Time submitted. I can't spend as much time on this week as I did last week. I'm fairly happy with my lap, there are only a couple of places I could really pick up time, perhaps a third to half a second. I doubt if I'll be able to score another top 5 finish in my second week, but time will tell, as they say.

Good luck to everyone this week

LORD HAVE MERCY! I wish I could submit after 1 day ... the damned WRS has become a daily drug to me!

Well assuming from yopur posts of location, Thinking you are in the area with Koly.... you have until 6AM Pacific, Tuedsay, 31 May, 2005

 

[darkwind]

I really need to get used to the Speed 8 again. It doesn't turn on a dime like some race cars should *glares at the Team Oreca Viper*

T-Times will be awhile with me. I need more practice. I can't even finish the test now! :👎:

Correct! Portlandians need to have their times submitted by 6 in the morning on Tuesdays!

Now in 3-4 hours I can upload my week 7 replay to see what you guys think of it...

 

[Alpine3]

Short little intro session for me, still completely lost for the final 2 chicanes and dont know how hard i can push the car through the final high speed section.
So far:

T1: 0'29.784
T2: 1'02.784
T3: 1'27.925
T4: 1'49.423
T5: 2'16.519
T6: 2'44.189

 

[Jump_Ace]

Now I'm done for the day with this to show for it:

T1 - :30.018
T2 - 1:02.569
T3 - 1:28.971
T4 - 1:50.806
T5 - 2:18.166
T6 - 2:45.900

My first section was just a notch slower, but practice makes......I'm happy with the rest of the lap for now.

P.S. If you live anywhere near the Portland/Salem/Eugene/BFE area, we are arranging a little get together, we are still working out the details but pm myself, kolyana or Tuff240 or Lemke or KLR412....the list is getting longer!!!

 

[kennythebomb]

Well unfortunately you need 25% to compete in the endurance hall, and I only have 22.2% ... so using this as a training tool is out of the question.

It also dawned on me that if you hadn't competed in any ... or many ... of the license tests, then it would be theoretically impossible to test in the super international, right? You do, after all, have to do them in order.

I sure wouldn't like to be the poor guy who can't race, because he can't access the S-license tests. That would suck.

Ya gotta figure if you haven't unlocked the S license by now, you probably won't fare that well (negating game saves here)

 

[Kolyana]

Awwwwwww poo ... this is another Nurburgring ... very fast, lots of bumps, lots of corners, very long and one mistake ... RETRY .. RETRY ... RETRY.

I can see that this is going to be TOO damn addicitive.

Improved my times across the board ... but then I've never driven this track before, so that's not too hard! About 6 seconds off where I want to be, but like Jump said earlier, Practice makes perfect ...

H0t ... I do believe that I will get that little challenge you issued me

 

[veilsidebr]

I got some improvements again, down 0.627 from my past lap. Altough the T times doesn´t show that, i made last chicane ok and took off those 0.6 hidden. LOL

BTW, after seting this lap, i was doing another lap with a 28.8x and 59.9x...1"25.7x and so on...until i see -1.1x in the T6..got nervous and mistaked. =/////

BTW i will do that tomorrow, its enough for today.

T1 - 29.234 >> that´s one im doing mostly in 28´s now
T2 - 1"00.774 >> will be improved as far as i knock 28´s on T1
T3 - 1"26.396
T4 - 1"47.954
T5 - 2"15.124
T6 - 2"42.998

I´ve been feeling more easy to set a good lap instead of past WRS. I think this track is just relaxing to drive.

Ps: I always forgot to tell, thats why it doesn´t appear in leaderboard, i use DS2 all the way.

 

[Jump_Ace]

wow way to go veilsidebr! great section times man! And this is one great Contender tonight on NBC...sweet!

[bleurabbit7]

Love the hand massages. Not to happy with my times. However, took an incredible 8 seconds off my 'original' time set back a year ago. LOL

T1 0:30.754
T2 1:04.649
T3 1:31.631
T4 1:53.928
T5 2:21.727
T6 2:50.845


There's lots of areas I know I can improve in. Tomorrow is another day.

Thx dude. But i know that its not enough, for 2 reasons. I can down a lot yet, like 1 second and also that Hotboi and Holl01 will catch me surely. We´re in the very first day of this WRS tho, so i hope to get some improvements tomorrow.

Hope also you all do your best laps. Good luck guys. 👍

Stuffed up a few places on this lap so I know there is still plenty left to lop off this one, amazing as it seems .
Really liking the Bentley too 👍 .

Steve

 

[kragbees]

Tried it out last night and also got a gold ! It was not AS bad with the DFP as I would have thought with this car, just see smoke piling out the one tire down the straights haha. The other license test in IA I think was worse ... Still a few places to make some more time, especially that last chicane ! 👍

T1 : 30,476
T2 : 1:03,293
T3 : 1:29,626
T4 : 1:51,676
T5 : 2:19,082

Nice to see you back stroker!!

Good luck..... Now then....

Oh no. I am so screwed. I gave one lap and probably won't be doing this week. Way to go Crazy Frightened Man

Please please please do not attempt to re-create my humour, when you have repeatedly spent time trying mine, and i think i speak for a few other regulars here's patience with your, "i can do incredibly faster than any other human, lap times, but im not going to submit them, just tell you that im honest and really fastest in the world, and i cant be arsed to buy a maxdrive" claims.

And......

Please please please never change your avatar, so i can clearly see which posts i should just scroll right past. 👍

If you are the fastest gt guy in the world one week, and slow as something brown and slimy the next, then buy a maxdrive, forget fixing your bicycle, 💡 and prove you are, so i can stop getting unbelievably wound up by the
posts you leave on my favourite site.

I know i have an option on my settings to ignore all posts by one member, i just thought i'd never have to use it.

 

[bogitiman]

This week's combo is an interesting one, a licence test with a fast LMP. to be honest I wasn't to keen on the idea of a licence test combo, but I have come around to enjoy it. After about 4 complete laps I have come up with these splits.
T1 30.445
T2 1'03.679
T3 1'30.018
T4 1'51.925
T5 2'19.730
T6 2'48.094

Congrats to anyone that has golded this test, and I hope more do this week.

Yep, it's pretty cool that we get a shot at hitting gold in the test. Hopefully everyone'll get into the gold range this week. I've only got two golds in the s license (I'm not one to go for golds really), one for the s1 (only because of the practice last week at Motegi) and this one

Once I got comfortable with the car and kept it relatively smooth I was surprised how quickly the time fell off. Everyone who's on the verge of getting gold keep on trying. Just keep it smooth and stay calm 👍

I totally agree with you balls ... if you think you're so bloody fast, prove it ... or otherwise keep quite.

I hope to be getting somewhere better on this one though ... think I can make up a few secs. here and there ... that last few corners are where I'm losing most of my time ... but tonight I'm gonna cut corners like crazy ...

What is this "footie" i hear people speak of?
Does it involve an engine?
Or wheels?
Now pool, there's a game i can cope with, but Footie?

Hmmmmm

 

[TimBrad]

Ugh, another non footying brit here

And standard c'mon dude, give us one of 2 things

1: Evidence
2: A break from this and you saying to me on AIM "Man, i suck, i never get good times" what gives kid?

 

[Tyre King]

Don't actually like fooball, but, if i'm stuck playing league pool and the rest of the team are REALLY into it, AND it's on a dirty great big screen-

what else can i do? LOL

Would rather be racing, but pool's a good alternative.

[vtec_guy]

I'm getting soooo annoyed now. I managed to cut 2 seconds off of my time but everytime I get to the little right kink before the left (this is all after that tight right at the end of mulsanne) I lose it. It's really annoying because I could probably get my new time up to 2.5 secs quicker but I keep messing up there.

EDIT:Here's the corner I mean, indianapolis:

Brake (just dab) before the right kink, gear down to 5th, and floor it through there ... then slam brakes for 2nd gear left hander ... just before some T split ... not usre which one ... Hope that helps !
