GTP_WRS (GT5) Week 115 : Mr. Tesla , I presume

[DigitalBaka]

NGU. I'll make you a challenge. If I catch you, you have to go again.👍

You're on, Mitch! Gonna need a day though. I tweaked whatever was wrong with my shoulder replacing a one of my brake calipers over the weekend and driving this last night did not help it in the slightest. I'm 32! I'm not supposed to break yet! :bang head: Perhaps the warranty is still good...will have to check.

 

[Vagabond]

I'm beginning to think your transformation is nearing completion.

Mooooo! /Chuk

My weird way of agreeing with Baron

Nooooooo!

It must be that micro-dermal implant that allows me to interface directly with the PS3...

What happened to Chuk anyway? WRS misses him. He's not been signed in to PSN for a year or so now...

One more run and that's it for tonight. The rest of the week, who knows...?

21.592
22.798

One of 2 .5 1st sectors so far and nearly dropped it again in the esses. Up a tenth at the line with another tenth or so to find. I should take a week off more often - I obviously run ok when I'm not taking part.

I'm 32! I'm not supposed to break yet! :bang head: Perhaps the warranty is still good...will have to check.

This is where it starts... next it'll be a noisy wheel bearing, then a cracked spring... I blew my knee out when I was 30 (snowboarding) and its been slippery slope to standard issue 40-something aches and pains since then...

Definitely the key to success here is 5/5 Brake Balance

No no, the key is using the racing green one - its at least 0.2 quicker than the others.

And I'm using 3/2 BB 👍

No no no, you both got it wrong. It's the bright blue one with 1/0 BB

Is the best way to take turn 1 high or low? I can't get a good T1 and suspect turn 1 is my problem.

Orange...always the orange one.

 

[iainoflo85]

Yup - the orange one ROCKS!

Nearly 2 tenths faster over the line. Using 1 - 0 BB:

22.001

22.049 21.943 22.007
23.115 23.092 23.041

Other than the fact that my ears are bleeding and my dog is gnawing holes in the walls in an effort to escape the maddening whine of the motor, this car is really fun to whip around.

I have the splits for a high .3 at t2, but I'll need to get the dilithium crystals "just so".

 

[Doodle]

21.693
22.658

Gained almost 3 tenths at the line.

Ok, but you know your up against a 47 year old man on disability, right? I wish I only had a bum shoulder to worry about. But anyway, get yourself healed and we'll make this interesting for both of us.👍 I had a 2 hour go at this earlier before I realised my old ass had the wrong tires on. Will start in with a fresh mind tomorrow.

 

[millross]

Bb 0/0 abs 10 - the less brake pedal used the better

Nice splits Baron.....

 

[GTPskills]

Chances are that I am going to have a go at this tomorrow, as Im practicing for the WRS online race tonight.
P.S: What is the car like to drive?

Oddly addictive once you get over the high pitched scream of the electric motor that drives neighbouring cats and dogs into a frenzy, tyres made of ice and ball bearings and MR end swapping behaviour that is hilariously outrageous.

Keep this up Iain and I'll have to ask the admins to put you up into D2G!!!....Nice splits 👍

Sweet sector 2. 👍 I've only had a couple of .6s so far... and only when I'm way behind at T1.

21.611
22.732

Best 1st sector at this point is 21.548 so a bit to find yet...

Great start Baron. 👍

Yeah that sounds about right. 👍

I don't know why but I'm doing better than expected on this one. Still can go faster, I know I've left another tenth in Sector 1, Sector 2 is my best by far, will keep trying.

Nice to see that you found your rhythm with this one, hope it continues

Now if only I can keep my arch nemesis Mr, oops sorry I mean SIR Clive behind me that would be brilliant...*cackles and rubs hands together*

After 5 laps? you should crack any time benchmark in two hours mate. 👍

My first splits after a two hours session:

21.882
22.660

21.595
22.669

I've realized all hard Surfaces are considered track.
I assume going beyond the white line is right.

 

[Michouw]

lol yea, 10 laps online with Litchi just for fun, then 5 more in arcade. I found the combo nice so I come to try with you guys

Oh, then there are 15 laps of practice , well, awesome pace anyway for so few laps. 👍

Yep , it's all right.

Nice splits guys. 👍 I'm gonna have to chase you guys down now. It's a shame I still have to run this unofficially until I get accepted into the registry. It still gives me a good taste of how I would stand with the competition.
