GTP_WRS (GT5) Week 14 : Taming the Green Hell

[Usual Suspect]

I'm new to the WRS and I got one question guys, two wheels on the grass are ok?
Or no wheels on the grass no matter what?

Finally another portuguese!

Welcome

As for your doubt, see here that this was discussed with examples (at first i didn´t undertand also)

 

[DGiant2000]

It's been a long time...too long in fact, but there is no way work is going to make me miss a WRS at the ring Hopefully this will be the start of an increased participation for me again. 30 mins - 3 laps yielded these, plenty more to take off

45.526
34.929
29.503
50.953
39.580
28.534
51.313
34.619
29.982

Improved splits using 6/7 bb

Interesting, haven't tried playin with BB yet, will have to give this a go next time, thanks for posting Dan 👍

 

[Vagabond]

Wow, some amazing times been set already... and I've only just managed to do my first run. 5 laps down, 1 clean so I may as well post the splits. Traditionally, much as I love having a blast round the 'ring, I am pretty crap at it so this will be a good opportunity to see if the WRS can work its magic on my lap times here. Not off to a flying start and to be honest I already feel close to my limit on this track. Love the car but that isn't going to save me this week.

45.243
34.652
28.808
51.610
39.384
28.079
50.342
33.772
30.183

I'm going to give it my all... probably put in more time than a normal week since I've never made good progress here... In theory I'm going to end up with a D2 Bronze ranked lap time. I was well happy with my qualifying performance for the registry and that's where I landed then so I'm not going to expect a miracle now. Good luck all.

Another day at the ring. So many high-speed accidents and so many restarts . More full laps than yesterday, some good some not so good. For unknown reasons I've grown an unhealthy relationship with the sand traps at eschbach and schwalbenschwanz. Best splits:

T1: 44.487
T2: 33.866
T3: 28.549
T4: 50.461
T5: 38.603
T6: 28.002
T7: 48.903
T8: 33.938
T9: 29.961

(5'36.770 if my manual adding is correct)

No shortage of mistakes and 2 quicker t9's that I dumped while braking after the straight so I'm still hopeful I can inch closer to the limit.

 

[the_wilco]

Only clean lap so far. Could be the only one all week.

46.820
36.490
30.235
54.065
40.390
28.694
52.010
36.541
31.703

 

[millross]

45.493
34.120
29.043
50.670
39.236
28.094
49.306
34.912
30.428

Almost blew it at the end. Overall time is not bad - now comes the hard part of knocking tenths off in every sector.....

DS3 Settings: 7/6 BB, ABS 5, everything else off.

Edit: A word of warning - you can quite easily run the right-side mirror THROUGH the ARMCO (Barrier) on the final turn, where the barrier is very close on the right-hand side. There's no sound, but I was able to do it quite a few times and the wing mirror passes nicely through when you watch the replay, with no sound - it just part-disappears.

 

[Horst]

Though today was my second session on this combo, I've only managed to complete 1 clean lap. Pretty tough challenge. :/

T1: 45.272
T2: 34.620
T3: 29.147
T4: 51:059
T5: 39.789
T6: 28.377
T7: 50.405
T8: 34.977
T9: 31.064

Maybe I can sneak in another session tomorrow.

 

[oldnail]

Only submitted my qualifier for the registry today to Vaxen but love the Ring so thought I would have a go even if it is only for fun at this stage!

Total 5'36.288 (I think if my maths are correct!)

 

[Vagabond]

Only submitted my qualifier for the registry today

If you don't end up in Division 1 I'll eat the leather off my G25. 👍

[NINE_HUNDRED]

Is it bad I've not done a single clean lap yet The "cleanest" and my fastest, which are the splits I posted just to compare, I came off right on the bend before the long home straight, nightmare.

 

[Usual Suspect]

News splits, nothing special, already saw a 5.40 but crashed

T1: 44.944
T2: 34.368

[pyxen]

*sigh* I think I've driven at least 3 dozen partial laps to get maybe 2 or 3 clean/complete ones.. this is rough.

T1: 46.128

You guys doing 0'43s through T1 are nuts..

[sidplayos2]

I have to Second that. Just out of curiosity I straight lined the whole sector deliberately red clocking just to see if it's possible. Can only get 44.5xx doing that, so how they can get 43.xxx is unbelievable

6) 0:30.689
7) 0:56.799
8) 0:38.695

All your splits are so awesome! Lots of fun but I am way too cautious! Look forward to another sitting!

My best is a 43.552, Is it possible to upload a video of the 1st sector to show how a sub 44 is achievable? The lap I submitted would have to go down as one of my best efforts at the ring. The only sectors that I performed poorly in where the 1st and 3rd ones, loosing .15 secs in both.

 

[mcfizzle]

New Splits:
T1: 44.354
T2: 34.065
T3: 29.099
T4: 50.376
T5: 39.323
T6: 28.156
T7: 48.899
T8: 34.636
T9: 30.124

Was up on my ghost by 1.3 on the final straight and lost 6 tenths of that in the last couple corners. Thats what happens when you ruin a great lap right before that at the same spot and slide into a wall. Figured out two spots were I was tapping the brakes and didn't need to be, finding me a lot of time. There is still a lot of time for me to gain yet. It's amazing how I can post splits around a second faster than the previous ones and know I made many mistakes on that lap. Nordschleife is heaven and hell at the saem time.

Edit: Posted wrong split for T7, it was 49.899 not 48.899. Sorry for the mistake.

 

[GTP_RaceRyder]

Beat my ghost in all sectors, at last! Lots of practice.Only settings ABS 2, Brake 4/8

That would be awesome if you could put it up. Pretty sure others have posted partial replays before, so it should be OK.

T1: 42.269
...other splits

I think that may be a typo... fastest T1 by 1.7sec!

 

[Anghammarad]

If you don't end up in Division 1 I'll eat the leather off my G25. 👍

I never told this but Darren is actually one of the reasons I started taking the GT racing a bit more seriously. My first game in the series was the GT5Prologue and when I first got online I thought I was quick but I got seriously schooled by him and a few others on Fuji and I just couldn't understand how someone could be that quick. So I started practicing more.

No laps yet for me. Too tired yesterday. Planning to do some tonight.

How goes the new clubsport pedals Chris??
Did you get the approval from the minister of finance yet??
- STILL waiting on the G27!!!!

Cheers All !!!

 

[Ali]

Splits from first lap:

T1: 44.200
T2: 33.677
T3: 28.930
T4: 50.119
T5: 39.034
T6: 27.895
T7: 48.798
T8: 33.353
T9: 29.070

Too much numbers, makes me confused What a great combo though, I normally don't like racing tyres but this is really fun!

 

[GTP_RaceRyder]

Barra, thanks for the catch, was pretty late, ran about 20 runs. Might have shook up my Division 4 racers.

 

[Carlos Fandango]

- STILL waiting on the G27!!!!

Cheers All !!!

Picked mine up yesterday Mayhem from the local Harvey Norman. Not sure it's a good week to move to a new wheel, but I'll enjoy trying.

How come you're waiting so long for yours? I just walked into a shop and gave them my card - job done!

EDIT: First splits from a clean lap with the new wheel.

T1: 44.818
T2: 34.255
T3: 28.897
T4: 50.748
T5: 39.063
T6: 28.229
T7: 50.025
T8: 34.254
T9: 29.811

Very happy with the lap to T7, but then gradually become more cautious as I enter sections where I've had issues previously. My best splits suggest I've lost 0.5 through T8 and T9, and I've left a massive 0.8 through to the end of the lap, so I have a target to shoot for now at least.

 

[Vagabond]

My best is a 43.552, Is it possible to upload a video of the 1st sector to show how a sub 44 is achievable?

If you mean is it allowed then yes, I've done that a couple of times. If you don't have a video capture device to do that yourself, drop me a pm and we'll sort something out if you like, Dan.

I never told this but Darren is actually one of the reasons I started taking the GT racing a bit more seriously.

So I started practicing more.

Nice story, Thomas. I also thought I was fast until I joined this place, after racing with a couple of GTP tags in Prologue - the first clean racers I'd seen in GT5P at that point. Been playing GT since the first one but most of my improvement has happened since joining here.

How goes the new clubsport pedals Chris??
Did you get the approval from the minister of finance yet??
- STILL waiting on the G27!!!!

No Clubsports for me yet... just sprayed some contact cleaner on the G25 pedals and they're working perfectly again, so may be a while before I can justify new ones to the Minister.

Man, you've been waiting an age for your G27...

Picked mine up yesterday Mayhem from the local Harvey Norman. Not sure it's a good week to move to a new wheel, but I'll enjoy trying.

Actually its probably the best week to do that... I instantly improved when I first switched from a DF-Ex to the G25. Enjoy. 👍

 

[millross]

Nice splits Carlos! If this is your first proper lap then I'd say I've got no chance against you this week - since I've run about 15 laps so far!
