GTP_WRS Week 14 : 22-B Baker Street

[Eggstor]

STILL can't string together all three sectors at once, but I'm approaching my limits (and the upper bounds of what I put into these timewise)...

14.883
30.716

I've tossed away a few 30.6s as well today.

 

[Senninha_77]

14.772
30.772

First 20 laps..... not sure if I´ll be able to improve until deadline...

 

[AspecBob]

Ran some more laps tonight, not making much progress in T1+2, but gained around 0.4s at the line.

14,609
30,509

Fun combo 👍 Something about it has kept me from getting super frustrated so far, unlike most TTs.

BOB, WHY?!

 

[Bertracer]

Continually distracted by the new seasonals and gt academy every so often, then managed to squeeze in some more on this tt, and not stopping till id improved, eventually finding a decent gain at the line, and better splits over all.

14.638
30.504

 

[Jibatator]

Finally able to string a series of laps together without wall contact all the time. Have seen faster but not on clean laps haha
14.833
30.715

 

[mr_lab_rat]

Gah. Improved by .2 didn't clear the board. The lap wasn't clean. Had another good lap but couldn't save it because it wasn't the fastest.
The good news is that I'm seeing a lot of 14.5s and some 30.4s
It's gonna happen soon

 

[Jibatator]

Just had my first drive ever on this game with a mates wheel at his place!
I must say I am quite addicted to it!

Tried this combo and it was kind of awful for learning! So went back to week 1 and the Audi! So much fun!

Keep pushing. Actually quite want another D3 member to overtake me and force me back on track. Theoretical best sectors could put me top ten, and I've managed to eventually come close to them so far. 👍

Oh, don't do this one with the wheel. The brake release control of the GT40 made a huge difference.

 

[mr_lab_rat]

Ok, here we go. Really weird lap. Missed braking points and apexes.
All three sectors pretty far from personal best but finally some improvement. It bugs me to know that I'm leaving at least .3 in it.

14.570
30.487

Really good T1. Bit of a relief you have similar issues to me in the chicane, lol. Looks like I'm gonna have to put in another session today (yay!). My reference post-it (I love numbers) tells me I can manage around about a 30.24x T2. Might have to pull that off before the deadline. Hope we keep pushing each other.

 

[mr_lab_rat]

I'm pretty sure you still got me. I could probably do 30.3 but that's about it.
I have a bad habit of releasing the brake slowly. That's what I'm gonna work on tomorrow.

 

[ItsAllAboutWins]

Funny how we have had 2 people miss apex and have a better lap. I'll say it could actually help since the car isn't bunny hopping a foot over the curbing.

@BionicDerp funny how i do fairly decent on time trials, yet i do terrible in trl o.o

 

[Combinho]

@mr_lab_rat
Maybe on T2, but I've noticed that both myself and others on this thread are finding tenths on the final sector they didn't realise were available. I'm fairly sure I'm very close to my limit up to T2, after that I've no idea how much I could be leaving on the track. I guess that's all part of the fun of the WRS.

On a side note, I'm so glad my first TT suits me- love 4WD (and FF), especially on streets. Might be a different story with a twitchy MR on Suzuka, lol.

Not in my case. The biggest mistake was in the last turn of the second sector.

I often overshoot that while still in shock at getting through the chicane cleanly.

 

[TayTheDay]

Loving this combo the more I play it. I almost cried when I binned a .135 on the 90 degree left

Since then I turned off the hud and spent about an hour putting in laps in blissful ignorance. ('twas really fun, I might keep playing like that!)

Current best has an ok t1, ok t2 and awesome (I think) t3

14.500
30.233

Can you also turn off the laptime? And the splits?

 

[ItsAllAboutWins]

Can you also turn off the laptime? And the splits?

Nope. I wish. I race with everything off except hud and i don't ever look at my splits .. that being said, i still get nervous when i see it flash blue.

Actually if you disable the hud, i believe it removes the splits and timer too

 

[Rikson]

14.450

1 tenth left for me in T2,don't want to talk about T3...
Propably I'll end up with slower splits,and a faster lap time.

 

[TayTheDay]

Can you also turn off the laptime? And the splits?

Yeah I couldn't see my times/splits. All I had was my ghost line which I was deleting every now and then. I didn't check the main options to see if you could turn off ghosts completely.

Very interesting....I really messed up many laps because I get nervous if I saw a good split...

 

[GTPorsche]

50 more laps put into it today. Slight gain.

I see labrat put in quicker splits over night pushing me out of a d3 podium. @Combinho awesome to see you so competitive, d3 is hotting up
Back to it then

Well, you've been putting more time into the TT's. It's either that, or the League's combos aren't that great.

Equal numbers again....

Enjoyable combo 👍

 

[Johnnypenso]

No time to take another shot at this and heading out of town until Tuesday, so I have to stick with my first attempt. Have a good weekend all
