Harvey Wallbanger's Quest for the Holy Grail

[comandorando87]

^ I know, right?! Feel like a ballerina with all the spinning I've been doing.

It is gracefull looking as it does the nose/tail dance before ending up on it's roof.

So has everyone given up in disgust? Or are you all just taking a breather like I am?

 

[DigitalBaka]

Well I've had my run in Dragon's Impreza and given up on the WRS for this week. Could use something a bit uplifting after that pseudo-rally experience so I think I may hit up some GT500 action and do some photo mode shots for the comps this week. I'll come back to this at the end of the week.

I'm hoping to get her to try again tonight. And if my hand continues to heal the way it is, maybe I'll give it a shot early next week 👍

bloody hell this is a handful. Its a great car when you can get it to stick but its hardwork. I love the handling on the racing lines but stray from them and you die! actual death! I only posted 3 green times from 10 laps 1:40.948, 140.019 then 1:39.004 (I actually nearly kicked the TV off the stand). I'll have a break then have another go

 

[Maccer_42]

Had a big session today trying to crack under the 1:35.000 barrier, and after 23 sweaty palmed laps, a few moments of being on two wheels, alot of time spent on its roof I finaly achived it!
All driving aids were off except ABS was set to 1, Grip was set to real. I cant find a place that includes all this info along with the time and tyres I used to take a photo for proof

A 1:34.848

I knew it would be possible but geting a solid lap in this car is a workout to say the least. And to everyone saying this car has no grip, I disagree, this car has plenty of grip and is setup very well but you have to learn how to use it to maximize it's potenitial.

 

[XDesperado67]

Outstanding Sir Maccer_42!

I now proclaim you a Champion of the Order of the Mountain.

Krenkme and his princess get to set the next challenge for the "Holy Handgrenade" but after them you'll get to set one up. Choice of track, tires and time will be yours. Just please don't set the target time so fast that us lesser mortals and non alien types have a legitimate shot at attaining it. You'll be able to set a second faster time for Knights of the Coconut to earn Champion with.👍👍

 

[krenkme]

Well, it finaly happened. And here it is.

Sorry for the 'Vette time, I've been attempting to tune it . She ran three laps, got this time and was quite happy to quit.

So there you go, my daughter, Kate, has become a knight.

It is with great honor and privalege that I bestow the title of Die Ritter der Kokosnuß Order of the Mountain on Princess Kate for her valiant deeds.

Note; I may have used the wrong term of address for Princess Kate, but figured it was safer for my continued health to call her Lady rather than the more proper term, I believe, of Dame. I hope you can all understand my dilemma.

 

[DigitalBaka]

I spent an hour on this Friday night....or Thursday....whichever. Either way I'm still off by about .6 secs. I feel good about T1 when I hit it right and T2 feels okay too. I think I am losing my time in T3 at the big left and the downhill right just before the end of the sector.

Anyone care to share a ghost or would that be against the rules?

And congrats to Princess Kate! :tup:

Thank you kind sir. I know I am to young to have my own acount, but my dad lets me enjoy the forum and you funny people here in the tuning garages. Thanks.

I gained most of my time going into the tunnel befor the back strait. Mainly becouse I took my time and didn't rush.


-well I hope this was okay. I know that having someone else use your account is a no-no, but she just wanted to say thank you, and help DB. If a mod thinks this is wrong, I am sorry and will not let it happen again.

I would also like to thank Harvey for "Knighting" Kate. You should have seen the smile on her face 👍

'Night everybody


Edit-2000 posts, and none of them any good

Hai Kate , just saying, you are so much better a driver than your dad. He should be proud…and slightly embarrassed that he got beaten by his daughter.

Nope, not at all embarrassed. Very happy and proud that I have a child that I can enjoy this great game with... even if I do get beat an awful lot.

 

[robrabbitman]

After quite a few tries (got 1:38.336 second lap), a lot of rage and the use of every curse in the English dictionary, I managed a 1:36.57



I definitely see potential. I could probably lower my time, but I figured this is good enough for now.

 

[XDesperado67]

Congratulations Sir robrabbitman on your new stature as a Knight of the Coconut Order of the Mountain.👍👍

 

[fbccars924]

ill have to take a whack at er. I had a good handle on the GT4 Supra Mk4 RZ and that mad the ginetta seem tame the so i can imagine it hasnt gotten worse. 1:34.xxx here i come.

1:38.855
I'm getting closer. Despite my best effort I've only been able to put about an hour a day since I got my wheel. Yesterday my wife, thinking to do me a kindness, turned my alarm off.

It's the last few corners, just after the last downhill, that are holding me back. I should get it by tonight I hope.

Update: 1:38.599. Missed it by that much.

Update 2: 1.38.192. If I can figure out how to post a pic from my android I'll post it here. ... Nope, invalid file type or some such.

Edit: What, no pic = didn't happen?

Gotta upload the pic to a photo sharing site(flikr,photobucket,etc.) then use the insert image tool in the post editer. Pics are the only way claims can be verified, thus no one buys it when i say i'm the king of Scotland

 

[Ronald6]

Not worth the effort to upload. I'll show Harvey/Desperado the replay when we go driving next Monday.

Sounds like a deal, and maybe I can show you how easy it is to put photos on here.:tup:👍

Sorry for not responding to your chat offer on PSN the other day but as you probably saw I got disconnected in short order anyways.

 

[Ronald6]

No problem. Sounds like a plan.

Check out my "Cruisin' #2" track. I made it to practice with the wheel in my Caterham Fireblade. Your Golden Ferret works great on it.

 

[XDesperado67]

Will be sending the "Holy Handgrenade" to krenkme for safekeeping in a few hours. Added a second challenge here but need krenkme or Princess Kate to confirm the target time.

This was prompted by the G4 being named as the current Car of the Week in the Q&A forum.
Hopefully krenkme can place it on share at least for the coming week.👍👍

I will gladly take possession of the Holy one and place it on share by Saturday for sure 👍

I think 1:28 was the time Kate wanted, but I'll make sure later today.

I will also offer up some additional prizes for certain achievements to be determined later

 

[dr_slump]

This movie has probably the best beginning of all time.

 

[krenkme]

The prize car is on share if any chose to try

@Harvey, the princess said 1:26 for the time on racing hards to beat... 1:23.500 will bring in a special prize

I'm hers to command. Will fix the OP forthwith!

 

[fbccars924]

I the Fbccars the merry will be taking a shot at this. I cannot locate the original "Holy Handgrenade" but have located the specs and a low mileage G4. I bid thee adiue and wish to all may your laps be fast.
