  • Stock and Standard size custom wheels and Paint Allowed
  • +1/+2 inch wheels not allowed

+1 and +2 inch wheels cause issues with gear values. Check your rim size. There's still time to run this.
If you had other than stock / std size rims , change the rims and reset gear box.

nope...same deal. Wheels are original. Went to mods and original / standard is checked. I have reset the tranny just in case. Oh well. On to the Daytona.

Then the only option left would be to buy a new car I'm afraid.
 
I've had a few laps heading to be a couple of tenths faster, but it just doesn't seem to be happening. I really need to stop leaving WRS TTs to the last minute.

I'm submitting my current lap, hopefully my T3 will be enough to squeak into third place.

EDIT: Submitted and accepted :)

Your t3 won't be of much use, but your T5 might ;)
 
I apologize, my 21yr old Grandson is getting his 12 hrs of sleep and I can't get to the PS3 to download my lap time for submitting. :grumpy:
 
Some of you are amazing!

I was consistently beating my best lap at T1 and T2 by 0.800, but I would lose all that in turn 6 and cross the line half a second late. I'm not sure why I kept blowing it after that point, but I should have been able to shave a second off my lap just based on the first three sectors.
 
Had a blast running this one. I felt like i was putting up a solid time when i.hit 137.75. I'm tempted to grab replays from some faster guys and keep pushing on this until I crack 137.0.
I'm a newbie here and I'm sure I'm saying nothing new. But I'm frustrated that I could not put together a lap consisting of something close to my best sectors! My best lap had some of my worst T1, T2 and T3 times! I earned a 1'37.75 if I could cut and paste sectors into a complete lap! ;) I know, practice and gain experience.

I think this track in particular was tough to string 5 good sectors in the same lap. My first 3 sectors were very ordinary on my best lap, as I regularly was up by 4 tenths over that run heading to sector 4 but could never beat my ghost back to the line.

The frustration made this addictive--especially with the teaser of blindingly fast sectors delivered only one of five per lap! Unfortunately, I missed several days due to other commitments and didn't get a chance to see if I could tie it all together.

You have what's known as 5/10'ths syndrome! A lot of us experience it from time to time. Whenever you get half a second ahead of your ghost, for some inexplicable reason, you completely forget how to drive!:lol:

Don't worry, it comes and goes and lessens with time and events under your belt.

I'm especially proud of this lap because 4 of 5 sectors were within a few hundreds of my best time. I think with the exception of surtees, every turn was a well above average effort on my part. No turn was my absolute best effort, buy every turn was 9/10....With the exception of surtees. Damn...This close to a lap I could be really happy with.
 
Glad to know its not just me!

And that's exactly how you get faster.
Also I would love to see more D2 guys in the online race on Wednesday. It was all alien show this weekend :)
