GTP_WRS (GT5) Week 76 : The Grip Meister

[Allibubba99]

Third session, I am leaving at least 2 seconds out there. I have splashes of oneness with this car and the track but I can't string it together. I will keep trying...

My splits so far, only ran 3 laps then gave up for day after hitting the green barrier on turn two trying to squeeze in as much time as possible. There's still a lot of room for improvement

Damn DTM car, i love them. But haven't had enough time this week If it was a normal track, i would have made some time. But on this track i need a week vacation to be competitive.

Good luck everybody

[sam_i_am]

Had a long session and could see a lot of places where I could improve. Finally managed a good run which was about 6 sec better overall. Once I went back, I noticed that I had dropped about 13 HP. Hate the oil change. It was cute the first few times, but now it juts an annoyance that I can do without in a video game. Oh well, will submit this for now and try again tomorrow to see if I can do better.

Just to break the tie with Stephen. I guess I'm more streamlined without hair

[GTPorsche]

Not sure how much more time I'll have to run this combo. I've only done 2 sessions which isn't nearly how much time I put into a combo, but since I have splits on the board, I'll submit whichever lap I end up with before the deadline.

 

[Ealirendur]

This one was a bit of a hair-raising, or in Ron parlance, hair-inflaming experience. Bit rollercoasterish, in that a few gains were lost, and nearly lost it completely, but it's definitely better over all.

For some reason, once I've got past sector 7-8 or so cleanly, I generally bring it home, which probably means I need to be less conservative . Getting there, on the other hand....

 

[MilleRSVR]

I hope you mean 4th clean lap Ren.

Very slight improvement at T9, better OA.

Is it just me, or does this car need better brakes. Feels like it has passenger car brakes on the thing. I'm constantly blowing right past my braking points.

Finding it very hard to finish off a clean lap, I've left at least 3/4 of second out there.

Never going to catch you Ren, your flying out there.

4th completed lap, or clean - same thing so far. Quite a few attempts, but there's still only 4 times on my board; all four have been clean when checked. I've been trying to do more but shorter sessions on this one.

It's probably bad methodology, but when I crash, I restart. When I red-flag, I give myself permission to drive outrageously (which has so far resulted in me crashing at some point). When I make dumb mistakes, or am getting sufficiently far behind (>1sec), I give myself increasingly broad permission to experiment, especially with type 1 corners. This tends to result in a red flag or a crash, or getting further behind, but more info.

I should probably drive safely up to a few particular corners to experiment, but I haven't gotten that far yet.

EDIT: .... aaannnd lap 5 seems to have a barely discernible wall touch just before the Nordscheife entry. Ah, well, faster ghost.

 

[Vinal]

1st few laps with my wheel.

Hopefully get some more time before deadline.

 

[n0iZe83]

Probably last splits for me, almost got another 2 seconds on the line:

21.040
25.825
26.997
18.993
39.836
30.089
25.942
44.521
34.012

I find this combo so great, this car is right to have the title "The Grip Meister".
In some corners it's just amazing and blazing fast.

Really looking forward to the Online event of this one.

That makes me feel a little better. Still no where near your times though.

I think I discovered my braking issue. Seems my load cell is dying (again). Usually they just quit working suddenly, but this one appears to be dying a slow death. Gradually losing braking force, or suddenly very little brakes. This was driving me crazy on the Ring. I would have a better lap going, and suddenly I would lose some of the brakes and go wide off the track entering corners.

I'll give it another go tomorrow, good thing I bought a spare.

Where is a list of message syntax acceptable for Fetchbot?
i.e, remove entry, etc.

 

[Speedy6543]

Where is a list of message syntax acceptable for Fetchbot?
i.e, remove entry, etc.

• Users can ask the bot for the current submitted time by sending a message with the body: "get entry"
• Users can delete their submitted time by sending a message with the body of "remove entry".

This is it. It's all there is.
You can find it in every week's OP

 

[gman1647]

Just submitted my time. Hoping that I get to do a few more laps tonight. I didn't have as much time to spend this week, which is not a good week for that to happen.

 

[Usual Suspect]

Sorry to drop again from this week

Last thursday, as i kept crashing on the Ring tryed the online TT and suddenly i was first place and got sucked in
(GTP up there )

Leaving to much on track to submit with my time.

Good luck to all

 

[MilleRSVR]

Latest splits,

A little improvement after changing out the brake load cell. Still left some time out there. Calling it a day now, more laps tomorrow.

What about the current time entry? I saw it in a post but can't remember the verbiage.
Forget it

 

[mike_gt3]

Just got back from holidays, thx Hydro for letting me know about this week event , unfortunatly i wont be able to run as much as i would, had a 1st quick session today to get used of the car, unfortunalty i'll be away from the PS3 again tomorow.

I have a decent run for the time spent, but nothing worth posting unless im sure i can try again, James you have a really good pace on this one 👍

im half a second behind at the last split, i see some area i can improve but it will require more time to nail the entire lap at that pace.

The pace is also very good in D2!

Heres the tune i used if anyone want to give it a try.
Using Kev's gearing 👍

Suspension:
ride height: 10/-13
spring rate: 17.0/13.6
extension: 8/8
compression: 8/7
ARB: 5/4
Camber: 1.8/1.0
toe: 0.00/0.00

Diff
initial: 10
accel: 17
decel: 19

full aero

Brake bias: 5/6 if too much use 4/5 or 5/5

Ballast
10kg set to 50(complete right)
that helped the car carrying more speed through the turns without sacrifying too much the power.

I used Kev's gearing, it was well suited

Good luck all.

 

[Allibubba99]

I don't think I have any left in me. I think I left a second on the track but I don't think I will ever be smooth enough to grab it! Thanks for the tune Kevin! Come on D4 still about 24 hours left in this challenge!
