GTP_WRS (GT5) Week 84 : Don't 'Cha Wish Your Ferrari Was Fast Like Me?

[Windy_1238]

I can't get a clean lap either. I never got along with this car nor the Sports tires. Can't wait till next weeks race.

McLaren Orange sticks better than Volcano Orange.

Seriously, it does feel better this time than last time I drove it. Maybe I actually am learning stuff! I'll try to get my splits up later and at least get D4 up on the board.

 

[jack5428]

I like the Mclaren orange as well...reminds me of the Dukes of Hazard car, the General Lee.

31.100
38.418

Seeing some low T1s now, unfortanetly this lap I blew parabolic and barely beat my OT when I shoulda murdered it. I will eventually if I keep running laps, I can feel it coming.

 

[RIP_Welsh_Don]

Improvement, but having seen a number of 30.9's and 37.9's, I really wish I could connect the dots and complete them, lol. Still time

30.958
38.115

Some dots connected, but not a great finish.

31.011
37.870

Nige.

 

[Mamba]

This one is a hard one, still yet to master that first corner

31.699
39.265

Not sure where im going wrong, the car doesnt seem to want to stop in time

Slowly improving, starting to figure out how to handle this car.

31.581
39.176

Small improvements, especially in sector 2,

31.578
39.089



31.325
38.998

Messed up at the parabolica so still a few tenth to get there. Personal best T1 a x.2 so still need to work on sector one, overall I'm getting faster but the car makes this a bit frustrating

Reading that only 2 tires have to be in contact and not 4 like 2 weeks ago helps a bit ;-)

Sign ups for the race are open!

We will be using Sport Soft (S3's) tyres for the race.

 

[Mahnegold]

This time without ABS and a bad Lesmo 2 and Ascari. BB 4/1.

31.543
39.101

I just need to put it all together in one clean lap ;-)

 

[Windy_1238]

Ok, I hope I'm ok with 2 tires on the track in the corners with these splits.

First real good run at this. Not very happy with the current lap I have.

31.636
39.106

 

[jtv90069]

After posting my first splits I have had 4, 25-30 lap sessions and finally have improved my laptime. Was getting frustrated for a while, so I removed all screen data excepting the gear and rev hud and changed to the roof cam, had a very quick run to T2 almost straight away but made a mess of T3 out of shock.
Got this a few laps later, not quite as fast but close and a decent T3 to go with it

Chris, great stuff from you. Need to find someone else to compete against from the looks of it.👍 (Don't have as much time as I used to have either).

Thanks Wes. Not sure how long it will last... the last few combos I've run have been good to me. I have a little more time at the moment which helps too...

Some dots connected, but not a great finish.

Good dots Nige. 👍 Make a new post though mate rather than 'stealth' updates.

Seeing some great sector times too but not stringing it together yet. Best 1st sector 30.878, best 2nd sector 37.832... could be a nice lap if I ever put it together. New best lap for now anyway and, most importantly, very clean... so this will be my banker lap:

31.097
37.907

PB in sector 3 though... Looking for a theoretical 2 tenths but repeating my 3rd sector may be a tall order.

 

[mike_gt3]

Well done guys! 👍

 

[Vagabond]

Thanks Mike. 👍 You going to get another run in do you think?

 

[mike_gt3]

Thanks Mike. 👍 You going to get another run in do you think?

I hope to! , i did some laps or ''attempts to complete a lap'' some minutes ago to at least keep the track in mind for a futur session, but stopped 15 minutes later i couldnt stay focused after 10 minutes im too tired


My only chance will be saturday night hopefully!
I still manage to do a 30,850 though on T1 after playing with brake bias wich is a relief after seeing the splits you guys posted 👍

I remember seeing people posting splits but not submitting, but i was wondering since i posted split if i have to submit? i would like to give my best before submitting if possible but i will submit if i have to no problem.

First try, I've been so slow since the last update.

There's no requirement to submit times, even if you post splits. It's entirely up to you 👍

I'm at 7/8 BB so far. It seems pretty solid, 4/5 was too low for me but didn't seem to make much difference except in the entrance to Ascari. Is there a more ideal setting?

Maybe I should try your method. I've been focusing too much on the time for this combo for some odd reason instead of the track.

I can't look at my split times here while running laps, they are in the absolute worst places.
To keep track of progress I load my ghost but I turn it off and only flick it on/off after lesmos 2, the straight after Ascari and the run to the line.
If I flick it on and don't see the ghost I
If I flick it on and the ghost is in my rearview mirror I blow the next turn

 

[GTPorsche]

Ran a lengthy session without focusing on my splits or lap time. This is what I got.

31.730
38.499

Lost a good amount of time in the first chicane due to overshooting the turn-in a bit.

 

[jack5428]

Didnt run any laps on this combo today. Didnt totally slack off however, instead tried to get into top ten in the new seasonal at this track in a Lambo with no rear wing. Right up my alley after driving the Mclaren.

 

[Speedy6543]

If I flick it on and don't see the ghost I
If I flick it on and the ghost is in my rearview mirror I blow the next turn

I do exactly the same.

 

[Gravitron]

I do exactly the same. Even when running online, when there is no ghost.

 

[Mamba]

I do the same too so I decided its best to quit and start again where there is no ghost to distract me

Went back and did some analysis, fixed parabolica corner, but still not consistent through ascari. And still losing a bit of time in T1, whenever I get a X.2 I end up messing up in the lesmo corners, I think I'm looking too much at my ghost and getting too excited that Im ahead then Im missing my breaking points into the lesmo corners

31.339
38.844

31.264
38.899

31.350
38.726

Better lap, and first sector, now all I need to do is drop about 3 tenths in the middle sector

I think im using 6/7 for this lap, 7/8 seems to work well at the parabolica, but not at some of the other corners

Lost a few in first sector gained a bit in the middle, I'm done for tonight, tomorrow I'll attempt to put the whole lap together

Thx Marc!

Im not sure there is an ideal brake bias, it may work better for one depending the driving style dunno, id say nothing under 5/5 but it is still possible to run good lap under 5/5. i had positive result on 5/5 and 5/6, but i will need to test more, i tried less but i was not comfortable with it i had to brake slightly sooner.

Have a good day!

Splits from my 2nd testing session. Long way to go.

Same here first splits :

32.063
39.670

Edit :

31.775
39.176

31.416
39.309

Have seen 31.2 and 38.x in first sectors, now just need them to nail in one crazy ride

31.480
38.980

 

[Windy_1238]

New splits.
31.494
40.394

31.646
39.761
Can't get any consistency on the 1st chicane. Sliding into it full brakes is the problem. 2nd after Grande is another inconsistent corner.

 

[Racingworld68]

To many hours on track again But it is paying off, found more improvment and 0.5 sec at the finish line. Still more to be found ...

31.184

RW:
Boy, I'll say!! Very nice splits. You should be promoted to Div 3 soon. 👍
