Getting better and better, first two splits near my limit now, but still lot of time in the rest of the lap. Enough for today, continue tomorrow

Might have to dust off my PS3 for this one

First try. Good fun throwing the RUF around on this track.

Am I making Fetchy work too hard? First run as well.

 

[ItsAllAboutWins]

@RacingOtaku86 yea, that didn't turn out well for fetchy. I only think the seconds work up to 199 or maybe 119

Yeah, it looks like he's not ready for times past 120 seconds in this format.

Sorry about the double post. Made some decent progress tonight.

Not quite enough for Bart's T-shirt but close

Put a few laps in on this tonight. First half isn't too bad but the 2nd half needs lots of work!

TT 's don't count, you'd have to race me for it

Restarts are plentiful and completed laps are few and far between but bloody loving this combo.

Banker lap set, been almost a second up at T6 but I'm not bothered about stringing it all together yet... the second half of the lap had a few heart-stopping moments though

I'm really enjoying this car. It has just the right amount of power for helping towards learning the track.

Had my first crack at it today after sunday's palaver and work last night.

[Thematic]

Only a small distance done. In the second half I stuffed up the braking-downhill-to-fast-chicane. Shouldn't be too difficult to leave this first record (ghost) behind and keep it there.

Break balance five / four (ABS 0)

Slow start to the lap with a better finish. The circuit reminds me a little of the Isle of Man TT Course

[Gravitron]

Only 1 more RUF left...

I love this car, will give it a thrashing, for sure. 👍

 

[nursemorph]

This has got to be one of the most enjoyable yet frustrating tracks ever....very technical and requiring concentration yet one slip up can cause you to lose 8 minutes+ of lap! The way the game red flags a lap is beyond my understanding at this point.....I got a red lap for going about a metre off track at one point (losing me a lap that was 11 seconds quicker than my best!) yet driving head on into a barrier at 50mph due to too late braking earlier in the lap is completely fine and doesn't turn it red Anyway, managed 1 green lap again yesterday which was a bit quicker and it at least lifts me off the bottom of the leaderboard for now...still enjoying the combo though...the RUF is enjoyable to drive and is manageable although needs some careful throttle at times:

S1: 35.700
S2: 1:16.933
S3: 2:12.550
S4: 3:08.000
S5: 4:02.517

Found another second at the line.

Funny to see P2-P5 within 5 tenths on such long lap. But it's only Wednesday.

Beginning to pick out troublesome corners now.

Just curious who else has pet names for corners? For instance, there is 'Lambo corner' in sector 5. I call it this because in one of the sierra time rallys there is a lambo that slows considerably for the corner which is very aggravating if you are behind it. Also, 'windmill hill' of sector 6.

 

[numbnuts70]

Also, 'windmill hill' of sector 6.

Haha, or 'wind turbine incline' as I like to call it.

EDIT: My current splits are probably my limit on the first half of the Sierra so I'll just try to maximise the last half and look forward to the races later.

 

[mr_lab_rat]

I got bunch of names:

Lap wrecker
Tire cooker
and one more that rhymes with those

As far as splits I could probably do a 4:52.xxx T6 but I also need to focus on the back half.

[mcsqueegy]

Most of my corner names are usually a sweary rant at the fact I just crashed on it

Here's a T1 video even though it's not very relevant on such a long lap:
