Week 76: Family Road Trip

[Tedehur]

The default settings on the car aren't horrible, but I'm guessing you could stand some more downforce. 1.00/1.15 might be a good place to start.
Running 38.2 1:37.6 2:35.3 clean, so far.

I first tried Kent's settings, and the car was handling far better. Then I thought the increase in downforce would be the principal responsible for this, so I put back my settings, except for the downforce that I left at 1.00 / 1.20

I ran 6 laps and improved my best lap by 1.5 second on each lap, so 9 seconds at the end of the session.

Submitted time is : 38.3 / 1:36.8 / 2.34
Thanks to Kents for his settings (which I carefully saved ) and thanks also to Hare Turtle.
Since I'll be away for 2 weeks, I'm uploading my replay in this thread. It's closer to 'worst lap' than to 'best lap' so it shouldn't bother.

BTW, I tried the same track with a stock Mini (just for fun) and got a T3 at 4'11.

ahhhhhh the suckage... i need to get better at the first slalom and "the castle" section.

it looks like there are WAY faster times than mine out there. time submitted. good luck to everyone.

umm flat-out, why you attached your best lap time replay? you do that in the results thread ya know...

I know and I usually do so, but I'm away for 2 weeks and I leave tuesday morning early, so if I don't post my replay today, I don't post it until week 79.
Since I'm a slow div. 2 driver, it shoudn't cause much trouble. In addition to that, I have a poor final sector and I could expect to be 1 second faster with the same T3.

 

[HeinrichII]

oh ok, sorry for the misunderstood.

Btw time submitted
T1 = 0'36.490
T2 = 1'34.246
T3 = 2'30.956

Cya on the finish line

@flat-out:
Send GoKents a PM and ask if he would be so kind as to post your replay in the results thread. If he says, "OK", then attach it to an email.

If he says, "No way in hell", then just post it in the replay thread, when you return.


Though you may feel that your time is too slow to be of significance. That is not your call.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

You shouldn't have put the time in the file name. Then, at least you could've hoped nobody would download it until 12.

 

[rollazn]

I can't wait for the results! You guys are just too fast. My T3 is nothing compared to those of Division 1 drivers.

 

[Kent]

Hey all!

Approx. 3 hours till the deadline.

So get those times in.

Also, Flat out,
Send me that replay in an email.
I sent you a pm with my address, so that should settle that.
Oh and I edited out the replay from your previous post.
Sorry.

Regarding the race...
I am really unhappy with my week of racing.

So forget all this posting crap... I will be back after I do some laps.

Later.

 

[tuff240]

Approx. 3 hours till the deadline.

So get those times in.

Kent and all the WRS racers,

Can I get a one or 2 hour extension?
I should get home around 11pm my time (3 hours from this post).
I'm stuck at work and can't remember my splits or my overall time.

Sorry, I didn't think I was going to have to work this late.
My time is probably the slowest Div 1 time anyways.

If not, I understand completely. 👍

I'm headed out right now so send it in when you get home.

I will take a look at it if you get it to me before I would have naturally posted the results.

So really, it's a race for you.

Can you get home and get your time sent before I get drunk and get home.

Deadline is in 1 hour, 15 minutes

So good luck all!
And get those times in.

 

[scuderia229]

time submitted with a;
38.781 / 1'38.836 / 2'36.868

Not what I wanted but I got busy late last week and over the weekend, never got a final session. I realistically had 2-3 seconds I could have got with more laps and some gear tuning and then maybe another 1 sec beyond that that I really would have had to work for. Still off pace for Div 2 but I enjoyed this one alot.

See you all next week.

 

[tuff240]

Ignore my previous post.
I busted my butt to get done earlier and get home.

Time submitted - 37.784 / 1'34.747 / 2'32.846

Not very fast, but at least it's 100% clean and on time

 

[cinjun8]

Hi,
I was able to improve a bit,and lost
the force feedback right at the last turn.
It cost me some time,but I was lucky to save it.
Nice race Gokents!
Time Submitted.
T1-35.176
T2=1:31.391
T3=2:26.401

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

I submitted my time. I don't really know the T times.

I dropped a blistering .3 over the run I made a couple days ago.

That run had 36.4, 1'31.8, and 2'26.5

 

[rollazn]

Hey GoKents! I have a question, I do not see my name on the driver list, and I know I have registered when Boom was still in charge. It is probably in the Weekly Race Series Archive.

I will look it up. Moreover, here it is!

https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=38703

You will find my name there.

I just want to point this out, since I registered back when Boom was still in charge, I only have been in one race. Then I took a break, now I am back and just want to make sure that I am still in WRS.

Just want to make sure.

 

[Eagle]

You guys hit the 2'26s eh? Nice work. Best I could do was a 2'28.2 before promptly committing suicide in the elevation slalom.

I don't know how you can be disappointed with your work GoKents, you've helped a few people to vastly improved times and you were the early pace setter quite convincingly, you've barely been caught as the week progressed.

Looking forward to the results and to week 77. I just got yet anotherassignment an hour ago, however it's a simple Java thing I've almost finished already ^_^

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

My main enemy was the circle part. I got the timing wrong and got into the grass.

There is plenty of time left on this combo, just not enough patience.

 

[Eagle]

I think he's passed out on us, I wonder if tuff240 succeeded in his quest.

 

[Kent]

Hey All!

Results in about 5 minutes.

Thanks for being patient.

Hope you had fun this week, and good luck next week.

Cya there.

Oh and Eagle, Thanks.
btw, the one who "passed out," is that me you speak of?

Only a few drinks into the night here, still got plenty left in me.

 

[Eagle]

Yeah I thought you might have had a little much to drink and forgotten all about your WRS responsibilities. I mean, who goes drinking on a Monday night? It's unheard of.

 

[Kent]

I mean, who goes drinking on a Monday night? It's unheard of.

Oh my god.

That is just killin me here.

For real, you have no clue how horrible I am.

I hope for the day when my brother has his own car, or does not work in a bar.

Then again, trust me, there is nothing sweeter than drinking at an up-scale bar on the lake front for free.
