UB57's 5-Lapper

[Kelly]

Submitted my first time to UB last night, a very crap lap 2 has left me with 2 seconds to find.
Should be able to squeeze in another session tonight before deadline

 

[HighonPSI]

New best time submitted this morning.FL was 1:29.877 with an MOV of -2.4.
Will try and get another session in tonight. 👍

 

[CFM]

Had one last go at this Monday night, took a nice chunk off again. 5 nice clean & fast laps, aside from on wall nudge where the AI pinched me against the wall before I blew him away for the final time See you all in the results thread!

Later everyone

BTW, a quick lap time there HighonPSI:tup:

 

[Carl.]

Unless there's a deadline extension, I won't be able to make it in time for tonight. I had to win the car first, which is not finished becaused of *insert a bunch of good excuses *.... I'm still going to try it as soon as I get it, because this looks very challenging. Will you post times after the deadline?

ANNOUNCEMENT!!!​

As of 1700 Hrs CDT / 21 June 04 the "Site" is really acting up & may in fact be down for a few days to change over to a new server. If this in Fact occurs the deadline for submissions will be extended. THANX 👍...UB57

There's your deadline extention, jpm.

 

[Carl.]

Missed it... is the annoucement still valid now that the site came back online before the deadline? (Maybe not all day though, since GTP6.1 is on its way)

 

[GT3mich]

I would think its still valid. The site was down for about 2 days.

 

[Old Geezer]

ANNOUNCEMENT!!!​

Due to the "Site" being down to change over to a new server, the deadline for submissions has be extended to 2000 Hrs CDT / 24 June 04. If there's more trouble today I'll extend it again. Leaderboard to be updated shortly. THANX 👍...UB57

KILLER fast laps I'm seeing here guys!!! Sheesh!!! I'm lucky to have seen low 1'31.xxx consistently! I can't seem to make these harder TX tires stick that well.

BTW UB...It really isn't important to me but next time you update the board... I switched back to MT on my last submission when I gave your settings a go and will likely stay with MT for the duration.

Got it phattboy👍 GREAT Times All!!! Can't think of a better bunch of Racers to be "Bumped Off the Podium" by!!! ...UB57

 

[NielsG]

I'm very sorry UB57, but I'm in over my head in this race, so don't expect a submission from me.
I had numerous other tries, but can't get a clean one. I suppose, I could drive very slow and careful, but it doesn't feel right to do so. After all it's racing.
I gotta admit, I'm not skilled enough to deal with such a hardcore challenge.

Good luck to all you PRO-racers. 👍 See you around.

Sorry to see you go NielsG: You're ALWAYS Welcome in one of my Comps. As a bit of encouragement: I run a LOT of Enduros & have kinda gotten used to "Hard" Tyres so I don't hesitate to use them in my comps. Running on the "Softer" compounds is also a bit easier once you learn to run on the Hard Ones. If you get a little "Bored" w/"Hot Laps", try an Enduro w/Hard Tyres & Lots of HP, it'll be a worthwhile investment. THANX for taking part...UB57

 

[Kelly]

Ok I've managed to take a large chunk off my time Best lap in session was 1'30.014 I screwed that race up right near the end of lap 5, I hate that chicane section before T2

Best run in race save is 1'30.907

I'm pretty happy with this improvement, but if it doesn't move me up any places I might just have to have another go

 

[HighonPSI]

@Lotus350 - Yeah i'm with you on that chicane section before T2,very hard to b consistant through here for 5 laps,Damn those train lines

Am gonna have a 1 last pop at this tonight to see if i can improve a little bit more


Btw i just got my X-Port today so providing i can work out how to use it(struggling at the moment) i'll be able to post my replays from now on.

 

[Kelly]

about the x-port, if you're struggling and need some help with it just ask

 

[Der Alta]

NielsG: I'm about to sit down and fight my way through this one as well. AIming for as clean as possible, should put me right about on par with where you are. Seems in the weeklies, we're usually about even.

Care for a little side competition?

See you at the finish line.

AO

 

[HighonPSI]

Thanx lotus i may need to take u up on that,although i think ive got the hang of the basics.
Will PM you if i run into anymore trouble(prolly be 10 mins or so)

Sorry AO. I'm of to bed for tonight. Work threatening tomorrow. Thank god. It's only 2 more days.

I'm following this race closely, but it has caused me sufficient frustration. So the next days I'll concentrate on Cote d'Azur, trying to just do decently in the weekly (I really hate those narrow magnetic walls ).

I don't know whether to laugh or cry ... I've been running the wrong way

"Magnetic Walls" I LIKE that!!! 👍

Sorry lotus350 but there's stiil time to get a few more races in. Deadline 26.5 Hours away!...UB57

NielsG, I was having a really hard time with this race also and gave it a rest and then eggmann reminded me of the deadline so I gave it another shot last night and ran some incredible times for me. You can do the same thing. Just try to figure out a way thru the AI as fast as you can and then its all easy from there. Give it one more shot.

 

[Kelly]

Well, now I've tried it in the right direction ... totally different race!

My best lap was an ok 1'31.6 but I very much doubt I'll be capable of doing this as clean as required I'll have one more shot tomorrow and hopefully have something to submit. One thing's for sure...I won't be anywhere near the podium

 

[HareTurtle]

Finally got a clean lap to submit, though it's painfully slow; mid 1:35s to low 1:36s. this is a difficult track for me, as I just don't seem to pick up my braking points amid the visual clutter on some of the turns. Starting to see some 1:33s and 1:34s, but not in a clean race yet. I'll give it a few more tries tonight.

 

[Old Geezer]

24 HOURS ​

'till​

Submission Deadline!!! ​

 

[eggmann]

Finally got a clean lap to submit

Hopefully you can string a few of them together so you can submit 5 laps.

 

[tuff240]

Tried for 2 more hours tonight to get a clean run in. It's just not worth my sanity.
Sorry UB57, I'm gonna have to post a DNF for this one.

Screw the podium finishes, this one needs a congrats to everyone that actually got a time in.
I don't know how you all did it. 👍

Damn ,guess i messed up also,i printed the lapper info UB57 sent us and my printer missed the 11 off the end
will do my best to get a clean race the right way,before the deadline.
@UB57-Please pull my race time from the leaderboard

 

[Kelly]

I just didn't see the big II



Guess we are a couple of
