GTP_WRS Week 4 : ImPozzibly Big RS

[Eggstor]

Once again, I won't be close to a podium, but got some improvement:

25.604
55.637

 

[cooljeffro]

Really liking this combo.

25.367
54.685

 

[iainoflo85]

I give up for tonight - T2 just baffles me:

25.188
54.605

I don't know how I can get such a great T1 and then an awful T2 but I'm forever confused in T2.

Oh, that's two tenths at the line as well.

Well I nailed T1, but T2 is still a mystery. I'm really enjoying this combo. 👍

24.567

53.384

EDIT: sorry but my tires reset to Sport Softs somehow. Sorry if I scared anybody.

 

[Northstar]

Guessing there won't be any dirty laps this week.

I tried 10 laps and gave up as I couldn't get a single lap in without going off track.

 

[Usual Suspect]

First splits

24.884
53.467

This thing doesn't like the road

 

[billyjoebobx]

OK, to get my stupid self down the leader board, I'll post my splits from my first short run last night, using the correct tires of course.

25.234

54.134

Nice one Mike. Last night I got a 52.9, then threw it away on the last turn. I even used the same brake balance.

Lovely combo once you get into it. 👍

 

[billyjoebobx]

Great work Animera as usual.

I'm having a hoot and a holler, though I still don't get sector 2.

24.984

53.767

 

[Nemo Niente]

New splits and an overall improvement:

27.283
58.633

 

[Nemo Niente]

New splits and another overall improvement:

26.644
57.810

I am on a roll 👍

EDIT:
My qualifiers must have been real good in comparison for me to start in D4S...

 

[Racingworld68]

New splits, still more improvement possible :

25.123
54.206

 

[Nemo Niente]

New splits and another overall improvement

26.400
57.317

 

[Killermiller24]

New splits and another overall improvement

Nice to see how you improve.....go on like this

 

[nursemorph]

@mike_gt3 : Thanks for the brake bias tip, definitely helping with turn in although the car starts sliding when off the brake. Have only run 10 laps with that bias so am still getting used to it.

Finally managed to get into the sub 55 twice in this run, though S1 is pretty ordinary but improved at the line so that's fine:

S1: 25.517
S2: 54.917

 

[Nemo Niente]

Thank you 👍
I try my best

@Vagabond (or whomever chose this combo): Please look at the different driving views when choosing a combo. This car's in-car happens to have the rear view mirror obscuring the entire right side of the screen, rendering it completely useless. Thanks

 

[Nemo Niente]

Question:

I know I can do better. But I think I am overthinking speed through corners. What are 'reasonable' speeds through these corners?

Sector 1 second corner leading up to T1.

Sector 2 the corner on the 'hump'.

I'd really appreciate some ideas.

You really think that should be a primary concern for us when choosing a combo, on the off-chance it may be inconvenient to a small minority of people who prefer to use only cockpit view? Really? So it would be better to deprive the WRS of a chance to thrash the Pozzi around than you either putting up with it or using a different view?

@Nemo Niente - For sector 1, watch the video in the OP. Sector 2 hump ~105mph at the apex. 👍

Are we talking about the same corner? The second corner in Sector 2?
105 mph... Seems suicidal...

The hairpin you mean? You said 'the hump' which to my mind is the flat-out right hander just before the T2 split...

My minimum speed round the hairpin on my current lap was ~58mph but I messed it up a bit on that lap. Not sure what best speed I've managed there is at this point.

Nice, very nice... Thanks for listening 👍

Oh. Yes the hairpin. To me that's the hump since I go up a 'hill' to reach it. But yes the hairpin. Ok, then I am on target. 58 mph is doable. And 105 mph seems doable too in the righthander right before the first split, T1 👍
Thanks

 

[Nemo Niente]

New splits - slower T1 and T2 but faster at the line.

26.600
58.050

Which means I am burning rubber in the last Sector. (as opposed to week 3)

 

[ollie57]

Not enjoying this combo.. I fined it hard to get two consecutive laps in.. Never the less I have a very small improvement..

25.567
55.150

 

[Vagabond]

Nice, very nice... Thanks for listening 👍

Put simply and just so you don't feel I'm singling you out, if we were forced to reject cars, tracks, tyre choices on the basis of what may annoy, upset, or otherwise inconvenience every member, we'd not have a WRS at all. Majority rules; its not mean, sarcastic or rude, its just how everything works.
