GTP_WRS Week 26 : Mazda is as Mazda Does

[GTP_CargoRatt]

He just meant that people illegitamately get pissed off in response to some of your posts. EDK said folks respond to him in a similar manner at times. Intent is difficult. I'm a jerk all the time.

Come on, Mitch. Don't drive angry! This a community of brothers. And brother's don't shake hands, brother's gotta hug.

You expect me to be happy that he posted in a negative way towards my character. There was no reason for him to even make that post. Its off-topic and just another negative attack on my character. I mean, everyone here knows that I'm not a good people person (I am trying though), that's no secret, so he didn't need to state the obvious. Furthermore, who really did I piss off? EDK said he wasn't mad and we already sorted my issue out that I had. I went out of my way to try to ensure lab_rat that it was nothing personal towards him, so I hope he's not the one mad. I mean, come on, it was just a simple request that I had and now we have this, which I suppose is also my fault. At any rate, I'll just stick to posting my splits and leave it at that, I'm sure it will save everyone the headaches.

It was an oddly worded post, but he didnt attack your character.

You cannot control the reactions of others to your posts. You can only control the content. If your conscience is good with regards to your posts, then let it ride. Don't take yourself too seriously.

I agree it's off topic and I will send you a personal message.
Probably the funniest thing in this is that I was not offended by your original post at all. In fact I'm glad you brought it up as it helped to clear up the track boundaries.

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

Its all good guys, just best to let it go. Thanks for the kind post and advice @crowhop its appreciated. 👍 Lets just move on and post splits.

@mr_lab_rat No personal message is needed.

Good deal!


By the way, are you faster than me yet??

 

[MisterWeary]

In your saved replay the falling marker(s) should be standing up...

I've just had another session and I keep restarting when I see that #3 marker fallen over??? @Gravitron are you saying that even though it looks fallen over in the game that when you save the replay it won't be fallen over or are you saying that fallen markers in a replay will count as a dirty lap? I'm just not sure whether to keep restarting when I see that paddle fallen over? I've scrutinised my submitted lap and there are no paddles fallen over but I'd hate to hit a clean fast lap that had a paddle fallen over from a previous lap?

Anyway, regarding my latest session, I've been trying with some TCS and it makes it easier to accelerate out of the tight turns but it hinders down the corkscrew and exiting some of the faster turns on the limit. I did hit a .4 at T3 but my ghost nailed Sector 4 and even 2 tenths advantage at T3 wasn't enough to keep him (me?!?) at bay!

 

[Gravitron]

I'm saying "even though it looks fallen over in the game that when you save the replay it won't be fallen over", and in the course of everyone checking their own replays before submission, keep an eye out for markers being out of place (because that would go against what I've just said and would have to be dealt with on a case-by-case basis). If one is knocked over and you obviously didn't hit it then we'd call that OK.

I'm the resident "expert" on the brake markers here, I got DQ'd in the Challenger here in GT5 because I didn't even notice that I hit one at turn 2. I like to learn the hard way.

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

Good deal!


By the way, are you faster than me yet??

No, not even close. You are way more skilled than I am so I'm the last person you'll need to worry about.

 

[MisterWeary]

Thanks for the clarification 👍 I find myself being a bit too cautious today for fear of those markers. Not sure I can beat my ghost anyway from T1 to Finish but boy is my Sector 1 a mess

I remember braking to a stand still instead of accelerating when the run starts, and, at least in GT5, the marker would still fall like it was being pushed aside by wind. The replays were always ok ...
I really hope I don't get on anybody's nerves here, but, aren't we all a bit of a sociopath around here? Isn't that the hole idea behind the internet? Let's face it fellows, if we were nice, handsome, smooth folk, we wouldn't spend this much time racing against each other would we?
I know I wouldn't
Almost forgot, are any of the division 3 guys going to show up for the races? Raffy? Xelyno? Crowhop? C'mon We can let the aliens have the race while we have all the fun being slow...

 

[crowhop]

You must've bumped your head.

I've never beaten you in my life.

Yes, you were mooned.

My mistake then, maybe I'm thinking of someone else.

Cracks me up. Solid.


I'm in the NA event. No way I could ever make the EU one. And would probably never be able to obligate myself for the WW races on Saturday afternoons unless it's a rainy day and I could sneak in.

No way I was doing any of the Motul races...I had enough of that one for the TT.

And the guy keeps finding tenths out there...Start thinking about a division 2 signature 👍
Glad you can make one of the races!

 

[Gravitron]

Speaking of the online race, I think I'm going to go for some practice in a bit. Will post the room number in the thread.

My S3 is pretty quick. The rest is pretty average. Good thing is that S3 is repeatable...but those other sectors are too. ha.

I make no assumptions about promotions. Mainly because I'm not sure how it works. This is my second week at D3G, if that means anything.

 

[EDK]

New ones tonight. Really tough to retrain myself on some of what you can get away with on the game.

Righty-O, I reckon this is it for me:

27.762
53.678
1:15.445

Sectors 1, 3 and 4 are pretty much at my limit and Sector 2 is about one tenth off of my best. If this doesn't get me into D2 Silver then I don't think it's possible for me to get there 👍

You can get away with dirty on this combo.

I threw 2 1'15.0s away but then hit this one. BB 2/4

Need a couple tenths in T4 now. 👍

Nice splits @MisterWeary, @crowhop, and @GTP_CargoRatt.

Had another sit down with this combo tonight! Small improvements!

You're not going to let me get away, are you? 👍

EDIT: Oh yeah, I started using 3rd in the high speed left kink before the cork. More consistently fast/clean for me than 4th.

Yea, told you that you were a much better driver than me.....I knew I wasn't going crazy. Like I said, I'm the last one you need to worry about. Nice splits and keep up the good work, you'll be in D1 before you know it.

 

[Gravitron]

My "MX-5 Miata J-Limited II (NA, J) '93" in Laguna blue. And NASCAR rims, yes.

 

[ItsAllAboutWins]

@Gravitron those rims

Sassy Grass green looks amazing on this car.
