-right!! Thanks to a can of caffaine, I've pulled off a good one!

T2: 1'05.796
T4: 2'12.341
T7: 3'50.469
T9: 4'43.683

Old record:
T2: 1'06.275
T4: 2'12.210
T7: 3'50.726
T9: 4'44.246

My palm is burning!

 

[kragbees]

Had a few more (bloody 20 probably) re-starts last night, but finally got a better clean lap down ... I've been struggling with the last part of the track, but my overall time has improved by 2.5 sec.

T2 : 1:05,180 (good for me)
T4 : 2:12.093
T7 : 3:50.335
T9 : 4:46.463

Hectic race with the DFP !

 

[holl01]

update, bet my time by .5 with a better finish, even though my sector times are weaker.

T1 1'04.635
T4 2'09.332
T7 3'44.646
T9 4'36.125

 

[meeekael]

whats the deal with the "max speed" thing in quick tune? does that modify gear ratios? can we toy with it?

 

[Steve57]

OK some progress at last, small improvement but progress none the less.
T2 - 1.07.115
T4 - 2.16.261
T7 - 3.55.808
T9 - 4.50.997

Hi meeekael,

Yes you can change it, according to the fast guys around here the best setting is 320km/h (I think 200 miles per hour).

Probably does modify the ratios for all the gears same as Auto setting I think ...

 

[KLR142]

try shifting to 6th b4 the jump, and staying flat out for both turns.

should be around 167km/h mid apex of the corner

hope this helps you guys out

Thank you sir! Dropped my T2 to 2'05.8... Now if only I can keep it that fast and continue on... It's made a big improvement in my times, now if only I got to spend some time on the rest of the track before getting more than 2 wheels off.....

Still don't have a clean time yet. I might just do one just to get one up though... Argh. More in the morning, maybe... Or just saturday. I don't know how you guys have the time! w00!

 

[meeekael]

>_< getting frustrated as.

keeping going over the curbs way to hard with **** all control. :|

grrrrr.

 

[hOt6o4bOi]

beat my previous best by .7

still see .5 possibly if i pull it all together

t2 - 1'04.303
t4 - 2'08.552
t7 - 3'43.076
t9 - 4'33.952

 

[CFM]

beat my previous best by .7 t9 - 4'33.952

Slow down man, give us non-anrdoids a break!

Anyway I've some new splits, maybe more for me here than I thought at first my T1-T4 was pretty high on this one so I know there's still a chunk left. Too bad I'm going to be working 36 hours over the next three days. maybe I can sneak one more session in Monday night.

1'05.048 / 2'10.125 / 3'45.425 / 4'37.884

 

[kragbees]

Jeez I'm losing like 7 sec. from T4 (2 sec behind) to T9 (9 sec behind !) on your times ... if only I could stay like 2 sec behind all the way thru, that would be a much better time !

 

[Teledriel]

DNF after 4 1/2 hours

 

[ROB 256R]

Managed to hit my target time for this week so I'm very pleased about that. If i can go quicker it's a bonus but i'd be happy submitting what i've got so far.

T2 - 1'06.014
T4 - 2'12.504
T7 - 3'49.839
T9 - 4'43.065

Good job with the leaderboard small fryz 👍

 

[SimRaceDriver]

Slow down man, give us non-anrdoids a break!

C'mon there CFM...you're times are just as fast....heck...I'm pretty even w/you after T1...but from there though, you're spanking my a** big time!

I'm just glad you & Rob 256 are in Div 2!
