Week 77: Small on the Horses, Big on the...

[Eagle]

I'm down to 52.699, getting better.

 

[Darin]

Please ma'am, I'd like some more.

I'm fresh out of stock of that item. Select another item.

 

[rollazn]

I found out I can improve on the final time, but not much on my T1s.

I wish I can reveal my final time but lets just wait till the results.

I hope I win. Darin will be on my butt I bet.

 

[Eagle]

I'll take a large Coke and fries then thanks.

I'm wondering if less grip would do the car well, I almost feel like I'm being slowed down by my tires at time. Engine burn in should provide me with what, another 7BHP maybe? Huzzah.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Less grip....crazy, It needs more grip.

 

[tuff240]

Well I have always sucked at this track, but after a couple tips from Sphinx and LOTS of trying to do what he said, I pulled a full second off my second sector to be competitive with the other D2 guys.

My new best T2 is 52.292
More to come when I get a chance to run it again. Took me a full hour to figure out how to run through the second sector decently even after Sphinx told me where the line was. Now that I finally found it, I can clean it up and work on shaving a couple more tenths.

Thanks Sphinx! 👍

 

[Flerbizky]

I second ROAD_DOGG - This crazy little car needs MORE grip.. Tons more grip.. With that said, with Rons settings as base :

T1: 24'393
T2: 52'639

Thanks Ron 👍 Appreciate your help !...

 

[Flerbizky]

Thought I'd take the opportunity to post a "T2 Leaderboard". Someone used to do this when I first came to the WRS, but they left shortly after.

Anyways, here it is:
(I based division placements on Weekly Race Series. Driver Classes.so I hope they're up to date )

* indicates that I couldn't find the driver located on the list linked above. (One more for Kent's to-do list!)

This should actually have it's own closed thread so that on weeks with 7+ pages you wouldn't have to look for it (takes precious time away from racing )

That's a brilliant idea, Flerbizky. 👍 I'll second that.

 

[Pink_the_Floyd]

Ya'll wonder why I don't was in week 76?My PC is broken down so no week 77 and week(s) till 80 .Hopely I can drive soon in the WRS.

 

[banjobear]

Improvement here!

24.315
51.805

Might be giving you some work to do this week, Niels.

 

[eggmann]

Ooops, I mised the 101st post, so this could be at the top of Page 2. Oh well, close enough.

[Smallhorses]

Wooohooo!
I'm back from vacation and looking forward to having a crack at this race!
Thanks for not using the Mini while I was away Kent!

Also I bought a MAX drive to save my best laps to as Oliver DePlace suggested a few weeks ago during the TS020 saga.

A word of warning about the MAX drive though.... at the moment, the saves are in .max format which can't be uploaded for an X-port, which most of the rest of you seem to have. The only way to convert the replays at the moment is to find someone who has both a MAX drive and an X-port to do the conversions.
There's a guy called Venger75 on the codejunkies website that has volunteered to do this, until a PC based software conversion package becomes available, but you have to e-mail files to him to be converted. Obviously this is a little time consuming.
Here's a link to Venger75's conversion thread MAX drive to X-port conversions

 

[eggmann]

I also have both an X-Port and MaxDrive. I'm not about to volunteer my "conversion service" to the general public but I can help out our Weekly Racers when the need arises.

 

[Flerbizky]

That's a brilliant idea, Flerbizky. 👍 I'll second that.

I'm getting soo full of myself hearing things like that

But yes, I think it's quite an idea - it'll of course put a lot more stress on the Eggmann, so I think he should be the one who decides - if Kent likes the idea as well that is

 

[Mr P]

running consistent 50.9's T2's now

seen a 23.6/50.7 and on the very last bend before the final straight I cut the rumble too much

... that lap was a keeper and I'm really pissed

The mini is making me mad

Mini madness strikes again

 

[Sphinx]

Great times there Ron.

I'm about to start my second session and will let you know how it goes. Talk about pressure and trying to keep up with the jones's

 

[NielsG]

Improvement here!

Damn you, banjo.

Whatever happened to "sliding all over the place"? Laid your hand on some secret settings, eh?

Don't worry. I'll get there too, so you better continue improving.

What is that!?

 

[Flerbizky]

What is that!?

A scoreboard, what does it look like ?.. With this we can follow the progress of each racer...

And eggmann needs to update my best T2 to 52'516

Well, The sectors I posted where only my first lap.
So don't think my sectors match my final time.

 

[rollazn]

Same with me. My final are better . Can't tell you guys.

That's not the point. It's not meant to match the "official results" which GoKents posts on Tuesday morning. It's only purpose is to gauge how you are doing versus everyone else up to T2 (based on what they have posted so far). It's everyone's prerogative whether or not they want to post T2 updates throughout the week, or ever post any T2 times at all.


Regarding making the T2 Leaderboard have its own thread, it wouldn't be any additional work for me, but I think it may interfere with the spirit of the Weeklys (people would look there and not as often in the actual Week's thread). I'll leave that up to Kent.

I always post my fastest clean T times. Why bother lying about it? The slight off T times really tell you how fast you can go, but the clean T2's are the ones that count at the moment.

I like having the T2 leaderboard posted in the thread personally. I don't think an extra post every page or so will make much difference. I also have my number of replies per page set to higher than the default, so even if eggmann posts at the top of a page, it won't be at the top of a page for everybody.

Don't you have some other things to do?

Yep, I've got the "Bananas" setting tuned to "Maximum" 💡

 

[Omero]

I'm having trouble with the gears. I keep losing power when I hit sixth. It's like the car doesn't want to drive anymore after I get to the 115 range...

If you're using Mr P's gears, they're set to be a 5-gear setup, 6th is only there because the game requires it.
If you're using all 6 gears, then you should be able to shorten 6th gear to give it "more power".

 

[Omero]

I have the sixth gear "shortened" as far as the game will allow. I dunno, maybe I'll go back to Mr. P's gearing (even though I am getting higher speeds using all 6 gears as well as heightened acceleration).
