[Iceman]

Looks cool Ron, I'm in 👍

I wonder how close these 2 will be in GT4

 

[Kelly]

Ok first goes in the Ruf on both tracks...

Seattle1 - 1'40.813
Seattle2 - 1'41.851

Total = 2'82.664

think it's 3'22.664

Nice race Mr P

 

[Mr P]

Please submit 1 car at 1 track Kel ... like RUF @ Seattle forward and Speed 6 @ Seattle reverse! or vice versa 👍 but not both tracks with the same car .. if you get my meaning

Anyway ... here's my 1st attempts to get things underway

Seattle Forward - TVR Speed 6 - 1'37.573
Seattle Reverse - RUF 3400S - 1'40.663
Total = 3'18.236

Loads left on both tracks ... just want to get some times on the board

 

[Mr P]

Seattle Forward - TVR Speed 6 - 1'36.877

New Total = 3'17.537

The Speed 6 is my fave of these 2 cars with its heavy ass and massive power band 👍

 

[Iceman]

Seattle Forward - Tuscan Speed 6 - 1'36.935

I doubt I can do anything better than 1'36.5, even breaking into the 36's was a tough task. Maybe the Ruf will be better for me

A few laps in the Ruf, and I like it much better:

Seattle Reverse - Ruf 3400S - 1'40.051

Total - 3'16.986

 

[Mr P]

Nice time Ben 👍 .... Updated

I have been up on my Tuscan lap by about .5 or so and crashed badly in the last little niggly chicane before the line I reckon 1'35's are doable ... just not by me

 

[Iceman]

Oh man I hate that chicane That's why I like Seattle Reverse, you dont have to deal with it at the end of a good lap

 

[Mr P]

Updated 👍

 

[Iceman]

New time:

Seattle Forward - Tuscan Speed 6

31.345/1'15.855

Total: 1'36.632

 

[Mr P]

Some more laps in the RUF @ Seattle reverse ...

19.992 / 1'05.290 = 1'39.303 👍

New Total = 3'16.113

 

[Iceman]

Back to Seattle Reverse I guess

But not before a little more in the TVR

Seattle Forward - Tuscan Speed 6

31.567/1'15.569

1'36.111

Lost a few tenths here and there mainly at T1 and the 2nd to last corner.

Seattle Reverse - Ruf 3400S

19.889/1'05.101

1'39.248

Total: 3'15.559

 

[MinorShunt]

Ran some laps of each tonight. I like the Boxster best. Probably because I've been scheming on how to get one in RL. That and the fact that you need to call ahead with an appointment to get the TVR to stop...........
Anywho first lap times.

TVR FWD
1'36.977

3400S REV
1'39.360

Total
3'16.337

And those are some seriously fast TVR laps guys. I had a hard enough time just getting into the 36's. 'nother second? Not from me.

 

[Iceman]

I felt the same way about the Tuscan but then I hit that lap. It grows on you after awhile and the lap times start dropping 👍

 

[Mr P]

Great Times Guys 👍 That Tuscan lap is stunning Ben .. I think you can get that 1'35 now

Ben is so far ahead now he added his total up wrong to give .2 back to us

Updated

 

[Kelly]

Please submit 1 car at 1 track Kel ... like RUF @ Seattle forward and Speed 6 @ Seattle reverse! or vice versa 👍 but not both tracks with the same car .. if you get my meaning

Ok, sorry I misunderstood

Went to the TVR dealership and they only had a yellow one left

Anyway, took it for a spin at Seattle 2 (just to be different) I get the feeling it doesn't like this track and I've put a few dents in the car, It certainly doesn't like going down that hill but I managed eventually to get a clean 1'42.231

 

[Mr P]

Updated Kel and Zoky's laps 👍

 

[Kelly]

I got a better lap TVR S2 .... sorry Ron!

1'40.460

 

[Mr P]

Updated 👍

 

[Mr P]

Updated Zoky's latest Seattle II time

👍

 

[GTmaniac]

Had a few more laps with Tuscan today:

31.394
1'15.461
----------
1'35.707

ToT - 3'14.089

Thank you Ron for this 2 races,I wasn't expecting them to be so much fun!

 

[Mr P]

Glad you like them Zoky and good to see you back kicking ass again in OLR 👍

Updated

 

[Mr P]

Looks like these combo's dont have the lifespan to last a month

Hows about I just make them last 1 week? If people are in agreement and think a week is long enough I will post battle number 2 on Monday and the final battle on the following Monday 👍

I will see what you's think before I edit the 1st post

 

[Mr P]

Updated with ROB256R's times 👍

 

[GTmaniac]

Replays:tup:

 

[Mr P]

Got them both and will view them later Zoky 👍

 

[Mr P]

Both laps viewed and clean as well as supersmooth Zoky 👍

You have a great braking technique that cuts out all the skidding sounds that was happening in my laps great work

 

[GTmaniac]

Thanks Ron,it's nice to see that somebody seen those 2 replays.

This 2 races were really awesome,didn't had that much fun in hotlaping for a long time!👍

 

[Mr P]

Not a problem Zoky, It's always good to watch and see how a combo should actually be driven 👍
