THE CHALLENGE HUB, CHALLENGE COMPLETE

[smoothbore12]

Have a good Sunday guys.
I doubt for any improvement to come ,i try to run a bit the Lotus yesterday but my nerves get very tense and quite in half hour .
It was a free run but can't deal the wall hits or loosing the half of the track apex's .
As i said at Goodwood i reach my limits and didn't bother farther ,the only thing i done this morning was to run a bit the next Goodwood run with 507 and i was surprised how much you loose or gain cause its a" slow" car and there's no way to recover since you need actually only one braking.
Don't know if i will have the appetite to improve my lotus run time at noon but i might .
If i knew the next school lesson there's no way to run lotus , button steering at single seater is pain in the a.s.s.
and i hate hitting walls at my favourite track .
Well done Saint , you push me way back on last place

Waiting forward for round 59 .....

I hope @Bruno Guima not be disappointed because of slower ( only then you get disappointed) times at no tune and didn't post a time yet.
Am living example ,while on the majority challenges am good enough ( short of) this round at 3 Crown i suck .
Come on mate " hit " your stuff and join our company.

Triple Crown

Almost a good one. Best lap of the race 1:25.54 while I got just under 1:25 like a half an hour prior. I didn't go for it all day, the wheel went to high-fan-mode on lap 5 (this sprint) and certainly I got a little warm as well.

edit: Oh, no Replay forum now? So I made a Bump-a-Reel from the sprint races today. youtu.be/mAPYe8wOK6w

@Thematic ,the same happens to me as you did in your vid

Also i turn it upside down on Casino hotel turn once , anyway i will never get use to it and that damn halts that occurs are " killing " me .
Its a track that needs a " flow " no matter if is slow or fast , you just need a flow to carry on and to enjoy it .

You are right, but eg. exiting the chicane (which I think is quicker or more consistent left to or away from the rumble in this case) you can go very close to the left side barrier without losing speed. This is not good, well, for the dangerous kind of races / trials you should have tracks where the fast line(s) are removed from such hard points.

2nd try without ballast... I hope having a last session after movie to attack 1:39....

 

[smoothbore12]

3 Crown final entry
Had a better one according to my lap times but at 5th lap i stuck on the chicane left side and i $%\#¢€¥≥¥¥€¢ and quite any other try.
Having a flow and no rush i achieve as best lap at 23s but not at this run .
At least i try it

Congratulations guys for your efforts on this round , especially @RMan72 who did a world record i guess on Goodwood .
Noel's surgery it was on the program but cancelled due to the outbreak and did it now ,hope to be soon with us and be in charge again quickly.
Tinkerbell we miss your on and of topics.
Glad to see Barnavas again even that way .
Have all a good and safe week.

 

[bjl23]

Also, you may notice that for the NO-TUNE CHALLENGE I've added that the DIV 1 players can't do an oil change, I've done this due the lack of Div 1 entrants lately and I want to see if this rule change will bring Div 1 and Div 2 players closer.

So can all Div 1 players try your best to enter this round so I can get an idea if this will work,
Thanks.

Goodwood story
As i said yesterday i try the Ferrari at Goodwood but was in vain.
So i check the next one preparing for the next round and following the steps of Ferrari i grap the BMW for a ride
Here is my first record while you see whats was the old one.

After that was getting better

And better

And still the ghost shows that's there is even more room if i was lucky and i was right.

Lapping less than a sec to whats world record is ,was more than enough for me.

Battling Heavyweights at the Sacred Valley!

We return to Grand Valley, this time on the full course, for this week's race.

Despite the full course of Grand Valley Speedway being quite long, on Comfort Softs the Delta doesn't really have a huge cornering advantage on the rest of the field, despite its lighter weight compared to them. It's only a two lap race, so you can't really afford to make too many mistakes if you want to win.

The AI field I got is pretty close together in terms of performance. Your opponents for this race will mostly be Imprezas and Skylines, with the occasional Lancer or Audi. All of them are quite heavy, so it mitigates the power advantage they have on you, which isn't that big to begin with.

For the AI field I got, I used this strategy:

Off the start, pass the gray R32 into turn 2. If that isn't possible, pass him into turn 3, as the AI tends to brake there, but the Delta can make turn 3 flat-out. Next, we overtake the Impreza wagon into turn 4, but sometimes it can be too fast to overtake into turn 4, so we get him into turn 6 instead.

If we overtook the Impreza wagon into turn 4, it is possible to get past the bug-eyed Impreza in front of it into turn 6, otherwise, we'll probably have to wait until turn 11, just before the first tunnel, to get past him.

Most of the time, we can't overtake anyone else until Lap 2, but sometimes, if you dare to brake late enough, it is possible to overtake the 22B into turn 16. But most of the time, we'll slipstream it and overtake it down the main straight as we start Lap 2.

Ahead of us is a cluster of cars: A red R32, a green Audi S4, and an Evo VI. Usually, we can get both the R32 and the Audi into turn 2, and the Lancer into turn 4. That last one is tricky, however, as the Evo tends to brake check us into turn 4. This is a massive run killer as we lose too much speed if we hit him here, and then catching the leader becomes near impossible.

Next up is the blue Audi RS6, which we usually get past into Turn 6, then have about a 6 second gap to catch the blob-eyed Impreza up front. On rare occasions, the Impreza can get stuck behind the RS6, which allows us to get both of them into turn 11 and effectively get half a lap on clean air while the Audi holds up the Impreza, but usually, the white STi will be long gone by now.

If the STi got past the RS6, you're short on time to catch him. Most of the time, we make the pass for the win coming out of the last tunnel in Turn 15, or on the braking zone to Turn 16. You then have to watch out for him on the main straight, as there is enough room for him to steal your win, so you'll have to block him to stay in 1st. This could get you a small speed boost as well, which could save you a few tenths.

I didn't do too many runs on this one, but I'll probably do some more later (I had a great run that was killed by getting brake checked by the Evo in turn 4 on lap 2). For now, my fastest time is a 4:55.540.

Thank you for the info, will hope to get some times uploaded soon

Take your time our new mate .
From me just a small note :
Many times new guys make an appearance at the hub but they made the mistake to judge their performance with some of us and perhaps fell disappointed and leave missing our beautiful and unique company.
Don't make the same mistake since you don't know who is who and definitely few guys here are among the best ( not professionals ) worldwide .
There is room for everyone Fast or Slower trust me on this.
The Main CAUSE is to have fun , we appreciate honestly and we trust eachother .

So " hit it " and enjoy yourself and not forget to mention that in each round Everybody have the chance to design an event ( the invitations and pick track and car for No tune challenge) as he likes , starting with alfabetic order and circle again and again.

I know I'll be slow since it's been a hot minute since I've played GT6, but yeah, definitely looking to have fun!

Thats The POINT mate and as it comes about performance ,for me i get the most strong feeling not if i win somewhere ......but when i surpass my self when i think that am on my limit .
Winning or loose ,first or last doesn't make much of a difference, to be better, to " learn " from others and mostly to be a part of the journey we all having here is way more interesting and joyful.

Two weeks might be enough to try more than one car for
Track Day
but I'll just use the Honda, thanks.

I didn't go the last lefty properly, but at least I beat the A. Senna #1 event time (of mine) with that last "blue lap".
That's about 100 minutes in or, on track, sans perhaps some start to finish red, slow laps. I don't even want to talk about the track, but I'll say this: like in traffic there, try right first. 👍

 

[bjl23]

@Failmaster21 welcome to the challenge hub mate, if your not sure which event to do first do the NO-TUNE CHALLENGE first so I can place you in Div 1 or Div 2.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
