GT4 WRS Week 63 : "Bet on Red and Odd"

[steven]

The Ring is also called : the Green Hell.

i know my friend, my referral was an adaptation to that.

And as I said it'll be in a race car, chances are it's not gonna be slow.

ah now i remember you said that.

But it remains do-able : the track is unforgiving, but the car handles really well and allows some mistakes.

you just keep the suspense high-up. from tuesdayevening on our week will be different.

btw will it be a normal one-week wrs? then you might just as well allow some minor offs or i'll be dead

Next week will be double-length because....
... we're gonna drive a race car at the 'Ring.

Last time we allowed minor offs this place pretty much exploded. I can't see it happening again any time soon.

New splits for me:

T1: 0`30.005
T2: 1`19.521

I figured something out about this car too, it oversteers when you're turning with no throttle or brake. So allowing some coasting on each corner allows you to turn with a little more corner speed. But getting it right is tough work, enjoying the challenge though 👍

P.S If nothing else, this tyre thing is making the leaderboard look different

Update on my time before sleep. I checked the replay and looks to be clean.

T1: 29.245
T2: 1:17.827

*Oops* Sorry Just copied what was on paper

Must be the tires this week... Div 3 leading on the 'board? And not just one (that would be a fluke) but TWO of 'em up there?! That's a trend!

This is the first chance this week that I've had to check in -- just ran about 20 laps, and here are my splits:

T1: 30.439
T2: 1'20.698

What a fun little car!! It can definitely get a little squirrelly if you're not careful, but overall quite a fun combo!

👍 Cyril. Welcome back.

If I were a moderator I'd moderate that post so hard....

 

[MisterWeary]

I'd moderate your avatar

 

[Casio]

I'd moderate your sister.

Again.

 

[MisterWeary]

Oh I get it, you're using the term "moderate" as a euphemism. Well you know what they say about euphemisms, they make an a$$ out of "eu" and not..."phemism"?!?!?!?!?!?...(that's the best I could do before "The Office" started)

 

[Super T]

Board time submitted.

Saving myself for "The Green Hell", at least we get two weeks on it.

@Colby, the username makes much more sense now.

lol, yeah it was too late in the evening to think of a comeback. I'm going to bed, you win Brad

 

[EG6_GUY]

Onething is how can EG6_GUY be in div3
like me but can beat div2 and div1 driver's. I don't get it.

My WRS qualifier time came after a long break from GT. Now that I'm back in the swing of things, I hope to keep improving my lap times.

You guys running on Hard tires are amazing!!

I am on Soft tires this week, which in reality, puts me a few seconds slower than the Division 1 guys.

I am sure those in charge of the WRS will move me up in Division when/if they feel I belong there. Until then, I earned my place in Div. 3.👍

 

[KLR142]

so i will not stick to it but just wait for tuesday evening.

If you don't stick to it, how do you expect to learn and improve? But if you'd rather not, I can understand that as well, just saying that sometimes it's nice to even do a tough combo, because you have the ability to learn so much from it.

I don't see why he said anything, considering he's just as fast as you... And there's another guy up there too now, ahead of both of you guys... I don't know how much time either of you three spent on the qualifier, but it very well may have been less time than you spend on your weekly races. I say I did the same thing when I submitted my qualifier over a year ago, took me a few weeks to get out of D3, but I enjoyed near the top/at the top finishes until I got promoted. You guys'll find your way out, no worries! 👍 Just keep trying.

I got no answer from Flat-out yet, I suppose I've to choose sports hard, so these are my splits so far using my oldie DS2:

T1 -> 0:29.709
T2 -> 1:17.989

OK this is to clear that up dear kyle. there are two things i want to do (in order of importance):
- have more fun playing gt4, together with gtp more than alone
- learn and improve my driving style
sometimes it just happens that the man from france comes up with a combo where the first point doesn't happen. in that case i consider skipping a week and focus on my other olr stuff. i always have 1 or 2 more competitions i join besides wrs otherwise it's not fun enough (arc, gtx/str, dan's 2.3).
all that said, another issue is that i like gaining points for the leaderboard. thus even for this week i did scrape out a clean lap (hours not minutes ) which i submitten to flatty just for getting bottomofthelist points.

Yikes on hards...you're Div 1 👍

I'm in a similar situation this week. I was gutted a couple of weeks ago when I missed the submission deadline as it meant my (very short) WRS career had a DNF. I'd like to have kept my participation in the WRS to submitting every week, not because I want to beat any records for most WRS events competed in, I've only been here since week 52 so there's no chance of that, it's just for my own personal satisfaction.

I've submitted my time already as I've spent my last two sessions getting more and more frustrated because I'm not even getting close to beating my own time, let alone anyone else's, off the top of my head, I think I need around another .3 to move up just one place on the leaderboard which I'm fairly certain I'm not going to get so if I'm last this week, so be it.

I'm sure Cyril will something out of the bag I like soon enough. You can't please all of the people all of the time. With that said, I think this is only the third challenge I've really struggled to get to grips with so thats not a bad hit rate so far Flattie.

I guess after I saw EG6_GUY time I did not know why he was in div3.
But I guess I just don't try hard enough because i'm sure I could get
good time more, I guess we will see next week. I will try even harder
and try to get a good time.

Div3 is making a comeback!!

 

[LeadSlead#2]

I don't like monaco, and im so busy, guess i'll skip some sleep here....

 

[MisterWeary]

I'm submitting. I have a friend staying with me for a few days and so I won't get to race before submission time. I quite enjoyed the race during the minimal time I got to spend on it but I'll have to settle with my lametastic effort 👍

 

[Super T]

Is it just me or is it starting to sound like we've all turned into a bunch of slackers this week?

Come back Dan, we need you to make us all feel bad about our times.

Darren.

Shhhh, you're going to make me feel bad about myself... Hehehe.

[Casio]

Argh. Beat my old time by .2, with a .3 slower T1! Problem is I brushed the wall (Lost .3mph on the analsyer), so I have to get back at it...

Positive, the limit I was going for just lowered a bit, so should be easier to get in it.

Ime Tin.

Very unhappy with myself.

 

[STLbarcelona5]

Well I finally put together a lap that I'm happy with. Well happy with considering that I've only had two days to work on it.

[KLR142]

Ended up going out last night... Anywho, just put something crappy together in the last half an hour, better than nothing!

 

[eclipsee]

Time sent, my final splits have been:

T1 -> 0:29.643
T2 -> 1:17.523
