GT4 WRS Week 93: Let's Start With The A's

[KLR142]

I like it. Just have to find the way to overcome understeer. Will post splits once I get to low 44s

Brake earlier, and go through some of the turns with either no or very light throttle at higher speeds than you think you should be... 👍

Neils, try last week for grip... A "bit" too much.

23.687 / 43.164 ... DS2 / NTSC

Will run some more on this tonight

Great T1 Ron 👍 need to try it again to find how to do it...couldn't saw it last night.

Cheers

New splits:
T1: 24.260
T2: 43.943

Kinda botched the last turn but still shaved .3 off the finish.

Ran some laps on this last night, sweet combo Jerry 👍 and congrats

I'll be running this one a while

 

[Metar]

Hmm... Nice combo. I remember a different Amuse from Week 71 - that one was a crisp, on-the-edge handler. This one just feels sluggish. Perhaps it's the slow gears, or that understeer under braking - but with similar power and weight (Week 71 had 10 more HP and 18 less KG), this one just feels weird. Track is more of a bitch, though - those first two corners, and that double-left in the middle kill me every time. But a struggle is a struggle, and I like struggle-combos. Especially when they sound this good...

Moving around the 45.0s, trying to reach a friggin' 44... I can see it coming - but I just can't string those first two corners together.

 

[Sjaak]

Good luck to our new host.👍
Getting the keys of the wrs is a proud job,mate.
Try to enjoy it.

24.667

A dance of tenths I heard,only for me of sec. at the moment.

Shave,shave and again shave.
After this week the track will be unbelievable smooth and shiny.
I bet +3000 laps combined for us all.

 

[Metar]

Broke into the 44s.

I bet the results between Div1 Tops and Div2 Bottoms will be less than 2 seconds. Actually, I shot myself in the leg this very moment - I'll be one of the "Div2 Bottoms" - so I'll be the one who'll have to train hard this week.

Any driving tips? I got that "Brake smooth and early" thing by myself, seeing as it was the only way I could string the first two corners together. What about the rest? I take the first corner in 4th @ 175Km/h, accellerate, brake down to 3rd @ 120Km/h for the next one. Accellerate, keeping to the right, brake to 3rd @ 125 (I can clearly see myself passing it at 140) for the left-hander. Hairpin, I brake pretty much in the middle - I don't enter it early and stick to the inside, nor try to drag it around a fictional, 'delayed' hairpin. The next three left-handers can all be taken flat-out, but where exactly do I need to turn for the first one? Last hairpin is obvious. Speed at the S/F: 207KM/h.

44.943

EDIT: I already saw another 0.3 out of a better-run turn before T1, but butchered it on the hairpin afterwards.

 

[Super T]

Good looking combo, I enjoyed thrashing the S2000 R1 around last time we had it out, I'll get onto this as soon as I've finished tonights TV programmes. 👍

Good luck with the, IMO, unenviable task of WRS admin Jerry. Plenty of interesting combo's up your sleeve I hope.

Back with some times later...

Darren.

 

[Kelly]

This is a sweet combo Jerry, love the car! 👍

Splits so far...

24.112
43.715


DS2/NTSC/DIV2

Hopefully I'll be back with a better T1 at least

 

[Jump_Ace]

I was going to say though, it sure feels GREAT to get so close to my limit after only a half an hour. Especially after last week...

That just means you will see a new "limit" in a couple hours 👍

[Sean_BBB]

I got to ask, you guys using 2nd or 3rd gear on the final hairpin?
I'm going back and forth, can't figure out which one is faster. I'm thinking 3rd, if it's done perfectly.

24.181
44.191

Nice sector times theman631 ;-)

 

[Kelly]

Back with some faster splits, and I don't think I can squeeze much more out of it. Might have to try a different colour.

23.932
43.508

vroom vroom!!!

 

[Metar]

Might have to try a different colour.

Tried Nurburgring Blue yet?

Oh dear, those splits are fast. Are you still sure you're Div2?

 

[Kelly]

I've only tried the pink one so far
And yes I'm sure I'm in Div2, it's just my kind of combo I guess, thanks 👍

I am using 2nd in the hair pin because I can't hit it perfect

New splits.

Apparently there is more time out there!?!

I will keep looking

LeaderBoard

 

[Kelly]

I'm using 3rd for the last bend.

Ren-Tec the leaderboard doesn't work

 

[Metar]

Ren-Tec the leaderboard doesn't work

That's 'cause he posted the wrong link. Correct, it should be Leaderboard Updated. Which is technically correct - I just updated as well, so I might've overwritten his update

 

[Sphinx]

Ren-Tec the leaderboard doesn't work

It works now

 

[Metar]

It works now

Now that's quick moderating 👍

So how was your first day?

still got 55 mins to go, but so far it's been OK

 

[holl01]

nice combo! GVER is one of the best tracks in the game, looking forward to trying this once i can get my dfp repaired..again (stupid pedal design...grrr)

 

[Ren-Tec]

New splits for me

T1: 23.902
T2: 43.525

Wow there is 16 drivers already on the learderboard and its day one. With any luck this will be a great turn out this week .

 

[KLR142]

Div.3 my azz.

Any driving tips?

Use ALL of the track.

That just means you will see a new "limit" in a couple hours 👍

Jerome

Word. Where're your splits?

Might have to try a different colour.

Hey Kelly, I've always heard that Pink was the slowest color, so, you might not want to try any of the other cars this week, you're fast enough... 👍

With any luck this will be a great turn out this week .

I don't think we'll need any luck, I'm sure of it.

My problem was with the steering wheel, but I did find a way to get another one so I may race this week.

I knew i heard that DFP crying out in pain every week. 👍

 

[Luxy]

Just had a look at the leaderboard ... looks like I'm a bit rusty! But, it's a great combo and there are lots of familiar faces

And what do you mean by that.

Edit:
It was the upshift paddle the failed, not the wheel it self.

Sorry to say I just say this but only because it's amazing.
Excellent selection.
I can already tell you guys are going to top all of the mods who preceeded you.

Back when I've got times.
Till then I'll be looking forward to racing this...
