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

[GTP_CargoRatt]

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

Thats exactly what I did in my first session at the beginning of the week. Ran for 2 hours with the wrong frickin' tires on.

@Chris? (Vagabond): I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one that as that same affectionate feeliong for the turn 1 barrior.

 

[millross]

Sigh, this should have been epic, but ended up only being 'better'. Dropped over a tenth by panicking hugely in the last sector

Still....

21.595
22.691

Beautiful lap and then dumped it too low on the last real turn and dropped to 103mph, 3mph below what I can get. Gahhhhh.

21.551
22.785

T2 was almost brilliant....but oh no, let's make a hash of the exit :/
Decent last sector but STILL over a tenth left!

Edit: Hai Viper!

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

Had an early morning go at this. Splits were almost exactly the same (-.067 total loss between the two) but gained a bit more at the line for a better overall time. I'm leaving roughly .150 out on the track. Anything more than that and I would simply be driving over my head so if I can string together the missing .150, I will be happy.

One thing now that I am convinced of, which has been a topic of debate in the past, is that there is truely less grip in the dark, oily spots on the track. I used to not really believe that, but now, after running on these lesser grippy tires, you can really tell just how much grip you lose in those spots. This is especially telling in the last ess turn coming out of the tunnel. I lose a ton of grip on the inside of that turn where it is the darkest until I drift wide of that spot and the grip picks back up substantually.

Anyways, thats my goal for the rest of the TT, to string together that missing .150.

@Matt. I'm beginning to see your evil plan now. Put me at ease with your compliments, then when I look away, you and Viper go flying past.

Nicely done.

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

New splits. Lost a bit in the first sector, but gained it all back plus some coming to the line.

21.791
22.704

Just need to string this all together and I might have something. Still not satisfied. Will continue on after the Nationwide NASCAR race.

I am unable to find anymore time on this combo so I'm finishing with these splits I posted a few days ago:

21.461
22.669

I wish you all the best of luck in the next few days. When the results thread comes up I'll post my replay for practice.

Good job little buddy.👍 The first of many.

Hello All! Happy Weekend! Been traveling for work last few weeks. I start again on Wednesday. Will definitely not to get to do the next TT. Anyway, glad I am getting to take a crack at this combo. It's fun. This Tesla has a mean reverse by the way!

T1: 22.643

Back at it after the Nationwide NASCAR race. (What a fantastic finish to that race) New splits and still gaining ground.

21.733
22.737

Changed my line coming out of the last corner and down to the line again. Seems to be the best line yet. I'm finding that the more I stay out of the "dirty" parts of the track, the better.

 

[GTP_Patrick1]

Finally gave this a serious try tonight. Took me forever to figure out how to get in the 21.xx range on sector 1.

21.831
22.960

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

Thought I was done for the night but there ain't crap on TV now and I have no life, so here is more improvement.

21.778
22.680

 

[R35 SKYLIN3]

May have an attempt, Used to do really well online with HSR, mabye not reverse though.

 

[Vagabond]

Jeebus Mitch, you're totally rocking this combo mate. 👍

I still hate it... and Pekka, I'm holding you responsible. Ran another 20 laps before lights-out last night:

21.577
22.620

Squeaked a bit out in sector 3 for a 0.018 gain at the line. I'm losing the plot with sector 1 though... although I'm not going to say I'll stop running it now since that doesn't seem to want to happen. There's still another tenth out there....

 

[R35 SKYLIN3]

Splits, even though I despise this car done ok, crap 2nd sector though

21.610
22.906

Thanks Chris, appreciate the kind words. Had another short go this morning and improved just a little more. Here are the splits that I am submitting as I am pretty sure the tank is empty.

21.690
22.717

I may give it another go later but pretty sure thats going to be it for me on this one.

 

[Cats_PJs]

Incredible times this week Mitch.

I'm submitting with the current splits. Haven't run since yesterday morning and not really feeling the urge to run it again. I hope the leaderboard stays close, always makes for a fun Monday waiting for the results.

Thanks Baron, appreciate it.👍 Another stellar run by you also. Great lap my friend.

I wanted to do a session today but I noticed that tire/fuel was on. So I stopped to change to off but I don't find this parameter in the options...any help please?

 

[MadMax]

It's normal to run out of electricity in about 17 laps.

There is no option to switch off electricity consumption (or fuel / tyres) in Arcade Mode.


So , you're good to go.

 

[Litchi]

And I notice this only today....lol

 

[millross]

Had a quick session, but was up at the crack of dawn playing golf so I'm a bit too frazzled and surprisingly it wasn't that good!

Ran out of electric for first time today, thought my pedals were broke!

Last run tomorrow. Hoping for more.

 

[anastasis14]

Just lol.

21.500
22.835

Best T1 till now, haven't figured out T2 completely yet, and a decent T3 too.
1,5 tenths maximum left there, don't know if I'll find any.

Enjoy that thousandth, Anastasis

Never seen the top three separated by next to nothing!

 

[Litchi]

My problem is T1, I don't know how to hit this 21.5
