GTP_WRS (GT5) Week 110 : Rental Car Upgrade

[GTP_CargoRatt]

Unless I'm mistaken, the last time we ran this exact layout of Madrid was back in Week 12 in the VW GTI, and no one made youtube vids of the winners back then.

You might try downloading some of the winners' replays from that week's results thread.

Thanks Gravitron. I got some help from another member as well. Not feeling real good today so I guess its a good time to watch the videos and study the driving lines, possible braking points, ect. Thanks for takling the time to help me out and also thanks to Vagabond (Chris ?) for the first sector vid.

Good memories of that week. First division win with the pad

Sorry for the OT. Ill pretend to jump on topic by saying 'I want to get some track time on this one!' - just depends on how much gears/bioshock distracts me....

I've done a quick video showing my steering inputs around sectors 1 and 2, I tested a video editor which seemed to reduce the quality a bit but at least it only took 5 minutes to upload rather than several hours


I was following my current fastest ghost which corresponds to my current split times.

Welcome back my D4 friend. Missed competing with you.

Thanks, good to be back. Where's your splits? This one is tough, but like someone said, there's a lot of time in T3 so the leader board don't mean much this week. I've seen 27.5xx in T1 so I know I can improve on this.

28.157
34.326

Nice vid^^^

Thanks very much Bandit for this video. These are the types of videos that I can really learn from where it shows the game and the drivers inputs. Wish more people would make videos like these as they are a great learning tool in my opinion. Thanks again for taking the time to make and post the video.

I can, but you'll see a DS3 instead of the steering wheel. Not really interesting imo. lol

No problem, took a couple of takes until I strung a respectable T1+T2 together but it was also quite interesting for me to watch myself back as I don't normally think about what I am doing with the wheel

EDIT: Forgot to mention that my brake balance is 3/10 👍

Yea, not very interesting. Kinda like watching paint dry, lol.

Cool. I was trying 3/6 but I'll give the back end a bit more. Anyone else using Active Steering?

 

[Mamba]

3/9 for most of the track, then 3/5 for the chicane no active steering for me

Ouch, 3/1 here, abs off

 

[Mamba]

Ouch, 3/1 here, abs off

With abs off 3/10 would be a killer. I want to start driving with abs off to see how it is. I bet u have to be smarter while braking when it's off

 

[Jalmenaraster]

This is my first WRS competition. I don't like the Mustang very much. Dampers are too soft and gear ratios are pointless but, anyway, here is my first split times:

27.545
34.288

I'm not using active steering, only ABS 1 👍

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

First splits. Alot of work ahead of me to improve as this track is proving a real challenge for me but I got some very helpful tips and videos from this very help community so that will help alot. I can see alot of laps being put into this so I'll stop rambling and get at it,

I got T2 figured out just fine, but T1 still gets me. Hope I can figure it out soon.

Only rear bias, and only on the short straight before the chicane, I have the buttons set on my wheel so its a quick flick and Im on the brake bias, takes about a second

 

[Spud_Skills]

Splits from first session, using 3/10 BB, AS Strong and DS3.

Hehe...I don't think any of us like this car particularly and I agree it seems to be missing a gear between 3rd and 4th! But that's the fun - we do it for the challenge (which is otherwise sadly lacking in the seasonals). Welcome to the GTP TT's 👍

 

[Tidgney]

So had a decent stint earlier to see what I could come up with initially, I've seen faster both sectors just not combined , but looking forward to improving on these;
