Hi peeps,

Here's my first splits for the final GT5P WRS I must say it's been a great deal of fun participating in the WRS, I think I joined about half way through, week 40something, but during my time I've improved my driving a massive amount, and made some great online racin' buddies, so a great big 👍 to Kevin and the rest of the OLR team for some great combos, great fun and of course the frustration that gets so intense, you tear your hair out just trying to shave that extra thousandth of a second at the line Cheers guys

Anyway, first splits,

23.260
59.636

 

[Nish]

You know Porsche will get a wheel this week?

Yeah, my wheel is coming very soon.

Very cool how much did it run you? What kind? I tryed to get a DFGT earlier on this year but baby came money left, the end.

 

[Worst_Driver]

Yeah, my wheel is coming very soon.

Good purchase. 👍

You'll see your times will improve when you will be used to your new wheel. I'm speaking from experience and it's way more fun to play with a wheel. You won't regret it that's for sure.

Just a question which wheel you bought ? A fanatec Porsche Wheel ?

Splits from my 1st session.

23.360

Just like old times, eh Kevin?
I'm sure you'll get 4 - 5 tenths on your next session.

Thanks for the WRS combos.

And of course, Sjaak too!

Only just managed to get my first 10 laps in.
The first thing I would like to say is that, for as long as I have been in to cars I have always disliked Ferrari's with a passion. Just the brand as a whole annoys me. I could never figure out why they were so popular.
Having said that though, I can see why this 512BB is so popular! At least driving it on GT5P
I've been having soo much fun in this car & you can really feel when its about to get loose & has AMAZING grip.
Its actually growing on me quiet a lot & by the end of the week it may actually be one of my favourite cars of the game!?

Anyway my first set of times aren't fast at all, like a 23.4xx & 1:01.1xx are my sectors up to now but I haven't got close to my limit, I was just having too much fun xD
Darn you EDK & your poll, I may actually end up liking a Ferrari! 👎

I think my G25 is in worse condition than I thought, I couldn't make any hairpins tonight as the throttle would stay applied around 10% or just blip constantly.

Until I can gather up the balls to actually take the pedals apart and switch potentiometers with the clutch I'm afraid I'm out of this one. I will still submit my time if by Tuesday I haven't sorted this problem out. Even the detailed videos and picture walkthroughs of the pedal fixes online are far too intimidating and confusing for someone as inept with a screwdriver as me.

I feel your pain. Only my shifter broke on my G25. Leaves me with only automatic. Which drives me nuts. Hoping to have a new wheel by end of the week. I also took my pedals apart at one time & it was nerve racking. But it worked.

Thanks to all WRS admin staff & fellow racers. The WRS with GTP has been most beneficial for me & my times. Looking forward to hanging with everyone GT5 style!

 

[L_Hamilton]

First 6 laps. Mighty rusty but still a lot of fun.

But on the other hand keeping a bit throttle is something that really helps to keep the back in check when going through the final section in this car.

Can anyone tell me where I can get some tips for Fuji. I've done lots of laps and I think I've got it about as fast as I can, but it feels like I'm giving up some time on those final turns past the chicane. I'd like to find a video of someone who really rips through those final turns to see if I can gain some time there.

 

[Jump_Ace]

/\ Either search on youtube/google or while in GT5P, look on the online leaderboard for Fuji and watch some top laps there.

[DGiant2000]

First go at the last ever GT5p WRS (hopefully!!!)

T1 - 23.339
T2 - 59.847

 

[Adam41]

I've left some coursework late which is in for Monday so I'll be busy until then. I'll be sure to put in some laps on Monday night. :tup:

Go download GTro_Rootbe's lap from the top 10... clean and fast... if you can match him in the final you'll be doing OK

T2 is really bugging me now... just can't seem to get the line through the 2nd corner and I know I'm losing at least .1 there.

Improved anyway...

T1: 23.106
T2: 59.233

Edit...
Was just looking at the on-line rankings to see where I'd be and noticed...

26 WRSFetchBot Ferrari 512BB '76 1'52.773 S2/S2 2010/11/16 20:30:00

Someone been having a bit of fun?

Sorry for asking a stupid question, but other than youtube how can I download someone elses laps. I've seen it mentioned before, but have never done it. I've tried searching for "download laps" but am no wiser. Can I download any lap on the "top 10" lists?
