GTP_WRS Week 70 : Coming Home

[Cats_PJs]

That's better. I tried for a hour and couldn't get close to what you had earlier. My wife asked me what was wrong, I replied with: cat with pajamas are to damn fast. I can't keep up.

That got some weird looks.

I'm glad you like it. This cat ain't that fast .

I beg to differ.

Those 4-wheel drum brakes are something else - either they don't grab or they lock up at the stock BB settings. I slightly modified them to 4/5, and came up with these splits:

30.650
58.334

 

[mr_lab_rat]

Addictive fun.

30.353
57.537

And five more tenths at the line.

Anyone know what that floating object is behind the cars in this picture. Is the Coming Home theme tied to a UFO?

Edit: I was seeing a white stripe going across the road . Thanks @Eggstor Its now glaringly obvious that its a sign attached to a pole.

I FEAR NO PAJAMA WEARING FELINE

30.200
57.250

Just kidding. I'm scared.

Only hundredths left for me at this point. Best t1 was a .18 and T2 could use a minor adjustment. T3 felt good and was a pb, but I'm sure I screwed it up like every week.

 

[MantasGT6]

Some improvement:
30.556
57.989

 

[Mires]

initial splits:

30.483
57.983

then by a restart came the frozen screen, will try to cut another at least .2 s to achieve my personal goal

 

[Gadge]

I made a slight improvement on my splits.

30.700
58.283

 

[Thematic]

Wind-it-up!

T1: 30.717
T2: 58.150

 

[Thematic]

T1: 30.683
T2: 58.183

S&A

 

[Tombstoneplt]

Tonight I try this monster....hehehe

Nap time now after the 0500 wake up for the NA race....

 

[Mires]

30.626
58.193

worse splits (by .2) but .15 better at the line. Yet still .6 visible to cut from current best

 

[Mires]

30.745
58.062

even worse T1, T2 slightly better, yet not the best, but .5 gain at the line. still minimum .3 to findin first and around .1 in second

edit: BB 3/4 for this run

 

[Napalm_LT]

First try

30.524
58.041

My friend, you have much to learn about jacking up a final sector. Please use this

Nice splits.

I'm in the advanced stages. I was .06 behind you and had a time that was 6 tenths slower than yours. I would like to think of myself as a professional.

Thanks. I would say .1' T2's are possible but not from my hands. My theoretical best is only .038 faster.

My friend, you have much to learn about jacking up a final sector.

This week's last sector is as crazy as the Daytona one. Half of a second can be easily lost by taking the T2 chicane too slow. I had a 57.3 T2 but the lap ended up two tents slower than my posted 57.5.

 

[ItsAllAboutWins]

I can't record a video, so I thought a brake marker and minimum apex speed guide might benefit some.

Sector 1: there's a 100 meter sign on the left before the curb, before that there's a white sign on the right. Brake at the 3rd fence post on the right. This should put you on the inside line, try to keep 65 or 66 mph. Once you get half way through the corner, you can full throttle without a spin.
Turn 2 is important as well. You can gain a bit of time by hooking your left tires into the left rumble and coming out just before it straightens.

Sector 2 - I haven't found a stationary braking point other than just a hair after the Sector 2 split. Try not to dip below 44-45 mph into the corner. As soon as you hit the dip, go half throttle and work your way to full just before you're straight.

The kink in sector 2 is really hit or miss and your sector 3 depends partially on a good run. Just before the kink, you'll see a rectangular shadow, hard on the brakes right before it ends, let off just before the turn, and try to run over the rumbles. When you hit the apex, apply a small amount of throttle to keep the rear from stepping out and full throttle when you hit the outside apex. Key speeds for this turn is 84/85 mph.

Sector 3 is all up to you

 

[MantasGT6]

Slower, but better :-)
30.617
58.067
Btw, Napalm's logo fits this week's TT perfectly ;-) Oh, and Thematic's logo fits every week's TT

 

[GTP_Jonjig]

Well... I thought my lap was ok, till I set this;

30.436
57.653

and an unexpected half a second at the line.. ..

 

[GTP_randy]

Been busy all week. Looking forward to getting started on this tonight. Looks like I've got alot of catching up to do.. Nice splits guys.

@ItsAllAboutWins thanks for the break down. I'm going to need it.

Bit rusty. Which pedal is the throttle again? (It is a pedal, right?)

Neither do I. Could be holiday weekend plans or something.

 

[Iceman220]

Exams ;(

 

[schmues_hh]

First run today. I have seen some low 57.7xx so I hope I can find some more time...

30.505

[Tombstoneplt]

Hate to ask this as I should find more time for the actual game but....

What's the quickest way to get the 1 Million credits to buy this week's TT car?
