GT4 WRS Week 82: "Get out your Kei car car keys!"

[MP]

Knocked off .26X after another 20 laps. It was in the last sector so theres not much improvement with sector times. I still think i can get more time off my lap though, with my fastest lap so far my speed dropped to 93kmh on the last corner...but i have been able to keep my speed above 97kmh on that corner, so maybe another .1/.2 left in it for me.

It's funny, everytime I think im at my limit I keep finding areas where I can improve.

 

[daan]

OK. Who left the door open and let the "Hugo" alien in?

 

[MisterWeary]

I had my foot against the door but his alien strength just blew me away!!! They can't be stopped I tell's ya

 

[shockwaveracing]

Just stay in 4th 👍 Upshifting costs you a tenth...

will give it a try...

23.987
44.135

pulled another 0.3 off at the line but still saw another 0.2 sitting there, damn momentum is everything...

thanks for the suggestion Hugo! 👍

 

[daan]

I knew I should have put some Slim Whitman music on. Kills all known aliens....

 

[opendriver]

Looks like the Aliens are landing Nice splits coming out 👍

Board Updated

P.S Don't I stick out like a sore thumb on the leader board

When you get a chance, could you do a little update to say Im using a DFP instead of a DS2, just got it about 2 month ago and still getting the hang of things

 

[Hugo Boss]

I transformed into a blonde chick and Colby let me in without hesitating

Better improve the security, Daan

That's much more better. I was three hundredths off of your time, which just doesn't sound right for me... Yet, how come Hugo gets the credit? I've been telling you guys that since yesterday... Don't believe me, sheesh. D1ers...

*Gasp* Pictures? 💡 Hahahaha.

I can't wait to go back and turn my 23 second T1 into a 43.1 at T2 and somehow manage another smoking final sector...

 

[KLR142]

Hey! What are you implying? I drive a Mini...The proper one too, not that Bini rubbish...Plenty of circles and curves on my little beastie?

Darren.

I forgot to reply to this! Minis are NOTHING like a little roundy roundy car! Minis are the most awesome cars in the world! 👍 They only have round headlights, what's roundy roundy about that?

 

[CRXnut]

Ok, here we go - my first official WRS entry.

24.469
44.927

with some room for improvement

Edit: I forgot - Div 2, DFP

 

[Azuremen]

Hugo, I assume you are holding 4th gear for the hold track. Can you give me a figure what your slowest speed is on the left turn after T1... I am just having issues finding a good line and a good speed.

 

[Sjaak]

24.181
44.306

Those last two bends make the difference this week.
Nice combo.👍

 

[dylansan]

Well, although I've been waiting for this and love the combo, I haven't been racing it at all, until now that is...
Just had a few laps in the 45s, but then did a lap far better than the previous ones (sorta):
T1:24.025
T2:44.420

Expect more for sure!

 

[MisterWeary]

That was you??? Well you've got nice legs for a bloke then

I really am sticking out now, dunno if I'll get back to it either, the temptation to make the board look symmetrical may suck me in...we'll see 👍

Board Updated

 

[steven]

still on AT but nevertheless improved a bit - enough to show metar his place finally.

24.733 - 45.587

also .6 off the laptime.
metar, your turn baby!

 

[Hugo Boss]

Hugo, I assume you are holding 4th gear for the hold track. Can you give me a figure what your slowest speed is on the left turn after T1... I am just having issues finding a good line and a good speed.

No, I shift back to 3rd before the corner after T1. I can check my slowest speed tomorrow, but at the righthander before T1 I'm going 130 km/h at the clipping point. From there on I try to go to the right as much as possible and brake just before T1. Try to take the lefthander as fast as possible, but make sure you don't have to steer back to the left at the end of the turn, because of the easy righthander that follows. So turn in late for the lefthander, hit the apex and make sure you can drive straight out until the easy righthander. This way you carry more speed through the part until the corner after T2.
I hope it's clear 👍

 

[CRXnut]

I think Azuremen was hoping to get your speed through the tight lefthander (mine is 87 kmh)

 

[Azuremen]

Makes perfect sense. I was trying to avoid a downshift at the T1 turn, but seems its better to shift if the alien is doing it.

This should help alot as I was trying to hold too much speed into the corner and going wide exiting it. Just gotta get over to the right more for the entry, as I am about in the middle of the road when I start braking, and the car does like too much brake when switching turns.

 

[Jake]

I have a small chunk of time to run this. Is the Capp the best car? I know I should test out the lot but I just don't have the time this week. Can someone give advice?

 

[MisterWeary]

Yep the little Suzuki is the way to go it appears, make sure you take the EA21R '95... it's the beast this week 👍

 

[Jake]

Thanks for the help! 👍

I must say this is a fun combo. I am barely on the board though after 8 laps...

 

[MisterWeary]

You'll get there, just remember...it's fourth gear almost everywhere except the corner after T1

 

[KLR142]

Yep! Welcome to the party Jake! And it's not "almost everywhere", it IS 4th EVERYWHERE except for when you hit the brakes for the turn after T1. And make sure you shift out of 3rd around, or just after 7000rpm. 👍

 

[Jake]

ah, words of wisdom... the help is much appreciated. 👍

I'm a little lost. Is the JGTC series on?

 

[holl01]

.945/.014 cheers, used the common car

submitted. seen lower t2's of course but last section in particular the last corner is the critical, and on this lap it was done correctly, hit the line at 140+ km/h, which was a good sign of how well the last corner was taken. dfp was used.

 

[AngelCreator]

I'm a little lost. Is the JGTC series on?

Almost I think, check my sig to find a link to all of the series running on GTP right now.
And i'm going to send in my time because I tried the staying in 4th and it's fast
but I just can't beat my first run. Still not a bad car with N tires on it.

 

[MisterWeary]

Well I couldn't cope with myself sticking out like a sore thumb so here are my new splits, beat my old lap by .7 as well

T1: 0`24.018
T2: 0`44.243

And an okay finish 👍

 

[AngelCreator]

Now the board looks right.

 

[steven]

in my hunt for improvement i decided to give the MT a try.
guess what happens? even when in options i change the transmission, it just goes on shifting while racing ! WTF?
now all i can do is keep it in its current gear, but who needs a sore right middle finger for that LMAO?
if anyone knows what to do please leave a post. thanks!

 

[CRXnut]

Well, there are two places where to choose transmission type - general options (sets the default) and car settings (overrides the default)
