I think I'll pass on this one. Running fully tuned Rally cars on this track just doesn't work for me. Knowing me I'll wind up smacking every stinkin wall on this track just trying to control this beast.

 

[Flerbizky]

Guess I better give this one a shot.. Gives me an excuse for firing up the PS2 which has been collecting dust the last 2½ month...

Cheers..

Im going to try this if I can find the time - Ive never run a rally weekly and dont have any experience of the rally cars in GT3, but Im going to give it a shot - Looks like bottom of Div 2 for the second week on the trot for me !!

 

[Oliver DePlace]

I got home Sunday night and now they want me on a flight Tuesday afternoon.
I guess that's the problem with all of these new fangled communications devices.
They can find you anywhere.

Hopefully, this means I'll be back Saturday or Sunday. Yeah...sure.

Good luck and have a happy.

Good to see ya Flerbizky.

 

[WSSSUP]

Nice Combo Kents..
I'll be giving this a run tonight and probably handing in my time tonight as well.

Family death over the weekend, and will be away for a week or 2.
This will at least keep my mind of things, for a few hours.

Have a good race guys...

 

[tuff240]

I'm assuming since it's rally, we can mow some grass?

No place to really go off on this track, just no wall touches then, right?

Got almost 2 hours in on this one already tonight.
T1 32.9
T2 59.9
T3 1:21.6

Not really a "rally guy", but I do enjoy sliding the car around. 👍

Everyone getting 478 hp? I was hoping for a little more power when I saw it was a fully modded car.

 

[Terrible Tigers]

Giving this a go. Not quite sure whether I dare touch any settings other than switching off TCS and ASM

T1: 0:33.410
T2: 1:01.940
T3: 1:25.082

Everyone getting 478 hp?

Yup me too tuff240.

 

[tuff240]

The TCS and ASM don't work on rally tracks. No need to turn it off, PD did it for you.

Thanks, I should have known that

 

[BigJamesGTI]

This is going to set me back a few credits too I bet !!

 

[tuff240]

Just did a few more laps. Had a really good lap and finished up well. That might be it for me already.

Best lap:
T1 32.512
T2 59.695
T3 1:21.315

 

[WSSSUP]

Wish i had bit more time but oh well.

Fair bit off the pace:
T3 of around 1.23'xx4???

Time submitted....
Have a good race guys.

 

[NielsG]

Thanks Kent.

This is going to be fun. Great idea to mix the pure joy of rally with the challenge of getting a fully modded EVO through the Maze. 👍

Can't wait to get started. Guess the kids are going to pay the prize and hit bed early tonight.

 

[scuderia229]

EDIT: Ya I read to fast.....maybe I'll do few laps in this but I am not going to have much time....

...my wife and I are going to Indy Thur for the USGP and coming home on Monday night late.

Still guys have fun

 

[heero 12]

I'm betting that my first clean lap will come around ten minutes before deadline, but I guess it's better than not competeing right?

 

[NielsG]

Another lame arcade car.... another week I sit out....have fun guys.

I think you are reading to fast, scud.

Right.

 

[tuff240]

Hopefully we will have a SIM race soon!

Errrrr.... I really hope this is a garage car, not an arcade car.
Otherwise I now know what a garage Evo in fully modded form will do in my hands at Tahiti Maze for absolutely nothing.

 

[scuderia229]

I think you are reading to fast, scud.



Right.

fixed....I will give this a shot tonight (would be my one and only session) but don't expect to be competitive....

this is the one and only lancer in GT3 I seem to be able to drive..... and "The Maze" is "The beast"

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

I'll give this one a quick spin, or maybe not so quick, as I'm not into rally in GT3. I'll try to get a decent time in. I have a feeling it will take a while to get a clean lap.

 

[Famine]

T2 59.9

Save me Jebus!

1'02.2

 

[angelx]

i haven't been on dirt in about a year or so, this will be an interesting challenge, ill try my best.

 

[tuff240]

Save me Jebus!

1'02.2

LOL!
Well I didn't run that right away and I'm sure someone will go faster.....they always do. Now if I can just figure out how "they" do it, I'll be all good.

I have spent about 3 hours on this so far and I am about as far as I'm going to get I think. Admittedly I do like this track and go decently well here for some reason. Maybe it was all the time I spent here getting gold R licenses. Trust me, that was a LOT of time, although almost 3 years ago.

Still waiting for the rally guys to post some T times and put me in my place.

 

[GT3mich]

T2 58.888 And I haven't even touched the trans yet.

Anyone got an idea where we start Tunin' this thing??? ...UB57

One small wall touch though. 👎
