Lotus Evora Cup - Hotlap Leaderboard at Fuji 550

[Synwraith]

No wonder you have over-steer maz.

Usually I raise the rear end to give it more rear end stability, or I increase the rear toe to give it more stability, particularly under braking.

YOU'VE DONE THE OPPOSITE! Lol

P.s. hotlaps is something I haven't got the pateince for. I can spend a maximum of an hour at it...before I believe it becomes a lottery...waiting for the right time to appear in the top of your screen when you cross the line.

Can you recommend some values? I didn't actually come up with the tune myself

All the best

[PASM]

I would go for like +0.08 to start. I the oversteer is still too much, then go to +0.12 or even +0.15. Or go and have a look at the setups in the DC shop.

Followed your adivice on rear toe to +0.08 and rpm's advice to swicth ride height to -27, -25 and got a new laptime.

1'52.585|T&L - GTP_Synwraith

I can see I'm still losing time in T3. I have a 1'51 high ghost I am using and I can stay very close (about 0.2 behind) right up until the last 2 corners, then I lose the 0.5 to 0.7.

I know what's left may not be in the tune, but the technique required to brake/rol/accel in exactly the right spots to nail the last two corners.

All the best

Well done Maz, keep it coming.

 

[LR-PR-ProtoX]

Just raced minutes go, don't know who this guy is JetLag, pretty lame for him to be bumping into my teammates on purpose. The rest of the guys were racing good. Keep it up guys, we were running Mustangs. So if you see LR tag, that's us! Thanks

1'51.933| LP-tune - GTP_Racer_LP

Still room for improvement though. I can see a 51.6 in there.

Nice one Stijn. 👍

Thanks Dan

Improvement: 1'51.717| LP-tune - GTP_Racer_LP (replay saved)

Still a tenth to be won in first and 2nd sector though. So 51.5 possible

Incredible laptime, straight to the top of the leaderboard!

And you're still trying to feed me rubbish like "I'm not D1 gold?"


EDIT: Improved my own time a tiny bit with same tune as before:
1'52.503| T&L - GTP_Synwraith

Watching the ghost again, I realise I'm actually losing 0.3 up to T2, my best T2 being a 59.301, and then a further 0.3 in the last 2 corners. Watching the replay of the 1'51 again and also following other Evoras like RPM in a race, I saw that people were on the brakes for longer during these corners. The replay showed me in nice detail that the brakes for the final two corners are never fully applied by the superstars, just about 40 - 60 %. Really superb brake control and I guess I just have to do what timeattack does and master it with the sixaxis.

I can very clearly see a 1'52.3 because the above time made a little mess of the last 2 corners and I have done those better. The better times will require that slick soft braking approach.

So damn tricky.

EDIT: Big improvement, helped by watching replay even closer and improving braking point for left hand hairpin turn 4. Also changed steering angle up to 49.

1'52.259| T&L - GTP_Synwraith

Damn proud of that

All the best

[Ren-Tec]

1'51.980 - *Rentec/hyper tune - GTP_PASM (replay saved)

wee finally in the '51s Still room for improvement though.

Nice one PASM, nice to see im less than .1 behind you,can't really be bothered with hot laping. Im more interested in keeping a high pace everylap which i seem to be doing quite well in this car.

see you on track

You just had to, didn't you

You always manage to top my time by a hundreth or two

I guess I'll have to give it a try one LAST time tommorow 👍 Great lap though

Here's the set-up I've been using, in case anyone wants to give it a try 👍


Power: 0
Weight: 86
S2/S2

-25/-30

[Synwraith]

I look forward to giving that ago tonight for sure. Your top-end on the final straight was incredible. I was only getting past by the first corner if at all.

EDIT: Updated leaderboard with gaps to leader in red.

Thanks 👍

Yep, I had to. I couldn't stand seeing you at the top of the list.

JK . I already had a go at this saturday afternoon. first laps were 53's and I was thinking 'wow, I'm slow'. Then started improving and got to 1'52.2. Had some time to play sunday morning aswell and gave it an other try. Did a couple of 51.9's first, then nothing special for a couple of laps end then this one came

I'm still expecting to be knocked down from that first place though

Hi there!

Yesterday evening i started my PS3 and GT5P the first time again after a great week of REAL SIM RACING in GTR EVOLUTION for PC(if you dont know it, then try at least the demo, it´s 5 times better than GT5P or FC!!!) to see if i can improve my time in 2h max.

Well, i was many many times 2-3 tenth in T1 in front of my 1:51.826 ghost just to mess it up at the end. , but i got a

1'51.666| T&L - GTP_fairplay_plz

Was a clean lap, replay saved. Still a lot of room for improvements, but i really didn´t want to invest to much time.

You will find me the next time on the Nordschleife in GTR Evolution

 

[theewar]

^ Well done Kai.You can now use your two Evora cups as bookends.

 

[Hyper-Dan]

Nice one Kai. 👍 Where was that 1'50.xxx though?

 

[Synwraith]

Excellent laptime Kai, we knew you had it in you!

I will allow I think to the end of the week for further submissions of laptimes people didn't get a chance to improve and hadn't notified me about.

In the meantime, can I request posted replays from Timeattack, Racer_LP and Fairplay_Plz.

Well done guys, absolutely terrific performances and it appears that the reigning champion of Evora Hotlap has retained his crown.

Kai you truly are the Evora King

All the best
Maz

 

[The Outlaw]

Great lap fair_play 👍

Wish I had gotten time to have another go at a .5-.6 Oh well. I'll post a replay later tonight when I fire up the PS3 👍

 

[fair_play_pleas]

thanks guys. Like i said Dan, it would take a long BORING time to get a 1.50... but as you can see in my ghost replay, there is a lot more possible, also i used my tune which i spend 5min for it, and my total Evora race/hotlap time in this event= not more than 4hours,(2races,2freerun).
So i´m happy with that lap, especially after one week of pure GTR Evolution racing:tup:

 

[Racer_LP]

Nice time, Kai 👍

@ maz: will post my replay tomorrow

 

[The Outlaw]

Sorry for not posting this sooner. It slipped my mind with all the other events going on.

God, looking back at this lap it was disgustingly sloppy The saving grace was the great run I got out of the last turn. Not sure how I was unable to improve considering I went up 2 tenths on this time by sector 2 and my sector 3 on the .729 lap was mistake filled, except for the the last two turns Oh well

Here's my replay:
