GTP_WRS Week 93 : Willoween

[Mr P]

I changed the time to 4:20, we are in California after all.

When i loaded this last night I changed the time also from default 7:00am to 6:55am just to take the sun glare off the track... It's amazing what difference 5 minutes in GT makes

👍

Chipping away some time, now with BB 2/8, thanks @GTP_Patrick1. 👍 This will be a test of smoothness.

[Mr P]

Not as smooth to T1 today but found a tiny bit in the middle taking .1 off my laptime

28.827
1'01.557

BB 5/5

That last turn is crazy!! had a belting T2 and absolutely stuffed that potshot last turn

...going back for more

 

[GTPGhost]

My first splits , surprisingly a very fun combo

28.845
1'01.779

Another great combo

 

[mr_lab_rat]

Wow, wait up guys
I might need to reset my goals (finish within 0.5s of the aliens for every minute)

 

[Mr P]

Just stuffed this on that damn last turn...

28,665
1'01,501

This is the ghost I will chase for the duration of this event as there's another .2 with a good ending

I'm hooked!

 

[GTP_Patrick1]

Messed up the last turn a bit, but pretty good time thru T2 for me. With a better T3 thinking maybe a tenth or so to get.

28.923
1'01.823

 

[Mr P]

28.719
1'01.536

Done for now before the men in white coats come to pick me up Will try again at the weekend

Some really addictive combo's being posted.. Great job by the Race Admins 👍

 

[GTP_Patrick1]

Beat my other lap by .045, I knew that T3 was not good. Who knows maybe I can string them all together, if not pretty happy with this lap.

28.896
1'01.863

Edit used BB 2 7 and TC on 1. I don't think TC helps, but I have found on slower FF cars it really does not hurt. When I get stuck I start changing things. On quick cars I sometimes start messing with ABS, have no idea if it works, but sometimes I just need to think it will.

down to a

[mr_lab_rat]

[suprajef]

[RuddRacer]

just want to show off that middle sector:

Great time Mike. And just when I thought my middle sector was good

Updated splits

29.016
1'01.900

 

[nursemorph]

S1: 29.147
S2: 1:02.363

Edit: Forgot to say that I gained 4 and a half tenths at the line so a reasonable day but still slow

 

[Mr P]

Great middle sector Mike keep pushing and find where you are losing a bit of speed to T1 and your on for a great result if the last turn is being kind to you mate 👍

for the record my leaderboard screen top 4 times are separated by .003, second and third best laps are identical
It's quite annoying but it shows how tough it is to nail that last turn without scrubbing speed in any way as the speed loss can be devastating on a great T2

All good fun though... Keep pushing guys this will be a close finish all over the results methinks

 

[Ed_Night]

Like the result of week 53.

 

[Mr P]

Just went to archives... and yep just like that hopefully! but with my name at the top this time :tup:

3rd gear at the top of the hill ? or 2nd ? can't tell

On entrance to the uphill I shift to 3rd gear going up and around the hill. I lift slightly at the top of the hill about mid way on track, and get my right tires on the line entering downhill and try to get on gas as quick as possible, I then shift to 4th at rev limiter coming down the hill. Get as far to the right as possible for the next left (I put 2 tires slightly in the dirt or on the curb), I tap the brakes and shift to 3rd. You want to end up over to your left by the curbing, if you do it correctly you will be on full gas before or at the apex. That turn is worth quite a few tenths if done right. For the last turn, it is feel, once it is time to start slowing down, I tap the brakes, shift to 4th, and try to stay as tight to the curb on the right and get on full gas as quickly as you can. I can vary 2 tenths on that turn depending how well I do it. Tighter in that turn is better than going too wide, you will scrub too much speed off. At least that is what I am doing.

 

[monkeywall]

Cheers @GTP_Patrick1 couldn't have asked for more. was sometimes using 2nd to turn the car in order to cut the corner on the way down. But not for my fastest lap 3rd nicely all the way

 

[mr_lab_rat]

Wow, what a write up Patrick.
I also stay in 3rd gear for all turns in the middle sector.

 

[Mr P]

28.724
1'01.474

Finally I took a reasonable .150 off my best save so I'm probably near my limit, another tenth or so tops for me 👍

Cracking combo

 

[mr_lab_rat]

Nice, what speed do you carry through turn 1? You seem to be the only one being able to do 28.7
Most of my laps are right around 29.0
