GTP_WRS Week 168 : Poor Man's 787B

[SRT DK Racing]

Yes, those comments will always be from the person who posts the thread, unless otherwise noted.

Ty for your answer , when I read your words around the car and what happened to your lap last time this event took place , so would I believe you wanted to run this event now that it's one of your favorite cars and all , but it can of course still be reached

Right, I do want to run the event, but am not sure if I will end up having time.

I have the Beta, and spent a whole bunch of time (probably 8 hours since last Friday) getting my wheel working with the PS4 (I have Fanatec and had to set up a GIMX, it was complicated).

I finally got that working last night, and now am conflicted between GT Sport and this. And I know for sure I want to run next week's combo in the Ferrari, so this one may not happen.

As for the DQ and when I ran the car before, that was a LONG time ago, it was GT 4 and only the 10th WRS event I ever ran. That thread will be 10 years old in August.

It would be quit simple for me to choose what to do , GT SPORT BETA

Hmm, I wonder if it's the right choice to rush for a BETA knowing that the FULL game will come and you will play it for years together with your friends / club / community?

PS4 is by far better for community if you have at most 8 friends lol

On the other hand 💡. If PD are going to listen and response to feedback of people in those clubs/communities, which make the game a better experience for all when it does come out :tup:. I'm sure a balance can be found somewhere good friend .

Speaking of which, work/life/GT balance is way out of sync . I see you made some nice improvements there 👍. I hope to get some good wheel time over the weekend, I'm coming to get you .

Indeed, the balance and the amount (the measurement) of everything is the key for a good life. Always hard to get it right.

Come and get me, my good friend, that's what I wish. 👍

Always hard to get it right.

True indeed . And a comment, fitting to this combo too it is

Don't worry, I am not abandoning you guys, nor are the other mods who have the beta.

For me, TT participation is ALWAYS and matter of balance, I simply can't run them every week. Remember that I have to commit a lot of time to setting up the event, and I do have a life besides this.

And generally, if I start out the week behind, I will not catch up. I spent all my TT time this week getting my (very expensive) wheel working with the PS4. A feature that was advertised for the product I purchased 2 years ago, and then rescinded by the manufacturer when Sony threatened action against them and made it part of a negotiation for a long term "official" wheel agreement.

Next week, we are using the Ferrari 250 GTO, and I adore the combo that I came up with for it. So I plan to conserve my time and energy for that.

After 5 laps, 3 valid, my best by far was:

53.241
1:36.291

It's a great car for DS3 around 580pp tuned, which we can't do here. RM tyres tend to be very DS3 friendly.

Huge camber 1.5 3.5 and harder front springs, plus massive toe -0.50 +1.00 make this very unfriendly for DS3.

LSD 10 40 20 just adds insult to injury!

Looking in the bright side, the gearbox and aesthetic is perfect for this track - my favourite version of Suzuka.

So my T1 increased by about tenth, and T2 decreased by about a tenth. Such magic is possible only with a noob behind the wheel 👍

Don't worry. Keep the way, enjoy what you do. 👍 The satisfaction will follow.

Thanks a lot to you and all the people that make this happen every week
As long as I can do "our" TT's I really am not too anxious about GTSport. I still dont have a PS4 and will only change the wheel when needed.

I need to improve because there's one small moment there that may call for a Hawkeye review .

Yes, same time.

I moved the thread into public view right now. I think the fuel and tire consumption might be TBD, but I believe fast is where we were going with it. Also not sure about laps.

Also, no need to explain your actions to us.
