Great going Bart 👍 Dead level at the T2 split...

Yeah that went better than expected. I thought I'd never find half a second on the T3 split, but I really focussed on sector 2 today and it payed off. Hitting a few 27.5xx also helped

Praiano and doodle are not far away though 👍
And Lucas is doing great too 👍

 

[Holty]

Thanks to CargoRat for lending the car..just had a quick half hour with it..tis rather fun 👍

Thanks, Bart. Was nice being in front of you for a little while. Never experienced that before.

Welcome Holty, and good idea to start running these. I saw you made the UK GT Academy Nationals (big 👍👍),
so I'm guessing your D3 competitors will have to just deal until you get promoted to D2, at which point us
D2'ers will then just have to deal. I believe Vaxen waits for newcomers to participate in about
6 time trials before they get considered for their first promotion, and you're right on the edge of going to D2.👍

Thanks for the welcome Gravitron. It was an amazing experience at the UK Nationals and met some great people most of which came from here haha. I did a lot better than expected especially when I got into the final 12.

I tried resending the times for the qualifier a while back because I knew I'd improved, but it isn't allowed. Only got a steering wheel last summer and really got into GT..learnt fairly quickly after chasing the fast guys

Shame I didn't participate earlier but oh well..I've got the bug now:tup:

Alright, finally had a proper go at this one after my hands have healed a bit. Nothing to write home about, but its a start.

I see we have an alien in our division. That's good, I like it. Hell, put some more in just like him, I don't give a rats ass. (Get it...rats ass. ha ha) With people like Holty, just means that many more people I have to try and chase down, which is going to make me all the more better in the end. I say, bring it on!!!! 👍

Quite addictive once I adjusted to its quirks. That three on the tree takes some getting used to.

You may not have to put up with Holty too long in your Div, as he has some impressive times Mitch. But, then you may be moving up too!! Put in the time my friend!! 👍

Better now that my car is at full power. . Still need to clean up the first hairpin some... Maybe a tenth there. And I think I can do 4 better as well.

Any advice for the left complex after the corkscrew? I feel pretty slow through there add I mostly end up coating it a bit until it gets pointed such that I won't end up in the dust.

I'm also duping this car to my DigitalBaka PSN tonight so anyone that still needs the car please send FRs. I will check in about 30 mins and again in the morning. It will have an oil change and correct tires, etc.

The real life line is to stay toward the middle of the track, as the car is tough to get back over to the left once you go all the way right. Also funny to watch cars drive through there in the series I raced, as most drivers coast.

Staying in the middle keeps you in the groove of the banking, and allows you to carry more speed, in my experience.

Check out the 1:50 mark on this video.

 

[Gravitron]

How 'bout you post your real-life spits, Kev? So we can see how this 'Vette compares to the E30, MR2, or modern Challenger (your choice). Post it in a quote tag, of course.

Still not at full steam.

Going to let Bob run it in while I go out, over 54k miles and still not full power?

Done the engine rebuild too.

No point mate, sounds like the engine is now in decline. Mine is at 260 i.e. 1hp short and unless you have a car restoration ticket there is no point letting Bob have a go it will just make it worse

Oh right, didn't realise that happened, thanks for letting me know.

Had it laying around in my garage, must of picked it up on one of my occasional UCD/OCD clear outs, I'll see if I've got a ticket somewhere.

If you have a ticket and use it you will need to let Bob have a go at it as it returns the car to 0 miles and will need to be broken in again.

Honestly, if your only 1 or 2hp down I wouldn't worry

I've got 3 Vette's shared.
U could test them if you like.
In particular the blue and the yellow one.
And if you do,please let me know which one suited you the best.
Actually I'm testing the effect of chassis reinforcement in combination with mileage.

Second go at this

Crap T4 though (and a fairly average T1 & T2 ), but still only 30 laps completed and I seemed to have worked out T3! Amazing splits Denis 👍

It's at 256BHP and I have 11 tickets stashed away Might just have to let Bob run it for a couple of hour while I do some more of my rig design on CAD.

Are we allowed to use chassis reinforcements? I can't see anything in the OP.

If I decide I don't want to wait for Bob I'll give yours a go. Thanks.

 

[Argon]

....clip...Are we allowed to use chassis reinforcements? I can't see anything in the OP.

No, must be completely stock apart from paint and wheels where you can go crazy and paint it any colour you want (have) and put any available wheels on it.

 

[Racingworld68]

Hey everyone, is there somebody who could gift me the car please ?

 

[ItsAllAboutWins]

I'll forward along the broken in one Mitch sent me. Send me a f/r and it'll be there within the next 30 minutes.

Yea, I got all that, it was just because Rikson said about chassis reinforcements, I'm guessing he's sharing a car with it and a car without.

Bobs got 2 laps left so I'll get to it in a few minutes.

Another 10 laps.
