A daily marathon worth of laps.

This is a new one for me, really like it, early stab and looking forward to thrashing around more over the week!

I can count on one hand the number of times I've had faster splits than @Iceman over the years. If you want to go backpacking in Europe this week buddy, I wouldn't stop you!

I'm subbing this one as I obliterated what I thought was my optimal lap.

Feeling a bit sick this evening, so no PS4 for me. Hopefully I'll recover soon, don't want to skip work...or skip the TT

I sure as heck wouldn't pass up a trip to Europe, but no such luck this week !

I'm just being a dirty sandbagger, was too lazy to write down my splits after a night owl session last night. There will be an update after work

I utterly, utterly hate this. I've never been good at Rally in GT.

Initial splits and for all I know these might be the final ones... for me Tokyo was a walk in the park compared to this, the walls are much narrower here!

00.000
28.734
43.372

Exactly my point of view, Tokyo was a 6-lane highway next to this. I have no idea how to drive the dirt...

You turn, but still cruise the direction you've been driving...

00.000

sorry for messing up the results in advance, if it is to much of a bad difference to the overall results, I might consider quitting the Alibubba challenge, as I am sure I won't be much quicker on dirt. Possible +10s on top for D2B driver seems to much of a difference to me... well, this isn't my cup of tea...

But you guys, have fun 👍

Dirt is tricky, here is some advice, slower is faster, if your are turning but still traveling in the same direction your are either going to fast or using too much brake. Using the throttle to control speed is more efficient then trying to use the brakes. Now with all that said I am no expert, that is for sure.

And a NSX Gr.3 for my daily.

Marathon well spent.

Turn into the corners nice & early, less is more with the brakes & throttle control is king 👍

Thanks for tips guys, tried everything, but all I get is more and more frustration. Rally really isn't for me.

Yeah, I know what you mean Miro. I have only had a few clean laps, not fast tho. I'm going to keep trying, cause I don't like giving up. I know slow entry and turn in early have helped me get better control. But, having a hard time carrying speed and not hitting the edges.

Initial splits for the board after 60 miles trial running (including inevitable restarts - plus 30 miles circuit experience). May well continue to use circuit experience to hone my 'skills' (and hopefully time) on each sector given car is fully the same. I know there is a lot more time available from the early optimum-best lap 'gap' and being able to focus on it sector by sector may be a good approach.

Haven't done rallying for a long time so gradually re-learning the techniques - turn earlier than you would think and use throttle control ilo brake plus stay loose with steering wheel grip to encourage smooth turning !

So the GTP WRS events stay interesting to say the least - after Tokyo with the 'thumping' (expansion joints) we now have an event full of creaking and whirring/grinding - hope my newish G29 wheel survives as it sure makes a lot of noise !

I had to drop my torque setting to 4.

I've been running at 2 and finding it hard to do more than a 30 min session. Considering giving the DS4 a try if for no other reason than sparing my wheel (and hands) from all the abuse.

You and me both buddy. I get a clean one so I push harder the next lap and bam... hit something.

No ****ing way!
Identical first split! Tiny improvement on the line. BB -5

Splits from last night:

Going hard at this one, might be my only chance for a good placement for the rat crew given my curiously low handicap. Still some tenths out there to find I think 👍

 

[Never2fast1]

Just ran over 100 laps.....and hit within
.2 of my optimal.

Just knocked 4 seconds of previous best.

Shed .5 off my lap thanks to some coaching from the team captain @Renrag39 👍. Also saw my first ever 27.x T1

I goofed up the splits this week, so we have to add 00.000 as our first splits. I think fetchy will pick up the change soon? If not, just post them again with the zeros first.

Sublime time buddy for reals

And, awesome improvement @Never2fast1 that is the kind of effort that will pay dividends in the TCS.

Wow, Big spread of times on this one!

Looking forward to giving this a go later.

Bit more off my time, just .500 off my next target now.
