GTP_WRS (GT5) Week 131 : El Matador Valiente

[luv2drive]

try engine overhaul from GT auto

Thanks! LOL, I've played this game for 2 years and never used that feature! Anyway, that almost did the trick (got it to 150 hp), but I guess from WRP's post there's a point at which a car can't achieve full power... also good to know. (Curious as to how we know that point is)

With that many miles you can't get to full power without a restore ticket and then you have to break it in again. Send a FR to GTP_3D3_C and I will send you a fresh one. Post here when you have sent the FR and I will send immediately... if you do so in the next 30 mins.

FR sent. Thanks!

Sent the car. Enjoy.

Here is the answer to your question regarding power loss:

Thanks!

Ran a few laps, this car is pretty squirrelly, but this will be a good challenge. Just not sure if I'll have enough t this weekend to do this combo justice, but it will be fun trying!

I got to submit with the splits on the board because my right foot is killing me. I think it's arthritis because it happens a couple times a year and the knuckle just blows up and hurts quite a bit. Think I broke it one time buy kicking the wall.

Don't think I ever told you guys but my left foot is amputated so I'm kinda screwed with no working feet.

Frank got a hold of some Kryptonite! Nice going My Friend!! 👍👍

 

[Cats_PJs]

Haven't had any time for this, looks like some really nice effort being put in on this one.

Nice job Caine, Jon and Frank. Good to see you Christina, hope you can find time for a few more events in the near future.

So what's the trick to T2? I've got where I can get .5/.6 in T1 but I can't get t2 in the 35's :/

Great splits Brandon but you're going to have to step it up, you can't let Frank beat us. (Team Wins-CargoRatt )

Frank: You sure are kicking ass this week, awesome splits my friend. 👍 Enjoying watching the battle from the sidelines but can't wait to get back at it next week.

 

[AspecBob]

Traded some time between T1 and T2, but MUCH better T3 (around 0.7s at the line).

Thanks Mitch. I'm trying my best! That dang T2 is giving me trouble. I'm not done yet though soon as I get t2 figured out I'll give Frank a run. I'm headed to Lexington ky, Louisville and Indianapolis tonight and will have 4 or so hours to work on t2 tomorrow before heading home. Wish you where participating this week to make it more interesting. If its not you continuously upping my time its frank coming out of nowhere to lay down a ridiculous time.

Yea, me too but I just needed to take a week off and relax and unwind a bit. And Indy, you won't be too far from me here in Michigan. Anyways, good luck these last few days and hopefully you can make a good run at Frank. Peace.

I found the very first corner can lose you lots of time, It's where I mess up most of my T2 attempts. I can be .2 up on my current splits, then by the exit of that first corner I will be .1 down. The key for me has been keeping it nice and smooth, using the brakes as little as possible. For the double right its all about using the throttle to turn the rear to maximise the exit down the straight. Just like the T1 chicane, you need to be as close as possible to the barriers to carry as much speed as possible.

Nice job Caine, Jon and Frank.

cheers mate, and agreed about Jon + Frank! This TT seems to be bringing the best out in some people

 

[Racingworld68]

Thanks Mitch,Brandon, Jon and Cats. I have submitted my time and will start the new tt today. Good luck everyone chasing those last hundreds of a second

Well I had a 1.15.236 at the end of t2 but wasn't paying attention and scraped the wall on the straight. Of all places lol

I know what you mean.... but I am sure if you can do it once, you will be able to do it again.... good luck mate.

Goooooo team wins-cargoratt woot woot lol

 

[gtpcaine]

Running out of patience with this now

Reckon these will be my last splits, there is about .15 in T2 and maybe .05 in T3 but I just can't find the motivation to keep running this.

39.167
35.649

Good luck everyone!

Yes indeed, well done Brandon.....it will all come down to the finish line

Found some seat time and am now seeing 35.6 in S2, but just can't link it up with a .5 S1.

If I can find those 3 tenths, I'll be right behind Caine. Think its safe to say I beat my handicap this week lol probably give it one more go and take tomorrow off. Frank set the bar to high and I'm killed out from trying to beat it. Good job Frank. Mitch, I can't even the score if you don't participate.

Well, I could say the same to you about last week when that mountain goat ate your PS3 or whatever your excuse was.

Wow Brandon, you're pretty good with the DS3! 👍 Well done.

You leave my beloved Belfry out of this! !!

Wow Brandon, you're pretty good with the DS3! 👍 Well done.

Thanks Andrew. Not often I'm up there with you in terms of speed. But then again you've probably only ran this a few Times lol

I am back behind the wheel. New splits

[Rikson]

I'm going to skip this one.
MR' s on city tracks:the worst possible combo for me.
Tried different brake balance,it just won't work.
Good luck all

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

Damn Brandon, maybe I should have been bitching about you not belonging in this division instead of Holty, lol. Every dog has his day I guess and the sun certainly is shinning on your ass this week, lol.

 

[AspecBob]

Upon closer inspection of my best lap, I see that it's really too close for comfort in the first turn of the chicane. I won't withdraw my splits since they're slower than my previous ones, anyway.

I've been trying to beat my ghost, but its T3 is too good, can't beat it even if I'm ahead at T2... (D'OH! just realized it's probably because I need an oil change, I'm 7hp down...) I'll keep trying, but if I don't post any more splits, I won't submit.

Cheers and good luck all.
