GTP_WRS (GT5) Week 67 : Monaco GP Support Race

[MilleRSVR]

New splits, this combo is addictive. So much fun, but so many things to hit.

27.912
46.150

Still struggling to get consistent T1's. I think it's called the Casino turn, at the top of the hill, so hard not to push too much thru there. 💡

 

[NINE_HUNDRED]

First few laps.

28.143
46.369

The left hander is Massanet, the right hander after it is Casino. Tricky sequence they are.

Tossed Kevs tune on and ran quite a few laps. Its a nice tune and yeah this combo is fun.

I plan on modifying Kevs tune for a DS3 and posting the tune but first going to now try it with my wheel. So much grip seems a crime not to.

Edit: no progress yet on modifying Kevs tune for a DS3, sorry dudes, sometimes its pretty easy to find things that make the car quicker sometimes its not for me. haha

 

[Carlos Fandango]

Quick go before everything is packed...

27.845
46.053

27.750
46.075

27.679
45.867

Done with 304HP as I forgot to keep an eye on the oil level. Car at 226km. Decent T3 as well. Maybe 0.15 left in the lap if I get time and have the patience.

 

[Windy_1238]

This is a tough track, lots of places for contact.

 

[ASH32]

I've got the pink and dark yellow colours. I think I'll use the pink to annoy everyone who wants it

I'm using the dark yellow (number 9) at the moment. I might buy the blue one from the OCD and/or see which one I have on my other account.
Also I'll post my splits from yesterday later on.

 

[jack5428]

28.001
45.645

I wasnt sure if I found a good tune until this lap. I often was pulling low 6s to t1 with it but never decent T2s. so theres about 5 tenths left in the track if I were to put my PBs together. I kinda run out of things to adjust.

Ill post the tune after I sleep.

 

[DaxCobra]

We are allowed to purchase custom transmission?

:S

 

[Matty]

Yes Dax. And hopefully I should be doing some laps this week. Have been gone for a while but found a lot of free time.

 

[ASH32]

My splits so far:-

27.509
45.791

T1 is good, now to work on T2 and see where I can find time.

 

[DaxCobra]

Right here are some early splits.

27.453
45.388

Dirty at chicane ^^

Edit: New times are

27.472
45.456

Lots more time to come from my scruffy T2 and maybe another tenth in T1

Are you sure you have the correct specs, like racing hards and no stage 3 engine upgrade? As those splits are faster than Twissy.

 

[DaxCobra]

Yes I am pretty sure.

I run Monaco whenever I can, and I really am fast here... like my only track I am.

I bought the car just now from OCD, Oil change, bought the custom transmission, full aero and went for it. 👍


Edit: Just watched my fastest run again and I had like 1mm of my front right tyre over the chicane curb, but my next fastest was clean over the kerb, so my newer (and slightly slower ) splits are:

27.472
45.456

 

[Carlos Fandango]

Nice splits Ian, I dropped a 1:13.417 at the exit of the swimming pool earlier, but have not gone any quicker than that on the same lap so far...

Dax that's seriously quick. Assume SRF is off (no offense intended)??

No aids apart from ABS on 1.

Yeah, James' splits aren't that fast yet.
After 9 laps:

T1: 27.391
T2: 45.254

But they're still really fast splits Dax.👍

 

[ASH32]

But they're still really fast splits Dax.👍

Yes, all that is true. Although I don't think I'll get anywhere near the 45.4's unless there is a trick I am missing. I'll have another go later on.

 

[DaxCobra]

I would personally say my 45.3 was clean but for a fraction of a second I was just sliiightly over the curb on the right, right on the curbs corner.

 

[w-g-e]

Yes, all that is true. Although I don't think I'll get anywhere near the 45.4's unless there is a trick I am missing. I'll have another go later on.

Well, I can imagine a D2 driver keeping up with D1 on his/her favourite track.

T1: 27.401
T2: 45.033

 

[DaxCobra]

Okay, just set another lap. Lost about a tenth out of the left hander after the chicane annoyingly, but:

27.442
45.332

WGE what aids are you using, if any?

No aids. Sorry, ABS 10.

T1: 27.289
T2: 44.538
Ok, now it's starting to look a little dubious.
I nailed everything on this T1 and T2 though. T3 was crap but don't need a magic lap just yet.

My specs (tell me if anything is wrong):

Car: Clio Renault Sport Trophy Race Car '00
Track: Cote d'azur
Max. Power: 308 BHP
Max. Torque: 32,6 kgfm
Power limiter: 100%

Great splits!! I was hoping on a podium this week, but after those times I will just focus on trying to get top of Div2

Applauds. Sounds like a mad time to be achieving.

You have one HP too many!! Explains being .8 of a second faster in one sector..

You cheat, you.

 

[Usual Suspect]

Just something i found last night, and it could be of use.

If you use a Renault bought on the UCD (not the online one) be sure to go to GT Auto and repair the engine, don´t do only an oil change, did that with my "pink one" and gain 2 CV (1HP).

 

[DaxCobra]

Are we allowed to go over 307BHP?

I limited mine to 307 but wasn't sure if you're allowed more.

 

[Matty]

I limited mine to 307 but wasn't sure if you're allowed more.

OP says Engine Limiter at 100% IIRC.

 

[ASH32]

Mine was a 0 miles one, probably from the OCD a while back and it has not gone up in power at all, it's still at 307 BHP but I've noticed with other cars that sometimes in can vary by 1 BHP between different screens. As long as you don't have stage 3 installed you are fine, there is no need to limit the power.

 

[w-g-e]

Are we allowed to go over 307BHP?

I limited mine to 307 but wasn't sure if you're allowed more.

Yes, it says 307 BHP on the car list so maybe Kevin took the power from there. If all the correct parts are installed then you're ok.
