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

[mickyevs]

T1: 41.750
T2: 1'09.950

Used DS3 controller because find it easier to catch a slide and this car can REALLY slide.

Gained a second at T1, almost a second and half at T2 and end of lap. Promotion seems to be helping me. I need it.

Bit more consistency coming....

39.790

Still 5/5 ABS 1

There's the Chris we all know!

 

[Doodle]

Looks like you're back in form Chris. 👍

(at my abilities in a RR)

RR are not born equal; DMC is still easy as fly at 300 bhp. A310 is another contraption, whoa.

I always found RUF's very difficult to control through the various versions of GT including 6; so, this week I dont expect to achieve good results. However, in real life Porsche 911 is probably the most used car in motorsports and for a long time. Its a icon and so my congrats to people of WRS for their choices 👍

[AspecBob]

So, just ran a few more laps and finally got a lap I was happy with for my first splits (beating my previous best by half a second).

40.633
1'06.967

Strange how people on the LB with a similar T2 have much better T1s... I guess it means my 2nd split is pretty good

 

[Kelly]

Slight improvement...

40.660
1'07.378

seen better so not giving up 👍

And the award for most ambitious exit from the chicane goes too ......
ME!!!!!

Hmmm....I'm sure cars go quicker with at least one wheel on the ground . Looks like I have a new challenge as I was getting bored with "punt one of the blocks from the chicane down the hill" game as I achieved my goal of punting it to the bottom of the hill....now I can try the "getting the car to do a somersault" game. Thanks for giving me something to relieve the frustration 👍

@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

 

[mr_lab_rat]

I'm slowly getting better as I'm learning the track. I experimented with aids:

ASM made me slower as it killed lift off oversteer that helps this car turn
TCS at 1 didn't really help much with spinning out on exits

I'm also gonna try the DS3 and let the rear end slide more but I don't think it will be faster.

40.847
1'07.797

Messed up the final sector so not much time gained at the line.

I'm blaming it on the pain killers.

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

 

[Gravitron]

These aren't my best splits by any stretch, but a decent half-second at the line:

40.067
66.317

Chris' trailing-throttle-while-braking advice is much appreciated!

 

[nursemorph]

I'm blaming it on the pain killers.

It's a good excuse....I use it every week to explain why I'm not very quick 👍...well, that and the fact that, even when not on painkillers, I'm not very quick . Still, I like to use it as an excuse

Oh, and a general information announcement for everyone:

3 glasses of red wine does not make you faster . I tried it and I was half a second slower...which was faster than I expected but still....though I did manage to control the car better. I, therefore, deduce that you only drive better after drinking lager and/or bitter.....back in the days of the PS1 the only time I was any good at Tekken was at 2 in the morning after about 12 pints of Caffreys...I was awesome at it then

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.

Truth be told, if about five people per division submit a lap, it makes for a pretty poor event.

Now I remember why I don't choose rear engined cars for racing.

Will this help?

oooo pretty 👍

 

[KlubbinJay]

Im gonna give it another shot to setup a better time as i already did!

 

[Stevious]

Stop it already. You are like a cut snake on this race!

Cop a load of this!

Yep double checked its OK. I must be getting OCD, checking the real grip settings all the time. WRS is making me paranoid!

 

[Nemo Niente]

How to NOT slide through the chicane at Nürburg:

 

[KlubbinJay]

grrrr.....

39.673
65.871

this is what i drove, but my PS3 need to be cleaned out of all the replays, games and music that i have at my PS3. I cant save my best replay at the moment! :'(

 

[Nemo Niente]

Bad quality, but ok.

 

[Thematic]

^ I've stumbled there as well, but the car instead arced sharply to the wall on the right, head-on.

 

[RS__96__oO]

Finally I got my arse in front of the wheel, lol.

This car is a beast Took a long time to get used to it.

 

[Serialf]

Bad quality, but ok.

Superb maneuver Henric
