It's a good thing this one goes until Thursday. My holiday weekend turned into 'entertain the mother-in-law', so I didn't get any time to run this until yesterday.

She's a slippery beast, but I'm slowly working out my breakpoints. I have at least another .25 in T1 and T2 plus I haven't really gotten the hairpin right, so there's that. My splits so far:

59.975
48.449

Using a modified version of Andrew's tune.👍

 

[Argon]

Small improvement, hope I get some more time on this before the deadline.

Running late on this one last week been a really busy one.. First splits :
59.182
47.590

Nice turnout and good splits all over the board 👍

58.785
47.634

I'm at 361 hp and I do love this combo!! Though I messed up the spoon in the middle of the corner, drove on gravel for some time , would have definitely been a 47.3!!

She's a slippery beast, ...

At first, I thought you were still talking about your mother-in-law...

 

[Nish]

I got a lap almost a full second faster than my posted earlier, about .4xx faster in the splits and went to jump off the track to save the replay... GT5 froze

 

[GTP_Patrick1]

Beat my T1 and T2 time by .5. T3 was about .4 worse than my best, but still .2 better at the line.

58.714
47.274

 

[Argon]

Slower T1 but T2 looking better and 3 tenths up at the line. Not sure if I can find anything else it's hard to string 3 good sectors together.

59.041
47.545

 

[GTP_Patrick1]

Not sure what is different today, but I will take it. I kept looking at all of my settings to make sure they were right, and they were. Still a so so T3, as compared to others I have had. Fetchy does not seem to be picking up strike thrus, at least when I try so I am just reposting in new post.

[CSLACR]

Very unsuccessful the past few days. Almost at full power, but no time gain yet. Can't stop over-driving it, though I think I need to get wonky-doodle heading into turn 1, it's the only place I can see where I'm missing time in sector 1 at the moment. I can see a 47.0 in T2, but not a 58.0 in T1. :/

 

[AspecBob]

I was up 0.4s on my ghost at T1... 4 BLOODY TENTHS! ...messed up ridiculously in the spoon... 🤬

 

[Nish]

Got close to my lost time.

[Mr P]

Well it aint the easiest combo I ever took part in! This sucker has a very twitchy ass mid turn with throttle spent a good few hours on it last night and my best save so far has...

58.116
47.225

I have been slightly faster for each split but need to put them together... I will have some more laps later tonight and see how it goes

Superb splits from the front runners 👍

 

[millross]

I can't keep this thing in the road, my pedals are fit for the bin - going to invest in new ones! CSR standard pedals or CSR elite though? Not sure I'm good enough to need a load cell

 

[eclipsee]

I found some time to give it a proper try, I don't know if I'll find some time tomorrow, this is what I have clean so far:

57.854
46.977

 

[Rikson]

58.575

What a struggle

 

[Eggstor]

I just can't drive this car or this track, especially after several months away from GT5. Oh well; somebody has to be the backmarker.

This is a very tricky combo to push on with anyway, particularly so if you're a bit rusty. Kudos for joining in anyway though. 👍

I managed to get another go in between bouts of GTA V and actually got the car to full power:

58.295
47.222

Lots of time left to find but not likely for me I don't think. I wish I'd put more time in now, its loads of fun (between pounding your head off a table)

 

[gm matthew]

58.136
47.086

Lost 0.25 in T3, most in the last chicane. Spoon wasn't perfect; could have potentially seen a 46.9xx in T2.

Exciting to be mixing it up with some of the aliens

 

[CSLACR]

I have the Elites, from a bundle pack with the Fanatec GT3 RS wheel. I run the load cell on 0/10, any higher and it's literally hard to get 100% brake pressure.
I have to wonder if the "standard" isn't firm enough itself. (I'm not sure the exact differences)

But I do have to say that I love the pedals overall. (only had the dfgt before though)

 

[DigitalBaka]

59.176
48.059

Found a half at the line! Strangely it didn't feel fast. It felt like I was about two seconds slower than I actually was and I wonder now...is that what the aliens feel like? When you set a fast lap are there point where you stress from trying to find hundredths or does it all feel like one smooth ribbon?

 

[Stotty]

58.139

This combo is driving me insane

So far, I have 12 laps all within 0.1 of each other but with T1/T2 splits that vary by 0.3.

I love Suzuka, and normally love mid-engined cars, but the Muira is an evil SOB… It has ‘brake release oversteer’ in to turn 1 and part throttle mid corner understeer and I’ve found it impossible to tune out one without making the other worse.

Turn 1 & Degner

Lots of time left to find but not likely for me I don't think. I wish I'd put more time in now, its loads of fun (between pounding your head off a table)

I know that feeling

 

[Argon]

@Stotty I feel (and have experienced) your frustration

 

[gm matthew]

58.106
47.192

0.23 faster in T3. Lost about 0.1 in the hairpin, but pretty happy with my current lap. Submitting in case I don't get another chance to run.

EDIT - Fetchy's not picking up my splits:

58.106
47.192

 

[DTM]

58.106
47.192

0.233 faster in T3. Lost about 0.1 in the hairpin, but pretty happy with my current lap. Submitting in case I don't get another chance to run.

That is a nice jump on the board 👍 Well done

I will submit with the splits on the board.

Will continue playing a new racing game tonight

 

[Rikson]

58.524
47.367

I'll submit with these splits,pretty much done with this one.
Firing' up #6 tomorrow

 

[Stotty]

I had another session tonight and for a while I was confident I was going to smash my splits... a few 47.9xx at T1 and carried the advantage through T2 only to either run wide in 130r or miss the apex of the Casio and lose it all again

Had enough of this one and will be switching to GT6 tomorrow.

Pretty messy T1 lost 3 tenths there, Really close to my PB T2, and decent T3 although its Down 3 tenths from an alien best I had earlier managed. All in all, I look for 3-4 tenths and I'll be happy..
