GT4 WRS Week 8: "Licensed To Ill"

[Puck927]

T1: 29.380
T2: 1:01.256
T3: 1:27.126
T4: 1:49.432 (Here's where I fall apart...took Indianapolis completely wrong).
T5: 2:17.258 (Screwed up here too)
T6: 2:45.281 (Didn't hit the final chicane hard enough or fast enough)

Overall I'm pleased with these times, but I know there's at least another second out there to be had. In the end I hope I can compete.

Comin for ya 'Drooos
First try:

T1: 0:29.349
T2: 1:01.070
T3: 1:26.861
T4: 1:48.414
T5: 2:15.592
T6: 2:43.783

Work on that buddy

 

[Kolyana]

T1: 29.321
T2: 1'02.077
T3: 1'28.149
T4: 1'49.887
T5: 2'17.253
T6: 2'45.105


Ironically this is where I wanted to be, and yet it's still a second short of where it needs to be ... dayum you Rot!

If I can find the exit speed at the beginning of the straight and cut a second off my splits along there, I think I have a shot.

Lord, talk about putting the pressure on!

EDIT: Just ran a T3 of 1.27.5xx and a T4 of 1'49.5xx, so I know I can pull this together. Heckythump, I never knew I could push this hard ... what an incredible combo.

EDIT#2: New splits ... faster all around and .5 at the line.

 

[bleurabbit7]

Man, you guys are gonna give me a workout just trying to catch up. Amazing splits rotbarsch.

 

[Puck927]

Another hour and half worth of work....still making mistakes

T1 - 0:29.156
T2 - 1:00.769 can be alot lower
T3 - 1:26.586
T4 - 1:48.157 have hit 1:47's
T5 - 2:15.200 slow through arnage
T6 - 2:43.689 swung wide at Porsche curve lost alot

Could really get these lower if I can get consistent through the esses...

 

[Kolyana]

This is me done for the evening ... waaaaay better than I set out for

Still feel that there's a fairly easy .5 to be had here, so I'm shooting for more over the weekend.


T1: 29.532
T2: 1'01.673
T3: 1'27.950
T4: 1'49.599
T5: 2'16.719
T6: 2'44.482

 

[vtec_guy]

Watch out! New guy gaining on you

30.171
1:02.789
1:29.053
1:50.991
2:18.846
2:47:203

Could have done better from T4 on, but I got cautious beginning at the Porsche curve. I love these long tracks! 👍

Nooooooooooo! i'm in 10th now. I gotta go beat my time.

T6: 4'44.482

Lol, yet again showing that 100ths make a difference.

 

[KLR142]

This is not cool. You guys are going way too fast :-P We'll see what I can manage tomorrow. I won't be headed to the beach I guess cause no one else is able to or is already busy or somethin. Oh, and I haven't even gotten gold yet, I've only completed the lap three times. Third time it was a WAY crappy lap, but I did the end better so I got within about a half a second of gold, but not quite and whatever. We'll see where I can go with this week, time is definitely more of an issue than it was the past couple of weeks. Nat, what kind of real car do you drive?

And I had a bigger post typed up, but I hit quit instead of close window... w00ps! And stuffs. Damn I've got a steep learning curve to go up...

And whatever else I said... Lol.

*gasp*

You can't just beat my sectors like that!

It's SO on now! Guess I won't take the dog out for a walk today... must find another second... hngggg... WRS! *twitch*

 

[KLR142]

KICK ASS!!! I guess I'm not nearly as far back as I was assuming... Gave it a good power hour(2-3am... lol) and came out with this. I'm glad I kept this lap together, because it was my fastest yet in every sector. I just stopped after this lap though, I'm kinda wired though from the intensity. This track does hurt my hands though...

BAM!
T1 29.418
T2 1'01.853
T3 1'27.637
T4 1'49.487
T5 2'16.662
T6 2'45.801

And I'm still very much lost on everything after that one 2nd gear 90 after the kink then left part... SWEET!

 

[Tyre King]

Just gonna have a quick run this afternoon, but how cool is this?

Watchin 'Le Mans' the movie (Steve McQueen ) whilst getting track into my head again! LOL

BTW You guys and gals are flying!

Know where i'm loosing time (T4-T5), so gonna concentrate on getting that bit right this after, and put in some faster laps tonite.

Neil

 

[CFM]

Gotta Love the WRS ...14 SECONDS off my previous best here (recorded the first day the Game was out & NO I'm NOT a "Gold Junky"...Bronze is just fine) on the very first Lap...then another HOUR & numerous "Excursions" into the sand to find another 7 SECONDS! THANX to CFM 👍 I now have 3 Golds! ...O.G.

Glad you have a nice golden trophy to add to the previous duo. You gonna come back for a bit of rally next week you old dirt-devil?

Wow! Someone must be really slowing down.....as my T5 & T6 are 2'18:705 & 2'47.658 respectively....it's either that or that T6 section time is one serious typo...

 

[Old Geezer]

Glad you have a nice golden trophy to add to the previous duo. You gonna come back for a bit of rally next week you old dirt-devil?

You Bet! Just like the License tests though...don't think I've driven in the dirt since the first few days after the "Game" was released! ...O.G.

 

[EXelero]

lol, the bentley speed 8 with realistic jelly suspension! so bouncy you can feel your driver soiling himself and his stomach bounces around like a bladder on a stick! lol

great quote honey!

 

[Sjenk]

Ah, finally part of this weekly race series!

After hundreds of attempts I finally got a 'fast' time (still nothing compared to what hOt6o4bOi and holl01 are driving, but it's not bad in my opinion):

T1: 0'29.281
T2: 1'01.005
T3: 1'26.836
T4: 1'48.432
T5: 2'15.552
T6: 2'43.554

 

[EXelero]

JEEEEESSSS!!!!!

I really loath this car. Such a supreme bendy but fast track. Why did you have to make us do it in a car with a bounce even Salmo Hayek is jealous of?

Think i'm gonna sit this one out and just look on in ore at the true racers on this site.......
unless someone has some serious 'get out of jail free' information??!!

[bleurabbit7]

@Nat....You really are going for first aren't you? Very impressive times.

Today is a black day for me as I am feeling under the weather. Hopefully I can kick it tonight and have some runs tomorrow.

 

[CardcaptorYoshi]

golds++;

I have a grand total of 4 golds now, 1 more than yesterday T5's down to sub-2'20, and can't remember T6 for the life of me but I'll have that info in later, when I knock a couple more seconds off my time and a couple more wheels off my car in the process (insert 'Oh Yeah' music here)

-Cardcaptor Yoshi (DF/D3)
P.S. The DF stands for Driving Force and Division Four now, I say

 

[vtec_guy]

Ok people i'm going to get back into the top 10 no matter what. My friend r34jse who is also taking part is staying at my house on sunday night and we're gonna have a phat 3 - 4 hour session on this so be sure to see me in the top 10 by monday lunchtime.
I'm gonna get my revenge on you amp88, Large_Fryz and SimRaceDriver for knocking me out of the top 10.
GARRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! lol
(please dont hurt me)

 

[eggmann]

29.263 / 1:00.864 / 1:26.353 / 1:48.125 / 2:15.144 / 2:43.060

GARRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! lol
(please dont hurt me)

Haha, Large_Fryz is div. 2, but I am one of the guys who bumped you back a bit... Sorry! But I gotta keep up with Nat, if she toasts me, then, I dunno. But I don't want it to happen. Lol. I got to keep it respectable though, and I think I can keep up, I've only spent maybe two hours on this so far, with two+more coming today...

Hey Nat, did you notice that I was ahead of you in every split except for T2 and T6? I don't know what I'm doing from T5-end yet, that's where most of my improvement will come today... If I PM you my final time will you PM me yours?

It seems that everyone has gotten these times sooo easy. You beat me after 2 hours when i've been working about 6 or maybe even 7 to get that time. I've probably done around 100 laps by now easily. I have to get back into the top 10 tomorrow. My friend almost beat my first gold time on his first go!!! it just isnt fair lol.
Sorry i meant BenW not Large_Fryz lol.

And whatever else I said... Lol.

I have a black convertible mustang GT ... it's beautfiul (with rollbar and a lot of extras), but funny enough I'm selling it TODAY ... in 3 hrs time ... and doing without for a while (saving money).

I want to by a riced out pink eclipse or Evo VIII as a replacement.

 

[Kolyana]

Wow! Someone must be really slowing down.....as my T5 & T6 are 2'18:705 & 2'47.658 respectively....it's either that or that T6 section time is one serious typo...

Holy poo ... I keep on doing that ... just need to make sure that I don't do it when I submit to CFM!!!

KICK ASS!!! I guess I'm not nearly as far back as I was assuming... Gave it a good power hour(2-3am... lol) and came out with this. I'm glad I kept this lap together, because it was my fastest yet in every sector. I just stopped after this lap though, I'm kinda wired though from the intensity.

T6 2'45.801

And I'm still very much lost on everything after that one 2nd gear 90 after the kink then left part... SWEET!

Good run!!! You're certainly far from out of this one. It's going to be a real fight to the finish!

*gasp*

You can't just beat my sectors like that!

It's SO on now! Guess I won't take the dog out for a walk today... must find another second... hngggg... WRS! *twitch*

You can only blame yourself! I would have stopped a second ago, but you have pushed me to speeds that I never thought possible. I'm now trying to put in a time that would have me very well placed in D2

And guys ... it has been a THRILL this week racing against you ... this is what the WRS is all about. Win, come second ... whatever ... pushing myself like this against you guys is thrilling and I'm loving every second of it.

Thank you!

 

[Luxy]

Finally had a go at this one ... not really my kind of thing, but I still needed to gold that licence anyway

29.304
1'01.112
1'26.788
1'48.383
2'15.759
2'43.866

Had a big slide coming out of the final chicane, so the final time is probably a second or so off what those splits would indicate. I only saw the final chicane half a dozen times in the hour and a half that I played.

Dunno about everyone else, but I find this track kind of boring because it takes too much driving in a straight line to get to the interesting bits

 

[Kolyana]

Ok people i'm going to get back into the top 10 no matter what. My friend r34jse who is also taking part is staying at my house on sunday night and we're gonna have a phat 3 - 4 hour session on this so be sure to see me in the top 10 by monday lunchtime.

GARRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! lol
(please dont hurt me)

Large_Fryz isn't even in our division ... does that put you back in the top ten?

 

[Kolyana]

I hadn't looked to be honest

My splits, though, I've been faster on, which is one reason why I feel that there's .5 to be had at T6 and maybe 1.0 at the line. I hit T5 right on, which gave me a great T6 ... from experience I know that every damned corner can lose you everything you've gained, every straight can rob you of seconds, so I've been practicing hitting these as right as I can.

I've been .8-.9 faster at T5 though and quicker through the final section.

I'm scared of swapping final sector times with another D3er It's like I could be telling you what you have to beat! uhuh ...wer're both going to have to have a sleepless Monday night!!!

Poor splits, shaved .6

 

[Androoos]

I want to by a riced out pink eclipse or Evo VIII as a replacement.

If you buy an Evo VIII you'll lose all respect for Mustangs...but I highly recommend the Evo. When I die, I will be buried with the keys to mine. I love it that much. Good pick.
