GTP_WRS (GT5) Week 85 : A Tuning Event to Go with the Update

[Vagabond]

Thanks Eddie 👍 Yeah D2 has gone mental...

Great 1st sector Rutter - didn't think it would take you that long to be right up there mate 👍

 

[Cats_PJs]

Frustrated, I have no idea where I'm losing all the time in t1. My best is only .616.

25.879
30.359

 

[Lou8ball]

Had a crazy 1st sector everything went really sweet, but then slowly threw away the advantage in sector 2 and 3, to only make 5 thousandths at the line :-(

T1 25.269
T2 30.366

Still quite pleased with the time, and with over a week left I can hopefully polish the whole lap by the deadline.

[Mamba]

Thanks for the video Chris 👍 its helping a lot

25.747
30.799

Still trying to find time in the second sector not sure where im going wrong there.

25.932
30.585

Small improvement on the lap but lost time in sector 1, need to improve there and hold it to the end

Thank you Chris for the tune and the video. Finally gave up on trying to tune by myself (for now, anyways). I will give other posted tunes a try also.

Thanks Chris, looks like a slightly different line than I was using, I'll give it a try later.

 

[Racingworld68]

New splits :

Not my best first sector, but improvment on my second.

26.127
30.911

 

[NINE_HUNDRED]

Best T1 by quite a way. It got pretty close on the chicane, paused it quite a few times trying to see if I went 3 wheels off but it seems ok. T2 I know I can go into the .4xx.

25.477
30.640

 

[Brinomial]

I still can't figure out T2 at all but the other two sectors are slowly improving.

25.543
30.960

 

[ConRollins]

Can't get a combined decent sector lap to save my life, so I'll just post these for now and hope I can drastically improve tomorrow:

25.637
30.354

 

[GTPorsche]

This is what I have so far. 344hp, and I'm struggling to find a setup I like. Not my favorite track either.

25.655
30.839

Jack, you are killing that T1. 👍

Thanks for double-checking your settings, because that is crazy.

Thanks Lucas, It definitly is crazy and that ghost isnt much fun chasing. Beats me to t1 sometimes pretty harshly, other times not by much but always beats me to T1. haha

Crazy 1st sector time Jack. 👍 I've only seen 2x .2 through sector 1 but they were both dirty... Maybe before the end of the week....

You take T2 so well Chris. If your T3 is that kind of caliber you dont need a faster T1.

T1 25.269

Enjoy that T1 redtime Louis, nice job.👍

Good to see you in for the week Jack . Haven't battled for awhile with ya. Or should I say, Lost to you by hundredths or even thousanths in T3.

Always found it enjoyable the weeks weve done together. Might get the top spot in D2 for awhile on the splitsboard but can be sure I wont be there for long.

Nice new splits by the way. I tried to get to T2 quicker but came up dry today. I did set a new PB thru T3. If you went that quick thru T3 Im in trouble.

Awsome splits again Mike, not sure if I will be able to level up to that 👍

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

It's a strange combo. Whenever I feel I've done a really good, smooth T1 it's a 26, but when I rag the hell out of it I'm .5 up.

Nothing special , just a better sector 3. Can't find the right point. Come back on it later.

Have a good sunday everybody.

 

[Lou8ball]

Enjoy that T1 redtime Louis, nice job.👍

Cheers Jack. Im quite surprised I managed it. But my third sector is poor. I nearly beat my lap time with a 55.85x after the splits. So I still need some work over the week to get a better time.

I've tried every combination for the suspension now, and I can't find much difference. Even running max springs front and rear seems to be quite similar.

I think from now on, I might just try and stick with a tune instead of tweaking it, and treat the remaining time as an arcade week, and just try and perfect my lines, as I think like someone already mentioned different tunes suit different sectors.

 

[Racingworld68]

At full power now, improvment on both sectors.

[NINE_HUNDRED]

Awsome splits again Mike, not sure if I will be able to level up to that 👍

Thanks, Frank Though, I've just gone a bit faster

My heart was going when I saw I was ahead of the ghost, praying I didn't mess it up. .001 slower in T1 (but a lot cleaner this time) and over a tenth in T2.

I swear I'm not cheating I just think this track suits the DS3 quite well.

When you look at the leaderboard it is obvious it is suiting the DS3... (Jake and Lou are very close to the top position !) Nevertheless very nice splits again !!

But I feel I am not on my limit neither, will give it another go tonight 👍

Slightly better T1 but not T2

Going the right way.

 

[Racingworld68]

These are the splits off my current best lap :

25.871
30.753

 

[Lou8ball]

Slightly slower by a few thousandths to the end of sector 2, but had a more tidy final sector.

T1 25.398
T2 30.242

Hopefully find half a tenth still by the end of the 2nd sector, and another half tenth over the final sector.

 

[Vagabond]

I swear I'm not cheating

Absolutely epic effort this week Mike. Fantastic mate. 👍

This epic battle in D2 is still making me nervous... and Rutter is hot on my tail so still pushing. I was happy with my time but with a possible 0.15 available up to T2 I decided to do some shaving and then found another tenth in sector 3. Still have to tie it all together at some point but managed a minute improvement at the line with these splits:

25.335
30.136

I think I'll be happy to knock another tenth off the lap but this isn't a week to relax is it?

 

[EDK]

Well, I figured I would throw my hat in the middle of this D2 battle. Been working on a tune and breaking the car in for the last couple of days.

Here are my splits.

25.535
30.417

And here's my tune. I've changed it since the hotlap, but just could not string one together. I still think it's ultimately faster than the one I set the hotlap with. Certainly more stable.

RH -15/10
Springs 13.0/18.0
Dampe Ext 4/5
Damp Comp 6/8
ARB 6/4
Camber 2.5/0.8
To 0.00/-0.12

LSD 7/28/12

Aero = Max

BB 3/3

Transmission

Final Far Right

Top Speed Far Left

Set

2743
2191
1754
1453
1234
1052

Final = 4050

I'm liking the new tuning physics. This car likes subtle adjustments, which I think is nice for this first tuning combo of the new update.

Hey EDK, just thought I'd stop by and say "hi" and too see how everyone is doing. I don't have a way to submit replays yet but I've been doing these events anyway on my own just to practice and to keep improving my skill level, always aiming for the D1 times. Miss officially competing with you guys and hopefully I'll get a computer/laptop soon. Keep up the great work guys and look forward to competing again. Peace.

Glad to see you are still around Mitch. Keeping up with the Time Trials is great. When you get your computer, it will be nice to see your times posted on the board. Keep on truckin'
