Vagabond: you are on S1's right?

 

[Vagabond]

Thanks Kev 👍 You joining in for a run or two yourself this week?

poolhaas - I'll just go and check.... 0.2 or 0.3 up on me at T1 seems a little excessive

Edit - Yup, sports hard tyres. Have you checked SRF is 'off'? If it is, that's just a crazy fast T1 and I don't reckon I'll ever match that. 👍

I'm going to be away from home for a few nights and will have guests next weekend. I'll still try to squeeze in some wheel time, but I'm going to need to be setting competitive times out of the gate to consider posting splits/submitting. I won't have the luxury of pounding in the hours on this one.

Hello,

Thought I would get back into some hot lapping, haven't played for a couple of months.

First things first, apologies for my attitude towards some of you guys a while back, hope I didn't upset to many people, one day I will learn to control myself.

First Splits

T1 23.590
T2 29.060

Have run a .450 T1 but for now need to concentrate on T2 and 3, my T3 is terrible and I can see a couple of more tenths at least in T2.

For T1 I am using as much curb as possible, keeping a bit of throttle through it. With the added throttle through that first chicane I find it easier to straighten the car up, hope this helps some of you guys struggling through T1 👍

SRF is off, I just keep flooring it till few yards before the first curb, let go of gas, between 2 turn I give the wheel a hard turn (not too much), hit the gas when the car feels like it and hope I don't hit the wall.

Edit: glad I'm not the only one with a 23.5xx T1

 

[teecro]

Quick 20 minute session, see a bit of time left out there..
All I have to say is, this combo is a blast!
Anyway, on to the first splits...

T1: 23.774
T2: 29.532

EDIT: 1000th post! Woo Hoo!

I think specific apologies should be forthcoming given your previous outbursts, including an apology to the race admins for your attitude regarding the rules of WRS. Prior behaviour will not be forgiven based on a cursory aside and you will be expected to conduct yourself in a more mature manner in the future.

Your maniac approach is definitely the right way to go, matey 👍 Its a suicide run, basically.

Thanks poolhaas

 

[yanaran]

I feel dizzy, can we go back to a nice flat track next week?

T1: 23.615
T2: 29.061

 

[teecro]

Slightly faster splits but overall a faster lap by almost a full second.
Think I may be done for the day.

T1: 23.645
T2: 29.432

Glad I could help

Sorry Ash - my glory at the top will also be short-lived I think... I see Wes looking in

T1: 23.394

T1: 23.394
T2: 28.928

Nice splits Wes 👍

Only had time for a quick go but plan to have another go either later tonight or tomorrow. Still a bit rusty as I haven't played in a while, but it's coming back to me.

Hopefully be able to try and catch you when I have some more time to run it

 

[GTP_unkymo]

Knocked a few tenths off my time;

T1; 24.087
T2; 29.611

Bad t3 but getting better at t1.

@EDK - this is sweet and so much fun, lots of full throttle!

 

[Jump_Ace]

Looks fun, I may take 'er for a test drive.

This is more fun than Nordschleif in the rain. Best attempt from 1st session.

T1: 24.186
T2: 29.437

 

[DigitalBaka]

Wow, I am way off pace here....by a good 5-6 seconds. I think I'll go make sure I'm running the right tires or something...... 👎

 

[yanaran]

T1: 23.378
T2: 29.048

I'm losing a bunch of time in the right 180 before T2, had a ghost that kept kicking my ass through there but didn't think of saving it. No idea really about the rest of the lap, this is the first time for me at this track.

I did that at the start of this session, I kept crashing at the last kink before the start. I was sooooooo mad when I exited to the menu and just by chance clicked the settings and noticed comfort soft!

 

[Spud_Skills]

Just done a quick session, good to be back on sticky surface 👍

T1: 23.386

Not quite as good as Ti-Tech's Volvo estate.
Bought a few new cars from the UCD to try out! 👍

That's all I'm gonna say off-topic I promise.

 

[Speedy6543]

Talk about a close call on the left-hander after the tunnels
.

 

[Jump_Ace]

First 30 min:

T1: 23.514
T2: 28.951

Good fun! Love the arcade mode runs

EDIT: It's aggravating when you keep swapping tenths around between sectors. Can I just stitch my lap together?

Jerome

 

[Usual Suspect]

Great fun 👍
