GTP_WRS Week 52 : Focus on the Apex

[EDK]

This car and I are just not destined to become friends anytime soon. I'll just stick with this lap and hope for better luck next time.

Be smooth, and your craziest dreams will come true. 👍

 

[CoachMK21]

Took a few days off and after 3 laps I snagged .246 seconds faster at the line. I'll stop there and be satisfied. Less than 200km on this one.

12 hours and counting.....still going.


Still don't know what the hell I'm doing wrong in that damn chicane. No matter how close to my ghost I am, it always seems to pull away from me coming out of there and on down the straight. Its like I got a damn parachute tied to the back of my car.

EDIT: 13 hours.

EDIT: 14 hours. Anybody out there? Starting to hallucinate....I just thought I seen the Care Bears pass be by on the track.

EDIT: 15 hours.

EDIT: Yes, after 15 1/2 hours, finally improved at the line. It was only a .082 improvement, but improvement nonetheless. Still not what I'm looking for though so I will be right back at it after a few hours of sleep. Very tired right now. My arms and legs feel like noodles, I have a very large headache and I feel like I'm going to puke. So, if you all will excuse me, I'm out of here for a few hours. Good luck everyone, keep reaching for your goals. I'm out.

I did do the registration and got the reply back saying "Your registration has been ACCEPTED you can now enter any WRS event." Do I have to register for each event too?

 

[Rikson]

Do I have to register for each event too?

No,you're good to go now.Posting splits and up-loading the replay of your fastest lap will do.
Good luck

I finally got a respectable lap thanks to a little tutoring by Mike @mr_lab_rat .

Initial splits submitted and accepted. Got one shot left tomorrow night to improve on these.

Second stint at this after 5 days of inactivity, changed to manual gears.
Sailing through the auto geared ghost around the long left hander, 2 tenths worse for my t3 but faster overall.

T3 is like the whole lap.

Put in some inputs today, -105 ms T3. First sector maybe 60 ms inferior to best. I'd give this some more tonight but my throttle knee disagrees.

Same here... T2 = 36,666

After nearly 2 hours of continuously driving i give up now. I change the BB to 1/4, this helped me a little bit to go faster through the chicane. Thanks to the helpful advise from @mr_lab_rat: i could improve the time of the last secor at about 0,5 seconds.

[Iceman220]

Damn, I see some quick times. Need to get to this one and give a last go tomorrow.

 

[Thematic]

I got more consistent in the second sector by increasing FFB strength. The car drives itself.

Smooth move there ExLax. Some people would see this as a setback, I see it as just another challenge......been facing them all my life. Time to get back on my horse again, its going to be another long day. Good luck everyone on your final push.

This is going to be it for me today so whatever happens, happens. I've got two doctors appointments and counseling tomorrow so I won't have time for a Hail Mary. Gotta make it happen today.

OMG!!!!!!!! I have just found the missing piece to the puzzle, I have found the Sacred Heart. If I can manage to string this thing together, aliens will be in trouble. (Easier said than done however )

Seriously though, pretty sure I have figured out what I've been doing wrong in the chicane. Getting it consistently right though for further improvement is the challenge. Hell, I'm just happy my dumbass figured it out.....it only took almost 4,000 miles.

Reached my aim of improving 1 tenth over my previous splits, but I can still see time in there Hopefully I can find it til the deadline

Too many miles, my hands are unbelievably sore from griping the wheel, not sure how much longer I can go. My hands feel like lobster claws. Now I know a little bit of how those guys from the TV show "Deadliest Catch" feel like with their hurting hands.

 

[monkeywall]

Managed a faster time although nothing compared to the rest of you.

Just not sure if it's 100% clean. when cornering if your two outside wheels are just over the white line on the curd while your inside wheels are on the dirt is it clean?

 

[Thematic]

Not sure I got the right idea but "partially outside" does not make a difference in #52. So those wheels on the kerb are on track and that's the end of it.

On to next week.

 

[mickyevs]

Starting to get the hang of manual gears. 💡 Still hit the limiter quite often and change up/down when I should change down/up, but definitely quicker than auto.
WHY DIDN'T I TRY THIS 4YRS AGO. , AAAAAAARRRRGGGGHH 🤬

T1: 18.200
T2: 37.350

 

[mr_lab_rat]

Based on the torque curve I believe it's good to shift right before the redline.
I only use the third gear for turn 1.

 

[GTP_Luds78]

Final time submitted and accepted first combo back with everything upto date :-)

 

[the_wilco]

Four hundredths up at T2 but four tenths up at the line.

Picked up a couple tenths in T3, while giving back a bit in the first 2 sectors.

Gonna submit this and go watch the Pats lose.
