GT4 WRS Week 71 : "El Capit-"

[MisterWeary]

Board Initialised

 

[Tedehur]

I searched on the web for some settings, but they only gave the car a huge understeering tendancy, so here are my own craptastic settings :

Brake controller : 3 / 3 (didn't bother with this one)

Spring rate : 12.6 / 8.5 (the rear end is a bit all over the place, but as long as the front end goes where I want, that's ok for me)
Ride height : 68 / 71 (I like when the car is low and many people seem to fancy having the rear end higher than the front)
Dampers : 8 / 8 and 8 / 8 (I remember that the more I touch this, the less driveable the car is, so any default value is fine)
Camber angle : 2.0 / 1.0 (I don't care about dampers, see above, I care even less about angles)
Toe angle : 0 / 0 (see above)
Stabiliser : 6 / 4 (I already said that I like when the front end goes the way I want, and the rear end just has to follow)

Tranny : Auto 7 (no tranny trick, final at default 4.100)
Driving aids : 0 / 0 / 0
LSD : standard (let my wheels spin if they want to)


New splits :
42.681 - 1'20.716
34.227 - 1'11.122
34.491 - 1'11.749

 

[holl01]

41.428
1'17.9xx

32.984
1'09.000

32.855
1'08.977

need to refine some dumb corners, and the setup is non existent at the moment, i havent touched anything accept the gears, which are quite critical in this race. and i need to refine them also, tranny trick sort of works, the most important part is the start, will update this with another final session later, my finishes were horrible so i didnt save the replay, enjoyable, yet sometimes frustrating, particularly passing the RUF on the right sweeper, my blood was boiling at one stage, steam coming out of ears

thats my logic down to a T, the less things u change the more variables u introduce into the equation, and hence, the harder it will be to find and stick with a particular setup

 

[Ren-Tec]

Ok this is my first times with a clean lap
I had to go free run on this track first as i didn't know it at all, iv got the hang off it now thou.

T1
42.716
34.285
34.024

[Dr_Watson]

Cyril... you're getting clever you sly frenchman.

 

[Xenigma]

Before I make an attempt to run this, is a replay required with your times due to the new rule? I don't have a device for that (at least not yet), and don't want to waste my time and GT Credits by being disqualified from the event.

 

[rmk700]

0'43.361-1'20.541
0'34.649-1'11.624
0'34.115-1'11.007

 

[AngelCreator]

Here are my first T times, but with 282HP in the replay.

lap 2
T1-34:912
T2-1:12:276
lap 3

Just don't change the HP rules again please, my head is starting to hurt.

I had another source, where the character is called Han and means to amuse oneself, hence the Capit-Han
Nice find anyway, I was expecting a few of us to wonder what this character was doing here, but I didn't think someone would look for himself instead of asking and waiting for an answer. 👍

A replay will be requested if you run a top time in your own division. Check the results for last week : all names shown in 'gold color' are requested to provide a replay.

Mine too

Hi MisterWeary, I've notice that my splits aren't my lastest ones.
Those are:

0'42.042 - 1'18.735
0'33.538 - 1'09.663
0'33.934 - 1'10.403

Hope to improve on them soon

 

[shockwaveracing]

aight had a a quick 30 minutes on this so far and have managed to get these splits

42.375 - 1'19.372
33.570 - 1'09.927
33.547 - 1'10.001

heaps of time to be made up yet, probably another second a lap

oh and for all the people wanting to know how to get a good start, balance the revs at 7000-7500rpm and then floor it as you start, using gearing set at 9 you should haul lard off the line

 

[GT Pro]

Sounds fun. Though, posts in this thread certainly are quick.

 

[Randymcchickenf]

nothing fast enough so far, but i have seen DIRTY NOT FOR THE LEADERBOARD SPLITS
41.6 1'18.2
33.1 1'09.0
This race is fun, settings are standard, only changed gears. Tranny Trick, final 4.000

 

[GTmaniac]

Hey,got a decent time after 150km's or so:

41.6
1'17.6

33.0
1'08.7

33.1
1'08.9

Dunno why I'm loosing so much in T1 compared to Dan?!

Sweet combo,but I really need a good setup if I'm to continue racing at this one.I'm not the setup guy...the more I experiment with it,the worst it gets.

 

[ßen]

I'm giving this a go in a minute. Last chance I'll have till Friday morning!
As I said earlier, WRS should be made a legal requirement.
Bye for now.

[shockwaveracing]

well sapent some more time on this combo, and i have to say it is quite addictive...

41.760 - 1'18.056 (saw a 41.3xx - 1'17.4xx lap, but ballsed up the next lap)
33.344 - 1'09.364
33.204 - 1'09.284

still another 1.5 - 2 seconds left in it from what i can see...

 

[E30 Evo Sport]

Would someone mind explaing what the tranny trick is all about. Does it give that car more power or?

FUnny thing about this combo. I was running it a week ago with stock settings on the R1 to beat the AI wrs style. Let me tell you it was no easy feat. GT mode is always more fun.

 

[ßen]

Phwoar!!! What a mother of a combo!

First Splits:

Lap 1-
T1- 42.421
T2-1'19.234

Lap 2-
T1- 34.122
T2- 1'10.467

Lap 3-
T1- 33.909
T2-1'10.407

I can shave a fair bit off yet. The car has so much grip!

 

[Tedehur]

Tranny trick

 

[E30 Evo Sport]

THanks I will try that out see if I improve. I cant for the life of me get under 43sec in the first lap on T1. I might be too nice with the AI.

that's how i roll.

The dictionary I found didn't give the "han" part... but the definition in simplified chinese is listed as "amusement"; pretty much the same.
I'd assume "to amuse oneself" comes into play when it's put into context.
Chinese is fun like that, same character can have 10 different meanings depending on how its used.

 

[Sjaak]

First clean laps. ,

I think I will get nightmares about that yellow wall before T1.

42.774
1'19.355

33.802
1'10.462

33.777
1'10.565

laters,

 

[Tedehur]

Look carefully next time you crash in this wall : there must be tons of debris from the numerous cars I've crashed here.

 

[E30 Evo Sport]

First T times with clean laps:

T1's
42.229 (seen 41.6)
33.442
33.418

T2's
1.18.893
1.10.093
1.09.769

lots of time left, but Im finding it really hard to remain consistent through out the 3 laps. Also depends on what group of AI you're paired with.

I love the track and the car so this should be easy to do.
