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

[Rudi Raser]

I think I´m done now.

34.151
20.907

 

[A7XMaverick]

34.449
20.985

 

[LeftyWright69]

T1: 35.593
T2: 21.313

I have started to find some quicker ways to get around this old favorite that previous challenges have showed as the way around this track. As for the gold achievement in this challenge, I think this one rates up there with true difficulty.

T1: 35.387
T2: 21.306

 

[RoeszaGT]

I just can't drive the downhill section.

T1: 35.870
T2: 21.396

 

[ASH32]

I don't really like Eiger, but there was no way I wasn't taking part this week. While I probably won't submit this lap as it's a little suspect, I'll post up my splits anyway, so you'll all know where abouts I am at the moment.

T1: 34.877
T2: 20.995

I know I have a bit more in me, if only I can put all the sectors together in one lap.

 

[NIZZY]

First splits this week. had to strenghthen my homemade cockpit for the first four corners.

T1: 34.738
T2: 21.283

Fairly happy with T1 and T3 but more to come from T2.

 

[MisterWeary]

Final splits for me:

T1: 35.024
T2: 21.230

I'm happy with my lap :-)

Thought I'd post a pic of my close moment after T2:

[U.R.]

T1: 35.637
t2: 21.421

 

[DigitalBaka]

T1: 35.142"
T2: 21.404"

Blech, I'm done! I hate this course slightly less than Monaco so I decided to give it a shot. I realize my throttle control with my thumbs is not good enough (yet) to get a consistent time with this monster through the first section. Saw a 34.9xx once but slid into the tunnel wall coming out of the big turnaround. Oh well.

 

[Trismantis]

Really struggling...

T1: 35.435
T2: 21.621

T1: 35.142"
T2: 21.404"

For sure this track is tough with a DS3. So far with the wheel I'm about 0.7 seconds faster with the wheel than the controller.

BTW, I love the name. DigitalBaka. That's Japanese no?

1st hour has only brought more questions than answers for me,
T1: 35.411
T2: 21.208

 

[DigitalBaka]

BTW, I love the name. DigitalBaka. That's Japanese no?

It is. I am an anime fan and used to make anime music videos way back when. While trying to come up with a "studio name" I got a suggestion from a friend. Thus was born Digital Baka Productions and I've been using it since.

Back on topic somewhat, I do have a DFGT in the basement that I use with my computer. However, I can't find a good way to set it up in the living room for the PS3. The available chairs and tables just don't work together. Tried with it resting on my legs...wasn't pretty. I will build myself a rig for it this summer perhaps but for now I am mostly content to keep learning with the DS3.

T1: 35.387
T2: 21.306

My practice ghost is showing me the way

T1: 35.284
T2: 21.291

 

[GTPorsche]

Finally got a faster time and saved the replay.

T1: 35.198
T2: 21.252

 

[LeftyWright69]

T1: 35.284
T2: 21.291

Starting to make sence of it all

T1: 35.180
T2: 21.289

My first triple (all 3 sectors clean and my fastest over all) since my first sector calls.

Nightmare: My PS3 just got stuck on stupid and is acting like it’s in dream land I don’t know what to do, I maybe screwed for everything up to this point and I don’t know where I’m headed except to the store most likely to get a new PS3. Thank God I backed the entire PS3 a couple of weeks ago.

Just like they say about motors "they are the fastest right before they blow"

I'd like to be the kid in the blue cap snapping that picture!
Awesome splits! 👍

[Anghammarad]

In case anyone is unsure. On Eiger it is not the white line that is the end of the track but the tarmac edge. Or so it has been before.

 

[corne]

Is it possible to put 3 wheels off anywhere without a wall touch; think I might need to watch a bit closer if that's the case

 

[sems4arsenal]

Right ,Spent 20 minutes I improved on Every Sector except T1 ,don't why But I am not even close to Yesterdays T1 times for me .So Gents any T1 Tips?

 

[NielsG]

Second session:

34.991
21.257

 

[Manuelos]

No improvements today, submitting with my current splits

 

[GTP_Plato]

Nice pics, picture 2 looks great 👍

Really can't see why people complain about the smoke effects on this game

 

[Rudi Raser]

Submitted with

34.159
20.834

Sad, best T1 was 2 tenth faster....

Good luck everybody.

 

[GTP_RaceRyder]

Faster T1, Slower T2, can not chain two fast sectors together.

T1: 34.907
T2: 21.461

 

[mcfizzle]

New splits:
T1: 0'34.995
T2: 0'20.964

 

[LeftyWright69]

I don't know if I'll have much time to recapture my old time since my new PS3 is DLing the monster update for GT5 and that will take about 4hrs w/ my DL speed life sukzz when you think that a full PS3 back up will save you from the "reinstall all software" time vacuum.

 

[GTP_RaceRyder]

Sorry to hear about your PS3 Lefty.
