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...

I am pretty sure you will beat me, when you get the chance to run enough laps. My fast times where set after doing more then 250 laps :)

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

Lol, yes me and Al decided it was time to kick some division 'higher'-butt :)You're tune, wich I altered a bit. changed to 45/55 and changed the rearwheel LSD to 5/40/5.

I'm using chris's tune but 40/60 and 8/12/8 LSD front and rear. Also, 18/15.5 springs
 
Oooo..GT300 fun! I'll have to give this some time once I get my FITT obligation out of the way. I do love these cars. :)

Thanks. Doing better now. Made a trip to the ER the 16th, damn back and hip.

Its all in how you look at it my friend. You just gotta have a positive mindset, thats what keeps me going. That and the outright "hate to lose" attitude. If I am able to get up and make it to my Playseat, I am going to go like I'm on fire, no matter how much pain I'm in. I have a fire that burns deep inside me that will never go out till I reach my intended goal. Its about attitude and NGU.

I'll remind you of this:

"In the warrior's code, there's no surrender
Though his body says stop, his spirit cries never
Deep in our soul a quiet ember
Knows it's you against you
the paradox that drives us on
It's a battle of wills, in the heat of attack
It's the passion that kills
The victory is yours alone"
 
Couldn't submit last week even though I wanted to. Had a bit of drama come my way couldn't make the deadline. All is well now. I have Bob breaking in the Scooby now. Should be able to run a session after work tonight. Looks like a great combo.

I agree completely! I find it quite admirable that you (and others I'm sure) chase after these goals despite aches, pains, surgery, medication, etc when others in society seem to be more of the "I have this ailment/handicap/injury so I can't do ____" attitude.

I applaud anyone who finds a reason why they should instead of an excuse why they shouldn't. :cheers:

Thank you, thank you very much for the kind words. You see tho, it is people like you and the other fast guys that drive me to my competitive edge. For if it was not for you and others, I would have no dream to realize. There would be no one to chase to have the goals that I have. So, it is you and the elite that really deserves the accolades, not me. I'm just an average "Joe" chasing a dream, so thank YOU for making it possible.:cheers:
 
I did not take long to get in my rythm again :), surprisingly !!

Best first sector, left a bit in the second and gained a little bit in the last, ending up with 0.100 at the finishline.

+0.004 Gap :crazy:
Very good T1 👍 and I believe you can do better in T2
 
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I'm falling behind on the leaderboard and I'm unable to beat my ghost. :(

Just keep trying Andrew. Nobody said it was easy. If it was, then I'd be an alien too. If you're still using your controller, try breaking out your wheel and give that a shot. Also, everyone has bad tracks, maybe this is just one of yours. I don't have no expert tips for you as I am not among the elite, all I can tell you is to keep trying. NGU.

Also, maybe you are just in a slump. I've went through periods like that where I could do nothing right, driving like a complete noob. Then one day, stuff just starts clicking again. It happens to the best of them.

As far as I can see you are still in the provisional division lead :) (ah see it now, NOT was the word I did not see)

Slightly improved first sector, now if only that second would follow,left about 0.2 in the last. Improved with these splits with a few thousands at the line :

24.047
21.516

:D Oeps correction Al, you are not anymore :D

Nice Frank!!! Now go practice for the F1 race!!! :P
 
24.074
21.304

Lost a tenth in sector 1 but good sectors 2 and 3 and up 0.07 at the line. I'd like the tenth back in sector 1 I think. :)
 
IMO this is a brilliant TT combo, how I do enjoy racing at highspeed with the walls flying by... I think this is the first time in a TT I used almost all of the track :)

Sorry Al, just could not leave this one alone, I had to nail the lap I knew I had in me, so here is the good news, I did it :D

Lost 0.05X in the first sector (wich is a lot when you watch the leaderboard), got a almost perfect second sector, and a good last one, improving my best laptime with 0.19X 👍

Awesome Frank! My turn!!!!

Al
 
Jeebus Frank, you've gone mental. :P 👍

I'm nearly 'there' I think:

23.981
21.307

Lost half a tenth from my best last sector and gained 4 hundredths at the line. Its good for a banker but I'd still like that half a tenth if I can nail it.
 
I don't normally take part in GT mode races but the car and tyre choice swayed me towards having a few laps :P
I gotta say it's a cracking combo with superb grip :bowdown: so far I'm run into 328hp... so a bit more breaking in and tweaking the gears and I should be up to speed 👍 my best lap so far has

24.118
21.371

I hope to find more with the extra 5hp and more track time... I'll be back :cool:
 
Hi guys! :)
Been a while! i missed doing time trials, very good combo its lot of fun! :)

Using team ''V'' tune, different gearing, i need to try yours.
Very good T2 Chris :)
and awesome pace once again in D2-D3!

I am giving it a rest now, can't believe what I saw ! Had a first sector like never before, 23.9xx then my split after the second sector was 55.38x... Coming out of the last corner I was so nervous and ran a little wide, hitting the wall :ouch::banghead: I was more then a car length ahead went on and improved my lap time with another 0.17x. Should not have done that, cause knowing myself I will go after that time the upcomming days.... If only I would have pulled that off.... I would have been there up with you :scared: But then again; it's no use crying over spilt milk :)
