GTP_WRS Week 8 : What R U FoRGeTtinG P/D?

[Nemo Niente]

Superb maneuver Henric

Thank you 👍
I don't think I did anything, except scream like a baby...

After a 15 lap run this afternoon, I almost gave this up for the week as I just couldn't find any time. Then, I figured I'd give brake bias 5/5 a go (hey, if some of the top guys are using it, there must be something to it right?) and, wow, what a difference a brake bias adjustment does make. I'm not sure I understand how going from 7/6 to 5/5 can result in shorter braking distances but I'm not too concerned by that.

So, 17 laps later, I managed to set 9 laps quicker than my previous best before today, set new PB's in every sector and shave half a second off my overall lap time....pretty good for 17 laps! I have also managed to shave 8 tenths off my previous best S2 split which was so shocking that I messed up the chicane....DOH! Anyway, now looking forward to finding more time with this and better ways to take the corners. I am, optimistically, thinking a 67.0 S2 split is entirely possible, though my 2 PB's combined is a .3 so maybe not, we shall see:

S1: 40.595
S2: 1:07.495

Bad quality, but ok.

haha.. even I've done that a few times.. just put a wheel on the grass.. going that fast.. sends the car why out of control.. very hard to catch that..

 

[GTP_RaceRyder]

Throttle control, 4/5, and luck.

Your guys' avatars keep making me thing someone triple posted

I'll be doing some more laps on this one today, I got a little improvement the other day with 4/6 BB *shrug* I think I'll try 6/8 and see if I can shrink the brake zones some more, but I think it's when/how I start to release the brake that deals the most damage against my ghost line.

I don't use abs, and they lock up around 6-7 range. The distance probably isn't going to shorten with higher values than that with abs.

Fetchy doesn't read edits. Doubleposting for splits is thus allowed.

Didn't know 👍

Hope to find some time tomorrow...

Hehe

I'm not sure I understand how going from 7/6 to 5/5 can result in shorter braking distances but I'm not too concerned by that.

One thing I can think of is 'placebo' - you think it works so it works
The other thing I can think of is that the CAR is sensitive to anything, it actually doesn't NEED a high braking balance.

My best lap was set using AT and Praiano's BB for the Yellowbird - 0/2

I have tried to repeat that lap, with higher BB and using MT, and I cannot...

I don't know why, but i can't seem to get motivated to run these past 2-3 weeks. I put down solid times in the focus and rocket but never submit because i never could get into it. Same thing this week.. i ran a couple of laps Sunday and just put the controller down even though i was making good progress. Someone knock some sense into me.. i am missing out on good events for no reason.

Brandon, pin your lugs back.

Your motivation is in your signature.

Now get back on track and spank our a#%+s, give those other Bazingaists something to be proud of.

👍👍👍👍

I second that, now that I know what LUG is

 

[mickyevs]

Gimme the suit!!! NOW! 👍

It's yours, I have 3 more in storage

 

[GranTurismo916]

My splits are at the top of D4, but I bet my lap will be at the bottom.

First ten laps.. nothing special.. this is ruf on a ds3

Thank you /what a relief/👍 took you long enough though, what ya been doing, building sandcastles?

Little rough with the ds3 to be smooth.

Yeah, life size, I've been building them on the grass verge adjacent to the back straight.

Yeah I guess you think you have the time playing now that you are not chasing me . they are pretty

 

[Serialf]

@Serialf : The key to getting a good time on this one is to be gentle. I use TCS 1 and when I first drove it this week (having never used a RUF in game before), I thought it was going to be impossible but, while I'm certainly slower than a lot of people, I do find it fairly easy to control. Of course, controlling it over the course of a lap is a whole different matter but it is certainly possible

Thanks for your input, @nursemorph 👍; next friday I will get back home and start again - havent tried TCS 1 and didnt touch bb.
For now I am having fun just reading this forum and The Adventures of Morph's Muppets

Not playing, trying to discourage the hooligans that are racing on the grass.

What?! There are HOOLIGANS racing on the grass!?? Where?? Let me at them :::searches for his tire iron:::!

I hate rounding so much that from now on I will post my actual splits.

LoL don't know if I'm making them proud but the braking on this game is weird on a ds3 and i get frustrated. Its hard to be consistent. But thanks for the words of encouragement. 👍

Get t1, then t2 gets me.

Substituted a beer and some wine for pain killers. (yeah, this car is driving me to drink) Went quicker. Let's see what happens Saturday.

Looking for 2 tenths in both those sectors, and maybe half a tenth on the chicane... for once I got the last corner right!

 

[MisterWeary]

Time trialling at the end of a day really is a great way to get the busy-ness of work out of the mind for a while, it's almost meditative to punch out a few laps, if only I had the time to do it every day!

It looks like the main place I need to gain some time is in T1, I seem to have something wrong happening in there

Hopefully I'll get a chance to have another crack but I can feel the weight of my marking needing attention
