[Small_Fryz]

updating the leaderboard now, give us 30min or so.

 

[Kolyana]

Do you never go to bed?

 

[Teledriel]

Yea he does .. when you are awake most times.. he on those odd hours like me... from the other side of the world, just he completly other side, and down under

 

[Kolyana]

I thought I had his schedule figured out, but he keeps cropping up at all sorts of weird hours.

 

[Small_Fryz]

done!

I notice a few of you are posting the same t times in different locations if you must post them 2nd time around put them in quote tags, i ignore all t times in quote tags.

Its currently 3:49pm for me, i update the leaderboard from around 12pm (2am GMT) - 11pm (1pm GMT) and luxy does the other 13 hours.

 

[Kolyana]

Koylana

Nope ... like standard said a few pages back ... Kolyana. please.

Well I shaved a full 3 sec. off my previous time at the line ! I'm happy with my time now, so VTEC Guy : eat my dust haha 👍 Looking good for a top 10 finish dude !

T1 : 29,640
T2 : 1:01,531
T3 : 1:27,410
T4 : 1:49,307
T5 : 2:16,930
T6 : 2:45,673

Don't think I can go any faster than this, as this is drving on the total limit !

Can't believe that gold is actually way too easy to get on this one haha

 

[MinorShunt]

Seems I'm addicted to this challenge.. shaved .4

T6: 2'43.198

Alright Z. Be that way. Goin' off and playin' way up there with the D1 guys.

Just ran my first serious session for the week. Felt real good about it! Should be right up there again Right? Check the leaderboard. ( 👍 luxy and small fryz)Should be.......OMG! 3 seconds off? NOT GOOD!

Loooooooong way to go. Looks like curb jumpin's how to make time here. But I don't see 3 seconds worth of curb ta jump.

Splits

T1- 30.081
T2- 1'02.817
T3- 1'28.257
T4- 1'50.046
T5- 2'18.251
T6- 2'46.145

I gotta say. It's a colorful leaderboard right now. Blue, orange, and green all jumbled up. Will be interesting to see how it all sorts out.

And Z, just slow down a little ok? Otherwise your fellow D2ers are gonna have to get rough with ya. LOL.

 

[Large_Fryz]

I managed to shave some more off.
Still bloody hairy though.

30.077
1'02.811
1'28.986
1'50.786
2'18.764
2'47.554

 

[kragbees]

Thanks for updating the leaderboard, not sure who it was ... but my T1 time is 29,640, not 39,640 haha

 

[KLR142]

Good run. Bar duly raised

I won't get to this for a good few hours yet, but you've given me something to chase.

YOU've got something to chase?! Jeeeez, I gave this thing a run for 20 minutes before work, didn't put together a full lap, tried doing it in time trial mode, but I don't think the stability management settings are the same in each, and I don't know what they are so I can't use them in GT mode(or is it only traction control that's on???). So I went back to the track, could do better through T4ish, but I really have no clue what I'm doing on this course yet... I have some MAJOR catching up to do...

So how many of us here have absolutely crushed the entire course, way ahead of your last fast lap, and then totally F'ed it up on the very last chicane?

Hell yeah! I was 6.5 seconds ahead! But this was on my first day, so the previous attempt wasn't even a gold license yet... Lol, but still, it'd be faster than my current fastest lap.

I think this'll take a good bit of time to get used to, just like the ring... But, I don't have that much time this week... Unless I do NOTHING on saturday, but I REALLY want to go to the BEACH!

Good luck peoples, and good luck to myself! I need it!

 

[Speedy Samurai]

Alright! managed a couple clean laps

T1: 29.823
T2: 1'02.285
T3: 1'28.455
T4: 1'50.125
T5: 2'17.631
T6: 2'46.139

of course, i can obviously go faster

edit: and I did go faster, by 3 seconds!

Sick time KB,
I've been improving my time by the hundreths but im gonna spend a couple of hours on getting it into the 2'46 - 2'47 area today. I have an apprenticeship interview first so i'll get back to it when I get home. I'm currently 8th out of all the division 3 drivers in this event. I'm going for a top 5 now lol.
Cya y'all!

Come on, you know what I mean - I'm saying that if by now you haven't been ABLE to unlock or finish the S license then you probably aren't going to snatch a podium. I wasn't talking about people who haven't got around to it yet.

Oh okay, sorry I didn't know what you meant 👍

Is it quite common to have WRS events involving cars/events that aren't immediately available/purchasable? This is only my second week here and already I've lost track time because of this, just wondering what to expect.

 

[ZeratulSG]

All righty, I finally ran my first session last night, though my times are way off the pace so far, so I won't bother posting them here yet. I'm assuming everyone is making full use of "legal" (for this week) corner cutting everywhere? It's insane how much time you can gain by doing this, but it feels like a different track in some sectors, I have to learn it all over again

D2, some awesome times popping up, the bar keeps rising and I'm still warming up

Is everyone taking the Dunlop chicane in 2nd or 3rd? And are you cutting it? Any tips from the more experienced LMP drivers here would be great 👍

 

[ROB 256R]

OK, this is the first day I've had a go at this weeks race and these are the splits from my first clean lap. Quite poor really, but it's a start at least:

0'31.241
1'04.786
1'31.658
1'53.592
2'21.212
2'50.779

sorry bout that

Will update the leaderboard and fix that ASAP.

 

[SimRaceDriver]

Heheheh, I think "grasshopper" quotes are lost on the younger generations. What a shame

yeah..that one and this one too I'm sure..

"Try and take the pebble from my hand young grasshopper!"...

 

[vtec_guy]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!

 

[Z]

And Z, just slow down a little ok? Otherwise your fellow D2ers are gonna have to get rough with ya. LOL.

Sorry 'bout that.

I'm done running this one for a while (I hope). It's getting much too frustrating to find the right line time and time again, so I probably won't post anything else regarding splits for a few days unless I need to play catch-up.

 

[vtec_guy]

I've had a break to configure my new '99 nsx I just bought to race my friend's gtr in and I dont have the motivation to get back into this yet. I think i'll give it a one day break until saturday evening before I get back to it. Hopefully I wont have dropped out of the top 10 by then otherwise i'm gonna have to fly round that track to get in the desired top 5.

 

[ROB 256R]

Another half hours work shaved ~ 5.5 seconds off my overall time. Much more respectable splits now:

0'30.058
1'02.516
1'28.455
1'50.070
2'17.374
2'45.851

Just out of interest what views are people using? I normally only use the 'bumper cam' view but i prefer the 'behind car' view on this combo. It gives a much better chance of finding a good line through the chicanes IMO. Too many blind corners with the in car view.

 

[boombexus]

Seems I'm addicted to this challenge.. shaved .4

T1: 29.624
T2: 1'01.168
T3: 1'27.140
T4: 1'48.530
T5: 2'15.621
T6: 2'43.198

Damn it. Back to the drawing board.

Nice splits Z. 👍

Bumper cam. Always. Can never seem to control the car properly with any other view.

Bumper cam here too 👍 The rear view is useless for me, and the roof cam is low enough on this car but it feels like I'm driving a concrete slab around, no feel for weight transfer 👎

 

[volcom_stone29]

new splits
29.691
1'02.472
1'28.670
1'50.777
2'18.599
2'46.943
-----------
The lap right after this i was running 1.5 seconds faster at T6, but when i got to the second last chicane the blister on my thumb popped and i dropped the controller. That's definately one of the worst ways to blow a hotlap.

 

[bleurabbit7]

It's gonna be a close one this week for Div3. 4 drivers separated by only .300 seconds.

It's gonna be down to the wire. Photo finish perhaps.

 

[vtec_guy]

t1: 30.455
T2: 1'03.454
T3: 1'30.165
T4: 1'52.008
T5: 2'19.606
T6: 2'48.327

 

[Lotrzyna]

Please, can someone help mi with this combo ? I have T1=29.850 but T4 1.52.700 - how does perfect line on those 2 chicanes on long straight look like ? Also is it possible to take first right turn after T1 flat-out ? on 4 or 5 gear ?
Thats what i would like to know but only for now cos after T4 i dont know what to do and probably will need some more help I had quite good lap time (silver myabe?) but last chicane killed it - i tried to go straight thru it ... :/

 

[kragbees]

sorry bout that

Will update the leaderboard and fix that ASAP.

Thanks very much Small ! 👍 Good job dude
