Another 30 laps this morning, only managed to get within a tenth of my best. I'm probably going to submit tonight and wait for the new event tomorrow 👍
 
My ride. Nothing fancy nothing flashy but I like how it looks in my replays when its in motion. In a pic not so cool looking to me. However I do like how the custom plate looks.:)

Going to hook up the DFP wheel for the first time in like a month because I broke my ankle but it feels a lot better now. It's going to rain the next few days so I got some time to improve.
 
Had another run on this one, cleared up the 2nd sector abit, seen 18.8xx's only to throw it away over the crest. Im using Wes's set up with just a tweak on the brake bias, i've gone 4/5, I tend to like it abit more tail happy. Made the last corner by half a tyre! Another go tomorrow me thinks

I've seen a few 19.002's on my T1, but can't see anything below a 19.300 in T2. I think I'm going to be stuck at my current time. That crest is cruel.

Garbage T3... I got the perfect entry to the final turn and just forgot to lift the foot off the brake and dropped to almost 10km/h lower than I wanted. Just barely beat my old time to the line. :(
 
Finally cracked the 20 second barrier on T2.
Not my best T1 but I'll have another run tomorrow without Guinness in the tank!

19.340
19.715

Edit: There are some damned impressive times on the leaderboard. This really is a fantastic combo and a real challenge.

Are you still running your earlier tune specs; if not could your update them, please? I found your first descript fairly good for my driving, which is hazardous, at best! :lol:

Thanks...........
 
T1: 19.286
T2: 19.770

After strapping "Wegeez" setup on I was almost able to bring up the 4 speed but like before it just wasn't able to pull through the first turn or the last turn like the 6 speed can, but it was my second fastest time before this. I was able to hit a grand slam w/ it though. Great call on the Min/Max trick 👍

T1: 19.265
T2: 19.722


I just can't beleve that I'm gitting my rear end handed to me like I am by RW, 900, cannon, and bubba. Youz guyz are just rocketing along. I just have so much on my plate these days that I wish I could find more time for this combo but as long as I can finish in the top 50% I'm ok w/ it.

On some tracks I just feel like a squair peg who woke up in a round peg world. :) Little and myself are going a 10 mile hike w/ his scout troop tomorow so I'll be kind of beat after that, so tonight will probibly be it for me on this track. Good luk all 👍

Give it another try little better splits...

T1: 19.225
T2: 19.621
 
Well I may not get any more time on this one so I am submitting with my posted splits.

Thanks to Wes for the setup. I pretty much ran it exactly the way he posted it with the exception of the brake bias and ABS. I just couldn't get it to stop:boggled:

Don't know how you guys come up with the setups. They look so foriegn and off the wall, but man they are fast! At least alot faster than anything I could come up with.

If I get any more time this weekend, I'll see if I can better my submitted time.

This week was a great combo. Thanks Sjaak, yu da man!
 
T1: 19.265

Finally figured out what was happening to my attempts, I was leaving the game after I set my new fast lap and never left the practice area and when I came back, I'd just save the lap and shut the game down. The setup was different every time I came back but they looked familier. I couldn't figure out what was going wrong. I have been in such a hurry latley I never allowed the game to save the setup :dunce:

T1: 19.153
T2: 19.633

Hay "jtv" :)

I am not getting this one at all. I've used every setup posted and they all act as if I am driving on snow. Side slips in the corners. Just my skill's, I imagine are not up to the setups. What the heck it's too much fun anyways.

I just straped on WGE'z setup wo/ the wing and got a handle on the car w/ it being a little tail happy. Then after I got it to where I was crowning out on the rt hander out of the tunnel and couldn't quite make the turn wo/ hitting the wall because I was to slipery and didn't have enough mechanical bite I finally brought in the wing for some airo bite and cranked the down force to the max and wha-la.

This car doesn't have enough HP and the tires are a knife edge on tracking through and out of the turns so handling is the only thing you can rely on to fix the experience. Give the car a chance to bite and don't act to early but be just agresive enough to beat your ghost out of the turn and the drag race down the straight will be something because you were concentrating on rolling out before it. Good luk

The 6 speed tranny :)
Tranny trick, then

I'm using Jacks DS3 setup and the sliding is much less for me. Try not turning the car harshly, its more controllable.
 
For me, the more tailspin the better the car is. I added more negative rear toe last night and I was getting regular T1s of around 18.95x, with the odd 18.90x. My T2 seems to have suffered a bit as a result. It's possible, but I'm going to need one hell of a lap to get close to Twissy's splits.. and then it is all down to the T3 :scared:

T1: 18.925
T2: 19.237
 
Thanks for the welcome Al.

I have slightly better splits

My improvement is getting ridiculous. I got the Human stopwatch while doing this on my GTP account. I was sort of surprised to see something pop up.

Time to try someone elses setup and pray to the gods that I can figure out another way through sector 2.

A bad T1 but I improved T2. Also made some improvement on T3
 
Tried this again this morning. First lap, was 0.2 up on my best in the first sector and then mucked up my entry into the tunnel in T2. I've now learnt that I cannot drive cleanly or smoothly if I'm annoyed with myself.

Think calm thoughts!
