I am getting 26s low 27s in first sector every other lap but sector 2 is a real struggle as I use the DFGT and only use 1 hand to drive the other is constantly on the shifter. Thats where I think I am at a disadvantage in that sector because there are a lot of tough corners to take 1 handed

Fetchbot doesn't like me at all...
What have I done to him??
Sorry Fetchbot... YOU DA MAN.... lol

You may want to check that SRF is set of "OFF" we can't use it, and you can be DQ'd if its turned on.

 

[GTP_Plato]

It is turned off turned on you could probably take at least another half second off

Why not use the paddles on the back of the DFGT to shift and keep to hands on the wheel?

 

[SHigSpeed]

I have changed the controller sensitivity to 5.

Does the controller sensitivity affect the wheel too? I thought it only tweaked the DS3. I'll have to see if this helps me at all...

sigh..... struggling as it seems each wall seems to stick a leg out at the last moment and "bump" me. combination of fun/frustrating.

I have tried but the seat I sit in is not to good the arms of the chair get in the way, thats why I have had to adapt to using 1, I rent a room and don't have a say on the furniture in it

Fastest T1 of all with 1 hand You'll be off to Division 1 real soon if you can learn to use 2 hands:tup:

Unbelievable. Sure you aren't Jason Plato?

I wish i was as fast and consistant as him, it is only this track I struggle a bit on with 1 hand because of the tight turns everywhere else I am fine. My psn id before I joined the WRS was Dynamic_Skills I came over from FM3 on xbox with a few friends, you may recall seeing there names on the time trial leader boards.

New splits

26.999
43.993

Still more time left in sector 2

Ahhh the Skills boys...... 'nuff said:tup: I can kiss my Division 2 win this week goodbye then.

No I think you will have me, very hard track to drive 1 handed, great split times you have by the way 👍

Time will tell Plato i guess...... i struggle to maintain any sort of focus beyond the 4-5hr mark on each week, mentally soft i am

Good luck with the rest of the week, and coming weeks. Looks like we'll be seeing a bit of one another on the leaderboards!👍

This used to be one of my fav's many moons ago

Doing that one handed is outrageous 👍 Hope you're not using the clutch though

No clutch on DFGT

 

[chukabilly]

That takes me back, Lefty. I enjoyed it. 👍

I almost called it a week off because I never liked or learned this track. But then... what better way to learn it than a WRS? I think I am starting to get it. 👍 to Kev, it is actually fun.

I am running with stock 30/70 split and 4/7 brakes, abs 1. I can not tell if other torque splits are better, I feel like getting the same understeer even with 10/90.

As usual I am totally off somewhere. After some 150 laps I am fine with T2 and T3. But T1 wrecks most of my laps. First corner, game over. And if not, I will just hit the inside fence in the big left curve. I believe it drags me in when first corner was too good.

T1: 27.371
T2: 44.350

 

[spacecadetcc]

and improving your technique and getting faster is what the WRS is really all about. Someone has to be last but that's not to say that's where you will stay and there are plenty of friendly folks here who will help you improve your technique.

Thanks! I am definitely learning a lot from the tips everyone posts and the continuous repetition of laps is what it is all about. Glad to be part of the group!

 

[Ravenmaven]

Nice event 👍

A tip I think thats quiet useful for this car is to shift early, around 5500rpm is what I am doing hope this helps some people

 

[dsgerbc]

Hate T1. Never seen a split below 27.2. Done for today
T1: 27.268
T2: 44.613

I thought about it, but the HP peak is @5500 rpm so it didn't seem like a good idea so I haven't tried it yet. Off to a main account to check the shape of the HP curve.

 

[Usual Suspect]

First splits:

T1: 27.275
T2: 44.577

Still learning the track

 

[Shigegaki]

Not a lot of progress tonight, only cussing and drinking soju. I think I actually might be done with this week. It's quite annoying that this car doesn't grip as much as I thought it would with the highest quality of racing tires.

T1: 27.334
T2: 44.910
