GTP_WRS Week 117: (50) 8 Seconds

[EDK]

Really expensive car. The drive does not justify the price.

23.876

Sorry. I guess at this point in the game with new cars coming, we figure people will get them. (Other than the 20 MM unicorns, of course). The gearbox is weird, but I find the car fun to drive otherwise.

Maybe I'm just weird.

The combo itself is fine, also the car is not bad at all. I am just mad at PD for pricing this car unreasonably high.

Gotcha.

This combo rewards early on the gas, especially in the first and last turns.

The sooner you can pin it, the faster you will be. Of course, you also need to make liberal use of the boundaries.

.005 off optimal.

working on early throttle, without spinning in 1.
Busy week, next will be worse - 45 miles so far.

It's best if you can pin it before the apex in 1.

Fat wide tyres are a lap saver on this car

slightly slower s1 time, good gain at the line.

trying to carry less speed into 1 to get on gas sooner.

probably turning in too soon.

I turn into turn 1 at the second stripe that's under the sign marker on the rumble strips. First sign/stripe is braking, second is turn in. Maybe slightly after, but not much.

I guess it's really the third sign and second stripe for braking, the next for turn in.

You can brake slightly earlier, but the turn in and throttle on point are important.

@EDK’s tips have really helped! I’m very happy with this lap though my optimal is still four hundredths faster!

Turn in at the 50 board? I am trying but that just seems too early. I either cut inner curb or run wide. Can’t get on full throttle until after first curb.

I am going a few tenths slower now in s1.

I am running now, let me look at my lap to see. I start the turn in process at 50, and take that at an angle. I will repost in a minute.

Turn in is probably when the back of the car is at the 50, but the stripe under the 50 sign is my reference for turn in.

 

[tzracer]

Really having trouble making that work. Hit the inner Armco a couple times.

Are you still braking after turn in?

You might be over slowing the car.

I sent this in PSN also, but I opened a lobby if you have time to join. Friends only room.

 

[DerDoc]

I managed to get a couple of clean laps.
Best T1 so far 23.7xx (but screwed this lap (and some more ) later)
I'm still not used to use the red/wht curbs as part of the track
except at the end of the s/f straight

Are you putting most of the car out on the rumble before braking? If not, that's why it's not working as I describe.

That’s all for me. I’m .050 off my optimal. Submitting. Good luck everyone

This was happening to me this morning after reading @EDK’s advice but after 20 or so laps it started to click. I found trying not to think about the turn in too much helps, eventually it happens naturally and you’ll consistently hit the right spot

Thanks EDK and Nerazzurri.

Clean banker.

Still BB -2. Have been improving in last sector but a lot of dirty fast laps.

Thanks to @tzracer for running a bit online today, was fun. 👍

The track limits normally make sense, but for this event they can seem a bit odd.

The over run tarmac makes it so you have to be really aggressive. It makes more sense on tracks lined with grass.

We really just want the limits to be easy to verify, not under the car with 4 wheels on, etc.

Hugo actually used to run with us here, BTW.

Faster but not best s2.

 

[Nerazzurri]

Hit the fastest lap all week this morning and knocked another hundredth off my lap time. Still a couple of hundredths left in T1, but this will probably be my submission.

I bet he was among the fastest here too.....

not sure about this:
can I submit only once per TT ?

You can submit as many times as you need

 

[Nerazzurri]

You can submit as many times as you like, (I think! I always submit a new time every time I beat my previous best time) though the last time submitted will be your official submission. In my post I meant that I don’t think I’ll beat the time I’ve submitted last so it’ll be the one that is used
