The Weekly Arcade Time Attack: Week 5

[GT Pro]

Welcome all to the ‘Weekly Arcade Time Attack’ series, whereby the ultimate aim is to be able to establish GTPlanet-dominated 'online rankings' for each and every car & track combination posted on each Sunday that begins the week, as well as helping find our true positions of skill amongst all the online GTP racers here.
Once you think that you've nailed your best time, post it and I'll update the first page. The combinations for each week will be decided via PM'd suggestions from participants. I may, however, need to alter some combinations depending on their suitability (short-to-medium length tracks and reasonably easy-to-maneuvre vehicle are currently most sought).

What a perfect way to train myself using the interior view. If I can get good at it, I used to be pretty fast as London too, so maybe I can do a smidge better this time.

 

[Hyper-Dan]

GTP_hyperuk -- 1'02.786, Thought i would throw in a lap to get us started.

 

[Beerz]

1'02.766

First time on this track, I'm still searching for the best possible lines for some turns, and 4 out of 5 times, I turn too early or too late for the final corner.

My best T1 was 16.135, but on the lap above it was a 16.3xx

 

[zocker_16]

I hate London
Time so far 1.02,259

 

[Hyper-Dan]

I hate London
Time so far 1.02,259

I like London, buy i loath that GTI. Gutless and boring to drive.

 

[Chadwicksracing]

1'02.788 FF cars

 

[Wardy 944]

Which golf gti and which direction?

 

[Beerz]

Which golf gti and which direction?

I also had doubts about which one to use, it's not stated anywhere. I'm using the V.

Direction is normal, not reverse.

 

[JosVerstappen]

the 05 one?

 

[Chadwicksracing]

I used the 05 one.. heh I might do the 02 one too to just get it in the top ten

 

[Hyper-Dan]

I was also using the 05, I didnt even look at the rankings for the 02.

 

[Jake]

Running the '05 with a 36th spot. 1'02.505 👍

 

[MisterWeary]

Currently on a 1'02.390. I'm hoping to break into the 1'01.xxx before I'm done.

EDIT: 1'02.221 and I can see another 0.3 in sectors 1 and 2 👍

 

[Vaxen]

First cut:
1'02.272

 

[Beerz]

What sector times are you guys pulling?

 

[MisterWeary]

Well in my lap I had:

T1: 16.2xx
T2: 33.3xx​

However I have seen:

T1: 15.9xx
T2: 32.9xx​

So I will be shooting for the sub 1'02 mark 👍

 

[Beerz]

Mt best T1 was 16.135 and T2 was a 33.2xx.
My first time on this track, so a lot yet to learn. I'll give it another go today to try and shave some tenths. 👍

 

[bobzed]

Does my 1'02.233 count if I set it on wk25?
I'll try to improve that though...

 

[nd 4 holden spd]

1'02s eh? Well I'm crap, and I'm about to make an attempt. I'm now guessing a 1'03.

 

[WayneGTC]

I gave it a 15 lap trial ( I love London !)

T1 - 15.989
T2 - 32.889
Fin - 1'01.875

Can be improved on T2 & T3

 

[Timppaq]

#8 - Racecleanstupid - 1'02.788

I'll do my best...

 

[Hyper-Dan]

New time is 1'02.357, for now anyway.

 

[nd 4 holden spd]

Well I really tried with the interior view, but it's just not fast. At first I couldn't break 1'03, then I set a ghost lap in the "chase" view, then I could only do high 1'02s in the interior view, so I switched back to chase view, and ran a 1'02.2xx (I can't remember the exact time, if anyone is online now and could check my time in the rankings that would be great). Why is the interior view slower anyone?

 

[Timppaq]

It's not like the view is slower.. you haven't just adjusted to it yet..

 

[Chadwicksracing]

I'll do my best...

I think I should switch when I do these huh? lol At least now I will have two of my PSN in the top 100

 

[nd 4 holden spd]

It's not like the view is slower.. you haven't just adjusted to it yet..

No, see you use bumper cam, I mean the actual interior view, with steering wheel, dash, hands and all. I adjusted to it over yesterday and today. I can be reasonably quick in it (enough to beat punters and maybe a few of the slower clean drivers), but no matter how damn hard I try, it's still 0.5-1.0 seconds slower than the chase view. (Which in turn is some 2-3sec slower than you guys.)

 

[Timppaq]

I've driven some time with the interior view, and in some corners I'm faster with it too. The extra wheel in my sight turning in no sync with the "real" wheel confuses me and I just can't drive the esses in Suz, for example, as good as in the bumber view.. but that's another thread..

But it is harder in some way, not necessarily slower, though.. ..I know there are very fast people who uses the interior.

 

[vanubermaster]

I love driving this track aswell, gonna put in afew laps

 

[nd 4 holden spd]

Did anyone online now find out my time? My PS3 is already off, and will be off for 24hrs. (I should be asleep right now)
