GTP_WRS Week 35 : Fast Fat Cat

[skyline1683]

Does anyone find that treating the last turn (#7) a little like Parabolica at Monza is a faster line. I think hugging inside guardrail in reverse is faster, but it seems slower in this trial. Am I crazy? Any tips?

Your spot on you ideally want to be a just over a cars width from the top of the bank you can hold a higher average speed this way as to hugging the barrier which is about 15mph slower

Hmm, @EDK told me the exact opposite when we were testing it online on Friday night. He said I needed to stay lower and tighter.

Gave it a long run, about a tenth to find over T2 and T3 but that T1 is hard to match!

Great splits 👍 gonna take the dog for a walk then see if I can catch up some on this combo... I'll be back

It's what I was noticing with this combo. Seemed to get me better launch speed to apex it. Most times, the high line is faster, but this car has a lot of power and grip.

I'm holding a line just a bit higher than than the center of the track and my average speed is between 115-119mph if I hug the barrier I can't apex higher than 113-114mph with the higher line I'm starting my laps at 151mph and 177mph at turn one

Back on the wheel and it feels great. This is a nice kitty to play with.
First 34 laps gave me these:

Have to work on turns 4 and 5

Thanks for the tip @Mr P 👍 I also watched some videos on YouTube, and saw that the fastest line is at the outside of those turns. So after 20 more minutes I was very surprised that it worked so well, I gained 7 tenths!

My T1 still needs improvement though.

Not sure if you are talking about the start of the lap or at the end of the lap. I ain't the fastest guy around here, but here's how I take the last turn at the end of the lap. Hard to see, but I start about in the lower middle and let the car drift up to the rumbles and then hug the outside line from there.

Giving it try.

That's pretty much how I take it apart from I hold a slightly higher entrance line

Sorry, but we don't allow vids of final sectors.

Sorry! I thought it would be fine as it was only partial and no time was displayed. Won't happen again.

Perhaps that rule should be added to the rules

Cape Ring does not apply here.

Yeah, once the splits have been grabbed from your post, you will need to make another post in order to update them.

So we are fine with double/triple posts in the name of updating splits.

Thank you for your answer. sorry i didn't pay attention

Another quick go, still working out T2 and it seems been late, high and smokein on this combo seems good, so ignore the healthy lifestyle.

Drew, Patrick - you guys are flying.

I'm finally going to get some time behind the wheel now.

Poop. They messed with the force feedback in 1.12 and my steering is now way too light

 

[Rikson]

Feels like the feedback is reduced by 50% with the up-date,don't like it all..
All set to max (g27).
@Gravitron @EDK
Does this up-date have an effect on uploaded replays?
In other words,must the fastest lap been driven with the new version?

This is some seriously good fun.
