Renown Tuning ™ WTC 2

[freshseth83]

Thanks for the shout-out T-12! I only had a couple hours to run the track, I didn't change much in the set up of the car except caster and tire pressure levels. I'm sure with a couple more hours at the track i could have dropped down to the 1:45's or lower. Every chance I had to do the track i messed up on a lap. In other words, if it were qualfying, I couldn't sit on pole because I couldn't string together each sector. I might have the best sector 1 on the 2nd lap, then mess up the 3rd sector. The next lap it's be vice versa, I'd mess up the first sector, and set a blistering time in the 3rd! The controller is hard for me. Oh well, I hope we can continue with this though.

I have a proposal! Can we try a run at Brands Hatch in Audi R8 with a highest rating of 14.00? I think the Audi has some good handling capabilities, and I've been taking on Gallardo 14 rating cars online and cooking some tail. It doesn't have as quick acceleration or as high top speed, but it does have excellent stability.

What a great time Darkos, why did you go and get yourself banned for.
That was a great time too Nitro. freshseth83, that was a good time also and with a controller too, well done mate for your first time racing in the WTC 2. The F1 is one of the cars that I don't like very much and you can tell by the time I did.
It would be fantastic, T12, if you could keep on giving us challengers and keep the WTC 2 going.

After seeing the ridiculously-awesome movie I just saw, I'll finish off the season and I won't even drop out. 👍

 

[freshseth83]

So, what movie might that be? Was it the Eric Bana movie about the Ford Falcon? I heard that was pretty good.

And, thanks for the shout outs and complements guys. I wish I had a wheel, but I don't think Shift is a game worth spending extra money on. I did, however, purchase the new car pack so i can actually get on those races as well.

Nope, wasn't that. It was 17 Again.

 

[freshseth83]

Haven't seen it, or then again I might have and just don't remember it. So what's in store for us T-12?

I have no idea. Yet.

 

[freshseth83]

I've been at it online with a few of your tunes, I usually spank the competition with em. The only time I can't win is when there's dirty driving involved.

Besides all of that, Shift is what I'm working with until GT5. Stating this, I'm sure there's a lot of individuals who appreciate the tunes as much as I do, and the WTC league you created. I like the multitudes of tunes you've came up with, but I'm interested in seeing how some of the people here use your lesser tunes, like 6 rated cars. It'd be great to race against these guys with slower vehicles, to see how they work with momentum cars. I'm not a big fan of slower cars, but it's harder to be consistent in my opinion with the slower vehicles. Acceleration is a big deal.

Slower cars mean closer lap times, and tight competition.

 

[NITROVIOUS]

So , here l am first coffee in hand , expecting a burial ceremony for the WTC ll and a possible wake to follow . But wait , l see posts . l see activity . Could it be true ? Is this thing still alive? Now l know how good old Dr. Frankenstein felt after throwing the switch. IT'S ALIVE muahahaha. So now l'm eagerly awaiting the next challenge.
Sorry to see Darkos is banned he is a tough competitor, and will be missed in this competition .

 

[OZR-MrB52]

Great news, bring on Round 9. "Yeah"

 

[NITROVIOUS]

Any time attack this week?

 

[qirex]

Last two rounds should be very exited

 

[Terronium-12]

Any time attack this week?

Indeed there will be. I'm actually going to post two events back-to-back that will have a deadline of next week; one a day later then the other.

When ?
Why not go back to one track per week as in 1st WTC?
l'm sure it would be easier for everyone , yourself included.
Just a suggestion.

Brilliant idea. 👍

Round 9 will be posted later on today, and we're using the Apollo.

 

[freshseth83]

Uh oh, that Apollo needs some fine tuning if it's to be controllable. At least on my part. You gonna issue a standard tune or can we adjust it so we can tinker it to our driving styles?

I'll most likely leave the option to tune it yourself open, but I'll end up posting a tune anyway.

Great idea! The two day tune & TT didn't work out very well for me. Sunday night dead lines would be perfect for me if we go weekly.

Round 9 has been posted to the event calendar.

Great choice of track and car T-12 , and lots of time to really work it . 👍

 

[OZR-MrB52]

"Yes", back in action again. 👍

 

[freshseth83]

Nice track for this car, long and sweeping...

 

[Terronium-12]

Avoid this.

 

[RickyRacer]

Oh my, this will be one of the TT's that will be decided by .100's of a second. Bring your A game boyz because from past experiences I've had with Nitrovious & Darkos have been not for the faint of heart.

 

[freshseth83]

I like the silverstone circuit. I'm going for some practice runs now... I wonder how good the Apollo is around there.

A little bit slippery in some places, you have to watch the back end on the last two corners.

 

[freshseth83]

So i found out... it's a challenge, but i think tomorrow i'll be able to set some decent times.

 

[Zeeco_9]

What would you consider a fast time on Silverstone GP with the Apollo?

mmm...lots of weddings on today

Edit 2: though I know that the very fast one is working his butt off today

 

[RickyRacer]

I haven't got a chance to use to Apollo yet but to be competitive in this round I'm guessing a racers times in a rated 14 car should be around 1:43-1:44 and unrestricted should be around 1:36-1:37...
