Finally some splits I'm not mortally embarrassed by! This must be the toughest combo I've done, Makes that Viper feel like a go-kart!!

T1 - 10.383
T2 - 29.127

Much respect Andy 👍 I know how hard you have been working on this one :cheers:
 
Another Floridian in the mix - HURRAY!!!! Nice job mate. 👍 My splits are still so bad that I haven't posted them yet. I was actually a few clicks away from selling every Lotus in my garage last night.

Make sure you're using the right Lotus. You would not be the first to make that mistake this week. Needs to be 111R, and Tuned. If it's not both, it's not the right car. :sly: If none of that helps, try buying a purple one. :dopey:
 
I ran some 40 laps and I made a decent time but I can't control the car. That is a really clomplex duo.

10.141
28.515
 
10.146
28.759

Decent lap, only one bit of sideways action. Need to be smoother in T1, and somehow find out how to take the long left in T2. Loads of work to do, but something to work with.

Sad to say, I checked all that and even bought a purple one because I'm paranoid. I should be able to find something worthy of posting tonight - if not, I'll have a good $250k back in my account after selling all these Lotus cars. :lol:
 
This car is so twitchy. Massive respect for anyone using the pad for this week. Stick at it, I did 10 laps yesterday and couldn't get under a high 29 at T2. 10 more laps tonight and bam 28.7 in T2. It will come, just work at it, most importantly, work with the car, it's a tricky wee bugger.
 
Final run for tonight

T1: 09.958
T2: 28.226

:drool: Fantastic!👍

10.293
28.896

Also, does anyone know why I'm still shown as Division 0 on the leaderboard? Just curious.

Edited for new splits

Ok, going to post these up for now - might be the best I can manage this week:

10.136
28.847

Thanks!

It will update tonight, as long as Jack has already added you to the divisions thread. 👍 (The divisions only update once every 24 hours).
 
I do not need to test that to know that even with all driving aids on full I would not make it through the very first corner. I have nothing but the utmost respect for the people who can drive any car, not just this, in GT5 with a dual shock and if my joke offended you I apologise unreservedly.

No harm done,
I tend to take games too seriously :lol:

Kevin is correct that the division info is updated only once a day. But you're not in the official registry yet so the system can't find your division.

When you show up in the official registry (as GTP_Wizard) the division will be correct within the 24 hours.
 
Awesome splits CT! 👍

Splits from my best lap so far.

10.010
28.359

I've seen faster T1's and T2's but this lap has the best T3 by quite a margin.
Luckily we have a long weekend coming up so I can have a few more goes at this.
It gets quite addictive once you get used to the car's quirky handling.
 
10.458
29.380
Not good, especially not good considering I had a small slide on the hairpin foolowing T2. Hopefully I'll have some time to try to improve.
 
This car and track is so fun :)

T1: 10.176
T2: 28.725

First split is not a problem, but I cant figure out the best way around those hairpins yet.
 
Why is everyone faster than me :(

Div 4 and Div 3 bronze have me whipped!
Fuji must be my track, qualified well, did ok in the R8 event, and I've been going down hill since.

I just cant break into the .28 T2s, and if I cant do that how much time am I losing in the last sector? I think I might re-do all the licence tests. Try and figure out why I haemorrhage so much time
 
New splits, two tenths at the line. I've had much better T1s, with a best of 9.961, so there's still plenty in there.

T1: 10.052
T2: 28.372

It's going to be difficult to grab a podium this week.
 
Settled into a groove tonight, and went faster by turning the ghost off :dopey:

10.034
28.486


and a decent chunk off at the line 👍
 
Did my first 20 or 30 laps, most of which ended in what would be rather expensive (good this is a game!) :lol: So just to get my slow arse onto the board here some first splits :guilty:

10.385
29.256
 
Nice going Philip 👍
You have 3 Weetabix this morning?
Great splits mate :cheers:

Thanks Phil.

Not them I'm after, trying more on lap times but they just keep popping up.

New times

T1: 10.061
T2: 28.482

Phillip.
