GTP_WRS (GT5) Week 13 : An MR around AR on SS's

[eclipsee]

Good grief Ramon. I can sort of see that T2, but where did that T1 come from?

I assure you it doesn't come from Mars, no SRF here.

 

[millross]

This is just the tonic after a few weeks of understeer Can't wait to have a go later.

Hmm... Just as I thought I had started to slim down the margin, you go and post that!... Great times!

My new sectors;

T1: 27.910
T2: 33.814

I can definitely find another .2-.3 in both the sectors but don't think I will do any better than .6 up across T1 & T2... Oh well, will need a blinding T3 and perhaps I can still improve the others further...
The week is still young... 👍

Comfort softs is "a pain that I'm used to" but I agree, sports softs are much better. 👍

New splits:

....amazing, I'm obviously missing something here?

Wasn't suggesting that at all. I'm finding the car incredibly twitchy in T1, your control must be very precise.

I second that! 👍 However, I'm finding the long left which comes back over itself in T2 is the hardest corner to get good power down and come off well... Perhaps I'm just not taking the right line...

Putting the power down there is hard and is quite important due to the fact the car doesn't pull too well and you need to maintain momentum, I'm finding you can take quite a lot of speed in to the corner. The left hander after the hairpin in T2 is also quite tough to nail on entry.

 

[Vagabond]

I'm finding it quite difficult to resist the urge to just try and drift it all the way round... More lift off oversteer than I would expect from a rear wheel drive though - kinda reminds me of a Ford Transit SWB (FWD) I used to do courier work in

T1: 27.847
T2: 34.007

Probably at my limit in T1 already - what the hell Ramon is doing I can only guess. (Nice one mate 👍) T2 is poor - not getting on the power early enough out of most of T2's bends. T3 not too bad but a bit too much sideways action at the double right. What a riot this combo is.

 

[mcfizzle]

First splits:
T1: 0'28.870
T2: 0'34.522

I'm hoping there is a lot of room for improvement for me, otherwise it will be a long week. The car looks a lot more stable in replay than it feels when driving. 7/3 BB.

The car looks a lot more stable in replay than it feels when driving.

I thought the same thing, and then I looked at the replay from the in car view.

 

[millross]

I thought id try a bit of an experiment....never raced this track as far as I can tell and I want to measure improvement....so this was my first lap!

30.146
35.600

A bit to gain then :-)

[GTP_iddledoo]

This combo is a real laugh. Driving with a smile is the only way to drive and this combo has me doing that the whole way around. Although I dont seem to be dropping much time.

[w-g-e]

T1: 27.836
T2: 33.800

This got to be the toughest combo yet in WRS.

 

[sidplayos2]

Ditto. 👍

Just had a quick 15 mins. Fantastic fun trying to manage the overtsteer.

You mean 'Fanatectic fun'?
Great to see everyone back, we might get around 70 participants in this one I think. I'm going to put in 110% in this one, I've always been terrible at this track, no time like the present.

Awesome combo again, just can't go wrong in this WRS! 👍

First splits:

This is one of my favorite tracks by far, and I'm usually pretty fast at it, so I'm hoping to regain a D3 podium this week. That's a good start, millross!! I see you intend to defend your title fiercely! 👍

 

[NINE_HUNDRED]

First few laps

T1 29.464

[BloodiMayhem]

Fantastic fun trying to manage the overtsteer.

I can only imagine what it's going to be like trying to do it with a DS3 . . .
I'm STILL sitting by the letter box waiting for the arrival of my G27!!
How goes the Fanatec Chris??

Cheers All !!!
