GTP_WRS (GT5) Week 1 : Old School Tsukuba - See Important Update to First Post

[tyl0r_r]

A few laps today and I'm well off yesterday's pace. Someday there will be a competition where I finish in the top half. Someday. That day probably won't be this Sunday but that is my goal.

/rant of a bad driver getting a little bit better every few months

These are my splits so far:

(Insert crazy fast splits here)

Greetings. 👍

What the.... Did you find an extra gear or something Nice Ramon 👍

 

[corne]

92-93mph is my average, but I've managed 1-2mph faster a few times.

Well I'm lucky if I can even hit 90mph, seems as if I am definitely losing time there.

My average is about 150 kmh (93 mph) I think and my max is 158 kmh (98 mph); which made me overshoot my braking zone for turn 1 haha

But Corne, I just noticed in the WRS leaderboard you did quite a nice sector time, teach me how to do that?

 

[Duke of Pendle]

Tried Dions Tune, and tweaked a couple of things (I can't help messing with stuff)

15.329
34.920

 

[JoostBaksteen]

Joost.. for some reason I show with both my tags in the leaderboard.. Can you fix it please. 👍

Yeah, strange .... i'll have to check it out.

Very nice, but before I can ever be near the top of leaderboard I am going to need a LOT more practice

Damn, I really need to improve on the final turn then.

As for the second sector I think it's mainly because I gave up trying to get throttle control with the DS3 so just stuck some TCS on, and am getting very good drive out of the hairpin as a result; also I think I'm running slightly stronger brakes than most at 9/6.

There goes my 0.003 theory out the door...great splits

Hmm, I think I might check that brake balance setting, as I haven't really found anything that worked other than standard 5/5, thanks 👍

15.450
34.810

Strange, I started the session with a few laps where I had absolutely no problems whatsoever in doing 15.2XX T1s, I even had a 15.1XX. Then suddenly I lost 2/10 and was never again near those T1s. So slightly slower splits but on the other hand the full lap is 4/10 quicker than my previous.

 

[The Internet]

Just now starting today's runs. The car was giving me absolute fits yesterday, best part about it was the looks!

T1: 15.699
T2: 35.605

I may have to suck it up and do the same. My brakes are very similar.

Had a 34.841 earlier but ruined everything on last corner of course

theoretical best adding best splits 34 778

 

[carn_the_pies]

Must be a ton of understeer if you have the BB on 10 on the back.

 

[Anghammarad]

BTW. Why does all the Finns have Dutch flags on the leaderboard? Did I miss something or did Holland invade Finland?

I'll make JoostBaksteen aware of this and the double Tag issue that Dan is having. 👍

I also noticed that some of the flags look washed out, the UK Flag is one example.

Thanks corne

These are my splits so far:

And heres me doubting that I'll ever see a 34.5. Would you care to share your tune?

EDIT: Thanks 👍.
Man this thread moves fast.

 

[CarBastard]

Wow, this thread is growing quickly. Could someone more in the know please save me browsing the 9 new pages and tell me which are the best tunes used so far? As a tuning noob who is running surprisingly well in his Division, I'd greatly appreciate it 👍. Maybe fiddling around could help me improve my time with the stock caf.

[addictions]

I also lost all my upgrades the first times around.

It is important that you save manually after you've bought all the stuff because if you only run the seasonal and then quit none of the upgrades will be saved. Apparently the seasonals do not trigger an autosave.

I tried this earlier & everything Is ok so far.

This should be added to post #1.

A lot are finding success with my setup. But you can also try eclipsee as well.

 

[dudeondacouch]

Anyone else find it annoying that the fastest way around the last corner is NOT the fastest way to start the next lap? Or am I doing something wrong?

 

[TheDabbinDave]

I'm not understanding how you guys are coming up with the "T2" time.

I'm watching my "best time" single lap replay: 1st sector is on par with other posts.
2nd sector is much quicker than the common 35.xxx. That can't be right, because I suck.
3rd sector is what it is.
Finally, the total time is displayed.

 

[dudeondacouch]

You have to add the first and second sectors to get your T2.
