yeh i found it on google image search. YES! thanks to your advice kragbees, I slahed 1.9 secs exactly off of my time and i'm now in the silvers. I'm finally beating it and i know i cant beat it by even more coz im faster through the first 2 sectors than the computer is in the example test you can watch.

 

[kragbees]

No problem VTEC (b.t.w. I'm a huge Honda fan as well ... in MOTOGP, or basically ANY Honda ...), glad I could help you out ! Now I just need to help myself go a bit faster haha.

So I take it this course really exists ? Wicked ...

Me too hahaha, I have to make one out of freakin' cushions and crap ... like a kid. I want a racing seat and all that ... but my living room is way too small ... and girlfriend will freak if she has to watch t.v. in a bucket seat ...

 

[vtec_guy]

Here are my updated T times:
T1 31.048
T2 1'04.794
T3 1'31.917
T4 1'54.774
T5 2'23.566
T6 2'53.305

I dunno how hard it is to get into the top 20 but im going to try so hard to do so in my debiew race.

So these t's are slower but the final time was faster I take it ... So you made it up in the last section then 👍

lol yeh, mine consists of a duvet, a pillow and some strange kind of blanket/throw thing. I'm saving up for a DF wheel which i should have enough money to get after my exams in about 4 weeks. Still no bucket seat.

 

[ZeratulSG]

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

What's required to unlock it? I haven't looked yet (will tonight). I finished 7th in last week's WRS event in D2, so I'm obviously doing something right, yet I'm only 36% in GT4 and have only gone so far as the IB license (I don't bother doing licenses until I want to race in an event that requires it).

But if I haven't unlocked the S license then according to you I'm not qualified to participate this week? C'mon 👎

Do you drive with DS2 ? The only reason I had to do all this was for the DFP ... table to screw it onto is too low to sit on the normal sofa's (chairs) ...

huh? all those sector times are faster than all my previous Ts that I posted up here a few pages ago. I made about 1.5 seconds through the whole of the course and got another .4 from flying over that last shicane which i didnt previously know you could do. I have so much to improve on in the second half of the course since i usually go off before then. I dont think i can improve my first sector times that much but its still possible

Nothing is required to unlock it, you can do this test without having done any other S-licences ... maybe only the other license groups must be done I don't know. Crap, you can race it even if you've never played GT4 ... this car handles easier than stock viper, c'mon man.

On Luxy's board your splits are better, or am I being stupid ?

Check it out, http://www.luxy.ca/wrs/leaderboard/8

 

[kragbees]

YEAH ,see I just became a GTP Addict in my Avatar ... gonna celebrate tonight haha

 

[vtec_guy]

Yeh I'm using the DS2 temporarily. It's because usually when I play I sit on by bed and have my head turned to the right so I can see the tv and it gave me a really bad neck ache. So, I made a chair that's low down and facing straight towards the tv and it's cut seconds off my lap times.

Hey guys, if no-one has posted since your last reply, please edit your new info into your last post so that you're not double & triple posting. It helps keep the thread less cluttered, reduces the strain on the GTP server, and is also considered a bit nicer ettiquette also. 56k'ers might appreciate it a bit too. Thanks guys. 👍

It's not a big enough deal to erase your posts, just something to keep in mind when the board is dead. I know I do it myself every now and then cause I'm a bad bad modman. I do all the evil deeds...spam, off topic, posting in the wrong forum. I think I've let all of this massive power go to my head. Or maybe I've always done it because I'm such a rebel.

[vtec_guy]

Seriously you can wipe them CFM ... if need be. Wonder why Jordan does not archive to another server ... say all stuff older than 2002 ... haha I hear you, but you're still doing a great job with the whole WRS I must say.

Yeah I wasn't complaining that I wouldn't be able to handle the car, I was concerned that I don't have access to that license test yet, having only done up to I-B. In other words, I may have to spend tonight running through I-A just to unlock S. This is fine, I suppose, since I've been meaning to get I-A outta the way for a while now, but it means I'll lose a lot of track time for this event

 

[VacekS]

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 !

I second Kragbees advice on this one. If you haven't yet, watch the demo run. Once I took a look at it to see some of the shifting and breaking points being used, I knocked 2 seconds off on my next run.

Also, there are lots of areas on this track where you can cut medians and jump chicanes to pick up time, that do not disqualify the run. I'm assuming of course that anything we do in our runs that does not cause a "failure" in the license test is legal and okay for this weeks race.

My best and only T time I remember right now is for T2 at 1:03.4??

 

[vtec_guy]

lol my butt cheeks are now numb. Im sooo close to a gold now but I was afraid of crashing on a flier I just did so i went a little easy on that last chicane. I didnt think this would be a easy race to debiew on at first coz i'm very bad at controlling the lemans cars but i've made like a 4 second improvement on my previous record in the last 2 or so hours.
*running back to ps2 (still with numb butt cheeks)*

That's correct as long as you don't touch any walls.

Lord, I'm glad that I'm not the only one ... two cushions from the living room couch and one or two pillows off the bed, all propped up against the couch ... it's not pretty, that's for sure.
