GTP_WRS Week 22 : New ride for Daenerys

[Renrag39]

40 miles of pinball has got me this so far. Just had a play with the gearbox so far.

33.397
35.204

Can the bus stop be taken flat? I just want to know if it's possible!

 

[shoenboggie]

Struggling with this one and the reverse layout.

BB +2 so far and a basic tune. Easily to overdrive this one and in particular the “S” section of sector 2. I’m way faster with full down force.

33.134
34.876

 

[Never2fast1]

First 15 laps with a wheel. I will say that I can see how I will be faster, but boy was a controller easier, but the wheel is so much more fun.

Ran car stock with BB -3

36.728
37.485

Cant wait to improve on these.

I love the bus stop in this direction, for some reason it feels less like playing a game of chicken with the grim reaper... That being said, I'm not trying it without lifting for the time being.

Gave the car a short run with stock settings.

The wheel is way more fun, but like you say, not as easy. I'm still having to run cars that I could manage without traction control on a controller with TCS set to 2.

Yeah it can if you can put a peice of cotton through the eye of a needle at 100mph

Some alien may well prove me wrong but I don't think it's possible to go through completly flat.

I have gone through with just a lift but I was a bit hesitent getting back on the throttle. So far, I've seen my best sector times when I dabbed the brake very slightly just before entry and then powered through at full tilt.

Don't know what happened in sector 2 lost .261 on my first go. If I can find that again I maybe at my limit

 

[ollie57]

Enjoying this combo.. but need to go faster.. tho s2 not's so bad

33.483

[FabAC]

Great combo, but in the wrong way , nah that chicane is awesome also in this layout of course 👍, and that wall is our worst nightmare i think

[Never2fast1]

Did another 15 laps before work, used @dranddad settings. Starting to get the wheel, having pedal is so much more fun than pressing buttons. It is so much easier to trail brake or roll off or on throttle now.

Here our my new times over 5 seconds faster than last night. More to gain.

First small session and stock.

The wheel is way more fun, but like you say, not as easy. I'm still having to run cars that I could manage without traction control on a controller with TCS set to 2.

I am still running ABS weak and TC zero, but I have noticed that the controller is more forgiving with steering, but with a wheel the ability to really control throttle and brake input is a huge advantage. My big issue this morning was that the rear of the car wanted to snap around on braking, never had that problem with the controller, I found trail braking (wasn't good at with controller, easier to do now with 2 feet.) really helped stabilize the car and keep rear end where it belonged. I am sure some tuning changes would also help that.

 

[Windy_1238]

BB -1

 

[munch2112]

10 laps, fully stock, Auto trans, TC 2 and BB 0.

33.467
34.710

I prefer this version of the circuit, can really push it through the chicanes.

The hairpin after the chicane is killing me
Oh.....and some other tight corners further on the track too

 

[MikeyLCR]

A starter to get on the board, some of these curbs aren't as friendly as the last one!!

edit: using @Argon settings, cheers Mike 👍

Initial splits for the board totally stock with BB/TCS at 0 after 100 miles today.........generally 'muscle memory' has adapted fairly well to running in reverse - having run this track as very first one in WRS very much helps as aware of how much the kerbs can be used ; more work needed in S2 as yet to find right line for the fast right-left-right turns so losing some speed there.............

Will be interesting to see how the tuning and gearing affects the car as generally (at my current speed) its pretty stable and responsive already...........

 

[Crispy74]

This combo has that dangerous addictiveness about it!!

I'm absolutely useless at tuning so I'm sure I'll be stealing the tunes that some of you guys have generously posted at some point.

For my first run I used the stock set up...

EDIT...

32.603
34.688

As we're posting liveries too, here's a terrible phone cam snap of my Andrew Jordan BTCC livery.

 

[MikeyLCR]

Ok that livery editor is addictive, you can start out doing something simple and end up on it for hours!

 

[turnupdaheat]

Nice improvement at the line but I have done a .306 in the first sector so hoping to unlock some more time.

I adopted @Argon 's toe and diff settings (thanks Mike, I'm Derek btw) but left the tranny and everything else default.

[Crispy74]

Fetchy doesn't seem to be picking up my updated splits, is that because I overwrote my splits when I updated my original post?

Anyway...

Pretty much the lap time I was looking for but not how I expected to get it. Using @Argon 's df, lsd and toe.

A slight improvement in all sectors, but I've got heaps of time to find yet. Must try harder through the bus stop.

33.692
35.126

 

[Never2fast1]

Slight improvement with @Argon setup with stock tran.

34.999
35.169

@Nerazzurri I think our rivalry is back on. Only .3 behind you.

 

[dranddad]

32.647
34.464

Still loosing .166 in sector 2 from my best go so far.

 

[dranddad]

By Jove I think I found the loss. small tweak to the rear camber much better drive out of the corners. Still tentative through the bus stop even with this soft setup.
