GTP_WRS (GT5) Week 131 : El Matador Valiente

[Gravitron]

I'm clearly missing something in T1 and I don't even want to know what it is.
I'll keep running my 39.6's and compensate with 4 tenths better at the line.

39.647
35.762

 

[AspecBob]

Ok, here's a clean one that's only .084s slower than my other lap. It'll have to do, for now.

Pb t2 and T3. Just gotta put it all together :/

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.

Been finding acorns all day maybe I'm starting to figure out the ds3 a little. I did have multiple top 10, s on forza 3 with the controller

39.417
35.759

 

[AspecBob]

Ok, this is as close as I can ever get to a magic lap, I think.

Splits from saturday

39.307
35.363

Haven't had as much time for this as I first hoped, really liking this combo. Might have some time later today though. If not, these will be my final splits, if the lap was clean that is...

 

[Carlos Fandango]

No more time on this over the weekend, so my Friday time stands. Good luck everyone

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

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.

I had the same problem yesterday, I had a lap that was .030 faster than my current but on the second apex of the chicane the base of the barrier was effectively under the car..

Wasn't happy with the lap though, so I hope to improve today. 👍




EDIT:

New splits:

39.604
35.668

Dropped .2 in S3 though.


39.597
35.700

Slightly slower splits, but picked up a tenth. Submitting with this lap.

Also just had to throw away a lap .16 faster with a .4 S1 and .6 S2 due to this:

well I certainly hope its dirty!

great splits mate, especially that T2! Forces me to have another go at this now!

Good luck, I'm currently checking the replay again... looking clean so far

EDIT: Yep, it should be clean I have no idea how good or bad my last sector is though.

Doing a few more laps before submitting. Faster in sector 1 now, but way too slow in sector 2...

 

[gtpcaine]

Faster in sector 1 now, but way too slow in sector 2...

I found that once you figure out how to get sub .4's in T1 it's easy to repeat. Sub .2's however is tricky, especially the first chicane. As for T2, I had 1 run below a .5, the rest have pretty much been .6's. I know the time is there, but I don't really understand how I managed it before...

As for T3, I can't imagine too much diversity between everyone, its 1 corner and a straight, but I guess the start line is quite a long way down there.

All I know I could improve my last sector by at least 0.070s

I wanted to improve my lap by about 0.150-0.200s but looks like it's not happening, can't get my braking points right today

 

[Grieco]

Finally found 41's in T1. Scrapped a lot of laps overshooting that first left in T2. Hopefully can fit in some more laps later tonight

41.319
38.223

 

[Ali]

Submitted my lap time, couldn't quite match my old time.

Good luck to those who are still trying! 👍

 

[gtpcaine]

Update from me:

39.205
35.642

lost .038 in T1, gained .007 in T2, but gained roughly .1 in T3

Think I figured out where I'm going wrong in T2, but out of time for the moment. Might have another session later but we'll see.

 

[PASM]

39.331
35.646

Lost a tenth in T3, going back for more

 

[Allibubba99]

I am done with this combo. My ghost won't slow down!!!!

[luv2drive]

I lament the fact that I didn't really have enough time this week and never really figured out this combo... left all kinds of time on the track. Had a 36.2 on T2 but could never repeat it.

I considered not submitting, but I figure might as well since I missed last week

40.834
36.575

Hopefully this week will be better (not sure if I have the car though )

 

[PASM]

39.440

Now trying to combine this with a good T1

 

[Doodle]

I'm not going to be submitting this time. I keep spinning out and hitting the wall in the first 2 sectors. I've been desperately trying to improve the past few days, but I've just lost the feel for the car. Best of luck to all of you. 👍

 

[PASM]

I'm submitting with my current splits. I'm not improving my first sector and it was about the target I set for today. Good luck to the other late runners.

 

[OZ]

Submitting with these splits.

40.132
36.225

 

[Gravitron]

Good luck! I submitted earlier this morning.

You have a good time, why not submit. I would kill for a time like that. Or is it the classic case of I won't podium or get a neg. handicap so I'm taking my toys and going home. I really don't get this. You ran the event all week, put in the effort, why not submit? I see this all to often, people run the event and then get butt hurt because they didn't do as good as they hoped, so they don't submit. The staff went and made it so these finishes wouldn't hurt your handicap, but I guess that is still not good enough for some people. It all comes down to a level of immaturity if you ask me. I don't know, I just don't get it. A way to pad your stats I guess.

I know I'm going to take some flack with this, but I really don't care. Its my opinion and how I see things and just felt the need to speak out. I'm sure others may even share my same opinion on this, but are just afraid to speak out and that's alright. I don't mind being the outlaw spokesperson and speaking my mind.

 

[the_wilco]

Finally put three good sectors together. Improved to...

40.211
36.401

Submitted. Good luck everyone.

Seems like I reached my limit early this week :|

[escama1]

I had no time for the end face of GTAcademy Spain (I left out the game will not still good because) I could not do physical tests or actual driving was what I'm best at, but hey I love this circuit and will try again and will have more time.

great result caine

 

[LeftyWright69]

I know I'm going to take some flack with this

With him not posting or you caring, only gets you more posting points and life goes on. Maybe some just don't post because there busy like me. I didn't know if I would get home in time and I still have an hr to go soooooo, keep your powder dry.

------------------------------------------------------------ 2 cents gone ---------------------------------------------------------

Don't know if I can better my time but...... 1 hr to go

--------------------------------------------------------- 1 hr later ------------------------------------------------------------

Submitted and out GL all 👍

 

[gtpcaine]

great result caine

it isn't yet, I'm still pushing for the win! Right now I'd be disappointed with 3rd. The time is within my grasp, I have achieved it tonight, just not in a single lap. Like lefty said, 1 hour to go... cutting it fine... as I did when I won the Spa TT..

 

[Doodle]

That's it. Going for the hail mary. Here's some new splits, it's only a .008 improvement at the line though.

If your T3 is as good as one of your best, then I think you'll get second place mate 👍
