GTP_WRS (GT5) Week 106 : Fuji (Nissan) GT(-R)

[Mamba]

These are some amazing T1 & T2 times being posted, BUT in this challenge I really think it comes down to T3 which we won't know till the end.

Correct T1 is just one corner, T2 is 2 T3 is a bit tricky so theres a lot of time to loose there.

Some splits, now using the right track

22.108
34.468

Still need to figure out sectors 2 and 3 so theres a lot of room for improvement

How close is this koen?

22.055

Found some better lines in T2, now to try and string it together.

Talkative as ever, I see.




Is that a matter of, "allow the splits to speak for themselves"?

Lol no it's more a matter of "crap I need to get to work"!!! Sorry, feel like I've been away forever. Nice event to come back to though. Lots of new people here which is nice to see Kev. Hope everyone is doing well

Hey Matt, I'm quite sure if the usual D2 crew were here then they'd all be faster than me, so yes still a bit rusty, and T3 has never been kind to me around here

Haha wonder who wins if we finish like this.

And why are you above me??? I was first!

 

[Argon]

Had a quick go last night to improve and did get a better T2 but lost it on the final turn...Good to see though that us DS3 boys are hunting in a pack now

I guess its because my T1 is better than yours, otherwise I have no idea why I came above.

If we finish like this at the end it will be who submitted first that gets the win, its happen a few times before Week 85

Nice splits mate 👍 might not get another run at this myself, travelling tomorrow till Tuesday goodluck on the event 👍

 

[Bravojon]

After much effort the last time will have to do. I know there's a about .200 out there but can't put the whole thing together. Moving on.

Final
T1 22.104
T2 34.586

Hope to see my fellow rookies out there on Saturday night academy race.

These are nice splits - and I'm in the same boat - I can see where I can make another 4 tenths at least but I just can't string them together in a lap - I can make a 22.0xx in the first sector, then my ghost catches me in the second sector and by the last corner he's gone. So it's getting harder and harder to be consistently faster than my ghost on this one, but I'll keep trying.

Terrible last sector though this is it for me this week if my splits hold up I'll submit if I drop too far down I won't goodluck everyone

 

[Carlos Fandango]

Some great times throughout the divisions this week... I must be more rusty than I thought

 

[GTP_Patrick1]

Went looking through the archives to find any past events at Fuji, hoping to find a video. I found this that Speedy6543 put up (thanks it is very well done) . I needed to see the lines, as in the past I hated Fuji, because of the unusual turns. After seeing what the fast drivers do, it will take some of the doubt out of my mind, wondering which lines I should be taking. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=FDqTZClO4Qk

 

[Koikeeper67]

well I am a little late too the party this week my neck and shoulders took a beating with all the racing last weekend with the enduro ( but it was well worth it) so I had too take a few days away from the wheel.

after 6 laps I came up with this

22.675
35.315

 

[Argon]

Very slight improvement but still can't find that T2 time

22.032
34.671

 

[Ealirendur]

Had a long tilt at this before the frustration started to wear off with the car
feeling like "Hey, I've got heaps of grip, it's going to make the corner ...and promptly doesn't because mass actually does matter and inertia kicks in. Red flag for your effort!". Too many race cars, I guess.

22.007
34.278

Hope to get more in, and I don't expect the splits to move much, but... massive last sector . Really good to see you running, Jon - I had to labour for quite a while to get near your "rust" 👍 I don't think you have much to worry about, frankly.

I know what you mean about the T2, Argon. I couldn't shift it for quite some time, either.

 

[Argon]

Uurg....this is painful, a one legged man on a unicycle just overtook me in sector 2

Did you stop for a tea break?

Jokes aside, which part of sector 2 are you struggling with?

Wish I knew Bandit, I seem to get all my entries and apex's but just can't seem to find speed.....so frustrating. Next time I'm going to throw a grappling hook onto that flippin unicyle, he can haul me round

This car is limited by it's understeer in the fast corners so just try throwing it around a bit more, keep trying new ways of doing each corner and you should find a way that is faster 👍

Thanks Bandit, much appreciated 👍
