Damn, you are fast :/

Welcome to WRS But I'm sure you'll find there are a lot of members willing to help you get faster.

Cannot stay away from Laguna... I see this ending up like the last time I ran it

28.767
55.980
1'18.703

Still a few tenths to find 👍

 

[monkeywall]

I've tried and tried to get round this with a T3 less than 1,21 but I just can't get the beast to stick to a fast line. Can any body please give me a pointer towards BB I'm using 4/10.

 

[mr_lab_rat]

Not really. You just need to get used to the weight. I'm using 5/10 BB. Don't overdrive the truck, brake early and accelerate early. Maximize turning radius of the turn under the hill (after T2).

Thanks @mr_lab_rat I think this week might be my biggest challenge so far

 

[RS__96__oO]

Time to get started. I think I've figured T1, but the rest of the lap still needs much work, especially T3

28.696
55.929
1'18.962

EDIT: Just checked the replay again, T3 was so slow because my stupid braking pedal was sticking again

 

[RS__96__oO]

Had another session After gym, lost much time in t4... Around 2 tenths left overall.

slightly better lap (-.115 at the line), happy with sub 20 T3, not happy overall. steering not only with hands, but also with full body, eyes and telekinetic powers.

Fun combo. The car is slow enough that it doesn't feel weird on CH.

I can't work like this I told you not to go any faster
Great splits Mike!! Thinking about getting a truck already?

 

[Spirit]

Pickup trucks: reminding me I'm only fast in racing cars. I'll give it one more try tonight but not much more time for me.

 

[wingman1659]

The exit of turn 10. Those strips are dirty right?

 

[RS__96__oO]

Only improving in steps of hundredths... I want to nail that lap NOW!

Nope, rumble strips are ok. Only where there are no rumble strips the white line is the edge of the track.

Most of you guys are probably too young to remember this, but the "Canyonero" episode on "The Simpsons" was a parody of what happened with the 90's Ford Explorers fitted with Firestone tires. Dealers recommended decreasing tire pressure to achieve a smoother ride, which in turn made the tires break when attempting to turn at speeds above 60mph causing many accidents and quite a scandal at the time.

I remember that episode lol.

 

[GTRacer22]

After further review, I found my lap a bit dirty.

New splits:

Smoking the front tyres;

[Eggstor]

One step forward last week, ten steps back this week:

29.450
57.650
1'21.317

And the truck looks so good in all-chrome too. Maybe it's that extra weight

 

[CinnamonOD]

Glad to see my splits are between all of yours, I still haven't done a lap I could be proud of, I'll give it another try later tonight, and hopefully get a good lap .

 

[wingman1659]

This lap is clean...I think. I'll definitely be trying for a cleaner looking lap next.
