THE CHALLENGE HUB, CHALLENGE COMPLETE

[slybynight]

This Dallas/Toyota/Laguna business is proving a bit more challenging though......

@bjl23 That Elan is looking schweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! - Though the A pillars and windscreen surround look ridiculously fragile! Pure Colin "Mr less-weight" Chapman!

107 hours spent so far, the body needed a lot of work.

Nice no-tune time.

 

[slybynight]

Man, you are a fast worker! - that looks like about 500 Fifth element hours!

 

[CorbinDallas]

I use TC 0, ABS 1, ACTIVE STEERING off, ASM off and SRF on.
No cutting, try TC off as it slows you down on the exit of corners. (let the tyre smoke)


Welcome to the HUB and GT PLANET. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks for your friendly welcome bjl23. If I do have any questions, I'll be sure to ask.

 

[Failmaster21]

Thanks for your friendly welcome bjl23. If I do have any questions, I'll be sure to ask.

I would like to offer my welcome as well, love to see new members (like me a year ago)!

 

[slybynight]

@CorbinDallas , if you scroll down page one, past this rounds race instructions, you will eventually get to the "winners" post. Under the Invitational section you can see all the nicknames people often use here.

 

[CorbinDallas]

Ok, the seat has been raised 3 inches and brought forward 6 inches (Dallas is a big fella). The steering wheel has been lowered. The "special shoes" (Dallas knows about these (though they wouldn't fit him)) are on, and Rammstein is on the ICE system. Dallas's supremacy in this house is about to be challenged.

Joking aside this is a proud moment, when I met Corbin, he was pretty much bottom of my leaderboard. Now I am in the raceroom at gone midnight trying to beat him.

Yes, Slybynight, your right. I remember my first race was in that Mazda around BrandsHatch when I did a very slow 2.19...., now am down to 1.55.699 - a testiment to my hard work

 

[CorbinDallas]

Nice one, thank you

Thank you Sly, av seen all the nicknames people use here, but it will take some time to get use to everyone.

TMDC is unnerving. My instinct is still to countersteer, but that only leads to embarrassment here if it's anything bigger. The left-to-ascent turn... I don't think I did one good entry & exit there today. No bonus.

So, a Human among us, that's cool. 👍

First of all i want to welcome our new member @CorbinDallas and the Fifth element that bring him to our company .
As for me all these days was a bit of F... with a touch of F.... and some F.... just for spare use.
Just did an hour ago 3 races for school ,am uploading the most successful and thats all.
If time left tomorrow i might try a something else but definitely all this week was waisted in terms of playing.
Am not in a good shape for various reasons but i hope for better days unless Merfy's law continue to affect me .
Looking forward for better days .


@skeagracing am almost about to loose this class ,if it wasn't today , tomorrow it will be to late.

I hope to get some time on Laguna tomorrow. - I have culinary obligations for most of the day, so it may come down to the wire......

Normally about an hour before the dead line

 

[smoothbore12]

I had a chance to choose an event this morning ,so i pick up the no tune .
After couple of laps of experiments ,i choose Active steering off cause it proved more helpful than when was at Mid or Strong .
I set BB 6-8 and did 4 races
Don't know if was helpful that i did late night yesterday the class lesson but it worked.
Leaving aside first run the results are following like this.

And here a vid with my first lap only cause judjing from the 12 hours needed to upload a 9.40 vid for school ,the 5.10 minutes will take more than 6 hours
Second lap was identical anyway .


Pleasing my fashion manager who spend an hour for it early last week ,here is my outfit for school and the round.

PS
Don't know if I'll find " room " to help my Dallas see California but if i did I'll let you know no matter the outcome is .

If you wait till the last minute to send me your school video it will delay the post of the results. Secondly the school runs for two weeks so I do not understand last minute videos for the school!!

 

[nostradavor2]

bad lap honestly..looks like im rusty

took me LONG time to go under 30.0 but there is a LOT of time still there

 

[Failmaster21]

Man I'm slow

 

[bjl23]

Man I'm slow

You have been away for a long time. It was a surprise to see you posting a time.


Div 2 is looking great, now wheres the Div 1 guys?

 

[CorbinDallas]

Guys: Here is my attempt at the Toyota Meet Dallas Invitational Event. Is nothing to write home about, but I gave it my best shot. Just could not string a perfect race together.

1000th post from me here

First I wanted to thank to Hugh @RMan72 for not showing up this round.

Second Bryce @bjl23 can you please not steal my Invitational win, I posted 1.29.8 time on Laguna Seca together with tune on post #8599

Third Babis @smoothbore12 Tommy Kaira actually looks that good that I downloaded a pic. Also I watched your Silverstone lap, you'd do faster with no Traction Control

To make my 1000th post have some worth I wanted to inform all of you that if everything goes well, Tinkerbell will become a dad before summer 2021 ends

 

[slybynight]

Hey!! Many congratulations @nostradavor2 . I'd better set my mind to beating you in the next few months - because I predict you will be taking a break from the Hub in the summer!

You'll be back.


In about 18 years!

PS Your first nappy makes the racing school seem easy!

 

[slybynight]

Bah - Pipped at the post by @smoothbore12 !
