Disappointing T1, amazing T2, and a meh T3. If I can knock off 2 tenths more I'll be satisfied.

Great T2 there Mohit, I think Vagabond has cursed me because a lot of D2 drivers have really turned the heat on me :scared: Not sure if I can go any faster, but I was thinking the same thing when I had a 38.6. Let the fight continue..
 
19.263
19.569

First .5 for T2 for me, pretty happy with that, got on the power a tad early coming out the tunnel and had to lift off slightly. But up .2xx overall so I'm pleased :)
 
Time to get a grip on myself. (afther my disaster last week) here we go ;

This man's possessed :scared:. Great splits!

Thanks man it's a whole 0.006 seconds faster than yours :lol:. Yeah this one's going down to the wire.
 
His tranny is a trick tranny, a new kind of one to me and you have to follow his instructions.

Step 1 set the tranny to default settings.

Step 2 set the final drive to 3100

Step 3 set the top speed slider to minimum/all the way left

Step 4 set all the gear ratios

Step 5 set the final drive to 2000

Wes is so tricky he decided he wanted his trick tranny to end up with a FD at minimum(2000) so he found where to start setting the FD for his trick tranny(3100) instead of full to the right(often 5000) so he would end up with a minimum FD with the perfect top speed.

Hope this helps you get it figured out Firecracker.:)

I saw my error with the tranny! I thinks I need new glasses.:dopey: Thanks :)
 
nice set 👍

OP updated.

As always, you know me, like to be in the mix 👍

I wondered where you went since you're so close to finally beeing where you belong (Division 1 Gold), last time I checked you were 0.006 away from promotion. Best of luck for this week's event! :cheers:
 
Well from what I can see this week is going to be incredibly close going on the sector times, will have to wait and see what everyone has put down in the 3rd but i can see it being thousandths! Gotta love it ant ya!

Aw man! Now I have to get back on the track and find 7-100ths to get past you again! :grumpy:

Or should I? I think my T3 is pretty solid! :sly:

I think you're fine where you are :sly: Gotta love it when it's so close between everybody, makes you try that extra bit.

I think my T3 could be a bit faster, same for T1 but getting that perfect lap is difficult, so I don't see me improving by Monday.
 
Yet again I somehow find time. Was a wonder lap until T3 :(

T1: 19.005
T2: 19.178

Nice splits Biffy! I need to lose more time in T2..my T1 is respectable and I believe my T3 is as well, but my T2 is hurting me.
 
First official submission with I believe Wes's set up:

T1: 19.508
T2: 20.906

:-/ Keep having problems kicking the rear out and maintaining good speed on the turn before tunnel as well as the exit out of the tunnel.

Edit: Submitted my time, but fetchbot said "Your username is not in the official registry. Please make sure you are registered correctly, than try again." Just got added today. Does the list still have to be updated?

I'll look into it. Your splits also aren't showing up on the http://wrs.gtplanet.net leaderboard, so that might be related, or it might just not like your format (T1-). You might try editing your post to remove the '-', but I have a feeling we need to fix something on our end.
 
Found some more time tonight.

T1: 19.012
T2: 19.386 (have seen a .302)

Still need to find a couple tenths in T2. I feel my T3 is pretty solid.
 
Ok, in the OP it says to post your time on a single line for the fetch box ex. Time: 1'00.000, but what about splits?

I sent this in, but is it right?
T1: XX.XXX T2: XX.XXX T3: XX.XXX Time: X'XX.XXX

Ah, I'm not in the system yet. Guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow.
 
Peluski, you are in the same boat as the other new guys...we are looking into it.

The way you've been posting your splits here in the thread is correct...if things were working, you'd automatically see your T1 and T2 show up on the leaderboard.

When it comes time to submit, you ONLY submit your full lap time.

Ah, ok. Now that makes sense. I changed my PSN to only have the GTP_Peluski17 and it seems to be recognizing me now.

Huh?... You said the way he posted was correct (T1, T2, T3, Lap Time) yet you said only post your lap time? I don't get it post splits and lap time or just lap time?

Edit: Not sure what happened, but I sent in my splits and lap time again and got a message saying it was rejected, but looking on the leaderboard, I'm at 45 :-).

Only splits from current best lap to be posted here.
When submitting only Lap time is needed in the PM to fetchy.
 
^Got it. Thanks for clearing that up for me... If you don't me asking, unless I"m missing something, how does it know my splits on the leaderboard if all I submit is my lap time?

You post your splits in this thread, which then go on the splits leader-board http://wrs.gtplanet.net/.

After the weeks deadline is finished, your overall time you sent to Fetchbot will come up in the new leader-board which will have everybodies times.

If you go and look at past events, you might understand it a bit more. Hope this helps 👍
 
Wow.:crazy: Thought i'd come back after a day and see if i could find that extra 1/10 .. and i went from 6th to 13th. I thought i'd be submitting my last lap time. Guess i'm trying the magic WES setup.

Tried it= can't really use this setup with the wheel in it's entirety. I personally can't use the tranny as i am so used to my setup and shift points. This obviously changed the cars reaction sunstantially, but with a wrench here and socket there i'm going the right direction.

19.062
19.404

18.959
19.301

:idea:Maybe time for the hammer and pry bar;)

Anybody able to give me directions on posting a pic of my car ? I wouldn't mind participating in the artshow.
