GTP_WRS Week 104 : Gladiators!

[Cats_PJs]

21.084
40.367

Finally got a chance to run, and I'm glad I did. This car is a ton of fun, as is the track. Except for that darn chicane of course.

 

[monkeywall]

Finally starting to move down the leader board soon I'll be where I should be one more try on Monday if I can get the time.

@nursemorph don't give up

 

[tarnheld]

Exciting combo, have to give it a go! 👍
The first corners are my nemesis, those outer curbs are giving me a hard time.

21.383
40.983

 

[wahthewalrus]

Another set of laps and I only managed to pick up about half a second. I swear, that chicane is impossible at times!

New splits:
Split 1: 21.621
Split 2: 41.404

 

[SRT DK Racing]

Power: 471 bhp (after changing oil & installing power upgrades)

please change that too only say , after oil change , because offcourse i wasnt awake and checked my PP points , after i installed the powerupgrades

 

[EDK]

Watched some of my replays to find out what I was doing in my best sectors. Managed to come within 0.033 of my prior theoretical best.

21.200
40.600

 

[EDK]

Figures..make some improvement and Fetchy rejects the replay..should have submitted earlier in the week to check

Which setting caused the rejection? I ask because the system is sometimes finicky, and I want to make sure it's not an error.

Done, thanks for pointing it out. 👍

We are prone to copy/paste errors around here.

 

[EDK]

A little more.

[Serialf]

Here is my humble contribution, fruit of an exhaustive but short effort still. My lazyness is growing stronger these cold winter days.

21.756
42.256

 

[StanNz]

Done with this TT. Plenty of T1 at .2 and .3 but always losing the time on the last turn before end of T2. My best lap contains one of my slowest T1s but that's the way it goes sometimes. Final splits
21.764
41.530

 

[Northstar]

I talked myself into one last session today and managed to take off over a second from my previous best. I also achieved my goal of getting into the 41.XXX range.

21.683
41.700

Also, this thing is a blast around the Coliseum corner.

 

[nursemorph]

@monkeywall No worries, I'll keep trying but not sure I can get close to the time I got yesterday as I improved by nearly half a second!

@EDK This one:

Errors:
Transmission1 setting is invalid
Transmission2 setting is invalid
Transmission3 setting is invalid
Transmission4 setting is invalid

I definitely haven't changed anything...changed to a different setting sheet for this event and thought I'd reset every variable just in case but maybe I didn't...I'm sure it's my fault rather than an issue with Fetchy

 

[wahthewalrus]

Another betterment. Not sure if I can go to much faster with just my trusty DS3

Split 1: 21.650 (actually down slightly from my previous best).
Split 2: 41.350

Also:

Can I join the club too?

 

[nursemorph]

@EDK I've resolved the issue now...checked the transmission settings and, when I reset them, they changed to different values so, for whatever reason, I ended up with different values. It now means that I don't hit the rev limiter halfway between the start/finish line and turn 1 and can get higher speed there!!

New split times so that they are accurate..haven't got near my previous times yet, despite having more speed on the straight now as the car is slightly harder to control:

S1: 21.535
S2: 41.318

 

[nursemorph]

Apologies for the double post but wasn't expecting any improvement..turns out I have just done a repeat of yesterday..thought I'd finished then find over 4 tenths! The different gear settings have helped me be faster in the first sector but slower in the last 2 sectors...still am happy enough to have at least matched my time from before if nothing else:

S1: 21.257
S2: 40.907

 

[Cats_PJs]

21.133
40.233

Had a best t1 of .008, and the chicane was fairly conservative on this lap. Still about .2 left but I'm done for the week.

Submitted and accepted. Good luck everyone.

 

[Thematic]

Finally improved, and then by a tenth in S3 alone (rel. to previous submission).

21.370
40.974

I give the front a third. I tried half for a bit, certainly didn't achieve anything then.

 

[wahthewalrus]

I think I'm done with attempts now. I think I can shave more time off, but I can't quite pull it off.

Final splits:

Split 1: 21.590
Split 2: 41.273

 

[EDK]

21.300
40.550

Seeing much better T1s than this, need to tie a lap together.

 

[suprajef]

I'very been trying since the WW and got sector 1 down, been consistent with 21.1xx. But the chicane is killing me now

 

[mcfizzle]

I just submitted my time. I wasn't able to turn any laps the since Friday so that lap will have to due. I feel like I left a couple tenths out there but very happy for first time playing GT6 in a very very long time. Good luck everyone!

 

[nursemorph]

Almost moved onto the next TT figuring I couldn't find any time but glad I didn't...no real improvement to begin with apart from a slightly quicker PB sector 1. Then switched from the 10/0 BB I had been using to an 8/3 one...initially managed to improve the odd sector but started to see higher speeds through the chicane and able to take the left at the end of sector 2 much better. Fastest lap was nearly 2 tenths quicker in sector 2 than I have been to date, , mainly due to the fact that I had a minimum speed of about 114mph through the chicane as opposed to the usual 107 at most..that and being millimetres from the wall on exit (I really thought I'd hit the wall there but it doesn't appear I did):

S1: 21.475
S2: 40.775

 

[monkeywall]

Had a last go can't improve on the last sector even though I've seen some faster T1's and 2's. Good luck eveyone see ya's at the EU race moving on to next week


Edit: got 30mins one last try

 

[EDK]

Have to go back to these, upon closer scrutiny the laps I posted splits for yesterday had wall touches. Not even in the silly kink, one was on the exit of the left hander at the end of the back straight, the other was on the exit of the last left. Did not feel either one while driving, but the car moves a bit on both.

21.244
40.577

Submitted.

 

[monkeywall]

21.167
40.500

only .007 faster could make all the difference. now I'm done

 

[nursemorph]

Managed to find another tenth for a 2 tenths gain today...slightly slower at the split but a PB final sector got me there...less than 3 tenths off my theoretical best overall so not lost too much time:

S1: 21.346
S2: 40.796

 

[PASM]

First splits. Gonna be hard to improve on these I think.

21.066
40.333

 

[suprajef]

21.200
40.467

Horrible t3 so going to practice some more

 

[roamer2629]

At it right now. Been 1 tenth and a half ahead of my ghost many times now. Will keep trying...

 

[roamer2629]

New splits, submitted and accepted in preparation for Banzaiing this later.
