GTP_WRS (GT5) Week 118 : Roma 300GT

[zippy_the_cat]

Anyone have an extra Cusco Dunlop Impreza '08 they could gift me? Much to my surprise I don't have one in either of my accounts. Thanks in advance for any help provided.

Edit: I have an '03 Cusco Advan that looks identical but I'm not sure the specs are.

Edit 2: (Emily Litella voice) Never mind.

Didn't realize it was a premium.

Buy one in dealership

First splits after 25 laps:

24.855
22.129

Fun, fun combo, best WRS has rolled out since I joined. Chris' tune is bang-on, handling-wise, you can really throw it at the corners. One question, the tranny isn't optimized to peak in 6th just before T1; am I to assume that's intentional to give 4th and 5th room to work on the high-speed corners?

 

[LeftyWright69]

What a nice gripy car for a track that requires unbelievable line control. Great combo 👍

T1: 24.393
T2: 21.582

Running Team "V" but only 5 gears of it

 

[Racingworld68]

How close can you get



First splits after 20 laps, stock and car not run in yet.

24.790
22.163

Another 20 laps, still stock, 150km on the counter.

24.569
22.071

Put on Majed's tune wich immidiatly delivered better splits ;

24.514
21.934

24.362
21.843

Awesome combo, extremly addictive 👍

 

[Lou8ball]

Hope I can get a good few sessions on this. Really like Rome and this combo looks fun.

Currently spending some time on the seasonal at ssr5, currently at 46th last time I checked. Might just move onto this tt tonight though, as it usually takes me a while to get up to speed.
So many tt's so little time lol!

 

[oink83]

I'd hope to have learned the learning curve by now

I remember first getting my wheel, and being slower with it for the first few days. Lol, just wasn't used to the FF at all, and couldn't get quick with it. That soon changed

 

[Racingworld68]

New splits with little improvement :

24.361
21.737


Next move will be switching to Chris's tune, meaning serious business is about to take off

EDIT ; Took a little time to adjust to "V"'s tune, improved on my lap time with a couple of thousands but saw some serious fast first sectors passing... so I must be able to find more.

RE-EDIT:

@CHRIS Altough I did like the stock setup, you're tune again is "wunderbarr", really the best I ever used of your widespread collection. Thanks 👍

So as expected, here are my new splits, and I do have to admit, I am quite proud about that first sector. These sector times improved my lap time with 0.4 sec, and that is with knowing that I left at least 0.250 in the last sector as I saw my huge gap with my ghost in the mirror....

24.103
21.687

New Splits:

[GTPorsche]

Good one Matt 👍 I honestly don't know how anyone can still drive with a controller at all... considering I played all the way up to GT4 with one, I now can't even manage a half decent lap with one. Got to hand it to the faster DS3 boys, its a different kind of skill.

Ok here's my current fastest 1st sector:

​

And my current setup:

Edit - New splits:

24.056
21.430

Lost a thousandth in sector 1 and then got it back in sector 2 Better last sector and up 0.074 on the lap.

How do you have 333hp? I've got my car fully broken in with fresh oil change and it's only 330hp.

Edit: Strange. This is the first time I've gone to break-in distance and not had full power. The car is up to 333hp now.

First splits. I've got lots of time to still find.

24.239
21.608

 

[Racingworld68]

Another close one , this one is actually from my fastest lap.



So here are the new splits ; 0.044 sec slower in the first but 0.200 improvement in the second, and 0.300 at the line

24.147
21.468

 

[Vagabond]

What the hell Frank? That's extraordinary pace mate!

Great splits Frank 👍
Keep it up

 

[Racingworld68]

What the hell Frank? That's extraordinary pace mate!

Thank you Chris (don't forget it was you who put that incredible tune online ), Gayle and Majed. To be honest, I think I can do better, as I am already doing the same times online But I do not know if I will find the time this week, F1 is comming up and I do need the practise.

You got ants-in-your-pants Frank?? 👍

ROFL Gayle

Car is still not broken in but it's getting there. I've had many 24.1s that I have thrown away in T2.

 

[Racingworld68]

I Should be able to gain a little bit more time, already improved my lap time two times, bringing me a total profit of 0.100 at the line. First splits only differ 0.002 with the ones posted but found more time in the last sector.

Eventually when all the fast drivers get in action, I will for sure drop back, but for the time it lasts, the leaderboard has never looked so good in my opinion

Just checked, I did 920km in this car today, I am crazy.

24.121
21.527

Average t2, but murdered t3. This will be tough to beat on quicker splits....

24.177
21.434

Best splits I've seen put me top - everyone's probably thinking the same though

 

[Allibubba99]

You inspired me Frank. Tag your it!

Al

24.157
21.427

 

[LeftyWright69]

WOW thatz some crazy D3 action going on, and now the notch looks even more intimidating I know the car is sticky but therez some WFO attitude pounding through T2 I think I'm going to have to load up Bob for this one

 

[millross]

24.117
21.401

Some really close calls on this lap....ill be back for more

 

[Windy_1238]

24.420
21.953
Slight improvement overall. Where are all the DIV 4'ers??

--

Tight splits between Al, Frank and Ron! 👍

 

[Vagabond]

Holy crap, Frank and Al are staging a coup... 👍 Great splits guys. You too Matt. What setups are everyone running just out of curiosity?

New splits for me anyway, courtesy of a tasty Pinot Noir:

23.983
21.437

Lost a tenth being cautious out of the damned kink but rest of the lap was ok. I'd like that tenth back though.

 

[LeftyWright69]

Man I must have pounded for hrz last night and then I just sat down and came up w/ this
T1: 24.182
T2: 21.519

Still running team "V" but w/ a wild guess on the gearing and back to a 6 speed

Hay "Con"

 

[Doodle]

It's starting to look like that this combo isn't suitable for a DS3.

 

[Allibubba99]

I am running with team "V" as well! Nice tune Chris!


Al

 

[Windy_1238]

I almost always run Chris's tunes!! "V" 👍

Thank you Chris for the tune 👍

 

[Racingworld68]

You inspired me Frank. Tag your it!

Al

24.157
21.427

Wow Al, great splits. I have cleared my shedule tonight and will have another go at it.

 

[GTPorsche]

Unless I can find some speed, you guys are going to blow me out of the water this week. I better get more laps in...
