Hi Guys ! Now my new wheel is setup, and that race I saw on the livestream boosted my mood for GT6 again I'm back ! Only been nearly a year ?

Welcome back

After another 300 miles;

16.917
37.317

I know I can get at most another .2 off.

New splits

I'm still slow in the final sector....

Anyone up for some racing fun and a couple of beers in about 20 min?

If only these Friday night "drink and drive" sessions weren't at 7am.
Yes I am aware of the Australian stereotype in regards to drinking, but my counter point would be such an Australian wouldn't have been up that early on a Saturday to have begun drinking yet.

Starting to enjoy this combo:tup: After 339 km's

The final turn is a mystery to me
Using doodle's BB of 6/5

Same here with the last turn ...I have no idea whether my time of the last sector is worth something .

New splits. Change BB to higher front bias (5/4).

Upped the BB to 4/3, practicing later but more careful braking.

 

[Tidgney]

Cheers guys !

Was on it for awhile tonight did an absolute monster sector 2 which was a PB lap only to then beat it and check the better run and find out it was only just a dirty lap ! Nevermind! I'll give it another bash tomorrow !

 

[Doodle]

I can't believe I just threw away a 16.7/36.7 because of barely cutting the entry of the final corner. And the lap was nearly .15 quicker than anything else I've run. At least it shows what kind of potential I have here. I have no doubt I can find a 36.6 T2 sooner or later. A real improvement will happen whenever I figure out how to get a fast and clean final sector. I'm too used to running seasonal time trial lines.

 

[8l23ub]

Rubbish final sector

I can get .18 quicker but the splits never add together.

Good to see plenty of people running this combo..and a couple of returnees. Haven't got round to running this (and may not as not sure a 10 or 20 lap run is enough to say I've put in reasonable effort, especially on a track I am not comfortable with anyway due to limited running on it) due to still feeling crappy most of the time, general lack of enthusiasm for GT at the moment and spent most of my time watching various motorsport events (Never realised just how much you can watch on Youtube till recently!!). Will see if I feel like running tomorrow but may just wait till the next combo is released

 

[epic_apri_39]

I've finally managed to put the splits together!

After another 100 miles;

16.831
37.197

 

[Tidgney]

Well had a good hour and a half tonight after the Blancpain race at Silverstone! It's really tough to string this lap together with perfect sectors and I'm still 2 tenths off where I really, really want to be ! Never the less have an improved lap, sectors are;

16.716
36.833

Hopefully I'll get another go!

Edit: Slightly gutted I had checked all the major places where track boundaries are a concern with the above lap then thought I best double check before submitting!! Turns out I go onto the white line in 1 place without touching the inside tarmac which is really annoying as it's a place you don't have to be anywhere near it so must have just relaxed on the lap ! which is the reason I didn't check first time round... nevermind!

I've had another go since and the lap is overall slower but faster first 2 sectors, maybe get chance tomorrow (Later today as it's early morning now ) although a lot of things to do! At least I'm off work!

You might need to post the splits again, to show up on the leaderboard.

Submitted and accepted Good luck everybody

A bad T1 made for much slower splits but the sector times after that were pretty good (for me)
Good luck to all! 👍

Will do cheers, I thought in the past you could do a strike through ! Guess it's been awhile haha!

Here are new splits but a slower lap that will be being submitted reason in quote below splits;

^-- This.

After a lot of laps, really feel like just I cannot do this. Wildly different times when it feels I'm doing the same thing. Then the same time when I try doing different things.

16.855
37.288

There's nearly a whole minute of track after that sector ends. Hopefully I've done OK through that. Have been next to last place for most of this event.

EDIT: Using photo mode I found the outside rear wheel straddles a white line near the end of the lap. They've defined the inside edge of the line as the edge of the track...if it were the outside edge I'd be fine.

Back to the grindstone...

EDIT2: Was +0.1 to my ghost, then +0.150 entering final complex:

16.950
37.383

Came out -0.150 ahead at the line! It was an easily clean lap, too. Will send this in. Many thanks to people who gave encouragement by private message. 👍

EDIT3: Accepted by Fetchy.

Happy with the lap considering the amount off time spent on it

 

[Tidgney]

Currently have a power cut so can't/won't be submitting as I was watching the replay and about to have 1 last go before submitting when it happened!! Was still good fun though and looking forward to the next one!!!

Great to be back racing!!!

Although not so great being sat in the dark with nothing to do !

Hey at least you've got your cell phone
Haven't been back at this since Tuesday, submitting my subpar lap anyway.
Good luck all

 

[J_Starscream]

Submitted and accepted, a good lap apparently so hopefully I get a negative result! Good luck everyone!

 

[8l23ub]

Had a banzai run and scraped six hundredths despite being slower everywhere except the final combination of turns

16.976

Twas fun despite my lap being rubbish
Good luck to all 👍

Awful final sector. I wish I could've found a way to get a fast and clean sector three. Would've made this much easier. Submitting this.

 

[deaconblues82]

Lost half a second in sector two which somehow translated to nine tenths at the line. Just cannot string a full aggressive lap together
