Week 87: Running With The Wolf

[Firestarter75]

I am drafting but I forget the field I was goin against.... were some high powered cars though. We'll see, I'll try leaving it in 2nd, I was starting in 1st so that may have been the issue.. that I am near the bottom in times.

 

[markprichard]

Only managed a couple of goes so far, but to get times up on tuff's board(ta mate for your work there:its the quickest way to check using my Nokia 9210!!GTP main pages take AGES,yours flies along!!)
Lap1 T1 38.537 T2 1'04.095
Lap2 T1 29.469 T2 54.605
Lap3 T1 29.339 T2 54.433
Much to improve to catch you all,and it felt like I could get quite a bit more too.....

 

[Tomski]

Did 3 race attempts so far.
Splits from my best lap were 28.8 / 53.0

"It takes about a half hour to get there... I'll be there in less than ten minutes." (The Wolf)
-Harvey Keitel

Btw, I'm not entirely sure about that quote, but I think you all get the drift.

Just for the record so we have a proper quote it's supposed to be:

That's thirty minutes away. I'll be there in ten

But you're right, GoKents, we get the drift... lol

 

[k2racer]

Off to the honda dealer and put on some yellow, night vision glasses:

first serious try

38.9 ~ 1.04.2
29.9 ~ 55.4
29.5 ~ 54.9

 

[Tomski]

My first clean run:
Lap1 37.528 / 1'01.900
Lap 2 28.679 / 53.286
Lap 3 28.712 / 53.484

 

[Luxy]

Another two 3-lappers, but no clean race

Best splits so far:

37.8 / 1'02.9
28.8 / 53.6

Now it's just a matter of getting enough time to sit down and bang it out

 

[daan]

Got a clean one that I'm pleased with. Probably won't get another chance to improve it. I'm just going to submit this one.

37.713 - 1'02.476
29.025 - 53.636
29.062 - 53.600

 

[GT3mich]

I ran this yesterday.
37.652 / 1:02.083
28.914 / 53.505
28.704 / 53.170
If I can get that second lap down close to my 3rd lap in time, I'll be happy.

 

[CFM]

Started working on this a couple days ago, did a few hotlaps and races today and came up this for my best clean race so far:


37.654 / 1:01.959
28.773 / 53.350
28.601 / 53.530

I had a good first lap but my second & third laps leave alot to be deisred. It's tough to run 3 clean laps in race that compare to a good hotlap.

 

[tuff240]

Leaderboard is current to this post.

Added a new color.
Hot pink shows us the fastest sector times so we can easily pick out what is possible. I just highlighted the first lap fasest sector times and the flying lap fastest sector times. No real need to do both flying laps.

Looks like really good close battles in both D1 and D2. Very close racing for everyone.

The top 3 in D1 are seperated by less than 2 tenths (at T2) over a 3 lap race.

D2 is as close as always with me and NielsG less than a tenth apart for top spot in D2. k2racer is trailing a little bit, but you can see in his 3rd lap he has the speed to close the gap. Keep at it k2! 👍

 

[Ev0]

Ran some times, nothing too impressive yet, but more is coming.

 

[Iceman]

New best at 1:02.650, 53.540, 53.667. Are we allowed to discuss best lap times?

 

[Kent]

New best at 1:02.650, 53.540, 53.667. Are we allowed to discuss best lap times?

Time Discussion: All "T" Times.

Nothing about lap times being allowed.

Just t times buddy.

Save the lap times for the results.

 

[Iceman]

Just wondering because of the multi lap race, but thanks anyway. Great combo by the way 👍.

 

[Tedehur]

First session was mostly spent trying to learn the combo, but almost all races (6 in total) were clean.
My best so far is :
38.383 - 1'03.070
29.521 - 55.113
29.033 - 54.343
which makes a total T2 of 2'52.526

Improvement expected by monday evening.

 

[tuff240]

Thanks for adding them up for me flat-out! 👍
Not required, but it was sure courteous on your part.

I'd like to note that I just accidentally copied a race over my saved run and will have to run it again for sure. I'll leave my time up there for now as I'm sure I can match or better it (and I'm lazy ).

*EDIT - Went and ran it again so I could have a legit time on the board (with a saved replay). Shaved .5 off my overall time and only have .4 to go till I reach my overall goal.

 

[Tomski]

I shaved off about .800 of my previous best run, but the splits look kind of slower compared to my previous one except for the last lap.

New clean save
lap 1 37.722 / 1'02.041
lap 2 28.954 / 53.408
lap 3 28.624 / 53.049

Right. I should have let you do the calculation : I would have had more time to race and you less, so perhaps I would have been closer to your times.

 

[Sjaak]

Racers,is it allowed to touch the pavement?Just after the hairpin for example.

 

[GT3mich]

Do you mean the sidewalk on the left? Watch out for those infamous invisible walls

 

[Sjaak]

Do you mean the sidewalk on the left? Watch out for those infamous invisible walls

Yes, the sidewalk.
invisible walls,if you touch them you can see a speed drop,is that right?

 

[Ev0]

38.238/1'03.592/29.129/54.057/29.516/54.706

Not too fast, but I know where I can shave off time, I just need to contunue to learn about the car and how to properly deal with the understeer.

 

[GT3mich]

The side walk has been OK to ride on in past OLR events. Kent has the final call for this series. And yes, if you touch an invisible wall there is a speed drop.

 

[Iceman]

The invisible one following the right-left after the hairpin is nasty one. Saw bests of 1:02.3 and 53.3 but coulcnt put it all together.

 

[CFM]

The worst spot here for 'invisible walls' is right at T2, the barrier on the right as you exit. It looks like you don't really hit it, but you'll feel it in your controller and see a speed drop if you rub it, so watch out guys

 

[Iceman]

^ Thats the one I was talking about. It really does stink when you are on a good lap and you hit that invisible wall.

 

[Firestarter75]

Grrrrr, still ain't figurin this place out, ah well, lets see what I can manage tonight

 

[prisonermonkeys]

Whoa, just found out the hard way that you gotta take the first and last sectors totally differently to when you race normally, lol!

 

[Tedehur]

3 more races and my new best says :
38.264 - 1'02.972
29.520 - 54.504
29.218 - 54.034
which makes a total T2 of 2'51.510, 1 second faster than the previous clean save.
