GTP_WRS Week 88 : Wrong Way!

[Mr P]

Testing the water and it's a great combo

27.516
44.893

Can see this being a very addictive combo as the car is pretty wicked when you find it's bite points 👍

 

[JamCar0ne]

28.146
45.596

Turned the brakes down a bit

 

[Mr P]

up and down... up and down

27.541
44.824

Took a tenth at the line with this, but have seen a low 27.4 at T1 so gonna keep at it for a bit and see if I can clean it up 👍

 

[ItsAllAboutWins]

@Mr P bite points?? I've just been holding it wide open over each curb. If I can find time, I'm going to try out different things, I didn't do much of a session and I've already submitted this week in case I can't get back to it.

Now if only we can get a feline with sleeping attire to run this.

Zrodgreesklvn?

 

[Mr P]

Haha just where and when best to gear up for myself whilst readjusting to this track

27.491
44.724

Took another tenth at the line but lost some on the last turn... story of my life

 

[MadMax]

Gave this a quick try and got these splits:

27.567
44.950

brakes 7/10

 

[Bleached]

27.659
45.059

 

[Cats_PJs]

Well, I certainly don't want to disappoint.

27.464
44.814

Messed up t2-t3. I should be able to find some more seat time this week.

@Mires I was using 1/6 for most of the session....tried 1/9 as someone else had found that useful but it was slowing me down for some reason.

@Thematic Yeah, I will give it another go as I am not one to give up but am not expecting any improvements...the session was quite short for me at only 37 miles run but I was getting fed up of the slow times and the regular wall hitting! It's not so much how long I run for but more that I just can't see where I am losing all the time....I am assuming some of it is being lost with using the auto gearbox but I can't imagine it's all of it...which means I am fundamentally driving the car completely wrong and have no idea how to fix it. I wouldn't mind if I knew what was wrong but was just too slow to improve but to know something is very wrong and not know how to fix it is extremely frustrating

 

[mohitraina91]

27.554
44.954

Very poor sectors 2 & 3, but at least I know time's there to be made up. BB 7/10 on Pekka's suggestion.

 

[mr_lab_rat]

27.691
45.058

Not a very good final sector.

This is my third fastest T1. I had a miracle 27.491 once so now I know it's possible.

 

[Rikson]

First time I run this track since GT6 release.
And the splits show that..
28.194
45.761
You guys allways scare the 🤬 out of me when I take a look at the board after my first session

 

[nursemorph]

Lap submitted and accepted, though I can't express how embarrassed I feel about the lap...and I'm done for this week. Gave it another go today and I am even slower than I was yesterday...no idea what I'm doing with this car and how to go faster..every time I tried to go faster through corners, I just hit the wall on the exit. It seems that my limited skill at driving cars in this game doesn't extend to the Mini..which is a shame as I usually enjoy FF cars. Oh well, good luck to everyone for the rest of the week

 

[Mires]

tiny little improvement overall:

27.873
45.373

and .04 at the line. I doubt i can find some time elsewhere

 

[Meister Fetz]

27.631
44.898

 

[volvodriver]

This is really frustrating me, i can't figure out where I'm losing so much time in t1!

Happy with t2 and t3 when they come together nicely but even my best t1 is still in the 28's somehow.

28.934
46.567

This happens to everyone (maybe not aliens in D1G) eventually: Some weeks you are way off pace. Don't think much about it and certainly don't let it get to you, there will also be weeks when you are faster than usual 👍

 

[mr_lab_rat]

This is really frustrating me, i can't figure out where I'm losing so much time in t1!

Try to cut it as close as you can on the apex of turn one. There is significantly more grip on the concrete curbs.

 

[volvodriver]

Thanks Mike, I'll try and exploit it a bit more in the next session.

 

[Mires]

Next session over, didnt find any time, but definitely found my paint chip

the Maziora Plreiades (yup, that one with a typo )

 

[Mr P]

Volvodriver and nursemorph as mr_labrat says use the curbs at London, I religiously cut turns 1, 2 and 3 and the final turn using the curbs and skim as close as possible without contact and after a while it will become pretty natural you should find a good rhythm after a few attempts with faster exit speeds and the split times will be much better 👍 manual gears would definitely help for gearing up to 4th early for the left hand sweeper after T1 and a few other places too.. Keep at it and Good luck!

forgot to say i was running with default brakes 5/5 👍

 

[mr_lab_rat]

Wow, that looks cool Mires.

I repaint the car after each session so my leaderboard looks like Skittles
For the online race it will likely be my traditional traffic cone paint scheme (Arancio Atlas orange with white roof and wheels).

 

[Ed_Night]

My first WRS win was with a FF car, so i had to give it a go.

27,266
44,516

T1 is my fastest by over 1/10th , i'm probably done.

 

[Mr P]

Great splits Ed 👍 gonna try some more tonight but those splits are damn fast 👍

 

[GTRacer22]

I've got some work to do...

28.244
45.611

 

[Harsk100]

I have made the following split times with Tthe Braking Balance set to 1/6:

28.6
46.2

 

[mr_lab_rat]

I don't think the leadearboad script will pick those up. Please post your splits including the thousandths -

xx.xxx
yy.yyy

 

[GTRacer22]

Question regarding curbs: The OP says hard surfaces are track, so does that mean the concrete is track? I'm slightly confused.

Ups! Sorry.

I have made the following split times with Tthe Braking Balance set to 1/6:

28.561
46.153

I believe that I go those lap splits... I'm not really sure. But I know that the Sector 1 was 28.6 seconds and that the Sector 2 was 46.2 seconds.
