GTP_WRS Week 29 : Wild l'Ouest

[ColinNZ]

I'm really starting to get a handle on the final two sectors now; but only on laps where I messed up the rest of it.

Gains in some sectors and loses in others. Par for the course, But a nice gain at the line. Really enjoying this combo.

Another improvement, but I’ve seen some better splits.

Does it matter if my replay contains a couple of laps with this one being the first? I saved a faster lap replay in the same session, but it was dirty so I had to save this one as a full replay

Man, Randy. My nice purple run

Bit more then. .3 and Looking for another .25-.3 till the end

 

[Hasnain282]

I cannot for the life of me do a clean lap around here

Anytime I can take something from an alien I'm happy
My best sector 1 this morning was a .199 but over ran the next turn

@Argon wouldnt have been happy if that one wound up being my best lap, I was so close to the green Argons in the esses he would have had to get a second opinion

 

[Renrag39]

Still nothing worthwhile. Every time I push, I unleash my inner cat. Straight into the gravel, dig a hole, do a little poo and cover it up again.

For the sake of immersion, it sounds like this:
Waaaaaaaaab, waaaaaaaaab, waaaaaaaaab, brrrrap, brrrrap, erererkke, skish, parp, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble.

Think I'll spend a few laps in something less intense to get a better idea of the track.

 

[eggmann]

Agreed. I have 100 miles logged with no clean lap. I'm good at replicating @Renrag39's experience, though.

 

[eggmann]

I just watched the race loading up. Why is there an allen wrench sticking out of the engine just ahead of the windshield? That must be what's holding me down.

 

[Espial]

First splits for me. Might also be the only ones, as I don't have much time to run this week... plus it actually is a decent lap I'm happy with.

For you I would have given a red flag without a second opinion

Another attempt around this track.. not easy keeping it clean.. but beginning to get better lines.. not pushing to hard.. and although I lost almost a second in the last half of lap.. The gains in the 1st half made sure I was up at the line.. so more time still to find..

[MikeyLCR]

Watching the real guys doing it is good but most of their laps are dirty! good for some tips on lines though

For anyone wanting to emulate/beat the real thing. Toyota are currently holding the top 2 spots after first qualification session with the pole sitter setting a time of 3.17.270 (Sébastien Buemi, Kazuki Nakajima and Fernando Alonso)

Oh look Alonso on provisional pole... He's so amazing! What would Toyota do without him?

And yeah I ain't getting anywhere near that.



I'm kidding btw, Nakajima set that time, Alonso's best isn't even close to that.

More of your @Argon alien friend's I presume...

 

[Hasnain282]

Are we allowed to mention the 2016 qualifying times or nah?

Thanks for that Mike! I thought I was doing ok until you said that, now I realise I’m no where near that time

Of course the only reason I'm not hitting that is because I can't tune it

 

[Bass Addict]

I thought it might be prudent to start REALLY checking my replays...I have 15 laps saved so far. 💡

The top three laps....Dirty

The next five laps....Dirty

The next five laps....DIRTY 🤬🤬🤬🤬

The last two are so slow, I deleted them both...

Okay, breathe...take it slow and get a clean lap...💡

Splits in the next post...

[eggmann]

Now I'm 200 miles in, and I'm still having a hard time adapting to the track boundaries. I am sure if I could conform to them I would be driving faster, but still no clean lap yet. Back to the grind...

 

[Gadge]

Yeah new splits for me.

[Nerazzurri]

You were right @Argon, I could beat my previous time! In fact I managed to knock over another two seconds off my lap time
I’m pretty certain this will be my submitted time, but as they say it isn’t over until the fat lady sings!

For anyone wanting to emulate/beat the real thing. Toyota are currently holding the top 2 spots after first qualification session with the pole sitter setting a time of 3.17.270 (Sébastien Buemi, Kazuki Nakajima and Fernando Alonso)

Nakajima set a 3:15.377 in the final qualifying session last night, exactly 2 seconds faster than the other Toyota's best time (set by Kamui Kobayashi in the first session).

Anyway, from what I read in other threads, it doesn't seem realistic to get near these times in the game without tuning. But who knows what the aliens here are capable of.

P.S. I'm rooting for the pole car — it would be a big thing for Alonso, and doing it together with a Swiss and a Japanese guy would be the cherry on top. 👍

 

[Meister Fetz]

Nah, good junk away from those times, and no way to get those. but tuning and ability to control E Engines would compensate those seconds. Yep, that’s literraly seconds.
Another good part of time found using a fresh car after already more then 2500km in this combo Car is fast, track is straight so kms come in quickly.

Will try to get it cleaned up a bit. That’s sooo close a few times but going too wide costs grip exiting those turns so still time left. Goal in and seriously smashed.
