GT4 WRS Week 78 : "Downtown Racing"

[Small_Fryz]

But dont take my word for it yet lol, shockwaves the one with the mega splits.

 

[Kent]

Well, just as I expected, my times are slow.

1'12.2?? Last T time

The back straight is easier to see on the roof and same for the odd right hand turn just after the first double.
All in all I may be slower but the game is much more fun with a great view. 👍
My greatest pleasure is the view of my ghost or other cars... GT4 looks amazing and after all this time I'm finally seeing the races as they were meant to be (or atleast, in a view other than "kiddie").

This is a great race too. Very fast and controlled on a track that seems to have tons of potential (especially with times like mine).
Back later to update any progress I make.
Until then,

I don't like driving racing cars, but I cannot resist a race at Tokyo II. I'll give this a go later on.

Improved a little:

35.369 1'11.220

 

[OnlyMe]

First run, 10 laps

T1: 35.794
T2: 1'12.170

 

[Tomf4i03]

Fun combo!
So far ..
35.278
111.313

 

[errk]

I've been using TCS and ASM on my best runs. What is everybody using?

 

[Jake]

great combo... After 11 laps using 340 gearing I got a 1.12.xxx T2. I see all kinds of potential for shaving seconds off.. Just need to put in a ton of time on this one though. I can see there is stiff competition already

no driving aids... yet...

Edit: new splits:

35.373
1'11.727

 

[daan]

First set of splits from me

35'647
1'11.221

D2 - DFP

I messed up slightly on 2 corners, so I should be able to beat it, but I just can't seem to put a whole lap together.

 

[Ren-Tec]

Im with David as in i don't get on with race car but maybe im getting better i don't know

Its hard to keep it off the wall and us all the track in this one. Lots of time to be had with a good smooth clean lap but im not there yet. My first splits after half an hour.

T1: 34.822
T2: 1'10.749

I must be going mad because with i crossed the line for the first lap. I saw the time and my brain told me that i was 20 somethink seconds off. How come im so slow , so i sat there scratching my head for a minute. 💡 Then i remembered that it was T2 splits that are posted on in this thread and felt much better

 

[Super T]

Slight improvement over my other splits.

T1 0'35.701
T2 1'11.622

My next lap was going even quicker, (a low 35 @ T1), until I stuffed it into the wall in the high speed S-bend after T1, probably too busy watching the split times.

Should be able to go faster still, I just hope I can a least keep up with you guys this week.

Changed to 330 gearing, RS tyres (I had to double check last night after smashing my original splits) and no aids.

Darren.

@errk: No TCS and no ASM, unless we're racing in GT Mode they are usually just a hindrance 👍

 

[Mr P]

Just ran an hour on this to get aquainted and so far my best save has ...

34.268 / 1'09.455

Trying like hell to get close to Shockwave at T1 but I can't do it I reckon another .1 for me at T1 possibly ... I knew the DS2 would struggle on this track against the wheel as its so flowing ... but I still wanna just ask if Shockwave is running R4's and not R5's?
no offence mate! ... just cant get over that T1 as mines looks pretty solid 👍

 

[Small_Fryz]

I'm currently chasing a 34.3/1'09.5 dirty but damn, Im finding it hard to beat it

Shockwaves times are indeed quite crazy

 

[Mr P]

34.288 / 1'09.343 a few more tenths left at T2 for me ... but no 1'08 I fear

Same happened to me. Figured it was the fact that I didn't change power to +20% and weight to -10%. Changed it & wondered why I only gained a couple secs. Then I realized...

Can't remember split1
T2 = 1'11.000

All aids on, auto transmission

Don't think I'm driving too well. Hope to get more off later

I would say your T2 is good if your in D2. 👍 wow I didn't know that WRSers used Auto tranny.

Jason i used to use auto tranny all the time until i started doing the WRS here. Its made me a much better driver, now i try not to use any aids and no auto tranny at all

 

[Small_Fryz]

34.288 / 1'09.343 a few more tenths left at T2 for me ... but no 1'08 I fear

34.199 (still .1 or so left or maybe a bit more..)
1'09.404 (Like a yoyo in this section, if i nail it with a decent T1 should be close to an 08..

and i lost .15 in last sector compared to my best.

All in all i think i can get another .5 maybe .6, but after that i dont know.

yep, that's the way it should be... 👍

 

[STLbarcelona5]

Spent about 15 minutes on this earlier in the evening. I remember running T1 around 35.2ish and T2's of around 1'11.000. But unlike last week, I'm definitely going to be spending some time on this. After my math mid-term on Friday and two papers...

 

[AngelCreator]

I try this today and it's fun, don't remember my T's but I will try this more tomorrow.

 

[Blake]

This is an interesting combo. Count me in for the week.

T1 – 0'35.014
T2 – 1'10.516

Div 2, DS2, 340 gearing, no aids.

I’ve got at least 3 tenths left, but I want to drop 5 tenths so I can get into the 9s for T2. I’ll spend some more time on this later.

 

[stidriver]

div1
34.567
1'09.760

 

[AngelCreator]

See it's so bad here is it sti. If you have the car you can race and see how
you do against the best driver's on GTP. Now if I could only go faster.

Yes having the car is a good thing. This track give some trouble, so running it a good thing to do. Plus I do not use arcade mode alot as it's handling puzzles me.

 

[ßen]

Even though I'll probably sit out this week, I decided to attempt it with my new DFP. Fun, and once I get used to it hopefully I'll speed up.

T2-1'14.353
Slow for a Div1, but meh.

 

[Ren-Tec]

Whoo hoo got me some new splits witch i think are gonna put me in a good position, super happy with them. Don't think there is much left in there for me, maybe i lost .200 before T2.

T1: 34.356
T2: 1'09.487

Board Updated

 

[Blake]

T1 – 0'34.946
T2 – 1'10.282

There’s at least 0.2 left for me in T1, I don’t know how much is left in T2. It was a pretty scrappy lap, I hope I can go at least 0.3 faster.
