GTP WTAC Week 05 : Chinook !

[Detroitbb]

Even though I technically had my son's PSP since Monday, I didn't get much time to race. I found, after not competing for the past two weeks, that I was a bit 'rusty' and not quite as sharp as I should have been. It'll come back to me though! I'm just glad to be back at racing again!




Mercedes Benz CLK Touring Car: 1'32.874

------------------------------------------

Mitsubishi FTO Super Touring Car: 1'32.892

Well, my turn to submit !

Aero Max/Max
Ride Height -4/-4
Springs 8/8
Damper 7/7
Toe 0/-.05
Camber 0/0

(It looked like I was more comfortable with stiffer Spring/Damper, I tried the L-F tuning than L-F FTO, also under 1'31.5xx but this is with these settings I was the fastest )

Mitsubishi FTO Super Touring Car : 1'30.439





Aero Max/Max
Ride Height -+ 0/0
Springs 3/3
Damper 4/4
Toe 0/-.05
Camber 0/0

(Kept L-F tuning, just changed the rear toe, that's what I needed )

Lion-Face, you definitely own this combo ! Hope you're not that far from me !!!

Frisbee, Fuchur, other mysterious drivers, good luck !!!

I didn't go back and attempt my time with the FTO again, I spent my time making money to buy the Mercedes, which I have done in the past hour or so and have put about 20laps into it for this time. The Mercedes rode the curbs a lot better than the FTO, so you could run the suspension a bit harder and lower the ride height slightly. The Merc was faster down the straight and had a better turn in, but had a bit of understeer on corner exit, and being rear wheel, had some trouble getting the power down out of some of the slower corners.

My final setup for the Merc was.

Aero Max/Max
Ride Heigh -3/-3
Springs 4/4
Damper 5/5
Toe 0/-0.5
Camber 0/0

Although I only did a few laps with the Merc, I don't know whether it would have beaten the FTO. It was faster through the first and last sectors, but lost out heavily in the middle sector and I'm not sure if putting more time into the car would have produced a faster lap.

Really enjoyed this weeks challenge. Seattle has been a favorite of mine since GT2 and the Mitsubishi FTO Super Touring Car has always been a frequently run car in my garage throughout all the Gran Turismos. Here's hoping that its a 'Premium' Car for GT5!
