GTP_WRS (GT5) Week 7 : First Stop on the Grand Tour

[mcfizzle]

Hey Lefty, sorry to hear about your PS3 dying. Mine went last week on me. Luckily, I had enough time to do all updates on the new one and get some quality laps in. Good luck with the new one.

Combining Josh's T1 and Dan's T2 is a pain in the ass....really.T1 is so strange for me,today I was driving for 15mins or so and was never close to 34.0 and then I hit my best 33.853....offcourse I was wtf....wall hit in the next turn was just a matter of time!

Anyway,hoping for 0.1-0.2 more before deadline....

The 5 hr complete backup of the system may only be worth it because I found the save file for the GT5 game but it didn't reinstall the game that had the monster update that was supos to be in the complete backup. I don't know what I did wrong but at least I got my game progress up to the backup I hope. 👍

4/6 BB is the limit IMO, achieved 4 or 5 33.9xx T1 splits in a quick half hour session, best being a .908, gear one downshift for all corners including the one before the end of the sector, just to avoid having to use the brake, doesnt look very asthetically pleasing though.

One of the .9xx T1's was followed with .762 T2, then nailed the next corner, but failed at the last corner, absolutely gutted about it lol, would have been an allmighty lap time. downshift to gear 3 works, for the corner after T2. Last corner can be done in 2nd gear, gonna stick with this method in a later session, it had slightly more potential than 3rd and is slightly more safer as gear 3 needs good timing.

Small update:

34.026
20.776
-------

Average last sector...👎....downshift in 1st only in 2nd corner,3rd gear for corner after T1 and corner after T2.....2nd gear for last one with precise throtlle control at the exit!

I also find best to play this combo for 30mins at the most with small break after that,fresh and alert is name of the game here!!

Really looking forward to seeing some alien replays this week. Good luck everyone. 👍

I've got one more crack at it tonight after staying away for 5 days... Hope I can beat RR again!

 

[Vagabond]

I would describe my approach to the first sector as "feverish"... or maybe "manic". Back in the good ol' Dark Ages they'd be drilling holes in my head to let the demons out after seeing the expression on my face after half an hour of this.

T1: 34.561
T2: 20.954

I may be finished... as in mentally.

I feel exactly the same with this combo, may be cursing all of us but hopefully the next one is better, can't get any worse.... can it

 

[Apollo33]

This is the pits!

 

[Vagabond]

can't get any worse.... can it

No, that was last week... although this has a certain frying pan/fire feel to it.

 

[GTP_Kazz]

Im IN!..

[pyxen]

This is the pits!

I agree!!

 

[LeftyWright69]

Finally got my GTP_ profile back.... whew...... at least I have some sort of resurection of my former existance. Now I can once again try to post a time for this weeks run

 

[DigitalBaka]

Glad to see you have recovered from Eiger trashing your console! It is the devil's track, I swear!

 

[mcfizzle]

Good to see you are back Lefty. Last week I ran my best time in my first session with the new ps3, maybe you will have the same luck.

Going into this I really hated this combo and especially Eiger, but I have grown to love it. It just took me a little patience to figure the car out and I am very comfortable with it and it's limits. This may be the most consistant I have been of any of the combos. I think I have about two tenths left in the first two sectors to get.

T1: 35.180
T2: 21.289

Well now that I've got enough of everything back together again, I can say "I'm back in the saddle again"

T1: 35.014
T2: 21.306

 

[pyxen]

I'm so done with this....I've got a horrible time, and I'm *fine* with that.

Get this one over with!

*sigh*

 

[Strop]

Scraped the rust and dirt off the DF-GT and threw this little bugger around the wand a few times ...

T1: 35.530
T2: 21.446

Hey guys, I just found some reason why my times were not improving at all...it turns out that checking the replay on the chase cam, I saw that the brakes are activating by themselves...just small clicks, but still tha'ts killing precious time...any idea how can I fix that? I own a G25
If anyone knows, I would really appreciate it.

 

[chukabilly]

Go Lefty! 👍
I dig that stuff.

 

[sidplayos2]

I've had the same problem. You'll have to open the pedals and clean it out. I've already had to open it 2 times because of that, last time was a few months ago, but now it seems ok

 

[Usual Suspect]

Think i had enough of this combo. Last night couldn't get to my best for over .6xx. Suddenly T2 and T3 become a big mistery. Looking for the next challenge. Good luck to all still stugling on this "devil's track" 👍

 

[addictions]

Impesive splits Lefty. Top job.

I've no idea where I'm losing time in split 1... I've done just 15 laps or so, but sometimes I lose time in sector 1 not knowing what I did wrong...
