GTP_WRS (GT5) Week 51 : Rain Dance

[Gerchu]

First try...
T1: 1'00.871
T2: 50.867

 

[Shlagem]

I know what you mean, my best T1 is 1:03.5?? I'll wait for the next one. I just get annoyed and drive into the wall.

I have taken 4 seconds off my total lap tonight and not made a dent in t1.

I have similar splits even though I'm not struggling at most of the corners the car flow is good, it seams that too much power makes the wheels spin a lot and loosing big time.

I'm certainly not good in the rain, I'll drop this one

 

[WILDMAN442]

Have you guys tried messing with your LSD setting?

My T1 was close to yours my first couple of sessions.

Give it another shot for D3!!!

[Cats_PJs]

Better setup. More time everywhere, but putting a complete lap together is getting tough.

1'00.544
49.752

 

[Allibubba99]

I am done. Final submission for me.

Justin

One last go gave me this

1:01.927
51.484

 

[GTPorsche]

Not sure how much more time Ill get with this combo. Going to submit before the deadline though.

 

[NINE_HUNDRED]

Don't think I'm built for the rain Haven't really come close to Dale and Al's times. I'll see you guys on the dry

 

[GTP_RaceRyder]

Looks like a Victory Al, I could not get a faster group together! Final Splits, and Submittal. Good Luck with the 3D3 Race Wednesday!

Mike, try Praiano's Tune, with throttle control very little brake use, and bb3/1. The gears in the tune were great!

Who knows what T3 will be like, I don't think mine is very strong. We shall see tomorrow. I tried Praianos tune and couldn't get hold of it. I switched back to kev's tune and blasted that last time on my 2nd lap. Not sure I will be racing Wed. yet. See you next week.

Had a faster lap, but lost at least a tenth at the hair-pin, and the double left before the back straight.

T1 1'00.662
T2 49.948

Still feel I can do a bit better. Maybe another tenth before the deadline.
Im finding my tyres work best on lap 2.

Don't you think you should slow it down a bit.

Submitting now with my splits on the board as I don't think I will have a chance to run this combo again.
Only hope I can make some time to run it again either later or tomorrow to try to catch back up to Lou8ball.

 

[Gravitron]

Nice to see you back, teecro. 👍

I'll put these splits up, from my only clean lap, but I doubt I'll be submitting. I should be better in the rain, driving in Seattle for the last 20 years.

1'01.006
51.029

On one of my laps, the game stealth-switched me to Racing Intermediates, and they were a couple seconds faster. 👎

 

[teecro]

Nice to see you back, teecro. 👍

Thank you, look forward to improving and battling with you again.
It's nice to be back and able to get some time to race.
I had a recent schedule change at work that has graced me with more spare time which I gladly filled with the WRS.

P.S. Nice combo for next week. 👍

 

[Ealirendur]

Everyone's finishing up? I finally got started!

Well, I got awful laps in Friday night, and some Saturday, but I didn't have a single usable massive-error-free-and-clean lap until last night:

T1: 1'01.008
T2: 50.354

Maybe the beer and wine during Sunday dinner helped. And the sleep dep.

I gave Lou's tune a quick go on the DS3 at one point - what an incredibly eye-opening experience, as a reminder of the controller differences. Try it if you get time!

I'm not sure I'll be able to submit, as Mt Maserati's awesomeness beckons, but I really wanted to try this one out. Tough combo, and the masochism is kind of addictive. Car awesome, track awesome, the weather is WHAT?

I also polished off the Licence Golds on the wheel yesterday, so all done again there now. Better do the proper special events (AMG, Eiger), I suppose, but I have to clean some of those up on my main with the DS3 first!

 

[Speedy6543]

Wish I had more time the past days.

1'00.813
50.010

One more session to go... tomorrow.

 

[jtv90069]

Submitted with current splits, don't know if I'll have another run at this and the last 2 attempts have not produced a better time for me.

 

[Carlos Fandango]

Have submitted my time now as well - had a quick go on Saturday but couldn't come close. Will try and get some time tonight, but I'm not confident so fingers crossed my T3 is good enough. Good luck Tim, Kev, Baron and Viper!

 

[Cats_PJs]

Submitted with the posted splits. I saw quite a few. 2s in T1 but couldn't finish the lap.

 

[Carlos Fandango]

That's a relief

 

[WRP001]

Gutted by the Super Bowl and can't drive... I submitted yesterday and I'll have to stick with that lap as I don't have the stomach to sit at the wheel right now.

 

[Cats_PJs]

I lied, found a slightly quicker lap that looks clean.

You still don't need to worry Jon. T3 is not the best.

1'00.580
49.580

I wish I had more time, I know I could do better.

 

[Carlos Fandango]

It's that sort of an event isn't it? Quite a long, technical lap and then add the rain and the twitchy car I know I have 0.2 sitting in turn 2, and I can find it 9 times out of 10 - problem is there's another couple of minutes of lap time after that to mess up somewhere else

I think Tim is quite happy with his lap so we'll wait and see what tomorrow brings

 

[Cats_PJs]

Ya, threw away lots of good sector times,. Can be frustrating, but also lots of fun.

 

[Lou8ball]

Don't you think you should slow it down a bit. .

Sorry, lol. I think its just the stupid amount of time im putting in. If I was limited to under 6 hours id definitely be a lot further down I think.

Just had a quick run before work, right on the edge, but a bit untidy through the 3rd sector so will have a final run this evening.

T1 1'00.638
T2 49.836

Running less rear wing now, 4-5 below full.

Edit.

Sorry lol. I meant 49s. Do i have to repost or is changing it in this post ok. Sorry again.

Is that T2 a typo? Beating Wes and Twissy by 0.5 in a sector is... Well if you did lets just say you shouldn't be in D3.

Sorry guys, yeah was a typo lol. I've changed it now to the correct time. Sorry for the scare lol.

Maybe one day ill be that fast but doubtful lol.

Cheers

I'm submitting with posted splits. I love the combo, I just didn't spend much time on it. The Maserati at Trial Mountain is too tempting to me!!!

 

[Carlos Fandango]

Just had 20 minutes for one last ditch attempt to get a faster lap but failed - came close in places but it's so easy just to spin up the wheels out of the hairpin or Casio and lose the advantage and more in the subsequent long drags to the next braking point.

A nervous eleven and a half hours to go

 

[chukabilly]

I wish you the best, Jon!
