GTP_WRS (GT5) Week 56 : MR2 the Max

[millross]

Where are all the walls!? Oh wait, this isn't week 55....thank goodness.

I now have the car and will run some laps. I just need to build the "EDK Flyer" as Lefty says and then I'll hit the track!

I have improved my OT but my t1&t2 have dropped slower. T3 is gonna surprise a bunch of people this week methinks!

And I would post them but I'm at work now.

 

[masquerada]

cutting it tight!

 

[Carlos Fandango]

Can´t get first sector right, best till now is a high .4x

First splits

T1: 24.524
T2: 30.245

Using Chris tune 👍

Slow down Jon

Nice start Joao, and don't worry you'll catch up (and then some) I'm sure

Where are all the walls!?

Outside of turn 1 mate, although I'm sure you've found it by now

 

[Lou8ball]

Had my first run, really fun combo. Did 15-20 laps on sports hard with no adjustment to the suspension and gearbox, just to make it harder to find grip and acceleration.

Then used combination of Chris and EDK's tunes (cheers guys), on sports softs.

T1 24.491
T2 30.431

Missed the apex through the last left in t2, so hopefully can get a few tenths over the lap this week.

 

[btcanon]

Hmmmmm.

Want to borrow my old used TableMate? On second thought, you look like you are doing just fine with your setup! 👍

Hehe, thanks mate I'm on it with the dining table now - good solid large lump of wood 👍

I'm going to have to have a word with your missus if this is the result of her encouragement

She's a goodly woman to be sure I'm sure many of us here can say the same of our better halves.... oozing feminine mystique and budgets for racing seats and FFB wheels.

👍 My wife is terribly patient with all of this.....

See..? Show her the Fanatec website, then make her a coffee, massage her feet and offer to redecorate the bedroom 👍 Worked a treat for me.

Speaking of which...

Will replace it for her someday ....

C'mon Ron - the only WRSing lady and you're letting her do it with your cast-off? Your broken cast-off... Dig deep mate, dig deep.

.....have to figure between too early and too late.

I did a video of sector 1 as a guide. Maybe it wasn't good enough...? Here's a better one:

Had my first run....

Great start Louis - you've made a storming entry to D2 👍

How hard is that last hairpin, haven't got it right once yet

It can kill a great lap in a blink. Brake late and take a wide entry with a bit of trail braking, early on the throttle and use all the curb on the exit. Don't place too much importance on kissing the apex - you can run a bit wide and still carry good speed through.

Probably no running for me today - TV is booked most of the night as it stands. I'm chomping at the bit to run this one to death.... [runs off making engine noises]

 

[btcanon]

She already said I can have one...I just have to wait til August. I can be patient.

 

[millross]

First 25 laps or so

24.587
30.355

Another new track with a wheel. Finding it wobbles a fair bit on the straights....needs more practice...

 

[Windy_1238]

Just a small improvement on sector 2

Uhhh, it's good enough..👍..

..........but I would like to see T3?

 

[btcanon]

More!!

24.944 👍

Now, if I can string that sub 25 with my mid/high 30, I think this may turn out to be a hell of a week!

It looks just like T1 Dan, but the bends are different. If you turn left after T2, you're right there. 👍

No chance to run tonight so I took some pics instead:

 

[mike_gt3]

Nice pics Chris! and good driving

 

[kavu2003]

10 laps and the best i could do...

28.107

I certainly need to learn a few things from more videos! Having trouble keeping it smooth.

Done for the night, today has been abnormal.

Thanks for the video Chris I really appreciate it. But is it not dirty at the end of the 1st corner? I would like it to be clean because I have run over that bloody white line several times myself.

[EDK]

The splits I just posted have the same line.

Over the line is not an issue. You just need to be on tarmac or red and white rumble.

 

[GTP_RaceRyder]

Got a few more laps in. Will get in on the chase(div 4) later this week.

Well sucks to be me then. Threw out a lap that was 1.5 second improvement because of that line. Thanks for letting me know maybe I can do it again!

[Gravitron]

Ye olde WRS mantra: If you can do it once, you can do it again. Jon knows what I'm talking about (right?).

 

[Lou8ball]

Slightly faster splits, although I lost over a tenth in t1, slightly faster through the long right before the tunnel - on the power earlier. And tidyer final corner for a few tenths at the line.

T1 24.590
T2 30.304

Hopefully can get a bit more time when at full hp.

 

[AspecBob]

Lou, if you got the car from the OCD, it's already fully broken-in.

Chris, thanks for the video, and nice pics! I also like the paint job. 👍

I'll be getting back to this TT after the online races.

 

[Carlos Fandango]

certainly do, and you know what, 9 times out of 10 it's true!

Talking of which...

I have to ask though Al.... what made you think I'd post a dirty sector guide video? .....I win, everyone else is DQ'd

Nice pics Chris! and good driving

Thanks Mike. When are you getting stuck in?

Running my version of the Modified EDK Flyer/Vagabond Special Hybrid.

That's getting to be a mouthful... Nice step though Kev. I'll give your tweak-tweaks a go when I get my next run.

Nice step again there as well Louis - you like this track too eh?

Chris, thanks for the video, and nice pics! I also like the paint job. 👍

Thanks mate. The paint is Starmist Crimson - TVRs have some of the best paint colours in my opinion. 👍

 

[mike_gt3]

Thanks Mike. When are you getting stuck in?

I will give a try at this one but cant before the weekend unfortunatly, i have to run cars for the 400PP challenge in the tuning forum, and i have very few free time these days with the job, i have to do at least 55h per week. , this one look like a lot of fun! 👍

 

[Lou8ball]

Lou, if you got the car from the OCD, it's already fully broken-in.

Hey, I found it laying around in my main account garage, don't know when I bought it - think it was during the 1000 for the trophy. Im still at 202 and I saw in the opening post said 206, so hopefully a few more hp with oil change and break-in would be nice .

Nice step again there as well Louis - you like this track too eh?

Thanks, yeah I like this track, I think its due to the online tt - I did a lot of laps round here, so its just getting used to the handling of the car, and trying to take the same lines. Still its always 50/50 with the final corner, either over cook it, get too early on the power, or brake too soon and loose time. Hopefully will be able to nail every sector before the deadline. Really nice t2 by the way, you must have got it perfect.
