Week 80: The Power Of 8

[Eagle]

Just ran my first 5 laps, settings seem sorted.

T1: 0'16.018
T2: 0'58.642
T3: 1'23.271

I seriously need to find the braking points though.

 

[Ev0]

Ran about 10 laps before going to bed, and managed to improve my final lap time by 0.6s, with an almost identical T3...

 

[Eagle]

I missed the ceremony Ev0 but congrats on making it into Div 1 👍

Just took a second off my time, loads more everywhere I look, car's just sliding too much under braking. Nothing to do with setup, just my bad driving lines ^_^

T1: 0'15.933
T2: 0'58.324
T3: 1'22.881

 

[WSSSUP]

Been awhile,

t2 - 58'248
t3- 1'22.448

hopefully i remember to hand my time in

👍

Springs@12, LSD 5/5/5

It's interesting how much time is lost at various spots.

My original target has dropped by 1.2sec.

I'll not see it, but it's something to chase.

edit:
15.527
57.285
81.231 (.1 under original target)

g'nite all!

I did 2 more laps and got 16.7 / 58.9 / 1'24.4 with the settings I PMed you.

That's a speedy second section you got there. 👍 Maybe because of your softer suspension. Looks like I'm doing a bit better on the straights, though.

I'll make sure to get some race time to night.

Hopefully I get a chance to run this soon and not just update everyone's t times.

Here are the real times :
T1 = 16.840
T2 = 59.889
which means I ran the second sector in 43.049 while your best is at 43.122
we're both far from Oliver DePlace's 41.7 sector :grump:

T3 = 1'24.468
And I improved my lap time by 1.2 second.

I'll use the tranny trick tonight, this should solve my top speed problem.

 

[Sjaak]

T1-16,118
T2-59,078
T3-123.880
Looks like a battle with NielsG and flat-out this time.

 

[Ev0]

15.632/58.077/1'22.264 although I have run T1s in 15.5xx

Tuning the LSD made a world of a difference in handling.

 

[Michael K]

I think my skills will only allow for another .3 seconds improvement at t-3. Damn these thumbs!

15.515
57.700

New best clean lap at 16.739 / 59.559 / 1'24.368 and I had an almost clean 1'24.1
There's still work to do to have a real battle, sjaak, but I'm starting to use a clear driving line and I expect a 1 second improvement by the end of the week.

For those who might care, here are my current settings :
6.5 / 4.0
146 / 146
7 / 7
9 / 9
2.0 / 1.0
0.0 / 0.0
4 / 4

24 / 24 (I've never seen a reason for not braking as hard as possible)
10 - 15 - 10
Auto 18 +tranny trick, final drive at 3.800
0 / 0

 

[IforceV8]

Thanks ODP. 👍

New splits.

15.534 (best 15.3)
56.983
1.21.289

Made a small mistake at the first hairpin after T2 that cost me .3 but i gained it all back after T3.There is stil another .8-1 sec out on the track but im out of patience today.

 

[Ev0]

flat-out, try stiffening the springs and the sway bars, it should give more crisp handling. If you want I can post my settings for those later.

 

[The Missing Link]

THis one is fun... but my wrist is acting up.. hopefully I can finish out the week
15.467 // 57.123 // 1'20.915

 

[Kent]

IforceV8,
I'm glad to see you found the weekly this week.
I guess odp helped? (thanks odp)

Hope to see you enjoy it.

Everyone else,
back later, but dinner now.

 

[Luxy]

ARRRRRRRRG.

Just ran 15.5 / 57.1 / 1'21.4xx

then as I was exiting the race, my PS2 crashed ... blinking white box ... forever ....



Awsome combo kent, it's fun with a car that doesn't have too much power

EDIT: Hot damn it came back! After 15 mins, and taking the disc in and out a half dozen times, I was able to save my lap!

 

[tuff240]

I finally got about an hour to try this tonight and I'm really enjoying it except I can't get my silver RX-8 to add the port/polish and balancing for some reason. My black one already has it, but it's hard to see the dark car on this dark course.

My splits for my best overall lap are:
15.827 (best clean T1 is 15.434)
58.486
1'22.746 (best clean T3 is 1'22.5xx, but choked it in the last turn. )

Leaderboard is updated also.

 

[Eagle]

Competition is certainly hotting up. Sadly I've been unable to post lol.

T1: 0'15.822
T2: 0'57.966
T3: 1'22.247

Took another second off my time, gonna play with the handling a bit more, possibly brake bias.

 

[tuff240]

New best T1 of 15.276!! but threw it away at the 2nd chicane.

Looks like a battle with NielsG and flat-out this time.

Great. 👍 But beware that a battle with me usually indicates you're in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I expect a 1 second improvement by the end of the week.

Looks like you're gonna need that. I'm now at :

16.243
59.171
1'23.551

 

[Oliver DePlace]

Good thing you have two. Try turning up the brightness on the TV. (or drive 1st person)
Is the silver car down on power? (394hp)
If your turning low 15@T1, then it's probably ok.

Anyway

15.680
56.963
80.752 submitted

I'm done until Sunday night/Monday morning. Hi Ho Hi Ho...

 

[tuff240]

Yes, the silver car only has 361hp vs the black ones 394hp. I've just been running the black one.

I "got in" the silver one and went to the tune shop to purchase the balancing and the port/polish upgrades but it says they are already purchased. Then in Free Run when I go to "Change Parts" it shows that they are not installed and I only have 361hp. I remember taking them off in mk's for another race where no hp mods were allowed, maybe I need to add them back on the same way. That's the only thing I can figure.

I'll figure it out or make do with the black one.

Nice lap ODP. 👍

Put in a few laps before work this morning, and knocked off a half-second overall:

15.559 / 58.688 / 1'20.715 - clean!

It still feels like there's a few places I could gain ... dunno if I'll have a chance to try.
