GTP_WRS (GT5) Week 35 : Weds Forest

[LeftyWright69]

I might give your setup a try tomorrow Lefty.

wow "V" that would be great . I tried to use conventional tuning methods as though it were a real car not the backwards tuning stuff.

 

[Ealirendur]

Second decent crack at it (first session gave me a dirty lap to beat; I've got another one of those, now, also):

T1 24.724
T2 28.233

Easily my favourite of the original tracks by at least 2.24 miles. I really like the GT300 cars, also (they're all very different, personality-wise).

"Let's put the engine in the back seat!" 💡

Running my own tune at the moment; got Chris' on B. Might try yours if I get a chance, Lefty!

 

[Hydro]

First session with the right BHP, about 30 laps...

24.634
28.554

 

[2smokes]

Wow again! Here I thought I was awesome with Wilco's tune but in reality when I went to tune sheet C, I forgot to change the tires and I can't catch my self for the life of me. Oh well!

25.594
28.797

With the right tires now and I'm not giving up yet!

I read in one of those "how to drive fast" books that husseling the car by turning w/ your feet was the trick so, for what it's worth, my setup is at at the edge so it can be easly turn it using that method. But be careful

 

[Vagabond]

Gave it a quick test run Lefty. Its about 1.5 seconds a lap slower than my setup... turns in easy but not enough grip to hold it at the limit in the high speed stuff. Big losses in the double left in sector 2 and even more through sector 3. It would be a good setup for Monaco but here you need harder springs and max downforce.

I thank you for posting your tune. I couldnt get anything that drove like yours will and I tried alot with full downforce.

Yours turns alot and is fast with full downforce.

Long story short I ruined my old car buy trying the chassis reinforcement so during break in of a new car I tried your tune. I was slow but when I incresed the rear downforce to max I went so much faster.

I got to within 1 tenth of my best OT without full HP. I thought for sure I would beat my OT when it got to full HP but then it got slower???

I think it turns to much even with full downforce at full HP so Im now going to try it on the chassis reinforcement car which made it so tight it became dog slow with my tune.

I hope it works.👍

 

[markyboy92]

Hit the wall now, last 2 sessions haven't got within 0.15 of my best time, ive had 24.018 T1 and mid .8 T2 but thats it, i may submit with current best time as the last sector on my best lap is about the best i could hope for, perhaps that will give me half a chance of being top 3, maybe ill give it one more go tomorow, cant see how im losing over .1 in T2, hmmm

24.626

Edit: Have you guys ever had an event with the X2010? I was just driving it on this track and I had forgotten how crazy (but fun) it is! 35.2s (WRS-legal!) lap in that... can't even see what's happening on the replay.

 

[mohitraina91]

Amazing setup Lefty, managed to improve by 4 tenths at the line! I did have to change my driving style a bit, and max the downforce (35/30 and my car was all over the place haha)

24.601

Thankz "G" It is a little lose but it's a momentum setup and slides so predictably. I think that since there is the least amount of rear DF and no rear camber it finally loosend up enough that I could rear stear the car so there is a lot of room to put it back on to dial it in for each drivers likez....

 

[Worst_Driver]

I have tried every single tune, I think I've hit the wall.

Submitting with current splits, good luck everybody and see you next week.

 

[RIP_Welsh_Don]

Submitted with splits on board. Left about 0.15s out there for me, but am happy to have beaten my goal for the week, however I would have liked to have joined the 51s club at T2

Good luck to all 👍

 

[LeftyWright69]

It looks like I'm only good for the OT now, so no more showz it's hole card time. Good luk on the last push for all those diehards 👍

 

[2smokes]

I bought a new car because I wanted to see if there was really a difference having no chassis reinforcement. I don't feel it but it must be so because I beat my time with starting horse power. Submited with these splits. I'm done.

24.961
28.924

Lost a little in t2 but over all a better run.

 

[jack5428]

Still fighting.

T1: 24.398
T2: 27.996

 

[MikaelK]

Been trying to much, is getting worse for every lap now
Will submit with the splits last posted.

Not satisfied, but it will have to do...

 

[paulp1988]

Submitted my lap time yesterday, had another 30min session but could only get within half a second of my best time I did whole lot better than I thought I would though, so I'm happy either way

 

[markyboy92]

Had a .972 T1 but no improvement, ever since i changed the LSD i strugle to get a .9 T2

 

[bigberry]

Im going with these splits, not my best but a good overall lap.

T1 - 24.836
T2 - 28.222

Nice splits gooners. Looks like it's going to come down to T3 between us unless someone comes in with a last minute entry (Hydro?). If you knock me off the top spot I'm placing the blame on Lefty for his setup which I never got to try.

Or this combo will get extended a day or so while we wait for spa? Anyone know what's happening for the next combo?

In any case I'll have my lounge open for online practice after the WRS normally closes at 5:00 PM Pacific tonight. If this WRS combo gets extended we'll practice anyway so beware of revealing your secret lines.

 

[Gravitron]

Not getting "enough" drive-time lately, and it shows, but I'll be submitting with these:
(first and only splits, about 300miles driven)

24.685
28.682

Nice job setting the D3 pace, Tim. 👍
Thanks for the sweet combo, Kevin.

 

[mohitraina91]

It's true, his setup has really got me up on the leaderboards. For Chris' setup you have to be really aggressive, and I'm not used to being so aggressive as I use a DS3.

Bit on the slow side lol. First ever 6 laps with a wheel on GT5 - I have got about 14 hours of Forza 4 in though since Thursday - this felt SO easy by comparison, so easy infact that I'm not sure I was getting 100% throttle, didn't seem to get any oversteer but I can light up the front tyres - no tune and no oil change, just the standard car bought + stage 3 engine and then some laps.

Ill have some more laps later and get up to full power and put some aero on n that....

Any fanatec users got any settings to share?

Edit: Fetchy doesn't like me? Or maybe it's being kind to me by not dumping me in last place....
Edit2: There we go, last place for now

I decided not to extend the deadline, there are other implications, such as the Fetchbot and when it sets the normal deadline. I didn't want to make extra work for anyone.

Hopefully the DLC will come with the same timing as last week's update. If it does, there's a chance I'll get the combo posted tonight.

 

[NCRthree]

Splits are on board. Final time submitted.

Just getting sloppy now chasing after a better T3. Enjoyed this combo big time. Cool car on one of my fav tracks. This was my 1st WRS...really,really addictive! Ready for the next one.

 

[Biffy]

T1 - 24.249
T2 - 28.347

Using Chris' setup with some modifications and I'm seeing some good improvements in split times. Saw a 24.1xx earlier and also lost at least .200s in T2, so I'm hoping to get T2 sorted out once and for all and get ahead of Usual Suspect for once

Here's my setup if anyone wants to try it:

Aero: 35/60

Transmission Top Speed: 155mph

LSD: 7/14/9

Suspension:
5/-10
19.4/18.1
9/7
9/7
5/5
2.5/1.5
-0.26/-0.15

Brakes: 4/7

This is to cool "G" your on a DS3 so I would think that you are running A/T? My setup rocks for A/T. It seems like you have a taste for the kind of handling I like so maybe you could shake down other setups of mine in the future?

Just submitted and I videod me chaseing my ghost in a three lap Fast - Faster - Fastest chase down and overtake for my submitted time. It will take me about 3+ hrs to edit, produdce, and upload but I think it was my finest moment by far. Ablosute WFO (@ least it felt that way.... )

 

[wotzit07]

Haven't got on very good this week and looks like I could be at the bottom of division 2 this week! When I did start to nail T1 I just ran out of time and T2 just forget it! Time submitted. After reading about using the driving line or not I decided to take the plunge this week and start driving without it.

T1: 24.324
T2: 28.533
