GTP_WRS Week 70 : AuTopless

We all do

So frustrating...

Perfect car, interesting track, and oh ya that first corner is cray cray, I'm amazed I've gotten down to a 29.1
Trying different times of day I find that noon gives good road surface detail, especially going into turn 1 where you can see the skid marks entering it, I'm using those as brake markers but as I'm lost in turn 1 not sure what's best.
Seems like Kev @EDK has the best time at T1, maybe he could share a video of it

Might or might not, likely that's a typo.

Don't think I will make it back to the console until tomorrow, so I will just delete my splits for now, to avoid confusion.

Observation from slow guy
Turn 1 is kinda funky because your trying to hit an apex that you can't see to gauge turn in point.
But...I don't think that's where all the time is lost or gained.

The front straight is a major percentage of your T1 time. Hint, hint, hint.

Happy to take .210 off at the line. on my last 7 lap stint.

Rev this one until an inch from the limiter

Well... just realised this is on the short course. I'll have to do some new laps, but if it's as much fun as the long course then it shouldn't be a problem!

I just removed your splits, due to this. After @EDK removed his splits, that left yours from the full course as the fastest on the board, and I'd guess that was because the full course allows faster Start/Finish line speeds because the final corner is not as tight.

Ah OK. No worries! Overall lap time would have been a lot slower! Will hopefully get some laps in this evening or tomorrow.

Lost time in the second sector but gained half a tenth across the line. Maintaining a good smooth speed around the hairpin on second sector is the way to go for a good second sector split. Not easy to do though.

Need to find that tenth in second sector tomorrow, had a few high .9 First sectors now but tough to string it all together in a slow car.

Slower splits faster lap ..

Took .1 off my previous best with a sweet last section 👍 still .2 for me to get back early in the lap 👎

GL all

Lost some in t1 but better overall

Slight improvement but every little helps with this combo.

Figured I'd sneak in here to finally get my third event in the books...

29.114

Even after my time away I still get a best lap from a slower T1, typical

I was a little skeptical at first about the car choice for this combo. It’s actually really fitting and fun. Momentum is key. +2 BB

 

[geeTeye]

Starting to get the hang of the track. Still taking a pasting in turn 1 though.

I'm finally getting a chance to get on the forums as my wife has had the PC tied up doing tax prep stuff all week.

Had the next tenths in both splits but that final turn killed it

Took half a tenth off woot woot!!! 👍

Not the greatest of t1s but found half a tenth in the final sector. It's so hard to get it all together been a car length ahead only to throw it away in the last turn.

 

[suprajef]

I really hate turn 1

Welcome back my favorite alien! @mcsqueegy missed you!

 

[Mr P]

I really hate turn 1

On the map that bend looks so easy.. but on approach for braking it's one of the most deceptive and awkward right angle turns I can remember in any GT game? It's that little bump on the inside of the rumble I will never get my best lap here simply because as soon as I get a low 29.0 (which is about 1 in 20 laps) I religiously stuff the lap somewhere after it haha

GL with it guys this one is tough 👍

 

[GTP_randy]

Been giving this one a try. No where near you guys in T1.. a.2 has been my best.
If someone could post a T1 video that would be awesome.

What’s best BB?

Exactly, brake late, rear end gets loose, brake early, lose time!

I use 0 @GTP_randy
