GTP_WRS Week 104 : Punters' Paradise

[Nish]

Ok I re-bought the car and got in one very lucky lap lol. Here are my new splits.
T1- 23.011
T2- 58.474

Mostly a T3 improvement, those last 2 corners are still killing me thou.

 

[w-g-e]

Incredibly frustrating session:
T1: 22.704
T2: 57.971

Had a couple of 57.5 and 57.6 T2's but I find it incredibly difficult to not spin the car.

 

[Ali]

T1: 22.459
T2: 57.175

Still feels like I'm going slow around the track.

Getting better and better... 0.250~ faster lap time.

T1: 22.417
T2: 57.166

Hey this is fun! Lost around +0.1 sec in T1 and little less in T3...

T1: 22.509
T2: 57.016

 

[crazytortise]

Jumped in the seat for another stint and ended up being faster after 4 laps. I wont complain about that.

T1: 22.458
T2: 56.925

 

[Andy2125]

And another session result in this small result. Almost 0,300 faster at the line though .

T1: 22.558
T2: 57.802

 

[Aldo]

Not doing too well in this combo...

T1: 22.959
T2: 58.954

Really need to find some time in sector 2 and 3.
Managed to bin a 22.6 T1 and in the same lap a 57.xxx T2.
Frustrated and elated... Frustrated at this combo. Elated at my new Wheelstand Pro which is phenominal!

 

[monoha]

After getting a wheel, I'm competing again, love how it feels :-)

After my first session

22.874
58.672

Hopefully I get time to do some more sessions before deadline

22.913
58.132


monoha 👍

 

[jimantonic]

some reason i thought i was miles off everyone pace in the second sector with a 58.066 but having reviewed peoples times i'm quite happy with that as i had a slide halfway through that sector, and my 22.773 surprised me too, after only 15 laps total - back on it now, got 7 hours till i need to get ready for work so i'd say a good 5 hours practice and 2 hours sleep will do!

EDIT: little more practice and my T2 time is going up but my lap time is coming down............

T1: 22.701
T2: 58.089

Surely should be in bed now!!!

T1: 22.666
T2: 58.043

 

[gtp_wasntme]

Just ran a few laps. First splits.

T1 - 22.699
T2 - 57.931

T1 - 22.625
T2 - 57.747

So much room for improvement. But not much time!

 

[C_Raccoon23]

Heh, it's challenging but I'm enjoying this combo. Gonna try to improve my T2 though.

T1: 22.904
T2: 59.493

T1: 22.703
T2: 58.833

T1: 22.903
T2: 58.666

 

[Nish]

I can't pair up my T1's and T2's, well they are paired up just heading in the wrong direction.... up. my T1 and T2 times keep getting worse while my finish time has dropped about half a second.

 

[Rikson]

New splits after many hours practising last week.
Tiny bit slower in the first,but 0.3 faster overall.
T1:22.603
T2:57.442

Back to you Room 👍

 

[w-g-e]

New splits:
T1: 22.589
T2: 57.540

 

[racingfreak01]

First stint did'nt go that great

T1: 22.722
T2: 58.281

 

[Aldo]

New splits:

T1: 22.939
T2: 58.769

Much quicker overall lap! Kind of happy now...

 

[Blarg-1]

Only marginally quicker T1 and T2 but 0.9 at the line.

T1: 22.885
T2: 58.921

Tried to improve on this but just couldn't get to it. Might have to be my final splits.

 

[Raagentreg]

First Couple of Laps

22.729
58.693

Managed to improve by 3 seconds overall in that time on the track, but I know my T3 isn't strong...

22.983
58.639

Another second off the time, but...

 

[jimantonic]

are there any threads where people are revealing their total lap times yet or is every one keeping them under wraps until the last minute, would be nice to see how my third sector is comparing as i'm not sure if its strong or weak.

We have to wait until the deadline to see everyone's total lap times publicly when the results are posted. Of course, you can discuss them privately with other members who are willing to.

Sorry, my bad, thought i read that we could discuss in other threads, consider my wrists slapped!

 

[LJ]

I just had ago at this, It took me 3 hours to get about 5 clean laps , It's difficult for me to not spin the car lol. Still getting used to not using assists and a steering wheel, It's fun though

23.035
59.561

 

[Nish]

Have new split's and .
T1- 22.845
T2- 58.354

@LJ keep it in 3rd going around the corners and if you must shift down to 2nd once you straighten out. Remember to be kind to the throttle with gradual input's, be sure to not just hammer it as this car will make you pay. If needed just feather the throttle to keep your tires from going into an all out spin. Hope this help's

 

[U.R.]

after too much laps just a small improvement:

23.007
58.899

 

[RenesisEvo]

Finally got a chance to give this one a go. Another great combo 👍

T1 0'22.969
T2 0'58.358

 

[Clutch34]

+1 👍 Good advice, I keep spinning in too low a gear (2nd in this case) if you need to stay on track reliably then this is the easiest way to do it. It does lose you a tadbit of time though is my only problem with it

Now for another few laps

22.951
58.464

Got a bit faster, but boy is the car twitchy at times

 

[DGiant2000]

My advice is ignore 2nd altogether, 3rd will suffice in every bend on this course, it has enough power 👍

 

[Animera]

If punters were forced to drive this car on S2's, I'm pretty sure we would see a lot less of them around!

New splits:

22.416
57.023

Awesome splits there CT! 👍
I'm sure we are going to see another D1 Gold member soon.

thanks,I watched a replay from one of the top ten guys and he was taking the corners in 3rd, so I was doing that but I think i must have been going at much slower speeds than him because i could hardly accelerate
I have been getting a fair few clean (but very conservative) laps in now,getting more of a feel for the car than I usually do but I have to be so careful with the throttle.
i have been changing the force feedback aswell but I cant decide if it is easier with higher resistance or default

I can't help or comment here as I have never raced with any wheel and would hate to just be talking without experience. Maybe another GTPer could help ouy here.
