PURE | Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo - Last Race Canceled

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Something tells me we're not racing today...

 

[CSLACR]

What if we delay these last 2 races till after JGTS?

Only one more week of JGTS and then we can spend more time on these. (nobody's getting any real practice)

Yeah I haven't turned a single lap. Although I did the same last week and still managed to win, but that's only because of the low turnout.

If everyone agrees, then we can do that. Take a week off.

And don't you forget it.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Alright we'll go ahead and postpone this until after JGTS. We'll run Motegi on December 15th.

 

[CSLACR]

Sounds good to me.

Nige should be back by then too. 👍

I'm back early. Great cars, a few cool old trucks. I finally got to see the 2012 ZL1 Camaro in person (for some reason I didn't bring a camera).
So no race? OK, I need time to fix my cars setup so it stops understeering like truck on RH tires.

We have an Orange one at the dealer down the street, tis awesome.

Ahhh your postponing >.< such a long wait!

 

[CodeRedR51]

We're back!

Time to warm up the Lambo's.

PM's being sent out this week as a reminder.

 

[RIP_Welsh_Don]

Yep, I should be good to go for the next 2 rounds.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Same. 👍

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

More laps today:

32.304 | 27.270 | 23.530 | 29.612 = 1:52.716

Feels like there's more time out there, but the car's tricky to drive as is.

 

[CSLACR]

I should have an early day tomorrow, if I do, I'll run some laps and get settled in.

That's a nice laptime. What about your pace?
Yes, the car is so tricky. It has a lot of understeer.

I was going to run some laps today since I took a mental leave of absence from work, but only did some testing with the Fiat 500 then got sidetracked. I may not get any more game time until Friday night.

Low 53s. Like you said, understeer galore, which makes pushing it every lap a dangerous proposition, especially with the wonky setup I have under me.

 

[Scanny_Flick]

Can't make it this Saturday (Xmas party) but will be good to go for the last 2 rounds

 

[Dr_Watson]

now that I don't have anything else occupying my GT5 I might be interested in running a couple races if you have room.

Plenty of room. 👍

You are on Racing Hards, right?

...

Whew! I checked and, yes, I am on Racing Hards. Just remember, what drives perfectly for you is an 18-wheeler for everyone else.

You guys just need to have patience.

If you drove a real car the way you are driving this one in the game, it would do the same thing...

I will say that I ran consecutive 52s when I eased up on my entries. If I did that during the race, though, I'll likely get rammed from behind. Curse me and my slowga method.

I should be able to make it out for the race this Saturday 👍

See.

It's called slow in fast out, lost on many, fine art though.

The biggest "trick" is getting used to having other drivers up your ass entering corners, I could swear it's more about who can brake the latest than who can run the fastest laps sometimes.

 

[CodeRedR51]

When someone is right on me I tend to ease off and brake sooner and not as hard just so they have enough time to react. If I'm usually right behind someone, I'll try to stick the nose out before braking just in case. If I don't do that I usually end up rear ending them on accident. My reactions suck.

 

[CSLACR]

Anticipation > reactions
Give or take a half second for reactions, in terms of racing they're useless.

I don't have a set plan when following, other than when I'm setting up a pass. Everything else is just following to me.
When leading, I used to do things to "declare" I was slowing, etc, but have found better success just racing on like the other car isn't there at all.

Thanks to Jason, I'm used to someone following my tire tracks every lap.

My approach varies on who's following me. With many, I have an idea of how they drive, so I can anticipate what they are going to do.

When someone is right on me I tend to ease off and brake sooner and not as hard just so they have enough time to react.

...and if they don't, you get a love tap.

If I'm usually right behind someone, I'll try to stick the nose out before braking just in case. If I don't do that I usually end up rear ending them on accident. My reactions suck.

If I don't have enough of a run on someone to pass them, I like to tuck out of their draft for a second, pull back in, and coast for a split second before reaching my braking point.
