Well you learn something new everyday. I now consider myself to be, in part, 'down with the kids'!

Finally made it to full power...

T1: 22.536
T2: 21.315

Eclipse's gear set up, and drive gears, oil change and everything else stock.

T1: 22.757
T2: 21.497
T3: 18.456

 

[sidplayos2]

Made a stupid mistake in T4 going on the grass on exit of the last corner loosing a tenth. Switched to Red's tune, and lsd 5/7/5


22.493
21.030
17.845

Quite pleased with these results so far, slowly learning to tame the beast.

Fixed that lost tenth with a cleaner exit on T4 now.

Ryder! Nice splits, man!

I've gotta speed up a bit more, I guess! Tonight was frustrating as hell tho...a great lap always ended in a spin out after the S..right when I thought I was safe I'm running Eclipsee's settings too..my initial ones were way to tight I think, though it might be active steering that's making the difference. Gonna switch back and forth next session.

I really wish PD had implemented the A/B/C tuning setup they had in GT4 in GT5

T1: 22.911
T2: 21.664
T3: 18.429

 

[eclipsee]

Oooops! my bad, indeed there's a typo, my splits are these ones:

T1: 22.102
T2: 20.709
T3: 17.532

 

[GTP_RaceRyder]

Thanks Pyxen, now I can't catch my ghost! Yeah the A,B,C tunes would make things a lot easier. Thanks again Eclipsee for the gear ratios. I need all the help I can get in the division 4 competition.

 

[Akmuq]

Uh-oh. Ryder go away and leave me alone .

Only joking. Nice splits.

 

[snowgt]

Not happy with sectors 1 & 3. The first of the double-hairpins just wasn't ... right.

T1: 22.815
T2: 21.329
T3: 18.057

Maybe another go tomorrow.

 

[Adrenaline]

How many people did the same thing I did;
Crossed the T4 line and thought to myself
"How in the 🤬🤬🤬 am I suppose to make up XX seconds!?!"

T1: 22.450
T2: 21.128
T3: 17.750

I'll get at least 1 more tenth off before the deadline, once the car is done breaking in hopefully. No PSN means I'm stuck with what I've got.

 

[noshog]

New splits

Should have a faster T1 but reasonably happy with the rest of the lap.
Good fun 👍

Me, and why does PSN matter?

GTP_Vagabond thanks Chris

Terrible morning session in T2, but overall improvement by .3. Nearing my target.

Hopefully this works, those 4 thousandths mean a lot!

GTP_Vagabond thanks Chris

Phillip.

That's awesome Philip. Top job.👍👍

EDIT: I would have posted splits by now, but because of my cheap plastic DFGT pedals I haven't been able to run since yesterday. Both the gas and brake pedals are 'stuck'.

 

[Vagabond]

Are you kidding..? They're like gold dust.

Shame about your pedals Wes - time to save up for a wheel with a more sturdy pedal set? Someone with your talent deserves it, surely?

I'm cracking T1 today, T2 seems ok, T3 and those last 2 tenths are proving more elusive than a snow leopard in a blizzard.

T1: 22.273
T2: 20.852
T3: 17.978

I've seen a 22.220 as my fastest T1 and a T2 of 20.801 so I'll chase that and hope T3 sorts itself out before I get there... Good showing from D2 so far this week 👍 It'll be a fight to the finish for a podium I think.

Edit - hey, Phillip, I copied your T2. Hope you don't mind mate.

 

[Usual Suspect]

Some better splits

Hope this time the leaderboard can read them

T1: 22.322
T2: 21.035
T3: 18.074

As soon as i saw 43.3xx i freaked out

Your welcome, good splits Chris, I would like to find the .2 in T1 that you have that will do me and submit. XX.2XX I'll be happy

Phillip.

It's pretty obvious where I am losing time. I don't think I have done more than a couple of laps with sub 21 T2s.

 

[millross]

22.909
21.034
17.812

basically, this was brilliant.....cept T1 which was dreadful. almost another tenth at the line though so she's the best I got. Last corner was as nailed as I will ever get.

if anyone gives a monkeys, I'm using eclipsee's setup with a more conservative break balance of 5/4 - TCS3, ABS2, Strong active steering, Controller sensitivity -1 - works pretty damn well with the DS3 I must admit.

Car @ 881 bhp

 

[Adrenaline]

Me, and why does PSN matter?

Can't send myself the different cars to see which one works best.

Middle sector was bleurgh this time. Can't quite pull a whole lap together of really good sectors

That's seriously impressive with a DS3 buddy 👍 Really close for a podium this week

EDIT: and now you're faster than me... Awesome splits millross

 

[millross]

Cheers

Faster on splits by about the length of a beer bottle perhaps - it's anybody's game!

 

[Carlos Fandango]

Yep - I'm happy with my run to the flag so fingers crossed. My previous splits in T3 were better by .13 or thereabouts, otherwise my current fastest lap contains my best splits for the week. I saw a xx.4 in T1 last night before chucking it at the scenery at the following corner Not sure whether I'm going to see any overall improvement, although it's not going to stop me from trying

Brinkley's only a tenth behind us as well. Chuk's a couple of car lengths away though so I think he's safe. Great racing!
