[Crispy74]

New splits,

T1 22.670
T2 57.921

 

[exstense]

I'm bad! ;-)
Keeping steady as beeing the last driver!

T1: 0'23.210
T2: 0'59.661

 

[Adam41]

Slowly improving with the wheel 👍

22.708
57.680

Still lots of tenths to be found

Lol, at least you can keep the car on track I know a lot of people who are at least a minute slower than you

The level at GTPlanet is just very high...

You don't need to be ashamed, keep it up! You'll improve a lot. You're almost a second faster than your previous splits and faster than my first run... keep it up and just try to improve yourself and don't compare yourself too much with the aliens at the top

Last splits for this decade

T1: 22.926
T2: 58.443

I'm afraid you'll have to wait until the end of 2010 before the start of the new decade. The current decade started on 01.01.2001 so the next one will begin on 01.01.2011. Sorry for being pedantic

that's always bugged me as well Steven!!!

I see it both ways. You could also say it's a start of a new decade because it's the end of the 80's for example. So we're finishing the 00's and moving on to the 10's.

 

[exstense]

Just submitted my final laptime
Newyearseve is about to begin... champagne=bad driving
next day: hangover=bad driving

Happy new year to you all!

If you want to be pedantic about it, isn't every year the end of a decade?

And by the way, I sincerely hope my New Year is better than this event .. I R8 my driving in the Audi supercar as just horrible right now.

EDIT: Latest splits.

22.683
57.856

Thanks!

 

[valleymd]

I haven't been approved yet, but here are my times anyway. I wish I would have known about the WRS sooner. Well, now I have a renewed use for GT5. I ran 50 laps and this is the best I could do!

T1: 22.879
T2:58.645

 

[Radracing]

Okay, here are my T1 & T2 times ran for about an hour. I might give it another go later.

T1: '23.022
T2: '58.578

 

[01GTP]

I wish I would have known about the WRS sooner.

Well your here now!

Welcome to the WRS.

 

[Animera]

I had a fairly lengthy stint this morning, and although I saw better T1 and T2 splits, I could not better my laptime, so I'm submitting with my current splits.

Happy New Year to you all

 

[Paulie]

I think I may just submit too, I don't think there's much left for me.

 

[SpacemanSpif]

Welcome to WRS. Here's also your friendly reminder to add a signature line with information about which division you're in and which controller type you use.


Edit: New splits. Found the key to turn one.

22.589

[sems4arsenal]

ok thanks guys your are awesome

 

[Sureboss]

Can you take it down the ironmongers and get them to copy the key, then send it in an SAE to...

I'll be hitting this one last time tonight for this event, made me realise how much I missed the WRS.

Edit:

22.831
57.928

Pretty good T2, but poor T1, lost .2 there, and at least .15 in T3. My best T1 is .589 (which I hit in 3 consec laps), so I'd hope I can submit with a 57.7 for T2 at some point...

 

[SpacemanSpif]

Its a small world.

I really wanted to put my name down for SFGTP5 but a very fluid work schedule wouldn't allow for it. Maybe this summer will be more favorable.

I've really enjoyed our races too. You and Vax have shown me the fast way around for a while now.

Thanks again and hopefully see you on track again!

Very nice splits Thomas - I tried quite a bit tonight to improve but found nothing - I did see one 57.6xx but it was on a dirty lap where I went wide just after the long righthander. This one really has me frustrated - no clean replays to watch and very inconsistent driving on my part makes for a bad start to my New Year.

I'll have to give it a few more goes to see if I can put any pressure on you other Div 2 guys for a podium this week.

What bothers me most on some of these replays is the blatant engine braking - if this is truly "The Real Driving Simulator", I honestly can't believe you could take a car going 160 mph and downshift from 5th to 2nd and not adversely effect the engine in some way. I realize its just a game but then how "real" can it actually be?

Welcome back spyrrari!!!! 👍

 

[EDK]

Late to my own party.

23.023
58.268

Have been as good as about 0.3 better on both splits, but could not turn it into a full lap.

Doesn't get any more pimpin' than that.

This confuses me a little, does it only work with clutch? In any car I've ever driven (in the game), bouncing off the limiter, like you would be in 2nd gear at those speeds, is no different than being in neutral, there's no engine braking advantage at all.

 

[iCyCo]

T1 23.019 22.881 22.868
T2 59.049 58.776 58.555

Just did about 25 laps putting in some good consistent laps, will do another 25 tomorrow try to shave off some more time.

I'm seeing where I'm losing time, but if I get it correct there I usually lose it elsewhere... need to string together the perfect lap.

Think I was a bit hasty in submitting my time.. just shaved off approx 1 sec, probably had the best sector 3 I'd probably have...

 

[Anghammarad]

Very nice splits Thomas

Thanks, unfortunately T3 is far from stellar. I had a lap with a 58.0XX T2 that was only a tenth slower at the line so there's a lot of time to be found in the twisty bits.
