@ MilleRSVR, in Kenny Roberts day the t-shirt read "...170mph". Gotta love technology and fast Italian bikes!

@ MilleRSVR, in Kenny Roberts day the t-shirt read "...170mph". Gotta love technology and fast Italian bikes!

I remember watching Kenny back in the "day". We're about the same age I believe.

I have a sweat shirt I bought 20 years ago that says "Life Begins @ 180mph"
I still have it, and wear it. My days of doing 180mph are long gone now.

Go Aprilia in the SBK Championship this year.👍

First real session then.

Racing On! [After I sleep off the Super Bowl party!]

20 years ago I was racing @ Loudon and the t-shirts only went up to 170! It was a tight track then . Loved KR but my favorites were Eddy Lawson, Wayne Rainey and Brett Gardner.
Hey we can still go 180 plus some; in the comfort of our living rooms!

If you want your splits to show up on the leaderboard, you'll need to post your splits to three decimal places.

[Gravitron]

I still don't know where the monkey is... I feel enormously ignorant.

Whenever I screw up this turn, I blame the monkey. And then the sea-monster is to blame for problems in the corner in pic #1 in the OP.

Great start Ron, nice one 👍 I'm just beginning to discover what this motor can do around here and loving it.

Did you pick this combo Lucas? Great choice mate. 👍

Cool, it means a lot to hear that from you, and everyone else. 👍 As the combo was materializing with guidance from Kevin & the guys, the thought of D1'ers absolutely destroying the track gave me a smile. Oh. I even tested it with the DS3, to make sure it was all equal-opportunity.

My neighbor owns one of these cars, and I can tell you first-hand, that the idle and low-revs sounds are spot on. 👍

Racing On! (ok, maybe after the game)
Looking to improve my entrance to the first tunnel, and the hard-right just after that tunnel.

 

[Twissy]

Best of luck Chuk mate 👍 Hope you have a stock of spare foams I still don't know where the monkey is... I feel enormously ignorant.

Got a good rhythm going on this lap. No idea how much more I'm looking for, just loving it. Up 0.6 on my previous best with this.

Nice Splits Chris, I had to spend about 10 laps trying to figure out where I was losing half a second, finally managed to hook a complete lap together. There still more time in the first and 3rd sectors as you've proven, I dont think i'll be able to replicate my 2nd sector again

When I sober up, which won't be soon, I have a lot of work to do!!!

Those times from D1 are astronomical.

Almost "ALIEN"!!!

Racing On by Tuesday at the latest!

GO {insert your team here}!

 

[Carlos Fandango]

When I sober up, which won't be soon...

Drinking on Chuk

Drinking on Chuk

Jon!

I think it would be appropriate if everyone around the world stopped racing for a few hours so that the Merkins don't fall any farther behind! Just sayin'.

Thanks mate. Fantastic sector 2 time 👍 Don't think I can match that.

Have seen a 17.971 as my best 1st sector though, so trying to sew that into a good lap. No overall improvement yet so I'll come back to it later. Should've spent today's GT time on the Lotus at Suzuka but this is a bit addictive.

OK mate, you've got 26 hours, starting..... now! Go!!

 

[chukabilly]

Have seen a 17.971 as my best 1st sector though

So that will be my target.

In about 48 hours! First I am going to:

Loads of improvement to be had in T2...this one was terrible. I think I had better check on the boundaries as well.

 

[WILDMAN442]

Definitely need to sober up and give this another go tomorrow.

Convinced the wife to get me a wheel for valentines day (she doesnt know she is getting Tiffany's !!!)

Have a nice night fellas!

Go D3 silvers!!!

[Gravitron]

Very nice combo Lucas 👍

First splits with a really bad last sector

T1: 18.358

Thanks Joao! Nice splits!

At the top of the first tunnel, I just bounce off the 2nd-gear rev-limiter. And can usually catch my ghost in the next hard-right, by using less brake. Just proud to match your T3. 👍

 

[munch2112]

Hey!!!!!!

I havent been here for a while.... have been busy with some real life... But I'm definitely back this week to celebrate one year of GT5 WRS

I will get going with this tonight... and see where I am with you all once again

Can't wait to get back into the hotseat!!

 

[Vagabond]

Nice sector 2 Ron - I'm struggling a bit to maintain my pace through there 👍

Welcome back Joao - good start mate. Good luck, great combo this one

Hey Adam mate - welcome back to you too... long time

 

[munch2112]

Hey Adam mate - welcome back to you too... long time

Hello!

Thanks Yes, it has been far too long.... Havent touched GT5 in about 5/6 months I think! Will be interesting to get some splits up tonight and compare them to old times.

Its nice to be back though! Hopefully will be around a few more weeks 👍

 

[Usual Suspect]

Thanks Chris 👍

Must remember week2 and try not to give to much attention to the first sector.
At that time i was always starting again after the first turn
