GTP_WRS Week 76 : Lapping the Latest Lotus through London

[Shigegaki]

This car is pretty fun considering its always a guessing game if the car will start to lose grip after cutting the corners.

T1 - 0'25.701
T2 - 0'41.561

Hopefully I can cut more time off both sections, and it's only the beginning of the week.

What happened to your G27?

It was making an annoying screaching sound after 10 minutes of use.
I called Logitech and I send my G27 to them. It should arrive this week.


Sorry for this thread hijacking.

Fetchbot didn't want to import my bad performance from last week, but I told her it was ok, so she's importing again




PS: The real reason was a small parsing error in the official results for week 74 causing Fetchbot to abort for the sake of integrity

 

[Shigegaki]

Don't worry about it Kaching

Aww Fetchbot is getting love again!

After a couple of laps:

T1 - 0'26.202
T2 - 0'42.914

Much room for improvement.

 

[EDK]

First splits for me.

41.620

I love getting into a rhythm at London.

Old ploy:....there isn't one...




spy.

I only know the lap times got faster after the update. It's one of the reasons we changed the F430 qualifier, it was suddenly possible to go 2 seconds faster per lap.

Which is because the cars could go faster around corners if I'm not mistaken, but it was more difficult to get the power down, better though.

First splits, gonna be a tight one this week

Followed by an epic 'FAIL' of a final corner!! Great combo 👍

 

[Denur]

A bit better T1, but still room for improvement.

[Fastas]

First session, and I feel I have a lot to learn about the first corner

T1: 25.785
T2: 41.455

 

[sems4arsenal]

[gtp_wasntme]

Wow, last place again. You guys go ahead. I'll tie a broom to my car and make sure there's no debris on the track from me hitting all the freakin walls!

 

[NielsG]

Another nice one.

First splits:

26.585
42.602

Looks like I'm losing way too much at the begining.

 

[Fastas]

I'm sure I read somewhere in here that this is a combo where you just want to take a few extra laps; well, I did and I nailed it too!

T1: 25.344
T2: 41.022

I blitzed my target times already so time to revise them. I didn't even come close to the walls, I'd better check it didn't jump into standard physics

D.

 

[LeftyWright69]

Man do I feel like Malasus in January

T-1 26.096
T-2 42.149

 

[Crispy74]

New splits,

25.584
41.344

 

[Silvadeus]

T1: 26.461
T2: 43.250

I've been working on it the last couple nights (bar prep has kept me from being able to put up any times the last several weeks). Hoping I can improve on these. It's definately a fun combo, but it has been difficult, I keep tapping the walls. Good luck everyone!

 

[DOUQA]

This car is fun. Londons walls are not.

[Shigegaki]

Which bar do you work at in San Diego?

Update splits, shaved a nice amount off my overall time. Still trying to figure out how to take the big left u-turn

T1 - 25.733
T2 - 41.478

 

[dranddad]

Man you’ve all gone crazy at London, diverter value diaphragm went in my combi boiler so tried to fix it myself, now paying the price can’t even move my legs so missed a day at London and to top it all, I’ve a leak on one of the compression joints, so have to do it all over again tomorrow.

I’ll have to catch up soon I think, Fastas is racing away.

wrong bar... I'm finishing my 3rd year of lawschool

 

[Shigegaki]

Gotcha, my bad haha.

 

[LinPark]

First splits this week:

25.522
41.246

Really having issues in that first sector primarily with the sharp left and sharp right - its gonna be scary if I can find that missing .25 there and tie it all together. Good Luck All!!!

If I may; on the left hander I have been using the change in the white line marking on the road as a braking point. On the right hander I use the change in the barrier condition on the left wall. A little experimenting with how you brake will also pay dividends.

 

[01GTP]

First set of splits from a car that's a bit wider then I'm use to.
It's bit wider compared to other cars when using the bumper cam.
I seem to hit walls with the ass end mostly, at first thinking I made the corner and then, bump.

Anyway, it's still fun.

[MarkWebber]

Had a few sessions at this, which resulted in a decent lap with splits of:
25.073 (.043)
40.520

Last corner lost probably a tenth to my personal best effort, but it's hard to commit fully on a fast T2'er
