GTP_WRS Week 101 : We Wish You a Sunny Christmas

[NoirAntares]

21.099

BB 3/3

Relaxing combo, pretty easy to get into a good rhythm throughout but difficult to get a really good exit out the second set of corners. Had a lot of fun playing with the braking points on the last corner to see how much I can get away with to get a good run down the main straight.

I won't be able to get some laps done from the 24th to the 26th, so I'll probably just try again right before the deadline.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Do you mean how the whole lap basically comes down to that second combo of turns?

I mean how the car handles. Strange mix of understeer and oversteer. But it's something different so don't take it as a complaint.

I also ran my first laps with 3/3 BB.

Yeah, that's the FF trade off, to some extent. And then the compound stagger I chose, but this seemed to be the best compromise.

Don't worry, was not taking it as a complaint, was more curious what you meant.

The other thing is that I've not had that much wheel time lately, very little in 6 months in reality (on GT).

So I'm probably not as tuned in as I once would have been.

Got a decent third sector this time. That last corner is tricky too, the rumble strips are treacherous while breaking and can push you towards the inside, better brake earlier and set up the car for a late apex. Gained almost 4 tenths at the line.


Merry Christmas to all fellow WRSers!

I have a room open in GTP_WRS right now, testing for the online races. Probably be there up to an hour, then we switch over to the EU Supra race.

 

[mistersafeway]

Getting easier to set decent times.

I used to use 1st gear in 1st sector, but this is much easier, not to mention faster.

I think maybe 1 or 2 tenths to get.

I've seen so many 21.1××/2×× 1st splits.. then get this slower S1 to end up .2×× up at the line.. seems to becoming a bad habit of mine.. how ever I managed to carry a lot of momentem through the double left in S2.. without hitting the barrier.. so must be more time to find.. if I get time..

Happy Xmas to all...

New ones tonight, after a brief session.

I put about 75 miles in tonight and only called it quits as my times were going the wrong way. I managed to take over a second off my previous best so it was good in the end.

Thankfully this is a long weekend so I'll have plenty of time to practice. I may even dig my DFGT out!

 

[mr_lab_rat]

Has anyone else managed to roll the car in the middle sector?

Video, or it didn't happen.

I would guess if you got unlucky and clipped the curb of the second apex that the car could go over quite easily.

Me

 

[mr_lab_rat]

It was on a lap with 21.09 T1

21.117
46.183

Left some time in the final sector again but these should look good on the leaderboard.

 

[ollie57]

At least 5 times.. maybe more.. by clipping the curb

 

[MadMax]

Splits after a 2 hour 15 minute (~250km) session:

20.983
45.900

Brakes 7/5 , shifting up at the rev limiter 95/96 km/h and 140-142 km/h.


After 200km something clicked and I started to chip away big chunks of time in all sectors. (Mainly in sector 2)

I've had slightly faster sectors 1 and 3. A little under 1 tenth left in it for me.

BB 3/7

 

[EDK]

Brakes 7/5 ,

Nice splits. 👍 I was wondering when someone was going to come in here and show us the way.

Hmm, I didn't try front biased brakes. I did run with even bias at first, then changed to rear. But have to admit that my technique in the second set of turns is compromised, will have to try out the front bias.

Yeah me too...

And again.. with proof..

Triend to edit your post to make the pic work, but I am not fidning it on Flickr, even with direct link.

But man, you have some beautiful RL photos on your account.

Thanks.. Flickr changed how to grab image link.. worked it out in the end..

I did an early session today and managed to knock off some time from my best lap yesterday. I than proceeded without saving the lap like and idiot and set a new best with a very dirty lap. Following that I spent about 20 minutes trying to set a better lap that was also clean.

[ollie57]

At last.. got my fastest S1.. but not a vey good S2..
Running with bb 2/8.. I found easier to get round the S1 hairpin ..

That's the trade off. You have to decide where it's important to be fast. OR, adjust your BB on the fly, like an alien.

 

[suprajef]

bb of 7/7 i find the rear end sliding out helps with devil's turn

i can see .3 for me to chop away

 

[GTP_Patrick1]

Was not expecting to find much time , but this lap was almost 2 tenths better.

Edit BB 4 3 ABS 6

 

[E RaK]

Figured out sector 1 more or less. Sloppy through the double left, more tenths to come!

You beat me to it @Andy 0 but thought I would share mine as well.
