GTP_WRS Week 53 : Where We're Going, We Don't Need Roads

[Serialf]

Hello everybody
After four months of leave I'm back again
If there's a cure for this I dont want it

29.012
1.03.245

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

More than frustrated right now. Corners 3, 4, and 5 really giving me problems right now. If I had a cat, I would surely kick it by now. And please, no need to call PETA on me.

That took a while, lap 54 means it's a bit overdue.
Glad I tried the adviced 3rd, I don't get the corner.
PB 1st is several hundredths better but this lap is kind of balanced I *imagine*.

Had another session this evening and managed to improve my splits:

28.367
1:01.217

Day 2:
28.799
1:02.082

Good first sector. Lousy 2nd sector, but still better overall lap than day 1.

Snap, Mr Crispy-nice T2

 

[GTP_Patrick1]

There are 6 D2 splits within a tenth . @Ettick_ leading the way with a commanding 2 tenths advantage. I am either done or on the brink of an improvement, my leaderboard times are all within a tenth.

 

[w-g-e]

The driving style required here is polar opposite to last week, so it takes a bit of time to adjust. The DeLorean is always nice to drive.👍

T1: 28.281
T2: 1'00.581

Lucky lap really, I'm still finding it tricky.

 

[luv2drive]

Fairly happy with T1, but not so much T2, definitely don't think I'm taking turns 3 and 4 right at all. More experimentation necessary.

28.580
1'01.763

 

[Eggstor]

I've created a time paradox:

28.833
1'01.949

A full quarter-second at the line.

1'00.678

T1 =
T2 =
T3 =

T3 was 1.5 tenths better than anything i've managed yet... With a good T1 this would've been a nice lap!

 

[RJS]

Well, let's try this one

28.620
1:01.686


Not bad for 5 laps Also, didn't knew that this car is actually pretty fun.

 

[GTP_Patrick1]

28.599
1'01.349

Best sector 3 by far for over a tenth at the line.

[luv2drive]

28.660
1'01.643

I've seen 1'01.4xx but can't match the T3 of this lap. This may be the best I can do but I might give it another shot later in the week.

@numbnuts70

I have made a career out of searching for braking markers (and remembering them). I'm not too proud to admit I use the driving line to help me identify/ remember where to brake. I have heard other people mention they use the flashing downshift light for a reference. I suppose they work about the same, neither tells you when to brake but they do let you know you are getting close....

[Rob Ledwell]

I'm struggling big time with this one, only finding tenths when I need seconds.

29.150
1'02.834

Turn 5 is killing me. Can't find a fast way to take it in 3rd.

 

[JockeP22]

 

[RuddRacer]

Thanks @Animera 👍, with that info I focused on running laps instead of experimenting and it paid off.


28.572
1'01.455

 

[numbnuts70]

Quick re-spray and a set of 2" wire wheels.

28.350
1'01.116

Dipped a wheel in the dirt coming out of the last corner so a few tenths to get in that sector.
Haven't figured out where the 'alien' D1 boys are finding 0.5secs in the hill section yet.

May change to manual gears.

One of the definitions of insanity from Webster:

"something utterly foolish or unreasonable"

My own definition of insanity:

"Doing the same thing repeatedly, but expecting different results"


For this reason, I highly doubt I'll be continuing this combo. It's so not my style and I so hate this track. Sort of sad to "give up on it".

I agree with you about the track. I enjoyed this track at release, but due to PD's over use of it in the Seasonals, I really can't stand it now.

 

[numbnuts70]

Getting there slowly,I still gotta get the 3 sectors together.

Great car/tyre choice on this track.

Great improvement my friend.

About your username....ironically, that's what my Dad used to call me at times during my teenage years. He'd be like, "Come on numbnuts, get your 🤬 together." I then passed the name on down to my son.

 

[Animera]

Best T1 and T3, can improve T2.
