GTP_WRS Week 109 : I'm a Real Daytona Fan

[mr_lab_rat]

I was wondering if there is a one game suspension, hope not.

Nah, you are ok. DQs happen, it was not intentional.

Glad you mentioned that...I forgot that Rigidity wasn't allowed and I already had it installed before the week started (though only noticed it yesterday when I had to do a chassis restore) and Fetchy has been happily accepting my laps all week so I figured everything was fine...didn't realise he can't check for rigidity. Am surprised it isn't in the event rules each week as a recurring point given new drivers wouldn't know it isn't allowed (much like I'd forgotten but would have realised if it was written in the event info)...just a thought. Guess I'll be buying a new car or just skipping the event..haven't decided yet

 

[Gravitron]

Thanks guys for keeping that sucker legal. @Mr P @nursemorph

And welcome back @LeftyWright69

@J_Starscream - you're screaming fast.

Oh no.

I'll have to as well, I didn't realise I've done it after doing the seasonal a few times. I'm over 1000kms in the car so it had to be upgraded (plus, it was cheaper).

EDIT: Just logged on to find that the 2J I used didn't have body rigidity upgrade on. I remember I bought a new one for this event.

 

[J_Starscream]

I'm playing it safe from DQ. I've bought a new car and ran again, these are my new splits:

23.017
42.450
54.167

 

[nursemorph]

New car minus the rigidity upgrade:

S1: 23.427
S2: 43.093
S3: 54.960

I did not know about it . I will check mine

 

[J_Starscream]

Here comes the wave of new times because people have forgotten they've performed a rigidity upgrade!

 

[nursemorph]

Yep..it is always illegal to have chassis rigidity installed for every event. As I said earlier, I'm surprised it isn't in the info at the beginning of every event as, clearly, not everybody knows about this rule

It's going to be bolded, underlined and marked in red from now on lol.

Had to lift in the left hander at the start of t2. Also missed pretty bad on the entrance to the bus stop, but did get a good exit. Still looking for a couple tenths on the lap.

Changed the anti roll bars to 7/7 per @nursemorph suggestion. 👍

 

[epic_apri_39]

Had a half hour run, I can't improve.

 

[SRT DK Racing]

Fetchy dont react/send back iff one`s lap is accepted or not ?

 

[Gravitron]

Give him 15min, if he doesn't respond then try again, then add me to the convo and I'll check it out.

[Derek Morten]

New times without rigidity! Lol

23:611
43:594
55:461

 

[JCH8r]

I have no idea how to check if I've added rigidity, so I just bought a new car. How do you know, is your PP too high?

23.119
42.453

If you do the oil change like you should normally, you will notice one of the options is to Improve Body Rigidity and if you see that installed your car is illegal if you do NOT see that installed your car is legal

 

[wahthewalrus]

I went ahead and submitted my previous time. I'm not sure how on Earth I set the time I did earlier in the week, but I can't seem to come close to that now.

 

[epic_apri_39]

I am allowed to set my nationality to something that isn't my actual nationality, right?

Thanks. Somewhere along the line I got convinced improved body rigidity was useless or worse (like camber) so I've rarely messed with it.

Same here, especially with Group Cs

 

[schmues_hh]

Second run today and I have spent more time with finding the right settings as with the car on the track
I 'm now going with Praianos tune (http://praianogt6tunes.blogspot.de/2013/12/chaparral-2j-special-chriss-tune-70.html?m=1) and using @Cats_PJs settings for the Gearbox, LSD and BB. I have seen some low 54.3xx but I lost every time up to 4 tenths at the entry to the Bus-Stop.
Best lap time so far:

23.099
42.708
54.400

 

[Mr P]

22.818
42.085
53.818

Yet another bad last section for me.. still about .3 up for grabs with my best splits and good speed outta the damn bus stop

Good luck to all still running 👍

Yes, we had a moderator who had his site nationality as Antarctica.

Then I guess I'm the only 'Icelandic' in GTP WRS 👍
