GTP_WRS (GT5) Week 15 : Running Full Stop in Reverse - FIRST POST UPDATED

[Gravitron]

CSLACR, your tune is genuis!
Did 5 laps, smashed my time and my first T1 in the 22's

22.838
29.597

Middle sector can improve a bit more, thanks for sharing.

Well I guess I need to try it now too. You just jumped to half-sec ahead of us D4's! Evil nemesis!

Just kidding, it's good motivation. 👍

didn't quite get last turn right. Maybe a tenth lost there. Rest of it was pretty slick :-)

Did you switch to a Veyron in T2?

@Gravitron: yeah I saw you hop over my time this morning!

 

[millross]

Haha I couldn't let Chuk be the only one to break the leaderboard today!

22.865
28.887

hope this updates...

 

[DDiamond]

Poolhaas done set the bar higher in D4!!!

Nice splits!!!

 

[munch2112]

Happy "B-day" bro 👍

Thank you kind sir.

 

[GTP_Plato]

New splits

T1 22.764
T2 28.601

Much more like it for T2 but T3 last corner not perfect

T2 28.601

Nice work Plato!

Looks like quite a few of you guys are making some serious progress on this combo. I have a feeling I am going to have my work cut out for me on Mon.

 

[bojangles]

Looking pretty close in div4, with the exception of Poolhaas that is. Great splits!
I've submitted my final time and I don't think I can improve my time.

Damn at your T2, I need to come back on and give it another quick run I think

 

[poolhaas]

Hey Bojangles, didn't think I could get a better time, just take some time off and start with a clear head, it worked for me .
Thanks for noticing DDiamond, I gotta get that gold once .

 

[GTP_Plato]

Slightly slower T2

T1 22.682
T2 28.692

Theres about a tenth left in this for me but very happy with this

 

[Spud_Skills]

YES!

Sector 1: 22.582
Sector 2: 28.733

Overall: 51.315

Still struggling in that second split though, don't know how DHolland and Zoky are getting .5's!

 

[GTP_Plato]

Nice splits Spud, ashame they don't count this week but it will give some of the others a scare

 

[Carlos Fandango]

...true enough.

 

[yanaran]

Slower at T2, faster lap. Guess my finish wasn't as good as I thought, and now I can't beat my old splits!

T1: 22.848
T2: 28.789

 

[GTP_Plato]

...true enough.

It will be fun to see how Spud competes against the big boys especially as he is using a controller

 

[sped1966]

Even better then 👍, but man I can't believe you're still racing, that's a mammoth session...


I'm not an Orbison fan at all, but it seemed appropriate



Hey Buddy, did you watch the video that Yanaran posted on the previous page. He's running an auto box as well, but otherwise it's a mirror image of my run. I've been into the .7's a couple of times, but usually overdone it in T2. Assume you're using the Plato set-up with max downforce?

Great video. I live about 30 minutes from where Roy Orbison was from.
I'm actually using alot of plato's set-up but trying Kev's gearing from page 15 I think with the 15/15 aero. A little loose without the rear downforce but it felt fast. Gonna try Chuck's entry tonight. Gotta do something,,,,poolhaas, gravitron, ddiamond, and RaceRyder are killin poor me.

 

[GTP_Plato]

New splits

T1 22.634
T2 28.676

Struggling to get my .60 back in T2, only took 00.5 off my best with this. There is a bit more time but I always get nervous on the last turn

Just to let Spud know sector time 51.310 He seems to bring out the best in me

 

[Lyvan]

Using Chuk's setup with a strange gearbox

T1: 22.792
T2: 29.010

I think this is it for me...good luck everyone!

 

[DDiamond]

T1: 23.605
T2: 29.410


Short work breaks today, no time for any real duration in the seat!! Will check replays tomorrow for small incremental time gains!

For sure, looks like all my goals for this week will not materialize....but there's always next week!

New splits T1 22.634 T2 28.676 Struggling to get my .60 back in T2, only took 00.5 off my best with this. There is a bit more time but I always get nervous on the last turn

Ummm... Is that half a second, half a hundredth, or 5 thousandths?
It amused me so I had to ask, either way it's nice to see the guy that brought the tune get great splits with it.

 

[sidplayos2]

New splits, another 0.3 in it at the line if I can get it all together.
So annoying since I was already 0.2 better than this lap, and ended up on the grass in the last turn

22.619
28.971

 

[Usual Suspect]

New splits but with a bad T3

T1: 22.753
T2: 28.795

 

[Mr_ANDERSON]

Now that it's clarified, can someone give me some pointers on how to tackle the first 2 corners of T2, I keep losing almost half a second to my previous lap and can't remember what I've done .

Thought I'd share with the group my entry point going into the double corner. Try & come as close as possible to the apex without touching it & try to hold a constant speed of 141-145km(more if your an Alien) all the way round (very doable)

Legal? YES. Why, cause it's TARMAC

This is not a rocket, it is the T2 above. And the reason why I have only broken 28's once.

Using Chuk's tune btw, but can't blame him 👍

 

[Mr_ANDERSON]

Are you trying to start a fire?

 

[cicua]

I am just trying to turn that beast

 

[sped1966]

Using the PlatoVagaChukaKev set-up I'm finding chunks in t1 and t3 but aarrggghh...t2 is slaying me.

iMPROVED BY a tenth and a half with a better setup, much improved gears:tup:

Gear 5 is the most important gear for this combo IMO, with this gearbox I was able to hi 195km/h at the right kink in T1
