GTP_WRS Week 41 : Lotus Elise '96 @ Suzuka - East

[Anghammarad]

1'01.497

 

[theewar]

Best lap of a clean 3 laps.

1'01.288

 

[yesbossdodd]

Just broke into the 1:03 barrier, still a long way to go. I'm using Paulies tune with the mods from Ledgend. Will probably tweak the tune if I get the time...

I'm just grateful I haven't seen any of the times coming close to the online record!!! I got very scared when I did my first lap of 1:04.9xx and the online record was 56.818!!! I was thinking this was going to be a write off for me!

Heres to finding those seconds and tenths of seconds.

Thanks for the tune Paulie

 

[Crispy74]

Just had my first run at this, and it has to be said that I'm really enjoying this combo, cheers Sjaak 👍

And big thanks to Paulie for fantastic tune...the Elise handles beautifully

Best lap of the three,

1'02.040

 

[01GTP]

Had a go with this combo last night.

Thanks for the tune Paulie as I wasn't too sure if I could get 3 laps in.

This time is my fastest lap yet and in my fastest race so far.

1'02.742

 

[cpp214]

Fastest lap so far:

1'00.961

With TLD tune

Still need to work on consistency though, this 3 lap
stint is all over the place in terms of lap times

 

[Paulie]

Thanks again to everyone using and liking my tune.

Great time there. I was wondering when someone would set another sub 1'01 lap and start showing me how it's done. I know a 1'00.8xx is possible in it for me, but will be hard to do.

 

[hank87]

Now is the time for Madison to post a 0'58.x lap

 

[LeGeNd-1]

Current fastest lap on this 3-lapper: 1'02.3xx (sorry don't remember two last digits)

I'll have to catch you LeGeNd-1 , good pace there! 👍

MadMax

Thanks mate. Finally I'm quick enough to gain your attention . Let's hope I continue to improve now.

Just broke into the 1:03 barrier, still a long way to go. I'm using Paulies tune with the mods from Legend. Will probably tweak the tune if I get the time...

I'm honoured someone's using my tune tweak .

I was shocked as well when I saw the difference. Just goes to show how screwed the PP system is...

Speaking of laptimes, how realistic is high 58s? The D1 aliens should be able to answer that 💡.

EDIT: Hurrah! I just became a Gold Member!

In this car, on N3's, impossible.

I don't think even a high 59 is possible unless someone finds a miracle tune. I had a quick go at this yesterday using a slightly modified TLD tune (less toe front and rear) and it's a nice challenge to drive on the limit. My best single lap was a 1:00.865, and I could see another 10th or so to come off this with the current set up.

Yeah, I figured high 58s would be impossible. I was just joking there. Low 1.00s will be the limit I suppose.

 

[Paulie]

I would be surprised even by a low 1'00, it would be a great lap though, I suspect an alien will need to land his saucer and jump in an Elise before we see the possibility even of such a time.

 

[Marooned]

Board Updated

Edit: I gave it a go and not enjoying the slides

Best lap: 1'02.052

Edit: Board updated with Ingram's new lap and removed Stotty's lap. awaiting his new super fast lap

 

[Paulie]

You'll probably have to ask Stotty, but I don't think he has put in a 3-lapper yet, or at least that's the impression I got. If that single lap of his isn't part of a 3-lapper it probably shouldn't go on the board. Stotty?

 

[Sureboss]

1'02.206
1'01.667

Nothing like a smooth lap. Nice tune Paulie, quite easy to let the rear slide out on this one. Anything in the 1'01s and I'm happy. Not a fan of the Suzuka esses...



Okay, tweaked the TLD tune and got the above. How much of that was to the tune change or me just settling in to the track, I'm not so sure. It felt a bit better to drive. Especially in the last corner.

Toe -0.15/+0.16
Camber 1.3/1,4
Rear damper upped to 4.

 

[Stotty]

My lap isn't part of a set... I will post a lap for that later but I was just running it to try it out last night.

 

[GTP_Ingram]

I'm enjoying this one so much! And unlike last week I can understand how the leaders are going so fast

New best of 3 - 1:01.072

One question: When I watch my replay, should I take my times from the section at the top-right of the screen, or the time that flashes up in the centre? The times are always subtly faster when they flash up in the middle. All the times I have posted so far are the ones that appear in the corner, but i'd happily take the couple of extra 1/100ths if I'm allowed...

My times have all been the same, including the ones for "my online record"... Dunno why it'd be different for some than others.

[yesbossdodd]

Yeah Ledgend, I like your tu...tweaks... I can get the power down earlier and I seem to be able to catch any slides earlier.👍
:tup:to Paulie too, good work mate, hopefully I can get up towards the middle of the league this week rather than slumbering at the bottom!

 

[Paulie]

I just received word that Mad isn't participating this week, anyone in D1 who wants a very real shot at an overall win, put in the effort now. I'm having another crack very soon.

Jeez, that didn't take long for word to get here! Only announced that about 20 minutes before you posted! Nah, just a bit too busy this week and by the looks of it this combo will take a while to get a good run.

 

[Sureboss]

Are those 6hr school days getting to you, again?

 

[LeGeNd-1]

Yeah Legend, I like your tu...tweaks... I can get the power down earlier and I seem to be able to catch any slides earlier.👍

Glad you like it .

 

[Stotty]

Had an hour on this last night... found it quite easy to run 1 or 2 quick laps (new single best lap 1:00.761), but equally, quite difficult to hold it together for 3 laps at that pace.

Best lap in a set of 3: 1:00.906

Using the TLD tune with front toe at -0.10, rear toe at +0.20... I like this better as it turns in a touch faster.

 

[Paulie]

Nice work Stotty, I'm in the exact same boat as you. A single fastest lap is fairly easy, and 2 of them is not a tall order, but 3 fast laps in a row is extremely hard in this. I've improved, but my 3rd lap was sloooooooow, so it has only delivered a marginal overall improvement.

Fastest Lap: 1'00.844


Edi: Grrrr, what started as a fun event is turning impossibly frustrating very fast. I spent hours today, and other than the time above, my overall time has little to show for it thanks to the difficult to achieve consistency. I really didn't want to submit with my current time, but at this rate I may have to.

 

[Stotty]

Yes, you can get away with tiny slides on the way in to the corner, and even a little mid bend, but any slides once you're on the throttle ruin the lap.

 

[Crispy74]

Yep, I just experienced a lap ruining slide getting on the gas out of the last corner, which proved very frustrating as the first two laps were faster than my previous best and the third was looking pretty good too...Damn!!

New fastest,

1'01.943

Finally broken my 1'02 barrier, so thats my target for today... just need to keep it consistent and string together 3 decent laps!!

 

[Sureboss]

It is damn tough to hit 3 consistent laps.

 

[yesbossdodd]

I keep stringing together two "good" ones and the third goes ok but I seem to always completely fail on the final corner of the final lap!!

If I don't spin out I take it way to conservatively! Very frustrating but at least my times are steadily falling.
