Holy crap, this is a workout session we're talking 'bout here! If this continues I'm gonna have to go shower every 5 laps! The A/C isn't working here damnit... :grumpy:

Pretty decent numbers so far: :)

T2: 1'06.084
T4: 2'12.722
T7: 3'51.657
T9: 4'46.798

PS: Why is PunkBastard Flex pointing at me at the top of my screen? :scared:
 
I am SO in this week! I've been running the Ring for about a week non-stop, but with the AMUSE S2k GT1. *Turns on PS2* See y'all in the results thread.
 
Okay, I've now got my T7 in a semi-competitive position, so all I've got to do now is get my T8/T9 down and I think we'll be in business. These will not be my final times posted for the night, but they mark an improvement:

T2: 1'06.135 (love to break into 1'05 at some point)
T4: 2'14.902
T7: 3'56.575
T9: 4'52.423 - but this is where I don't know the corners ... plenty to be made up and I'm confident of running sub 50's, maybe even tonight.

Okay, back to my cup of tea and a few more laps.

I know who I'm chasing this week :)

Now I know who to look out for this week. :D

I've gone as far as leaving my ghost 3 seconds behind but I just ****ed it all up by spunning out right before the second karussel!! Oh man am I pissed off right now... I feel like an ass. :banghead:

haha...I already knocked off 2 seconds but I'm not sure if it's dirty or not (haven't had the opportunity to check in photomode yet) But I know I can still beat that :)
 
Alright!

BIG improvement for me, as I found a better line through T2, and I had great exit speed out of a couple corners. My only mistakes are slow exit speed onto a straightaway, and slow speed during one of the sharp corners during that same straightaway, just before the hairpin (which is just before karusell 1...)

T2 - 1'06.083
T4 - 2'12.490
T7 - 3'50.589
T9 - 4'44.553

:)
 
OH
MY
GOD

I must have done 2 complete laps in as many hours ... and SIX BLOODY TRILLION RE-STARTS! ARGH! This has to be one of the most frustrating, annoying ... and down right THRILLING ... combos EVER.

I HATE YOU CFM!

And Yet, I love you at the same time. Curious.

Well, I finally got the times I wanted to for this evening ... now I can concentrate on refining these over the next few days.

T2: 1'05.833 :) Knew I could get it.
T4: 2'13.736
T7: 3'54.346
T9: 4'49.876

Hopefully a few of the D3 regulars will start posting times soon, so it'll give me something to chase.

And I've got to know what the heck SimRaceDriver is doing :crazy:
 
Some good times coming in.... i havnt had a chance to get into yet, looks like my weekend has be planned..... im such a party animal,lol...


👍
 
What's the best way to take the right hand corner just before T2? I find that I can lose .4 to .5 seconds here easily, and yet I'm never sure what I did differently than the times before.
 
this is hard work - im all thumbs it seems- they hurt lol 👍

t2 getting 1'05.xx pretty consistantly :dopey:
can't remember the other times

kolyana - you want to be on the gas (3rd for me) as early as possible should be in forth about half way to the bridge

d3 ds2
 
I haven't been able to run today. When I get off work thursday, it's on.

Your times are good. Now I have someone to chase. 👍
 
I was really slow in the first 4 sectors but managed to pick it up in the last 7 or 8. Finished 3secs faster than my previous best, and most importantly, it was a perfectly clean lap. :)

New time:

T2: 1'06.261 :yuck: :yuck: (0.6XX secs slower than my best T2)
T4: 2'12.513
T7: 3'51.063
T9: 4'44.441 :sly: :sly:

Old time:

T2: 1'06.084
T4: 2'12.722
T7: 3'51.657
T9: 4'46.798
 
"T2: 1'05.833 Knew I could get it."

WOW! lol that's stellar - great job. I've only done a couple T2's better than that...

I come in as hard as possible into that corner, braking as late as I can, and then on the gas after I've braked enough to clear the apex.

Damn that's fast! 👍
I know I can still knock off a second or so, looks like I'm going to need to :)

ahhhhhhhhhhh, yes ... I have a tendency to ALWAYS brake before a corner and then drive through, but sometimes I've seen you guys braking INTO a corner and thus carrying some speed through it ... I'll need to try that out.

Heeeeeeeeey, leave me alone! I'm chasing the guys up front, I don't want no one overtaking me!

Same here. I know I can take a couple of corners flatout but I hesitated. :guilty:

I can smell the competition in here, and it smells good, just like my sweaty knuckles. :odd:
 
improved by .8

1'04.974
2'10.343 (loosing too much time here, not sure why)
3'47.230
4'40.265 (loosing too much time here also, need to find why)
 
Finally could make some time for this week's WRS (work sucks). Did about 5 laps and at least one was clean with these splits :

T2 - 1:05.846
T4 - 2:13.578
T7 - 3:53.205
T9 - 4:49.912

Still learning the last 3rd of the 'nurb though (corners before the long straight), and hopefully I can improve a bit over this !
 
Old - New
1'04.902 - 1'04.719
2'10.261 - 2'10.163
3'46.700 - 3'46.514
4'39.607 - 4'39.442

Lost that .8 in T9 - T10 but than gained .2 in the final sector.

Improved by .2, but it should of been 1 second!! :grumpy:

With my new times i improved again by .2 but still loosing .8 in last sector!!!.
 
Hi everyone,

Not sure who updates the leaderboard this week (Small_Fryz ?) but me, ballstothewall and villianpl are all 3 in Division 2, not Division 3. Thanks for the updates ! 👍
 
Thanks for that Kragbees, but villianpl is still div3 as far as i know.
 
Thanks Small_Fryz ! Not sure either, but on the WRS Leaderboard (flat-out's), it shows us 3 in Division 2. No problem mate !

Nice times b.t.w. , I'm using your times to compare and race against haha, but they are damn fast ...
 
If you look in Cyrils leaderboard thread you will see CFM state that villainpl is Div3 still.

Im aiming for a top 5 this week, So far ive been drafting alpine and CFM, but now ive pased them i have no one to draft as the top 3 are too far ahead :grumpy:. Now CFM, alpine and me need to work as a team and chase down the leading 3!!.

:lol:

:lol:

vilianpl is in Div.2, Villenueve81 is in Div.3. Similar names in different divisions. ;)

Nice splits there Dion, I'll see if I can close the gap when I get a chance.👍

use this to navigate the nurb. If you want a section discused just look at that and you can put names to corners. If someone is asking about x corner, check that and you will soon see wtf they are on about. Very helpful 👍
