GTP_WRS Week 52 : Focus on the Apex

[mistersafeway]

It does for me hence why I only submit splits/laps where I'm actually competitive...

Best T1 from memory was a .709, every time I brave those curbs I crash spectacularly into the wall!

Same here, it just... snaps.

 

[Spirit]

First 25 laps. Very slippery car.

Wow, that doesn't happen very often. I had bunch of 17.6s, most of them were result of successfully cutting across the curb of turn 3.

I had a few 17.5's but managed to get over excited and run wide coming out of the left handers onto the straight. The quick right to get onto those continuous left handers is the tricky part for me and was most certainly my undoing in the NASCAR TT. I know how to do it, its just getting it done is the hard part.

Do you mean the chicane after T2? I think I'm faster through there when staying in 4th gear. I managed to carry 114km/h through there. Exactly once

Yea. I tried 4th, but it just doesn't seem as fast as dropping into 3rd briefly for that quick right hander.

well, a lot to learn for me with this combo

An update on my new splits.

I believe I never had to steer that smoothly! Not easy to keep the car pointing forward, but this combo is nice for constant hotlapping

It's been a while but FF on a short track was impossible to ignore. Here's my best so far.

First ones for me.

BB 2/4.

Smooth inputs with the wheel and throttle are definitely needed. I am using 3rd gear for the first corner and for the start of the final chicane. It helps get the car turned in and set. And I have a magic final sector that's 2 tenths faster than anything else I've managed using 3rd gear there. Finding the right braking and turn in points for that turn is really tricky.

Liking the drifty feel of the rear end.

Great combo, very addictive. Tire choice right on the money IMO. Well done Kevin 👍.

Dropped a few hundredths in T1, had a wiggle at the end of T2, and dropped about a tenth in T3. At least it's fun chasing time here.

I knew you would figure it out and find your stride, you're too good not to.

Only 6 thousandths at T2 but full two tenths at the line . This might be it for me as I need to focus on the Career Championship now.

 

[luv2drive]

This is a fun combo! No problem to turn in a clean lap, the trick is to make it a fast one.

Ran for a little while and got these splits...

Going to be another great learning experience: we will study smooth steering inputs this week class:

I found that I'm faster by going on two wheels

Still my T3 sucks, at least 1 tenth to grab there, maybe another one in T1 if I figure it out.

Just make sure they aren't out of bounds then more power to you!

Strange, replay shows worse splits but they were both blue! What prompts this rounding I wonder.
