GTP_WRS (GT5) Week 97 : The RUF Cup

[Racingworld68]

This car keeps picking up time or me. Just when I think I'm close to my limits, I tweak a couple things and I'm going faster still.

37.985
28.146
29.896

Wow man, these are impressive div 3 splits, welldone 👍

Found the speed in T1 with Chris's tune 👍

Still left time in each sector..

Nice one Dan 👍 I'd best be watching my rear now then eh. Eat some more mince pies and have a lie down mate.

 

[Hyper-Dan]

Heh, I think your pretty safe for now.. I keep getting nice .5 T1's now, only to ruin the lap in one place or another shortly afterwards.

Frustrating but fun

👍

Anyone willing to post a T1 video??

Wow man, these are impressive div 3 splits, welldone 👍

Thanks, sometimes a combo just clicks for me. I got called out on it a few months ago when I was just starting because I had such improvement over my first few weeks. But of course the week is still young and I don't think everyone has given it a fair shake with the holidays so I'm sure my splits will be caught as we move closer to the end.

I'm using a tweaked version of Vagabond's tune (sorry, I'm terrible with names and I'm still learning but I don't want to get names wrong) to fit myself. I was working out my own tune and have thrown some parts of it into this one and it works well for me.

First stab in the dark:

37.983
28.069
29.912

 

[Hyper-Dan]

Damn, Went slightly faster overall but with a weak T1..

37.741
27.834
29.655

 

[transamguy]

After second 100 miles. Forcing myself to do full laps no matter how far behind I am. Tired of blowing good splits in T4

37.818
27.994
29.926

 

[Windy_1238]

New splits, better all around times with a 1 sec faster OT.
38.650
28.445
30.661
T1 is still getting the best (worst) of me.

Yeah I should have time to do a quick one after tea.

Damn, Went slightly faster overall but with a weak T1..

Plenty of time to tidy that up Dan - I can already sense the battle heating up. Baron and transamguy not too far off pace at this point either. Nice going guys. 👍

I tried green with red wheels...

..and its faster through sectors 1 and 3

37.419
27.824
29.735

Locked up and went wide at the hairpin in sector 2 and braked a bit late for the final chicane so still tidying up to do. I think I quite like this car.

 

[Hyper-Dan]

Smoking T1 Chris.. Taking it to another level.

 

[Cats_PJs]

Locked up and went wide at the hairpin in sector 2.

Are you staying in tight to the curb through there? I'm kind of going in wide with a late apex.

Nice splits by the way.

Edit : Actually, it may not matter too much because my setup handles quite different from yours.

Thanks Dan - I may have peaked too early there though and now I'm back to 37.5s and the odd high .4
Not nailing sector 2 as well now either but got sector 3 sorted at last. Just need to put them all together - aint that always the real trick...

37.491
27.854
29.625

Not a bad run to the line I don't think so looking for about 0.25 on the lap (I think) mostly the 0.2 in sector 2.

Are you staying in tight to the curb through there? I'm kind of going in wide with a late apex.

Nice splits by the way.

Thanks Baron 👍 For the hairpin, I'm coming in tight, running wide with a bit of trail braking, then coming in tight again for the exit on full throttle.

Edit - New splits:

37.557
27.652
29.561

3rd sector was a complete surprise... still looking for a tenth or so in sector 1 but its going to be tough holding it for the whole lap. That might be me done.

Thanks for the tune, Chris, it seems to help quite a bit!

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

Thanks and yes, the new CRS Elite Wheel and Pedals seem to be working their magic. Adds a whole new feel to the game and allows you to be much more precise with your driving. Really helps take your game to the next level.

 

[Hyper-Dan]

Very nice Chris.. You're flying 👍

Hey Kreezy,

Welcome ! You might want to try Vagabond's tune on page 3. These guys are great at helping out with the tunes they are using. Driving style doesn't always match, but it's a good start and worth a try. Good luck

 

[kreezydoed]

when i double checked my settings i saw that the car has 548BHP and 556PP?

(oil changed)

am i doing something wrong?

I think you use pk and the op uses bhp.
Pk is always a larger number.

Ok, thanks a lot!

Used some google links and 540bhp=548pk 👍

 

[Vagabond]

Very nice Chris.. You're flying 👍

Thanks mate. 👍 To be honest though, I have no idea how, particularly in sector 3... I even checked to make sure I was running the right specs and not using SRF. 💡

Made a couple of small changes to setup:

Turns in a bit easier but be careful on corner entry or the rear will break away. Slightly better traction in the exits too.

37.406
27.765
29.451

Best 1st sector so far, lost a tenth in sector 2, and a tenth faster than any previous 3rd sector. Also lost a tenth in sector 4 because I didn't want to bin it, so in theory there's another 2 tenths out there.

Oh and here's a sector 1 vid:

[w-g-e]

Thanks for that video Chris, you make it look so damn easy.

My best T1 is a high .6 and didn't even want to compare the other sectors.

 

[Vagabond]

Thanks for that video Chris, you make it look so damn easy.

Thanks Wes - I usually think exactly that watching your replays.
