GTP_WRS Week 59 : Mid-Field Mazda Mania

[Teamsreth]

@Teamsreth my apologies. Hope everything turns out okay.

If you're looking for 24's... first corner in 3rd at 73-74 mph. Turn 3, stay in 3rd no braking, 105 mph is as low as you wanna go, shift to 4th just before turn 4.

Don't worry about it. I am supposed to be sleeping, but I want to be there with him. I am at home with the little one tonight, so my wife gets to be there for him.

The turn 3 in third is probably where i am going wrong for sector 1. I think I can clean up sector 2 alot though, so a 48 may be on there.

No work tonight... will get some laps on this later 👍


Good to see Midfield back

I can't wait to drop another spot down the leaderboard.

Nearing the limit already, can see a 24 T1 but @mcsqueegy 's 48 T2 seems like witchcraft at the moment.

No torque, where's the torque?

EDIT: Whilst following the ghost I was wondering what the lights were.
As it turns out they're to show the car following when it's braking, cruising or accelerating.

Kev really deserves those bowdown's for this one. In about an hour's time he had picked the car, tested it, taken the pics and got the thread up, saving you all from some zany combos that the other admins and I had selected.

 

[numbnuts70]

I found a couple of Vids.



500cc rotary? Sounds more like an RG500 to me.




Sounds a bit meatier but still like a motorbike.



And, finally, translation anyone?

 

[ItsAllAboutWins]

@numbnuts70 when I first bought the car and heard it start up in the menu, I was instantly reminded of my old Honda CR500 two stroke dirt bike... back when helmets were for sissies and you could be king for riding the longest wheelie down the airport runway.

Car still looks like a prototype delorean.

 

[numbnuts70]

CR500 - a proper 'crosser that. Late 80s model?

That'd be it! Except it didn't look that nice

 

[Teamsreth]

Just managed a 24. 8xx. Now to work on sector 2. Sector 3 seems easy, but a good sector 2 will make the hairpin difficult.

Trying to work out where I am losing half a second in sector 2. I know I can be faster, but 100kms in, and no better there at all.

 

[numbnuts70]

Swapped to manual gears, just to be nosey - only did a few clean laps but the difference is startling.

Where to are you regular manual user's changing up at?
I was holding to about 8.1/8.2.

Gaining 2mph (137 vs 135) over the line and better through the turn 3/4 and tunnel twin right plus better braking down to the tunnel hairpin.

24.890
48.890

2.2 tenths gain at the line.

Last splits for today. The hairpin into the tunnel in sector 3 is very frustrating.

Just a noob question before sleep. Is it really worth it to shell out 500.000 for this car? It would be my second TT but don't know if it would be better to wait for another one or give it a try with this.

Will this car be used in the future or just sit parked?

There are also online races for every TT combo on saturday/wednesday so lots of fun with every car, don't worry, is not that much those 500K, you can sell it after TT and races are done.

Edit: Look on them through link in my sig. The GTP WRS OE link

 

[ro amighetti]

Thanks Mires. Very much appreciated.

What kinds of cars do you normally like to drive? I use this one a lot for 500PP road car seasonal events. It punches above its weight, and is a lot of fun to drive.

Mid Engine, 50/50 weight distribution, only 850kg. Very stable with the long wheel base. Like a tamed Elise with a rotary.

Gotcha. Gonna buy it tomorrow and go for a few days worth of TT. Thanks.

Make a back up of your save onto your usb. Buy the car, then run the TT. After you finish your session, load the back up back onto your ps3.

Didn't know that! Is that considered cheating? Serious question.

 

[Gravitron]

Nope, not cheating. Just using the tools available to get around PD's lack of good payouts and repetitive grinding for credits. A lot of us did the 1.0 credit glitch and still have millions of credits, also not cheating - just taking advantage of PD's mistakes.

 

[Animera]

Or just get Bob to run the Nurb 24 mins in a Rocket. Takes him around 28 mins and you get $614K.

You lost me there. Forum's lingo still not settled in.

He's telling you to run a seasonal event in the B-Spec Mode that was just added to the game in the recent update.
