GTP_WRS Week 10 : A Scary Rx (Team Trial Challenge Event 2)

[Doodle]

I never run 25 on an FR car. Try dropping it to between 14-19. I haven't driven it yet though.

I've run 50 before.

 

[GranTurismo916]

My feelings right now:

I had a great T1 and T2, just to be ruined by a surprise oversteer.

 

[PASM]

This combo is AWESOME!

40.723
1'31.056

 

[AspecBob]

WE'RE WINNING!

[GTP_Patrick1]

More to get, but so far my best lap. Seeing T1s in the .4s but had best T3 so far.

41.700
1'32.700

 

[mr_lab_rat]

I can't get the car setup so it would allow me to push hard.

 

[mr_lab_rat]

Just to give you something to laugh at. The first go with pretty much stock tune:

42.939
1'35.606

 

[Gravitron]

I really don't want to re-ignite this discussion as it's done but I need to vent anyway....I don't see how the boundary rules for the first chicane make replay checking easier or more consistent. Having run it quite a bit yesterday it's a total S.O.B! The fast line is so close to being dirty that it's taking more time checking than running the darn laps

When the chicanes start to bother you, just take a time-out and go do these fun things.

Jumps!

Resting in the shade

First splits, in love with this combo

I'll be glad to get rid of the DUAL Time trial challenges!!

@Killermiller24 : Thank you for posting a faster time...I was getting worried being the D3 leader there 👍

You will beat me this week, I know it

Thank you for the confidence but I don't see it happening to be honest. Beyond the fact you are a better driver than me, I am slightly handicapped by needing to use auto transmission so will always be behind. That won't stop me trying of course...though you may need to check your RX-7 every day for any signs of tampering

Enjoy your holiday mate

Can't believe you use AT.....I have no excuses left for being slower then? Well, beyond not being as good of course . Please tell me you don't use x/[] buttons for accelerate/brake....at least let me have that excuse? Please?

 

[MisterWeary]

Righty-O...had a bit of a play around with Quicktune and I'm pretty much using the exact settings it spat out (although I did change the suspension level on the spreadsheet to 4 since the track is so flat):

Ride Height : 87 , 87
Spring Rate : 11.30 , 12.76
Damper (Comp) : 8 , 8
Damper (Ext) : 8 , 8
Anti-Roll Bars : 5 , 5
Camber Angle : 0.0 , 0.0
Toe Angle : -0.04 , 0.15
Brake Balance : 5 , 5
LSD : 11 , 24 , 14
Downforce : 15

I created my own transmission, set "Final Gear" to maximum, change "Top Speed" to 260, then set ratios out as follows:
1 : 2.422
2 : 1.863
3 : 1.373
4 : 1.046
5 : 0.834
6 : 0.652

I don't mind how the car drives at the moment but I intend to try removing the wing altogether and also playing with this at some point. For now though this set up gave me the following splits:

41.766
1'33.400

I'm confident there's heaps more for me to gain but after an hour, I'm happy so far 👍

Yes, I use L2 / R2.....thats because Im faster....
thanks for the competitve TT's

Excellent...I still have at least 1 excuse . I tried L2/R2 before but it made my hands ache too much (the best side-effect of painkillers ).

 

[mohitraina91]

Couldn't sleep all night , so came up with these:

40.717
1'31.050

Small mistakes in T1 and 2, nailed T3 though.

 

[GranTurismo916]

It's impossible for me to use L2/R2. X and [] is just the way I started.

 

[Nemo Niente]

Not sure if my previos lap was set to real grip, so here is an amendment.

43.516
97.133

 

[Tuffers86]

42.052
1'33.563

Don't know what I'm doing wrong in T2. What a slog this one is

There were a couple teams that didn't PM me who their driver was, I accepted a couple late entries just this once. If any teams miss the deadline, it will result in 0 pts. for the week. Of course, if you have any questions or want clarification shoot me a PM 👍

You won't have to worry about me this week. I'm not going to have much time to put into this.
After watching some replays of DS3 users I have no idea how you guys do it. In fact I should try it to see how much slower I would be.

So today I bought the RX7. I decided it should have an epic matte color but I only had a light grey one. So I googled which matte color came with which car. So I chose the matte dark grey of the AMG SLS did a few races bought that car with the color and used the color for my RX 7. And the result.... It looks horrible on this car. My eyes hurt every time I even look near the monster. So I spend 215 000 credits on the car paint and it's an abomination so before I'll get to the TT part I'm gonna cry whilst laying in the fetal position under a cold shower sobbing, shivering and thinking of my happy place.

But I'll give the TT a go when I find renewed emotional strength to get over this great depression and hopefully I will be recovered from the severe hypothermia.

On the upside I acquired an AMG SLS which is nice!

Nice one, can't work out the current overall standings. Do we multiply base points by the handicap? So mine was 6x2.25 etc?

Nice one, can't work out the current overall standings. Do we multiply base points by the handicap? So mine was 6x2.25 etc?

We have a handicap multiplier formula (posted in the OP) that we use, it gives a little 'competitive boost' to those with a higher handicap. Here's the breakdown of your points Tuffers using your handicap of 4.076:

(1-0.1*4.076+0.1*4.076^2) = 2.253 (handicap multiplier) * 6 points (event 1 results) = 13.52 total points.

Whereas if we didn't do a handicap multiplier, you would get just 6 total points and if you look at doodlemonoply's total points, it's 25.30 where the 25 points is coming from finishing in 1st place. You gained an extra 7 points or so from the handicap multiplier where doodle gained just .3 points.

Had a couple t2s in the 30's but haven't stuck the landing yet. So much happier than last week.
