Whoa both you guys, Viper and Baron are doing real great now.👍

 

[Biffy]

Think I reached the limit early this week, can't seem to beat my previous splits atall. Need to tidy up the last sector, will be very chuffed if I can pull off a D1 time again!

But your splits in AT and with a DS3 are just

It seems strange to me when you say that, because, and I'm not intentionally trying to sound cocky here (getting to be a habit ), it didn't feel all that fast, and it didn't take me too long to get those splits. Laguna is one of my favourites though, so that might explain it.

EDIT: Holy crap, Baron. You're getting too close to the UFO's tractor beam.

 

[GTP_RaceRyder]

Still using Biffy's Tune. Ran like 50 laps.....Then, OIL CHANGE, came to mind!

New times and much,much better HP!

Mate, i don´t want to sound rude or anything, but you´re .x20 behind Lester at T3, on a very difficult track, with a car with a strange power band, with automatic transmission in a DS3??
Sure you don´t have SRF on?

 

[sam_i_am]

Didn't buy DLC. So, going with 787b. Didn't have time to find a tune. So, started with stock and adjusted camber and tow a bit. Running with AT, AS=strong and TC=1. Only could get about about an hour of play time. Will submit these.

On the plus side, managed to pull in a 6'12.5xx on the Nurburgring TT and clawed back up to 135

haha, it's no problem, I'll double-check later on as I myself struggle to believe I can do certain lap times sometimes. But I'd be able to tell if something like that was switched on, and I never use the options that are banned in the WRS anyway Besides it wouldn't help me, I have to force the car to oversteer a little to find those splits. I don't find the track difficult either tbh.. in fact I find the corners fairly easy once I get the hang of braking points. The corkscrew is something else though, will never be able to master that.

Anyway I'm expecting TL to come up with something at least 5 tenths faster than me soon enough

Got to respect the fact that everything that seems to make you slow can sometimes make someone else very quick.

Over a year ago now I finished top ten driving AT and with a DS3...this was before you could adjust individual gear ratios and I knew why AT was slower then. Now? Short shifting to keep a car in the powerband might be the only reason. Now you can just adjust your gears thru trouble corners and there were only like 1 or 2 a track in the old days where MT was an advantadge.

But hey I got tired of dudes driving MT always having a slight advantadge thru 1 or 2 corners so I switched and right after I got it all figured out couldnt drive AT again if I wanted to they made the tranny adjustable.

I'm pretty sure he didn't use SRF. My best RX-7 time at T3 is 57,024 so far. In a ten minute session with SRF on I was able to get a 56.17 at T3.

 

[DDiamond]

The white extension of the blue/white rumble strip is legal, correct? Just want to make sure. Can't remember from the earlier TT.

[Gravitron]

Yes, Dan, any blue-n-white or white extensions are legal.

I can appreciate why you're asking though:idea:...remember the Challenger event here, where you and I had to DQ each other?

 

[DDiamond]

Yes, Dan, any blue-n-white or white extensions are legal.

Thanks for the clarification, Lucas! 👍

Oh, yeah, that's why I had a mental block for that race.

Was that when you clipped a marker; and I believe I had the wrong freaking tires on?

 

[Gravitron]

Yes, and yes.

You just keep going wide at the last turn mate
Great splits... another D2 win in sight? 👍

I need to spend some time on this one tomorrow. Not run it since Monday or Tuesday and tonight I keep throwing it all away at the corkscrew. Small step forward but need to keep it together through sector 3.

19.050
17.175
15.551

I reckon my run to the line is pretty consistent so its just that damned corkscrew that needs sorting out.

Good battle going on with the RX7 there chaps. Biffy turning alien all of a sudden?

It's the pressure Chris

This means I'm gonna have to do some more running, you got me worried now! My T3 was pretty hairy put it that way!

At last some seat time this night, ended a work that i had in hands, wife and kids asleep

Nice tune Biffy 👍, it makes the car a lot looser and rotating better

Made some tweaks and got:

T1: 20.689
T2: 19.228
T3: 16.612

Hope that i can get more time tomorrow because T4 is

Thanks, I knew you were lurking in the weeds.

Had a best t1 of 18.990 but got super tight as soon as I saw it.
