AWWWWWW CRAP!!!

Oh well, I guess I really have to get to work with the wheel, though after just 4 days I'm only about 1.5 seconds off my pad pace...I'm looking to eventually be abducted!

But I'm gonna suck ass for a few weeks before anyone complains. At least I'll have a break from turning in a replay every week:tup:

NEVERMIND!!!!

Just cut this and beat my pad time by a lot. T2 is still slower but overall is way down.

Jacks right JTV. Just hitting the shift light is best for me.
Anyone else think we should be able to adjust our own shift light ?

New splits. Slower 1 and 2 but i gained .45 at line, had no idea i was leaving that much on the track. Now to put it all together hehe

29.712
26.291

Yeah there is alot of time to be had thru T3. I dont care how low I go Im going to worry about is my T3 PB quick?

I think it is but theres never a guarentee.


Just barely and I mean barely lower at the line. I can beat it.

Thank you, Kimi gave me some positive inspiration

how the heck does Mark take the first corner of T2?

Brake hard and straight at about 110.
Trial brake (a little) to rotate the car a bit better.
Early and smooth on the gas in 2nd, and floor it when you see the exit.
Remember that for a portion of the corner you drive across tarmac giving you slightly more grip.

It's probably just as much to do with the next corner to be honest.
That seems to be the make it or break it corner for me.

For that one make sure to brake early, gently, and smoothly.
This is so you can be easing on the gas through the entire corner.
Keep your car balanced through the turn (no over-steer) and squeeze the throttle on exit.
Make sure to use the whole track here and never let your ass come out on you.
Exit speed on this corner is key to good lap times.

Hope this helps!

[Lou8ball]

Been chipping away at my lap times, 2 tenths up on yesterdays best.

T1 29.550
T2 26.281

Still can't get under 29.5x through the first sector - even when I feel its perfect, using the camber of the road to get the power down early.
A tenth to find overall hopefully.

Good battle going on in D2 - great going guys. 👍

I'm still chipping away tiny fractions.. I can see a nice potential time from best splits but am lacking consistency as usual. Don't think I've a hope of hanging on to Mark but he is an alien... I'll give it all I've got though.

29.366
26.121

Still missing 0.2 off my best 3rd sector.... A magic lap for me would be a low 54.3xx to T2 and then another 0.2 off in sector 3. A couple of hours after the F1 tomorrow should do it hopefully.

Good luck all

 

[ClassicMini]

At lap 4 while tyres were still not very warm I guess.

@ Gravitron: contratulations in your d2 promotion!

HAHA How did you find out?!
I am most likely done with this time trial, as I must leave for my home planet tomorrow (visiting dad on van island).
As a peace offering from my planet, I will leave you with these final splits...

Happy hunting!!

Thanks to Gerchu for help with the suspension.
The Marchu tune was a success

 

[LeftyWright69]

This is a fun track and the car is a real challenge so I thought I'd giver a couple of hours of effort since were not running the Go Kart this week, it would have been Littles opener but he's behind in his school work so I benched him

 

[RDAardvark]

Half a second between being 15th and being 24th! Wow.

 

[LeftyWright69]

T1: 30.039
T2: 26.758

Found a little speed to kick off the session

T1: 29.970
T2: 26.668

 

[transamguy]

this may be the time i post. Slower 1 and 2 but my T3 was abyssmal on my 55.5 and this was a great one. I cant get anywhere near my .06 T2. I have been in DL for an hour and just can't repeat it.

[iGoFast]

Don't forget to change your oil!

 

[LeftyWright69]

T1: 29.970
T2: 26.668

The little car just keeps going faster, this is just like ice racing (without spikez)

T1: 29.719
T2: 26.564

I really like this car/track combo, it's very challenging. I am quite happy this car is being used, because I almost bought a '65 Alfa Romeo Sprint GTV (same car but without the aluminum panels) back in the spring of 2007. I got close to buying it but the car was a bit too rusty, it ended up being sold to someone out in California. I hope this car eventually becomes a "Premium" model.

Edit: Sorry to hear about your wheel issues BT, especially for a brand new wheel.

Edit #2: New Splits. Al and Mike you guys are keeping me on my toes. Glad to see Firecracker, Ryder, Dougal and new to Div. 4 Bt out here.

And now the wheel is broken. The force feedback is now rough and chatters when ou try to go around a corner. Guess I'll have to see if logitech sends out a new one.

This will be my submission lap unless I get another go before the race tomorrow at Spa. Realised my suspension was pants, so gave GTP_T-L's a go and it's...well, better in all sectors. Sticking with my gearing which I really like and I think 12/14/12 LSD.

 

[ClassicMini]

Faster on the line, submitted

[ConRollins]

First crack at it at 189HP.

Up to 190HP

Might be at full song now.

Tried Turismo's setup (something I have been wanting to do since the Mercedes/David Coulthard thing), and tweaked it a little to my style and came up with these

29.514
26.279

Not a ton better, but I know I left a lot out on the track, so tomorrow may be a better day.

Slight improvement.

29.475
26.251

Good improvement on the splits, but only marginally better at the line

29.419
26.146

I hate taking time off the board, but this is a 10th quicker at the line

29.322
26.313

Splits keep getting worse, lap time is getting better (don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing)

Getting used to a new wheel so times are crappier than usual!

 

[jack5428]

Thanks Mark for the T2 advice much appreciated.👍

I can see it really helped both Con Rollins (146) and Trans Am Guy (062?) Whoa! hahaha

We will see if it helps me also.

Also want to say to Matt nice job, nice splits. I just felt the breeze as you flew past me thru T3.

What a race, what a battle this one is in D2!👍

 

[Allibubba99]

New splits. Great to see D4 out late in the week, I was starting to worry you guys were starting to enjoy the spring weather too much!
