Rotaries at Midfield - fun open day

[Rypien]

Nice time in the Renisis powered RX8 GT40racer . I have not driven that car for a while (apart from the LM GTC model) and am looking forward to giving it a go when my OLR commitments subside.

Talentless , don't give up mate . comparing yourself with a guy like Flinx can put anyone in a depressed mood . He is a freak of nature and one of the all time greats! His run is very quick overall, but inparticular the last few twists and turns. I remember my last real crack in the 787B had me running with his ghost loaded up (as well as Mr P's on occasion). Flinx's ghost was super quick afer the S2, and even when i did manage to match (even managed to be ahead on a fair few occasions) at the S2 he would simply blow past me leading into the last tunnel and beyond. Its an awesome run by and awesome driver

BTW - the difference between a 964hp and 984hp 787B is pretty small. It will account for some time differences, but my guess it would only decrese your times by around 1/2 a second at the most.

 

[GT40racer]

I want to be the best at something, theres no way ill ever get anywhere CLOSE to that 787B time, might as well go for the RZ and RX8 times

 

[Rypien]

The OLR event where i'm using the 600hp RX7Lm car is almost over and so i guess its safe to post my replay and time.

RX7 LM
600hp (oil + T8's)

1'02.344 (18.931/37.568)

The last section of racing was pretty poor as i've done a similar total time with a Sector 2 time of 37.7xxx. I'm sure this car can go into the 1'01.xxx's with the right driver behind the wheel.

I'm looking forward to trying these settings on the 979hp version

still got 1/2 a second to go in the RX-8 there mate

 

[Talentless]

I can't get the car to turn off the rumble strip the first time at 95 without difficulty.

 

[GT40racer]

For some reason im universally quick with road cars, and always manage to end up short with ANY race car, I cant figure out why, maybe I drive race cars too much like road cars or vice versa.
Quite the paradox here

 

[GT40racer]

I knew it would have to happen eventually.....

 

[GT40racer]

RX8 - 515hp - GT3
1'07.462 (20.459/40.877)

Forgot what a great ride this car is. Feels very light and agile, and the engine is a real revver Looking forward to taking it a bit closer to the 1'06.xxx mark (might be a bit optimistic though ).

I'll post the replay next time i fire up the x-port. I've got the settings if anyone is interested. I've yet to fiddle with the LSD.

no, tis I who he is trying to provoke

 

[GT40racer]

Seems I have stirred the flames of the Austrailian outback

I AM SCREWED
I think ill sit back and watch the fight, at this rate the first car to hit 53 wont be a 787B

 

[GT40racer]

Every now and then ill throw a couple good times at you, but i do believe they will be returned to my face with a great impact, like the boomerangs you so often use

Bollocks#999 flys past in his RX8! Awesome time buddy. I just purchased Total Imersion Racing today and will be glued to the screen for the next day or two i'd imagine, but i'm looking forward to giving it a shot

And a thank-you to Random for submitting his RX7 time and settings. Always a pleasure to have another rotary nut on the track.

Fingers crossed nest time i post here it will be with a new RX8 time
