GTP_WRS Week 8 : Slip Slidin' Away

Switched to TC0 from 1 and found that it allowed for better cornering of the tight right-hander leading into the chicane. However, overall times with and without TC have been similar for me. Need to get Sector 3 right consistently now to help bring down total lap time.

Well here I was about to give up after last night. In a 35 lap stint this morning before work I ran 3 laps faster than my previous best. I actually almost put a perfect lap together. Hit T1 and T2 but left about .2 at T3. Went in too hot on that right hander, was a little excited after seeing first 2 sectors. Still was fastest lap of day.

I’m calling time on this one, away now for the weekend so submitting with what’s on the board. I have to say, this week has been an absolute blast pirouetting around this little track, thanks again to all the admins and stewards for the great organisation

Pre weekend splits - chipping away bit by bit (when not spinning round & round.....)........still need better exit from hairpin and more speed crossing the line and perhaps by the end of Monday I'll break into 15.9 for T1......

BB-1, TCS & ABS off

I never intended for you guys to be happy with this one.

 

[Never2fast1]

I never intended for you guys to be happy with this one.

Well I am happy with this one. .

But I also typically like the tail spinning cars, my second favorite so far was Brands Hatch with the Mercedes.

There may be something wrong me..........

... thats the 'fun' part of doing tt's, after a great lap you still think you can do better..

Yes, I keep catching myself saying "one more lap", about 20 times.

Don’t we all? It doesn’t help when you are right behind your fastest lap ghost & you can see where to gain a little extra time but can’t quite manage it

That is a great line.
Absolutely true and large part of why I keep falling asleep in afternoon.

TCS 0?

 

[mickyevs]

TCS 0?

No, I had it on 1 when I fired up tonight and just left it there. Normally run 0 except race cars when I normally use 1-3 (GT6).

At mo:
ABS weak (I'm assuming that's probably equivalent to 1 on GT6)
TCS. 1
BB. 1

Incidentally, I've found ABS to be acceptable here in GTS, whereas, in GT6 it seemed to lock up immediately.

Try 0 and watch it drop.

Sunday. I have a window on Sunday... Oooooohhh, butterfly......

BB +1 TCS 0 abs default

First 15 laps, figuring out how to drive this beast, I'll try more tonight and this weekend.

I typically race with bumper cam but have been having more success driving cockpit for some reason it gives me a better sense of when I'm about to lose the traction.

Welcome, man, I believe I've been in a few Sport mode races with you. Interesting tip about cockpit view.

 

[Mires]

Hmm, it may be just a placebo, but back in time (before 1st week of WRS in Sport) when i tried the cockpit view in some quali TT's for FIA test races, car i drove started to feel more calm, like it gave me some kind of little more grip, or some sort of aid. Nothing much like you can gain with this, its just the feel.

Never tried it again since, as sticked with bumper cam for the mirror and the MFD in middle between gauges (instead of on the side as in other views).

 

[Never2fast1]

68 laps and I actually hit my optimal lap time.

This might be it for me. I am moving way to high up on the leader board. It is getting hard to breath.

Is the car not suppose to have paint on the left quarter panel?

Edit: this is with TC 0, ABS weak, BB -2
