GT4 WRS Week 99 : Caught doing 99 in a 40

[theman631]

I am using stock settings for tranny (and always have been) and I have a slower T1 but a faster T2 and lap than first post.

24.451
56.990

Man. I'm 5th in my div. Darn. Oh well.
I'm going to try it again before I send my time in, so wish me luck. And good luck to every one. and Laters.

Took "Finals" advice and finally broke 1' at T2. Unfortunately I proceded to take out three walls a flower pot and two cats before reaching the finish so tomorrow will have to do as I've had it for tonight. I do however see the very real possibilities! 👍

edit: not that it makes a difference but, I've been running 340 the whole way!

You killed two cats? You dog you.

It probably does...

I'm running 320, I'll have to try 330 now that I have my braking points down well and I can do multiple laps in a row that are consistent.

New times:

T1: 24.290
T2: 57.347

Apparently I have a superb T1 and a sucky T2, so if any of the faster guys would like to explain how they are manuevering through the multiple 90 degree turns inbetween T1 and T2 in detail, it would be most appreciated 👍

Edit

T1: 24.441
T2: 57.210

Well, looking at the splits posted so far, I'm doing pretty well (for me) through T1. But I'm losing a lot of time through T2 for some reason... Got to figure out why I guess... This is the first set of splits I have that are clean, and T2 is under one minute...

320 Gearing, RSS Tires:
T1: 24.457
T2: 59.365

 

[Teledriel]

Will see if I can dust off the ole dirt and turn a few laps before deadline this round, and still maintain something for D3. Then again might need a old timers division for me to be competitive.

T1: 24.338
T2: 56.993

That's it for tonight

A whole second?? wow, I'm really glad to have been of help. you might also want to seriously consider atleast trying 330 or 320. And if you do, make sure you give them a full 3 or 4 laps each. Many people make the mistake of trying a new setting and then giving up on it too quickly. I'm personally running 320 but others are having a lot of sucess with the 330. I guess it boils down to whatever butters your muffin

 

[rmk700]

Sure would be nice if I could adjust the suspension. Damn Arcade Mode.

I don't think I'm going to be getting a time in this week. i haven't run except for the first session and I didn't get a clean laptime. Since then I've been unsure as to whether i would even still be here. Today when I got home from the bar, I saw something on my MSN that stopped me from racing today. i'm still not sure but I'd rather not waste my time until i know my run will count. Driving around pointlessly isn't my idea of time well spent.

Damn, I hate deliberations. And why the hell am I still using capital letters?? The jig is up already

YAY!!! Welcome back!

Very nice Kenny, thanks for getting ahead of me... We'll see what I manage tomorrow sometime. Or at least before I submit, anyway.

I think you should still race anyway. Even if your time is going to be disqualified... Because it still shows that you put in the effort, and you still submitted. If people want to believe you did the lap, good, if people think you didn't, oh well. Hopefully sometday you'll snag a maxdrive, but until then, most of your stuff will probably be disqualified because you're probably going to be that much faster than the people in the division that you qualified into.

I thought the opposite was the recommended route to take?

I lost a bit of time from T2 to the end, so you may still be ahead of me. But I should be able to knock a few tenths off in my next session

I have more respect for somebody who races anyway, knowing their time will be disqualified; than for someone who chooses not to race because they can't prove it.

Personally, if the lap is dirty, I prefer someone who mentions his lap in the thread, plus replay, rather than submits it.

 

[FinaL ExaM]

hey fellas, i never wanted anything that was dumb and shouldn't have been posted anyway ending up being a conversation piece

i had not been running because i was unsure if i was going to be banned from the site again, not because my run isn't clean. i know now that i won't be banned again as long as i keep my nose clean (which i have every intention of doing), but i still don't know if jerry will allow my run because of some personal differences he has with me. fyi, i've come to the conclusion it doesn't matter if it's counted or not, i'll be getting a time together tonight and tomorrow.

i've also come to the conclusion that my chances of having my run counted are pretty good because i don't think jerry would disallow my run simply because he doesn't like me. he's just a bit pissed off at the moment and he's a bigger man than that.

 

[KLR142]

I never said to submit a dirty lap...? If that's what you're thinking.

 

[KLR142]

...

You might want to edit that last part out, as Jerry can do whatever he damn well pleases, and that is pushing your luck a bit. That being said, everyone's times should be submitted into the results if it has been sent on time, and if no replay is posted when it's been requested, then the time will be disqualified and made unnofficial and not count towards the leaderboard.

I'm glad to hear you're going to continue working at it and submit anyway. So when're you going to get a maxdrive?

 

[Teledriel]

Oh yea .. need to find that thing huh {Now where did I put that drive at, goes digging in boxes}

 

[kennythebomb]

Who said anything about dirty laps? This is about a racer not having a maxdrive and still racing dude.

sorry bro, you must have missed the fact that i've already verified each of my runs as clean via sharkport.

Awesome. So what's the problem then? You'll continue to use it when required, no? Have you been promoted then?

 

[Metar]

I think we all messed up something. I think Kyle referred to Teledriel, while I referred to FE/ME...

as far as the last part of that post goes, it was actually a compliment if you take a moment to think it through. there's no need to stir the pot more than it already is.

Awesome. So what's the problem then? You'll continue to use it when required, no? Have you been promoted then?

there's no problem whatsoever man, that's my point.

lol, I dunno, you quoted me talking to FE...? Oh well!

 

[Metar]

Biggest mess-up I've had. I thought you were referring to FE, who mentioned not having a clean run... Then Kenny and I got involved in a discussion about clean submissions, and FE got back in, too. Fun

 

[FinaL ExaM]

alright, alright. hugs and kisses all around.

got a decent clean run but the last sector was fairly apalling. timing the downshift to 3rd powerslide just right so the car can enter columbus circle is a real bear but there's no faster way to do it than right on the edge of control.

[Teledriel]

Well, most here that knew me, know I do all ready had a Max Drive before I had to take a hiatus.

Gonna be quite different not having 100+ in Div 3 though

good luck to you man, just watch out for the brakes this week. this car is apparently only equipped with 4 inch drum brakes in the rear
