'Bout time, what happened to 12 hours after the results got posted eh?

I have a question cause I can't remember off the top of my head - you can't edit settings on an arcade car can you? Beyond TCS and ASM through the options menu right?

Anyway, I'll definitely do it, get into it this evening when I get home from university.

Well, normally the results would be up in an hour.

And there are no settings for arcade cars.

 

[The Missing Link]

Well there are ASM and TCS settings, but in rally neither of these options are available.

 

[GT3mich]

👍 Expect to see the regular Mudslingers in this one. I'll have a time in. 👍

 

[Eagle]

Well, normally the results would be up in an hour.

To be pedantic, the results would have been up 167 hours ago and 81 along with it, but who cares, all's back on track - no pun intended

 

[Kelly]

I'll be sure to kick up some dirt on this one 👍

 

[Mr P]

👍 Expect to see the regular Mudslingers in this one. I'll have a time in. 👍

Cya there Mich! .... try not to inhale to much of Mr P's dust eh!

... now ... which car for the job?

Have fun everyone

 

[Blake]

Urrgghh, I'll try to put a time in, no promices though.

 

[Mr P]

Blew the dust off my wheel and jumped in the ****** Using NTSC game this week as expected

best T2 so far 35.401 ...still a bit left

... even though It's the T3 thats all important on this track, This is gonna be a great battle with all the dirt maestro's about 👍

Nice one Kent

Actually, I never said the race would be posted with in 12 hours of the results.

In fact, I specifically said that the week 81 race would go up at the end of monday night like usual.

It was the results that were to go up with in 12 hours of my post in the week 80 thread.
That was a few days ago too.

Any way, good luck with the race everyone.

Catchy title this week Kents!

I'll give this whole rally thing another go, gain some experience. Currently I'm running T3s in the mid 57 second range in both the Xsara and the Lancia, but I'm gonna have a go in both Evos soon (This would be a perfect excuse for me to use the Evo for the first time in a WRS).

 

[Tedehur]

I did 10 x 3 = 30 laps yesterday evening to choose my car (not much hesitation by the way, one was faster than the second best by more than half a second).
Then after 9 laps, the best clean lap has :
T1 = 17.508
T2 = 36.631
T3 = 56.640

When I read Ev0's T3 I think I've chosen a car that suits my driving ; he's usually seconds faster than me.
When I read Mr P's T2... Bah, I shouldn't read Mr P's times or I'll just give up GT3.

 

[usernamed]

Nice combo Kent 👍

I'll try to show my rally skills in this one...

 

[Ev0]

I wouldn't use my T3s as a good comparison, I'm terrible at rally (at least in comparison to road racing). I'm sure a good GT3 rally driver could outpace me by at least 3 or 4 seconds in an identical car without much effort.

And I agree on that Mp P statement, that's quotable material there!

 

[Iceman]

Great Race Kent! I just love those rallys. I'll be sure to get a time this week.

 

[cardude2004]

Good, a rally. I like rally races, even if I stink at them.

 

[Kent]

Well I am glad that you all like the combo.

As for me,
I've tried every arcade rally car on this track and out of all of them the lancia delta was the best.

Still slow for division 1, but...
T3: 54.2 Lancia Delta

I suggest the delta for everyone but you may preffer another.

Also, don't forget to submit your car with your time (if you want to have it posted).

Catch you all later on after I get a few laps or something new comes up,
Till then,
Later.

 

[Smallhorses]

Gonna have a thrash at this one, once I get back from Oregon tomorrow.
I'm usually pretty poor on the rally combos so don't expect too much, other than a foundation to support the rest of Division 1 on!!!

 

[Sphinx]

Still slow for division 1, but...
T3: 54.2 Lancia Delta

Is that time correct Kent? If it is then it's breaking my heart and congrats to you mate, nice one 👍

 

[GT3mich]

Still slow for division 1, but...
T3: 54.2 Lancia Delta

That is not slow for Div 1 Kent. That is Mr P time.

 

[Kent]

That is not slow for Div 1 Kent. That is Mr P time.

Then I must have messed up on reporting.

I will check it out in a few and see what's up.

Back soon.

--------------

17.4 -> 36.3 -> 56.1

I knew something was wrong when you said I was on P's pace.

Sorry about the confusion you all, and thanks for the heads up mich.

-------------------

Edit:

Went and raced just a second ago.

Again in the lancia but this time I've got my t times right.

55.5
Still .2 slow in the final section when compared to my previous best.

It will do for now though.
Till later,
-

 

[Sphinx]

T1:0'17.036
T2:0'35.669
T3:0'55.085

 

[Ev0]

Anyone want slow div 1 times? How about 56.9? At least it's an improvement for me...

On that note, anyone know good websites on rally driving technique?

 

[BB96]

i like the rally races ill try and see what i can do you even picked my favorite rally track

 

[Eagle]

Just ran some laps, got used to the track pretty quickly, I tried a few cars and I'm still not entirely sure what I'll stick with.

T1: 0'17.658
T2: 0'36.809
T3: 0'57.016

Finding more with every lap.

 

[NielsG]

17.300
36.255

[Eagle]

Took 3/4 of a second off my lap,

T1: 0'17.711

T3: 0'56.541
