[dangerzone641]

When I saw the title I thought we'd be using the actual delorean haha

We're tricky like that.

 

[MadMax]

We're tricky like that.

Yep.

 

[mr_lab_rat]

The title is more of a tribute to McSqueegy for suggesting this combo but the car is as boxy as the delorean and it can sure fly.

Alternatives were McAudi, McQuattro, Killer B, or my favourite - Rohrlcopter

Paging @Nail-27 so you don't have to wonder with bated breath to find out what next week's races will be.

Already watching thread...but thanks...I think...

 

[GTRacer22]

First run.

26.745
45.095

 

[volvodriver]

27.154
45.671

Gotta keep reminding myself to keep off the handbrake!

 

[ItsAllAboutWins]

@volvodriver ?? I can't keep my car from sliding around when I touch the brakes.

 

[volvodriver]

When it comes to rally cars i tend to go more power to the front end, flick the back out to get the rotation through the hairpin and then floor the power to pull it through. Habit from old Colin McRae games. Not always the fastest but good fun haha.

@Famine has asked us to make a weekly post for the new WRS events, and he's helped make my mess of a draft into something legible on the News blog:

Thanks Famine!

Today marks 4 years of WRS online events that mirror the TT's, but guys like @mcsqueegy, @PASM, @MadMax, and of course @EDK were running online races back in GT5 Prologue (when I was still afraid to join ). @Mr P may be the only member still participating since the beginning of the TT's, almost 13 years ago.

Thanks everyone for all the fun!

i was there with @Mr P way back in the day but i wasn't very consistent about participating that much

 

[Mr P]

Haha! has it really been 13 years? I feel old now

I don't take part as often as I used to due to work commitments at the club... but I like to pop back now and again and take part in some of the more interesting non tuners and will continue to do until I get fed up with gaming as a pass time and take up dominoes and bowls

Some Great times and memories in those 13 years 👍

Everyone make sure you're using the variant of Eiger that is NOT weather variable. I almost made that mistake.

Plus, I'd never driven the car before so I found when I reset the suspension to default it changed the value slightly (rear toe).

 

[volvodriver]

Did you have it as a prize car? That seems strange to change the suspension values, i'll have to check mine because i bought it especially for this.

I can't remember whether it was a prize car or not.

It changes the rear toe from 0.20 to 0.60 iirc, as it would've had to do with an update or something, you're probably ok if you've only just bought the car but better to double check I suppose.

 

[numbnuts70]

26.119
44.353

BB 5/5

 

[mcsqueegy]

Gave another quick go with different brake settings and stopped trying to recreate Tokyo Drift for a while...

26.200
44.333

Splits that look rounded but aren't! Need to keep it steady to improve my T1 time but the Audi just begs to be thrown around

 

[Meister Fetz]

IF you can't get a nice t1 at least drive it with style

26.684
44.802

 

[nursemorph]

S1: 26.900
S2: 45.284

 

[JamCar0ne]

[roamer2629]

First splits. Still unsure about diff distribution.
26.650
45.150

 

[Mires]

Initial splits after 25 km of messing up:

27.131
45.547

default diff setup, BB changed to 3/5

 

[Mires]

26.786
45.103

Slight improvement at line

 

[numbnuts70]

26.050
44.167

Not much more in it for me, maybe a little in the bottom hairpin and a little in the last double apex right.

 

[Thematic]

After about 200 km:

27.067
45.700

But now I got to fly, that session was extended beyond reason.

 

[Rikson]

26.400
44.600
Very tempting to floor this classic icon,still not the fastest way to go around though

 

[Mr P]

Not much better at the splits but made .1 at the line with this...

26.050
44.233

Every time i'm blue at T2 I stuff up the last section somewhere will try some more before the deadline.

Great splits guys 👍
