Round #6 @ Rome II

[made in holland]

What were your laptimes and sectortimes then, Der Alta?

 

[Der Alta]

I don't recall my sector times off hand, but my fast laps are in teh 1'34.MID range. Seeing you turning 1'32.HIGH shows that I'm 1.5+ seconds off. Usually I'm two+ seconds off of you. So I've made a bit of improvement. I've got a meeting tonight that will run until 10pm, and I'll gethome around 10:30. I'll pack up the day at that point, and roll out of bed early tomorrow morning (5am) to get a trial run at the race done. Then I've got all weekend slated for this and #8.

what is your braking point that you use?

Thanks,
AO

 

[made in holland]

I can't really tell you what my breaking point is, because i don't have a recognition point.
I found it after trying it a dozen times.

 

[Der Alta]

Egads!!! I'm waaaayyyout in last place on this one.

Sector times are (+/-) 21 seconds, 1'00.

After more than a few runs today, and some evaluation, I've posted my best time to date. No where near your time. Maybe in another year, I'll be good enough to match your times. As it stands, I've got 4 replays that I'll load up. First up is an 8'04.184. It has 2 paint scraping incidents. With all the rules that have evolved over the past few dyas, I'll leave it up to Boom to pass judgement. Second replay is an 8'04.558 that has a paint scraping incident. #3 is a Clean 8'05.317. Following that is and 8'06.480 that is clean.

Boom and Kelly, take a look and see what you think.

I'm going to go home to drown my sorrows in pepto- bismal & Whiskey. My Best lap (1'34) is slower than MIH's slowest lap.

What do you mean by paint scrapes ? AI or fence?

 

[Der Alta]

Fence, and it wasn't hi impact, In Real life, it would have only scraped up the paint, and left a small dent. Barely if at all changed my direction or speed. Certainly cleaner than D.A.M.'s run...

All four runs are Clean concerning the AI.

AO

 

[Kelly]

Fence not allowed no matter how gentle, so looks like this is your best save up to now then

Run #3. 8'05.317 (Clean!)

👍 nice Run Der Alta! that's about all I could manage too on this little toughie, it sure is hard to get that sort of pace MIH is pulling

 

[Der Alta]

MIH hands the precision of a surgeon. He can call the RUF, His "Scalpel" Which he uses to remove offending racers from the podium.

If you're near my pace, I think I did OK. I blew the second corner so many times...I'd post up a 1'00.LOW first run, only to minch that second corner. ALmost like there was a Super magnet in the railing understeering my front quarter panel into it.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Lotus.

Now, it's on to #8.

Haven't been playing the last couple of days ( Have FFX fever at the moment ), but i will try to improve my time a little bit before the 29th.
I think a 7.50.xxx should be possible.

Nice time, Der Alta:tup:

 

[Kelly]

Ok it's race day!

Indeed one of the toughest races I'd say due to pressure factor at keeping fast and clean 100% you've both done an excellent job!

Mischa still on a 7'51.094? you're up for our best result so far with that time, top job! 👍 at least top 8 I'd bet my life on it!!

This will be a closely fought battle

Alex your time I will submit in a minute and the replay later 👍

Mischa don't know if you've submitted yet or not, but if I don't see you around later I'll send yours in for you also

Good luck guys!! fingers crossed

 

[Prancing Horse]

Good luck guys...good job getting to the finish line!

 

[made in holland]

I haven't submitted my time yet. I will race it one more time in an hour or so, in an ultimate attempt to improve some more. I'll be home for the rest of the day, so i will send in my final time around 17.00 hours my time

 

[made in holland]

Small last-minute improvement:

7.50.876

Will submit my time right now.

 

[Der Alta]

I just got the same reply that the mailbox was full.

I've upload my replay, so they can't DQ my for posting my time.

AO

 

[made in holland]

Just to make sure, DA, you can email them your time too.
That is what i did too. Just mail it to GTN Admins.

 

[Der Alta]

Got it...!!

Done it!

Thanks!!

AO

 

[Der Alta]

I want it known.

I hereby personally decree...That should MIH win this (and it's looking so) I'm willing to pack up a six pack of Sam Adams beer and ship it too him.

AO

 

[Duke]

I just heard through the grapevine that MIH beat the indomitable Mr. P! Way to go, Mr. Holland!

[Prancing Horse]

Thanks Kelly!

 

[Der Alta]

So I have a few questions related to teh DA over at GTN. Seems someone farther up the line got DA'd for a few too many walls bangs. (downstairs neighbor get annoyed?)

Does this mean we get a few extra points? Not that it will help, but it certainly brightens my day, that someone had to bang a few walls to beat me !

Lotus? Boom? any thoughts from the captains?
