GTP_WRS Week 77 : Gordini!

[EDK]

@EDK

I see your saying the red parts are not part of the track. Does that mean you can’t touch it at all. Or is just like the curbs, with 2 wheels on the tarmac and your good?

Second thing you have said. 3 on red is bad, 2 on red with 2 on track or rumble is good.

Sorry about that

Got my new wheel delivered and beat my old save within 5 laps with slower splits all due to the last section having no problems.. will update properly later but already seen some faster T1's.. just gotta jigsaw it all together! 👍

I'll be back later after I've had a good session but a new wheel is like new shoes nice and tight.. wish they would keep this feel and not fall apart haha anyway.. I'm more than happy with this purchase

Awesome congrats with the new wheel good to hear it’s feels nice and tight. Not so happy to hear you beat your best lap in 5 laps that makes me nervous

Maybe that's why you were so slow

Some awesome spilts mate I must go back to the drawing board

Gotta say your T1 is pretty damn fast Dennis 👍 my best is .297 so far but not in best save.... should be a close finish by the end

Thanks but the 2 combined yours are better.
I had a lucky .20x earlier in the week so I knew it was possible but doing it a whole different think and there is a lot of lap to go after that. So I ruined a few .1's before I hit it in a lap that I improved on. Downside is my 2nd sector sucks. So fingers crossed my last sector is way better then yours.

Just threw away 1:16

Unlucky Dennis I know the feeling well

Lost speed everywhere after seeing that T1 beat my lap by another .1at the line... but still .2 left before I am done 👍

@Mr P , affordable solution. Gt Omega wheel stand with deck chair. Even has slide out side table with drink holder

Cheers oldguy 👍 I might look into something like this so as I can race downstairs instead of in the spare box room

This is a solution I can get behind... And possibly afford. Are those stands any good?

Okay now that's enough

Great spits 👍

How the @#$&%^#@$ can you screw up a 37.03x T1 🤬

Not to bad, G29 pedals bolt to floor plate, steering uses the clamps at the back and 2 bolt holes at the front, clamping isn't an issue here. Had to zip tie chair to stand at base to keep from pushing stand forward under hard braking.
Not as rigid as what I design and build for a living but it's good bang for the buck!👍
They even have an affordable seat and mounts that you can add later.

I believe these to be PBs for the week, although my T3 was not my best.

Submitting.

Well my times are rubbish compared to everyone else but I'll submit my replay tonight. Had a lot of fun and learnt a heck of a lot. Thanks for all the advice and have to say this is a really friendly forum. 👍
Last night I did a few laps using my controller and automatic (which is what I'm used to) and couldn't beat my best time I got using manual transmission on the wheel so that was encouraging - although I did get close... I may do that in the future - use controller and automatic to nail down the lines then move over to manual on the wheel. Just so I'm not trying to juggle everything at once.
On to week 78!

The replay will only be required to be uploaded from tomorrow when the unofficial results are posted. If you upload before then you will be excluded from the results, which would be a shame as you've put in the hard yards.

That's exactly what I did for the first few weeks and then once I got used to it, I dropped the controller like a hot potato.

Cheers and good luck @SuperMegaGeek!

Ah thanks for the heads up!

Would like to see this car used again for the record.. I never used it before this combo but damn it's a great drive!!

Will be a great week wherever you put this car

Lucky for you, I am also a fan.

I normally would have used it on a tighter track, but I think it was a nice fit here and a different kind of challenge.

I agree 100%...need to bring this car back again:tup:

Improved a very small amount (.004) at the line with so so initial splits. Very good last sector and corner. Almost gave up on the lap.

Need to string together my good T1and T2 times.
