GTP_WRS Week 3 : MCMLXXIII - MMII

[Windy_1238]

Ouch. That makes 3 broken G27s just among us WRS'ers in the past week.

I don't know if Amazon's deal of US$229 on the G27 extends up to Canada, but I had to take advantage of that when my G27 started shaking wildly when I turned it right of center and I found I broke a tooth on the steering rack.

Broken tooth's is exactly (after 2 G25's) I went to the t500!

If only I had $600 (or had $150 during the infamous Cyber Monday sale),....

Can't wait to give this one a try!

She is right

Not great splits this time, but .24x at the line so its all good:

29.800
56.667

There's a few turns where lots of tenths can be lost or gained, and the last corner is notorious for this. I've been getting lots of great splits, being ahead of my ghost by a couple tenths or so and then losing up to 8 tenths at the line because of this.

I did once see a couple of .6s in T1 which really surprised me, but couldn't manage to maintain that pace for the whole lap.

I'm really loving this combo. Third or fourth sitting on this one and I've no intention of stopping now.

I had a .58.xxx but bumped a wall👎

Just to point out that my first split was actually .815. That's quite a big round-up. I worked this out from the - or + readings doing the first sector with that ghost.

Don't worry, you'll do it again, then you'll keep doing it without even thinking. That's how you improve, it sneaks up on you.

👍 THANK YOU I needed that encouragement. I also saw an entire second improvement at the line... but had bumped a wall earlier...

 

[ollie57]

Yes It's all to easy to nudge the wall's doing this TT, but a few good clean laps will eventually come along.. just keep at it..

Not my fastest T1, but best T2 & +.200 at the line

0'30.091
0'56.941

 

[Crispy74]

Slight improvement, but still room for a better T1,

29.767

[rambo793]

Ooh my quite to my surprise, I'm loving this little combo. First splits:
T1: 29.783
T2: 56.750

Got room for better, might leave early from college tomorrow and run a few more.

 

[Tuffers86]

So, I've had a terrible last couple of days at work and basically told my boss that if they don't want me to turn in tomorrow with a face like thunder they should let me go early and thrash something boxy, retro and German.

It paid dividends and I will be very productive tomorrow

Still a few tenths out there to claw but I'm not a miserable so and so right now

Mine thinks the same way, but then I tell her to get off Facebook. Needless to say that I can play GT in front of her now once in a while.

 

[Nemo Niente]

I am still at the bottom, but I saw that second again....

(those at the top better watch out, I figured this Lady out💡)

 

[mickyevs]

T1: 30.914
T2: 58.697

 

[Nemo Niente]

I wish there was a way to practice each sector seperately...

Note to self: avoid curbs, curb-edges when in second gear and second gear and walls in general

 

[Daniel Pinho]

Any tricks to this one before i get started, brake balance? Also has this game still got the joy of "breaking in" the car?
