So after my son Ayrton was born a year and a half ago I disappeared from the WRS. Life has flown by and now I think it's high time to get behind the wheel and enter a WRS and see what kind of rust I've accumulated! I did manage a 1:32.844 in the GT Academy final which was good for 63rd overall in Canada so I figure I ain't lost too much speed. :sly:

Welcome back, great name you have chosen for your son 👍 And so happy to see another fellow div4 driver. Good luck.

Welcome back! I too took a little break after little one was born.

Nice improvement after work.

Was about to give up for the session, then out of nowhere made half a second at the line.

T1 25.460
T2 30.402

At 351hp now.
 
Darn, a bunch of you D4silver guys have moved on up! Guess I need to make some time to play instead of just studying and working on my house all the time...
 
Love this car,

Probably a silly question, Is there an easier way to get the splits than going to the Replay Theater?

I replay it right in the event, before you run another lap.
 
I suspect I'm missing something. Maybe it's the track or perhaps the car but I cannot get my T2 under 31 seconds. Of course once I do, I won't be able to repeat my T1...that seems to be the way it goes with me the last few weeks.

Hey guys! Been a long time since I last ran a WRS...
It certainly has been a while mate. Nice to see you back in for a run. :cheers:
Chris, great tune, and it don't look prissy (with it's nose in the air)
Thanks Lucas. 👍 Sorry for forgetting the mantra... but yes, this is one of those that responds well to merciless thrashing. :P

Great going Lou, particularly with a DS3 👍

New splits...

25.367
30.178

Not maximising the last sector yet... a bit cautious just to get it to the line. I reckon I'm about at my limit through the first 2 sectors so time to push it to the edge to see what I can squeeze out. Great car and a real good thrash round here. :)
 
I had a quick go at this in stock trim and not broken in testing my new rig, and it is an awesome combo. Maybe I can find some time on Monday to tinker with it :)

You will have a full week still after Monday, just in case you didn't notice the end date. Oct 8th.

Ah man! Chasing a dirty ghost who crushes T3. I do a T1 and T2 that put me 7 thousandths behind Louis/Lou8ball in D2 at T2 and well in front of my dirty ghost.

I didnt beat my dirty ghost to the line!

Lost by 14 thousands. Laps all clean and everything but cant save the ghost replay.

Dont you just hate when that happens?:lol:



Edit: Got that dirty ghost by half a tenth. The little victories are sometimes the sweetest.

If you start a new session you can save a slower time. Just leave practice and re-enter, sorry for telling you too late though.

NineHundred. I cannot see how you do so well with DS3, Kudos! I got up to 412 hp and got a lot better time. Timing through the chicanes and a better line in the roundabout, does the trick! Anyone want my tune? I am not a tuner, but it suits my driving style.
changed to correct stage 3 screw up!

RaceRyder Im currently at 352HP. I dont know what max HP is but think I might be at it now.

I mention it mostly because your T2 now is as quick as Chris thru T2.:)

Edit: Dale did you add the stage 3 engine upgrade to your car? If I were to add it to mine I would have 414HP. The stage 3 upgrade isnt allowed this week. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news if your running a stage 3 but better than an accidental red flag my friend.

I will try youre setup later, but are you sure you have 412 Hp, I guess that would not be correct as the OP says 346HP. At the moment you would be the fastest in sector 2 !?

Nice to see you back, never had the opportunity to thank you for the dozen tunes from your hand I have been using 👍 Thanks.

Btw : It also looks like you kind of forgot how to put your sector times, fletchy will not pick up these :)

It was actually the tune messing it up. I think fetchy will still take this format.

I edited that first and still could not force it to pick up splits, so I put his tune in quotes (like I do for my own, normally) and it grabbed the splits right away.

Thanks for solving the problem.
