GTP_WRS Week 13 : WRS Goes to Hell

[dranddad]

@numbnuts70 I tried one lap and soon went back to the Cayman

 

[andrew1990]

In the 919, is there a KERS button we've got to try to find/ map?

Nope. Auto kicks in up to a certain speed. Around 200kp/h I think.

I'm having an absolute blast driving it round this track. Soooo fast!

 

[MrCooper]

Tried the 911 first, but I decided to go with the Cayman.

Leaderboard is working now.

 

[shoenboggie]

Using the 911 now, feels better over the curbs compared to the Cayman. Tried two laps with each and settled on the 911.

Not my best track...not sure how many runs at this I will get this week.

Had an epiphany to get round my concerns. Came out of in-car cam to roof-cam much better on the eyes.

Really enjoying this car so far, but will give the 911 a few runs and see how I fare. 👍

It's funny, most people tend to like one or the other.

The 911 has a lot more aero grip, but it's more twitchy. I personally prefer to rely on mechanical grip, it helps me know when the car is going to let go.

I find the aero grip of the 911 unpredictable and I end up crashing in weird places.

But some guys say the Cayman is wild and crazy, tougher to drive.

 

[Manuelos]

I'll hop in for a few laps, it's been waaay to long 👍

When pigs fly! So much fun taking this around the Nordschleife! Certainly my favourite combo so far and will be hard to beat. Thanks again to everyone who runs WRS

That's brilliant!

I found my livery - not that patient to make the whole thing!

Is that apple sauce he's pouring in that thing?

 

[EDK]

Is that apple sauce he's pouring in that thing?

Nah, it's gas with some oil added to it. They bypass the whole oil injection thing for the race car and just mix it in the gas.

Rotaries are weird.......

Wow, personally that's the last thing I'd say about the Cayman

I find, the way I drive it anyway, that it's kind of like the "stable" setup of PCARS2, stable but with slight understeer! Although give it the beans on the exit of a corner, say Surtees at Brands GP for example, and it'll throw you into the boonies pretty sharpish

Using the 911. Tc 0. BB 1 to the rear.

 

[Espial]

Had an hour long session today, completed 7 laps, 4 of which were actually clean. I'm gonna stick with the 911 RSR, I've always liked the amount of grip coming out of a corner. It is the mighty Nürburgring though so there is VERY little margin for error...

24.267

I really hate the 24h version, especially the first two turns, I can't really find a good line through there...

I know I can go a couple of seconds faster but it's gonna be hard to string it all together and not make a mistake somewhere.

Both TC and BB at 0.

Happy wrs anniversary.
I chose to brutalise myself in the 919 after stoving the 991 and Cayman into everything immobile. I think I'll learn more using the 919, too.

First clean lap.

Shortshifting everywhere. Not a great lap but clean.
Now going to inject some espresso directly into my carotid!

What’s the Nurburgring lap time in that? 3-4 weeks?

 

[NielsG]

Happy anniversary WRS.

Amazing that the staff keep this fun going year after year. And equally amazing that new and enthusiastic racers seems keeps joining and keeping it all alive.

I first heard about a cool race series at the GTPlanet after participating in my first online series over at GameFAQ's and I immediately headed this way. I joined the WRS in week 42 , so must have been around14 years and 10 weeks ago. Damn time flies, when you're having fun.

First couple of laps in the Cayman:

23.693
28.390

Nice to see you here. 👍

First time since week 14 of GT6, almost a 4 year break.

Sorry, no London on here.

 

[Nerazzurri]

My first times on the board. I know I can do a lot better but I’m extremely proud of this time as this lap & the previous are the only 2 clean laps I’ve ever managed on this track in every racing game I’ve ever played.
RSR Gr3

23.740
27.740
26.619
25.097
48.472
40.635
33.834
56.407
43.619

On the following lap I spun on the first corner & was 10 seconds behind, by the end of the lap I was ahead by 7 seconds so I definitely know I can go a lot faster but it’s time to eat so will have to try again later
