[Awaren]

Bottom ?! O.o

bottom is mine and vaughan p

Zipi don't overestimate me :-D it's certain that i don't break the 1:23 this week. If i will be very optimistic i will have low 24's this time even with Easy's "spoiler alert" tune

lol I didn't (or haven't - I forgot english basics -,- ) break even 1:25 on both cars... -,-
and like always, in opposite to others, my better time is on the safety car... O.o

Did you try it ? What do you think about it ? (you did select the yellow area with your mouse right ? -just in case someone didn't see it- )

I haven't run the PC since last time, I got caught in a KILLZONE 3 clan tournament, busy day today -grandmother's birthday- I'll try to run tonight and might run tomorrow -day-off in France-. I'll try to post in time lol !

Antares26, MVR08, Detroitbb, red ice, where are you at guys ?

 

[NoirAntares]

I've got the PC at 1'22.275, quite sad that I missed the 1'21.9xx just because I hit the limiter. Might actually get better tomorrow.

nope i'm using gtplanet android application if i'm in work and there was no yellow color but even if i was home i think i'm clever enough to figure it out

yes, i tried it and it definitely was better than my previous setup 👍
thanks to you i was able to break into 24's

[easyasashii]

yes, i tried it and it definitely was better than my previous setup 👍
thanks to you i was able to break into 24's

That's cool ! Glad to hear that !

I'll submit my times tomorrow, still haven't got a better lap with the PC and I'm a little tired of this first corner that I miss 8/10 times ! I'll try again tonight.

 

[NoirAntares]

I don't know how these setting would logically work, but if anyone's interested.
((This setting was made and remade with the N1))

Height: -15/-15 (The track doesn't have too many bumps but there are elevation changes so I didn't set it all the way to -20, which I usually do on smooth roads))

Springs: 4/4 (The car had natural 4WD understeer at stock settings, so I set the springs a bit higher to lessen understeer frequency)

Damper: 6/6 (DTM cars had the same spring-damper balance, and since those cars were also 4WD, I figured the same balance would work here. Though the DTMs have 6-8 Spring damper balance, I thought 4-6 would be enough since there's no downforce settings on these two GT-Rs)

Toe: -0.35/-0.25 (Now I like my cars loose, I don't feel comfortable when the handling's too stiff, so for a bit of cornering improvement, I set negatives on both front and rear toe)

Camber: 1.5/1.5 (Camber's the very last thing I set on my settings. Why? Because I feel the overall grip of the car increases with camber, and with adequate grip on 4WD, I didn't go for 2 or 3 I usually do with 2WD)

The setting's the same for PC, save for Camber and Toe, which had 2.0/1.6 and -0.30/-0.30, respectively. I don't know if it's gonna be good for everyone, and I'm not the best driver to say these settings are perfect.

 

[zipiol]

Nissan GRAN TURISMO SKYLINE GT-R (PaceCar): 1'26.386

Nissan SKYLINE GT-R Vspec II N1 (R34): 1'26.556

or : 1'27.253

I wasn't sure if my 1'26.xxx time with N1 is clean (because of one corner)
so I'm uploading my previous best time too. Just in case

 

[easyasashii]

I cracked the 1'21 barrier !!! Yay !

I'll post these times before trying to push it a little more with the PC car and try Antares' N1 setup !

I softened rear spring to 4 for N1

Type voiture : Nissan SKYLINE GT-R V・spec II N1 (R34) '00
Temps : 1'21.971



Type voiture : Nissan GRAN TURISMO SKYLINE GT-R (PaceCar) '01
Temps : 1'21.813





Total : 2'43.784

 

[zipiol]

but ur time is over 1'21 so u cracked 1'22...

 

[NoirAntares]

Done both cars at 1'21.8xx, going to do some last minute pushes before I post my times. I may cut it close to the deadline time.

 

[NoirAntares]

I gotta say, I've never been so satisfied with my lap times. These two cars were great, and the track demanded a bigger challenge. I've done everything I could with these two, fate can handle the rest.

Nissan SKYLINE GT-R Vspec II N1 (R34) ~ 1'21.238

Nissan GRAN TURISMO SKYLINE GT-R (PaceCar) '01 ~ 1'21.651

Overall Combined Time: 2'42.889
👍

 

[Awaren]

If anyone knows Jeff Dunham i will quote one of his puppets - Peanut: "Hoooly crap you're quick".
My times this week are:
Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec II N1 (R34) '00
1:23,383

Nissan GRAN TURISMO Skyline GT-R Pace Car '01
1:23,377

So my combined times are: 2:46,760

 

[easyasashii]

Great job guys 👍👍👍

Antares26

See you guys next week

 

[MVR08]

I didn't run the cars again after my first few laps with the N1. I have been in on iRacing lately so most of my free time is going there but I gave the cars a quick run this morning just to participate so, here it is..


Nissan GRAN TURISMO Skyline GT-R Pace Car '01: 1.21.502

Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec II N1 (R34) '00: 1'21.975

Total: 2'43.477

👍

 

[vaughan]

Vehicle: Nissan GRAN TURISMO SKYLINE GT-R (PaceCar) '01
Time: 1'27.105

Vehicle: Nissan SKYLINE GT-R V spec II N1 (R34) '00
Time: 1'26.651

Combined time: 2'53.756

However, I think I should have done better if had more time...

 

[MVR08]

Some pics I found of a N1 I made with the premium Skyline R34 Nur '02.

 

[easyasashii]

Nice pics 👍

 

[red ice]

ANTARES ROCKS!!
Go TEAM Philippines!
red ice is Mighty Proud of You...

[Detroitbb]

Nice turnout for Week 98! Special thanks goes out to vaughan for choosing the cars for all of us (thank you!)!

Congratulations to Antares26 for his second win in a row! What makes it even more special is that it came against MVR08 and easyasashii. Great job, Antares!

MVR08, while limited by time, still managed a very fast time at Deep Forest. He was closely followed by former host and WTAC founder, easyasashii. All three podium finishers were within a second of one another. That's a healthy competition!

Awaren was the top non-podium finisher this week and his good showing moves him into a tie for 5th place overall (tied with vaughan). Rounding out the placements was red ice, zipiol, and vaughan.

I should mention that zipiol, consistently gathering points each week, has moved into 3rd place in the overall standings. Good work, zipiol - keep it up!

vaughan is currently tied for 5th place overall, but instead of being tied with zipiol as he was last week, he is now tied with Awaren.

[NoirAntares]

OH MY GOD! Is this real life? I...never expected this result! I was really expecting MVR to break into the 20 seconds range! I couldn't be happier now that I actually won with MVR around.

 

[easyasashii]

That was a very challenging and fun week ! Thanks Dbb and vaughan 👍 !

To tell the truth I stopped when I had a clean 1'21.xxx (cracked the barrier lol ) with both car but, if I could have been a little bit faster there is no way I would have been faster than you guys, so

see you next week

 

[MVR08]

OH MY GOD! Is this real life? I...never expected this result! I was really expecting MVR to break into the 20 seconds range! I couldn't be happier now that I actually won with MVR around.

Yes you did some very fast laps there, you should be proud of it.👍

Congratulations! Antares, and everyone that participated. Very good challenge this past week.👍

 

[zipiol]

OMG I'M 3RD !!!
