GTP_WRS Week 47: Fish, Chips, and Geishas

[shoenboggie]

I never expected so many would like this combo

What’s there not to like??? This car sounds good, has good braking feel, is balanced, understeers when you push it too much in the high speed corners, oversteers a bit in the slower corners on exit, and seems to handle the curbs pretty well too.

The track and this car really go well together. 👍

My past combos were not so liked by many, so it surprised me. I did something right yay!

First couple of laps and the 8's are wild in my split times...

@suprajef Jeff, AWESOME combo...I have a smile back on my face again while driving! 👍👍

I should have made some time to take part in the B daily race last week...

Really impressed with this combo. Fighting the fast in one section slow in another. It’s really easy to over drive the corners when you’re not scared of spinning it. This car looks gorgeous in red.

A lot of work for me to do on this.

 

[Espial]

As much as I like the normal Yamagiwa layout, I actually really dislike the reverse. But lately it’s being used quite often all over the place: Asia/Oceania Finals, Daily race, this week’s Nations Cup and now the WRS too…
I do like the car however so I gave it a go yesterday. After the intial 50km this is my best lap:

25.711
28.516
18.665

Still more time left in there, so I’m going to try again this week.

 

[RuddRacer]

Initial shakedown. Have been almost .4 faster in the 2nd sector just not on this lap.

I don't really dislike anything about this TT, any problems you have with the layout are caused by the driver, and the car sort of understeers but again is at the fault of the driver...
This one is just going to make me angry as it dangles a perfect lap in front of me without any hope of reaching it.
Calling to me in the middle of the night, suggesting that "just one more lap" will be all it takes.
We could be on this TT for a month and we'd all still be making improvements.
Got a quick 10 laps in and it went pretty well, managed to line up 3 sectors on this lap before dinner got called. No idea how much time is still out there, no doubt lots finding the one specific ideal line that you'll see once in a blue moon.

It’s been a while but, I finally have a day off to have ago at the time trial. Here’s my first splits after first 10 laps having never ran this configuration of track before. Loving it to be honest fells quick and balanced but does have a habit of sucking you in. Just finding the corners before the end of sector 2 a bit of a pig with the trail braking through all them bends.

Oh well, the combo is Jeff's idea and Mike @Argon came up with the name, I'm just the messenger...👍

6 tenths off optimal
Keeping it tight seemed to be better through the longer corners though that might just be me.
TC 0, ABS weak, BB+2

Just a quick question @roamer2629 , if we have cone markers on is the lap invalid, if we knock them over.

No you're good to hit them over as much as you like 👍
