Deffinetly power "Talk's" here and if 8.19 was your test result ?
Drama will follow for the rest of us , except Tinkerbell which is the second in power car.
If i remember right a sleepstreming lap with a non one has more than 2 sec. difference .
Hope next race to be Motegi with shorter straights and more braking spots cause this race is written out for any good result.
I bet Paddy if was at the "old" power band he couldn't even see the top 2-3 cars on that race .
Hopefully i feel great with my car on his handling abilities but i need some TT runs to see my average lapping time alone and choose the right field to race with .
From my limited run , i was the sleepstreming victim at the last two laps and needed to pass them again :scared:
Anyway , if you cannot win here Bryce it will be all your fault and the " Mercedes" performance from the previous Chic will follow you for ever :lol:
Might be an extra weight at your shoulders but you run out of excuses :D

PS
Hopefully the "fat lady " will sing at the stage on the next round, till then nothing is written.
The 8:19 wasn't my test result, I did this last night.
I'm really looking forward to this race because it will tell if this BoP idea works.
I think you guys will be ok, we all thought a 6:09 was impossible last round and look what happened.
 
When i was talking about " test" i mean that you didn't bring your best effort of what you can.
You can't have an antidote for power in such a big straight track.
Forest was something else ,small tigh and the AI need to apply brakes everywhere .
Will see but i will be more than happy if i catch your time .
Can't say more cause i just test it ,when i find time to " study" it i will have a more realistic opinion.
 
Finally i was right , no substitute for power .
I try NSX at Fuji at free run and after few lap was turning sub 40s ,at 38s or 39s even 37 high when everything glue together .
Then i pick the first line up that came up and said let's do this.
End up with few errors at 8.26 something.
Then i think : lets see were Bryce is moving and change the power to fit at his pp and stop at 90% when 555pp appear and nothing else changed even my gearing which was for my draft settings.
With an halt from a spin and errors caused by wrong braking points due to more power....... guess what came up ?

Its important to understand that am not complaining or nagging ,after all We're not surrender our soul to the evil , just saying how things are .
So the hole bunch of horseless guys we run for 3rd place and down which is not bad :lol: we can't have it all.
8.26 was my best so far with a hope to improve it or to copy it back to film it.
Wait to see your benchmark guys.

In the rain race is there anyway to turn off the windshield wipers?
I really don't know if there is such a function :confused:
Perhaps if there is something fot that is hiding at the options menu and controller settings.

No tune entry


After the disaster i taste at Fujy :crazy: i try to give time to no tune searching mine 10th win that @bjl23 or @nostradavor2 take from my mouth.
As i guess for that race need to have a momentum and a flow more than to be as fast as you can.
After few attempts while i was runing at 55s 54s high and 56s sometimes due to traffic , suddenly start to lap continuesly for a some laps at sub 54 , didn't avoid errors or wall kisses that cut my speed but finally i get my reward farther than i hope.
Still room for improvement and want to give my congratulations to @RMan72 cause with the car - track- tyres-and lap compination create a very enjoyable challenge .
Definitely feels very nice to lap at the same half second under this demanding track.
When the ride has a " flow" is a ride on another level.
Thanks Hugh , definitely you surprise me with this one.
For the : are we here yet ...... Don't wanna talk about it :lol:

It appears that you have your racing brakes on, correct me if I'm wrong but that time will not count.

As for the CHIC I'm interested to see what the other guys do, once this round has ended I'll be asking all of you guys on how we can make it better.
@smoothbore12 do you think the time difference is just because the length of the straight?

#$%\$#@$\%$%#:banghead: :banghead: for the no tune you have right for the brakes , i can see it even without my glasses :lol:
Should have buy a new one :banghead: always happens this #\$#@🤬 ###\$%&$ when i use a car from my garage which is used and tuned.

As For NSX deffinetly that straight kill everything in low power and coming from low speed corner you can't draft them and the car you leave behind pass you easy before finish line .
Of course is not your fault or someone's else ,we just experiment and see what happens.
We need to hire a tester :lol:
My opinion ?
Leave it now as it is for this race and we will " check" next track to balance the speed handicap between cars


@paddycars1 willing to drive us nuts at the mission :crazy:

unstoppable;)
 
Just try again the no tune today and was close to my previous invalid run and try to take the vid , happy that this time i was on right settings with the normal brakes .
As i was scrolling down i realize that the car was with adjustable center differential at 30-70.
Perhaps cause in arcade mod didn't save your preferences as he also didn't put miles on car they was there from past adjustment.
After that i copy the lady down while Maria was about to slap me saying : and i was hearing this zoom zoom all this time for nothing ?

Deffinetly need to see a doctor.:confused:
 
Finally, you did a legit run :lol:

:lol: :lol: yes i did ,must be a mistake :lol:

Don't worry about no tune ,i also started at 9.30 and start rolling down each time.
You must do a lot of laps to find the right momentum in this one and try to avoid the F 🤬 n wall at least not to hit them ,just a " shave " allow you not loose to much speed .
Many times i get the GTR upside down in this turn :lol: .
Also is useful to know that the GTR need early brakes ( too heavy) but after that you can burn rubber at your will without worries.
@RMan72 made an excellent choise car -track compo and worth the 10 lap run.
Love the feeling pass that F:censored:n wall without touch ,shave or haircut.
 
CHIC entry

6 times in a row ,2 abandoned and the others was 8.26 ,8.24 and this was the last one.
The weider at the start give me some sleepstreming and i use motul nissan pass me on second lap but was with the hole bunch passing me .
If i didn't get wide both times at the second left turn might be slightly better ,then sneaking ,pushing ,brushing , holding , finally they let me (always cut their pace on last lap ) climp to the top and i don't know if it could be quicker let them pass me and follow them than hold them back in the last lap final straight.
Could end second or third but since faster time count who cares.
Its a matter of luck , sometimes they loose ground with their fights and you can have sleepstreming advantage and some times ( most of them) they just wave you the handkerchief .
Way hard this round .

PS
I think it was a fast field and not a slow one .
My best lap at 1.38.501

Your times a bit hard to see, is it 8:22.992?
 
Nice mate, team TAKATA should be strong this round. Don't forget a video.

Does this put a twist on the HP theory, since Paddy has the lowest HP?

We are facing disaster ,if Paddy is so quick with the lowest power my theory strat to collapse.

We must put him in a drug test , so @paddycars1 prepare your self to mail a sample to Bryce .
We must find a reasonable explanation for this. 💡

Its gonna need a lot of miles here to gain something that worth the effort.
Technical director of Arta team call emergency meeting to find a solution for the upcoming shame :scared:


The time is what you wrote @bjl23 8.22.992
 
The mystery with @paddycars1 performance finaly solved .
Needed to use my "sources" at NSA and is also verify by a highly member of mossad.

Paddy is an alien !!!!!!
After hard work and many many " favors" that they ask from me ,they send me a small vid that reveal the truth for Paddy's nation.
Please take away kids from screen.
