TT# 43: 400PP Miata @ Tsukuba Circuit / 600PP @ Autumn Ring

[GTP_CargoRatt]

To everyone asking me about my 2J. You all are going to have to wait a bit as I'm having PS3 issues right now. When I get things sorted out, I'll put it on. So please be patient. (I'm looking at you Peasantslayer, lol. Have a smoke and relax, lol.)

Peasantslayer is n.1 on the Autumn ring TT so i dont think he's in any hurry

I also have my 2J car set to borrow, so your guys can add me if you want

Oh no, well you haven't seen my pm inbox lately then. He wants my dirty oil 2J.

 

[RobotCowhand]

This is the first seasonal event I've tried and I managed to pull Silver with a '89 Miata. I'll give the configurations in here a chance. Thanks for the advice.

Can someone tell me, why is dirty oil a benefit? Does it lower the PP without a significant change in performance?

 

[Westyrover82]

Is anyone using anything other than a 2J? If so can you let me know which car you are using? I'm struggling to Gold this one at the moment!!!

dirty oil for dirty drivers

NP mate,managed a 9.4 last night will have another try tonight

Damn, pretty fast. I think I can shave off a bit of my time, but 2 seconds... Think I need some more practice easing out of the corners. Good one.

I do use a fair bit of extra track at the start of sector 2.

Sorry for bugging you, I just know that it's only a matter of time before some genetic freak comes along and tries to steal my place.

For Tsukuba, I'm sitting at 1547th, as of yesterday. I've achieved a time of exactly a 1:11.000. But for some reason, getting at least a thousandth of a second faster seems to be beyond me.

Excuse me. I am not a dirty driver at all and I can certainly speak the same for Peasantslayer. You better check yourself on that one.

The MX5 event was - easy - as it should be for anyone who as done the 240 minutes of Tsukuba Enduro.

The Autumn Ring event however made me dig deep into the bag marked "Make it hard for yourself."

First I looked at what cars I had under 600pp - FTO TC... RX7LM - ohh, GT40 1969 vintage...

What a racket - loads of fun, but I was way off Gold pace, but it was good enough for Bronze.

I then stepepd up to a Lotus Elise RM - Quite some distance from 600pp but pocket rocket, and Autumnring (Is it some jokey name like Fallring in the Colonies?) Nice car, but just didn't have the meat to get the speed going... but nice enoguh for Silver.
And I was having fun.

Next up? That RX7 LM - tip top. Car felt so planted... Effortless, Brakes felt a bit vague but the car felt like it was doing all the work. 2 laps and Gold was several seconds behind me.

Had a look at the Leader Board - aha - another 2J benefit ...

What about my racing buddies?

- only 4 tried it and... all used ABS - such slackers.
Then I looked at my own time - and was stunned - ABS=1 TCS=1
---
I then spent 6 laps thrashing the same car but with all that girlyman stuff off... Gah- I was faster everywhere - but I was so narked off I kept runnin out of talent, and the Ghost of smoothless just kept beating me.

Frustrating but fun.

I then had a poke in the RX7 TC (Not quite the same - but nice enough) and after thinking it was not going to happen I just hooked it all up, no powerslides or showboating or any "Notorious Early Braking" (TM) moves.

Thankfully that beat my old time. Job Done.

But I think I may do it again - do 2-3 laps with ABS andTCS on, then see how many laps it takes me to beat it without.

 

[RobotCowhand]

Nice 1-will try this out laters. 👍

Got gold on 3rd lap with this setup using 50/50 weight instead. Thanks.

come on man, i was just breaking his balls haha

 

[numbnuts70]

set up for Tsukuba,see what you think 👍

Had a 10 lap stint and brought my time down from a 9.7s to a 9.3xx.

Thanks pmjg-no doubt you'll get under that but Tsukuba,its a nice little track but,doesn't suit me stabbing away at the sixaxis 'x' button to get traction

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

Alright then.

 

[Bagmup]

Going to try my McLaren F1 GTR at 600pp for Autumn ring.

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

My infamous 2J is now on share. Enjoy.

 

[Bagmup]

I gold the 600pp with the McLaren, went faster again with the GT-ONE Toyota...then i dragged out my dirty 2J and beat both those times, ah well.

If my memory serves me correct there is a threshold of which a drivers ability with any vehicle he is given and what time around the track he can make peaks and he can no longer register a better time or find a quicker racing line. I'm not sure where I heard this. Hell I thought my time of 1.10.883 with a car that wants to 360 on itself or drift out when I am driving it was a personal best around the technical course.

NP Nuts,looked last night on my friends list and noticed you had squeezed in front only joking 👍

 

[mushrum]

@ryk what where your settings on the RX-7 LM to get gold? i dont have a 2j and would like to get gold at least

 

[mushrum]

or if someone has an idea for a car that can make gold on the autum ring im all ears

My friends list might be full, not sure, but you can try sending me a fr and you can borrow mine. Send to cargorat323.

 

[Peasantslayer]

I'm the first one into the 1:05s so I have a good gap but I'll try to extend it to hopefully demoralise some of the chasers. I don't know how much the top time will have improved by the end but thanks to cargorat I'd say a top 5 is very likely, cheers.

I've yet to have a go at this TT yet.

Fancy posting your set-up Mr Slayer?

Not that I'll get anywhere near your time anyways.

I want to but every time I post something I see 10 guests viewing or something at the bottom of the page and I know at least one of them will be faster than me. It's basically a setup that mou-dame_kamo posted in the nurburgring TT, that's all I can say.

He is using my 2J which has very dirty oil (almost 50,000 miles dirty, lol) so its probably not the setup as much as it is the car. Due to not having changed the oil at all, it has more HP than your normal 2J or even one with dirty oil but less miles than mine. This is the same car that everyone was using to improve their times in the last 2J TT, in which I aquired about 60 new friends, lol. And, it has a decent tune on it. So, the secret is out, lol, give it a try.

Haha-ok,no probs-will have a looksee.👍

Yeh-I think I've got your Cargorat account as a m8

I'll give my 2J a crack and then try yours(if thats OK)and see what the difference is.

Yea, pretty sure you are on my list. And be my guest, we can't have Peasantslayer hogging the spotlight, lol. Sorry slayer, the secrets out, lol. Amo and the rest of the aliens will be here shortly, lol, as I've invited them to the festivities. Just having some fun with you my friend.

 

[Kaiser70]

Woooooow, Cargorat, you have reached the maximum number of friends the request cannot be performed....
