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

[ConRollins]

Hey, after 21 laps, I can hold the throttle down the whole lap

Is there a way to turn off battery drain?

Now all I have to do is hope Mitch looses this replay also!

Ha ha, not going to happen again. Its already saved to my computer. I still can't believe I did that, what a dumbass I am.

Hey Mitch, look what you done gone and did. Broke the tow chain, leaving me behind and charging up the leader board! Very good splits!! 👍

Thanks my friend. I guess running NASCAR cars on the high banks of Daytona for the first 14 months of the game is paying off.👍 I've really got a feel for running the high line on high banked, high speed tracks such as this one. Kinda like Harry Gant old school Nascar. I loved watching them guys race back in the day. Anyway, going to take another stab at it now. Thanks for the compliment, much appreciated.

This is shaping up pretty nicely and looking so competitive 👍

The battle of the some of the very best WRS DS3 drivers is looking pretty tasty in particular

Baron, if I owned any hats and ever wore one, I'd put it on and take it off to you. Great splits (Again) Ill need a miracle lap (again) or you'll be beating me easily (again)

Looking forward to getting another run in later tonight

Thanks Matt, I don't look good in hats anyway. Besides I need to get as far ahead as possible to avoid your last minute runs on Monday when I'm at work and all I can do is yell, nooooooooooo!

 

[millross]

45 min session brought some nice improvement! Using 2/0 BB and ABS 1 now. Hit a .611 in T1 the lap prior and saw a .449 despite a big slide, so there's theoretically a fair bit out there.... but the below splits came with a badass PB in T3, which will be tricky to replicate

Gonna eat some pancakes and I'll be back.

On fire this week Mitch 👍 Syrup on the pancakes?

Short run after having a bash at the seasonal at Deep Forest and that seemed to help...

21.540
22.777

More solid run to the line for a gain of 4 hundredths. Still needing at least that extra tenth in sector 2 but I'll probably leave it for a day or two now.

Yea, with a good amount of powdered sugar. Its a wonder I don't have sugar problems with all the sweet crap I consume.

From what I can gather, you burn it all up during your WRS sessions. TTs are considered good aerobic training. 💡

As well as stress relievers.👍 Thanks for the compliment. It means alot when a top driver like yourself notices my efforts.👍 Really makes me feel good.

That's some impressive time there −459.67°F! Hope to catch it and then some this weekend. In the mean time:

I haven't really touched this combo in a few days so I'll get back to it and attempt to catch Ramon.

Welcome to WRS TT's, patience is a virtue , judging by your splits you'll be in Div 1 Gold, it all depends on how much effort you put in the qualifying. 👍

Thanks for the welcome. I spent about 1-2 hours on the qualifier and I'm pretty sure I'll be in D1. Weather it's Gold, Silver, or Bronze, I just don't know yet.

Nice splits! You're killing D4 this week. 👍

Lost some time in T2/T3 but I doubt I can repeat that first sector.

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

I haven't really touched this combo in a few days so I'll get back to it and attempt to catch Ramon. Weirdly, I've only spent about 60-90 minutes on this combo and I'm surprised to be right behind one of the best in the world.

Thanks friend...and cool song.👍

Lets just say that I'm running with a bit of a chip on my shoulder this week due to a few other members on the GTPlanet forums. (SirClive may know who I'm talking about) I'll just say that I really don't like being called out and told that I am a crappy ass driver, among other things. It was no one from the WRS, just a few other members of these forums. To put it bluntly, this weeks for them. They can take their critisms and shove it up their 🤬. Thats all I really have to say about that.

 

[ConRollins]

Lost a lot in the first sector but gained most of it back in the second. A full 10th at the line. I've seen quite a few 6's and some 5's in T1 but just can't put them together with a good T2 and 3. Hopefully will some more time on this as it seems to be shaping up as quite a contest in Div 2.

Hell yes Mitch, let the stats speak for them self! You're better than that!!! 👍👍

Good show this week Ron, for a "Desert Rat"!! This is a very competitive week for sure. And I approve this message.

Well i'm pretty sure you will end up in D1G. Considering your seasonal results. If not your sandbagging

 

[Vagabond]

Thanks for the welcome. I spent about 1-2 hours on the qualifier and I'm pretty sure I'll be in D1.

Yeah I'm pretty sure too. I didn't notice you were piloting a DS3 as well... that's just mental mate. 👍 Nice job in the seasonal so far.

Hot competition from and in D2 this week! Viper's sneaked in some mean splits there now and toaster is almost as quick as Ramon in sector 1... with a DS3...! (Have you made sure you're running correct specs?)

Anyway, for my part, this reverse psychology has worked a treat this week. I decided not to run.. then had a quick go. Hated the track anyway and found the noise this car makes gave me headache. Kept running for half an hour...

Now I've run about 4 hours so far this week and decided to not run it today.

So.... I had a quick half hour run this morning ... and found that tenth-and-a-bit I was looking for.

21.534
22.638

Decent last sector too.

I seriously think that is me done though. Based on best sectors this morning (my pants were on fire for some reason) there's another tenth but I'm way sick of red clocking sector 1 getting stuck up the curb and hearing that stupid barrier collision drum noise, as well as the whistle. They should have called this thing the Tinnitus.

Good luck all, its going to be a close week right across the board I think 👍

2 times I started a session, I hit an awesome lap directly in the 1st lap, then I checked the replay and realized I was on Sport hards...lol
