[8l23ub]

Fluffed turn 4 but found 2 tenths at the line, no work for me till Monday so I may sweat this one while the kids are at school.

I've always found this track strangely difficult to find time in S2. Used to be the same with the first chicane and last turn but I've worked on it. Just cant find any magic in the middle.

 

[Bertracer]

Gonna give this a quick sighter now, coming from the new online tt with the new 358 ferrari, quite a fun one. Time to move to the wrs now though!

 

[Pigems]

Great splits so far everyone!

What BB is everyone using?

I’ve shaved a couple of tenths so far tonight, but nothing really to write home about as of yet. It’s a fun combo though, especially after spending most of last night with Gr3 cars in the rain on Tokyo. It’s soooo nice to be able to actually use the throttle for something other then a foot rest.

Just saw my first .5 in S1, I blew the lap in the later stages though. It seems that you need to sacrifice some speed thru T1 to get the best entry/exit angle for T2, and also take a LOT of curb thru both.

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

I've been doing .5s in the S1 and with in .1 of optimal lap with everything from-2 to +2. Sticking with 0 for now.

 

[Pigems]

This one is very addicting, I kept telling myself that “this one” was the last lap, that started an hour and a half ago. If I didn’t have to work in the morning, this may have turned into an all nighter.

Still 0.45 left overall so not eniterly done yet.

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

Did 8 laps. I think I'm getting better in S2. Got my best lap so far with a +.181 in S1.

Obviously still missing something silly in sector two, I have not seen a single one in the 47s in two days

Once you get s2 , it's fairly easy to duplicate it.

Can we share tips beyond S1 on here?

Same here. I ran another 25 laps tonight. I’m on top of my personal best time but can’t seem to cut time anywhere.

Will share this with you guys..

Booted my PS4 and started on this combo with a new GTR... got up to speed and within 40 miles on the clock got a new save with reasonable splits but a sweet end section and beat my old best by half a tenth at the line 👍 anyway.. I saved my lap after checking for any close calls and set about beating it some more.. then it happened! I start my lap... Up at T1... up again at T2.. and finally a sweet end bend and crossed the line to be a whole .150 ahead of my best save!... Wow I'm over the moon and chuffed to hit my goal

... This satisfying feeling lasted for about 5 seconds! because as soon as I clicked the save replay option my whole house goes into darkness!! Because at the exact moment I go to save my replay? my son who is in another room does something connecting his phone charger to the power and it throws the trip and shuts down the power to the house I just lost my possible ultimate lap due to outside influences and to say I'm pissed would be an understatement! 👎 I'm not going to run this again because of that horse kak but will submit my best save before the blackout that had these splits..

24.552
47.457

Fate can be a cruel bitch and I wont waste my time fighting her pffft 👎 Other than that!... Blinding splits being posted across the board guys!! 👍
Good luck to all in the results

What a nightmare...
Yeah I know there are worse things in life but this sure ain't funny either.
I feel your pain,kind like me runnin' a decent lap with previous wrs with mr2 on dragon trail.
Finally reaching your goal and discover the other day all the replays are dissapeared ...
Better luck next time Ron.

 

[Mr P]

Thanks Eric! Sorry to hear of your troubles mate.. I have calmed down now haha but damn! How unlucky can we be to have such cruel race Gods play with our saves like that?

Someone up there don't like us :tup:

seems to me like your doing just fine , unless you have used all week to do those splits , but I doubt thats the case

Nope, just started today, usually I stay away from race cars, but I want to get better. great combo, and update

Edit the plus side about where I am is. I can't get drunk, smoking is a long walk. So I actually run a lot more laps and keep going more than I ever did.

Great splits man!

I’m in the same boat, that was one of the main reasons why I joined the WRS. Race Cars are my biggest weakness, Gr.3 Specifically. I feel like racing against you guys has definitely helped me get better at them.

The other good thing about this combo is...the ALPHA is back
