Another session:

21.805-38.656
16.083-32.774

Don't think I can go much faster this week. I have always been extra slow at Midfield, multilappers and high powered cars, so this combo isn't exactly for me. :crazy:

So I hope I'll beat you this week (won't start practising before saturday, but I like Midfield), you've been too far ahead of me for too many weeks ;)
You can have your revenge at the next rally event.
 
Finally found about half-hour to run a little... not spectacular, practising elsewhere...

EDIT: Scrubed times, there's a small touch :(

Will try again tomorrow...
 
After nearly wrecking my PS2 out of frustration last night, I finally figured out that I was running Super-Slick Tires. :dunce: Put on some super-softs and I liked it a lot better 👍.

Here are my T-times at the moment:

21.767/38.523

15.969/32.690


Edit: After some more laps, I can see about .7 more. I've seen a 21.4 T1 on the first lap, and a 38.0 off of that, but botched it into the next lap. T1 on the second lap is what usually ruins most of my laps.
 
Never raced this thing before with so much power. Handles nice after all. Only need to work on settings, as I didn't have any for this car.

So far:

21.380 / 38.004 (almost lost it going into the first tunnel :scared: )

15.807 / 32.105

I do use TCS (1) on this car :D

Prize cars are already broken in so 1205 will be the max HP.

If you have a sharkport or maxdrive you can download my race garage, it has all the cars in in so you don't have to stay up all night winning one.:)

I'll skip this race. I hate Midfield, and yet it seems to be used over and over in the WRS. Sucks to be me! :lol:
I think Midfield is overrated, nevertheless, the car is too fun to miss out on. Hopefully I have one on the mem card. Last time I booted up a game of GT3 was back in early August :crazy: I wonder by how much people have improved, and how the newer drivers are doing :scared:
 
Blimey, some of you guys are storming ahead now 👍

I'm still in the process of setting-up in free run, :scared: I just can't get to grips with this car because it just doesn't want to give too much away in terms of finding a good setup, as it seems to do the same regardless of the usual tweaking here and there to gain a little extra from it. :crazy:

I will therefore spend a bit of time to get a clean race under my belt and go from there. Will post some T's later 👍
 
flat-out
So I hope I'll beat you this week (won't start practicing before Saturday, but I like Midfield), you've been too far ahead of me for too many weeks ;)
You can have your revenge at the next rally event.
👍 Glad to hear that, Cyril. Looking forward to getting our old rivalry revived. :scared:

Here's my latest:

21.869-38.172
15.896-32.684

Unfortunately just a slight improvement overall. :(
 
Best save so far has 37.x / 31.x as T2's .... lost a lot of speed in the last tunnel though :crazy:

Quite the turnout for this one :scared:

@Jerry ... catch me on msn and I will send you my set up! 👍
.... just a tad too many threatening drivers in this race for me to want to post it in here and end up in 8th place or summat :dopey:

Good Luck all :)

No reason to be scared.
The T times you posted look like they'll kick you up on div 2 podium another time.
I need hundreds of laps to equal such a performance (I had raced at least 200 laps when I won div 2 back in week 84 or 85), or a huge amount of luck.
 
I still have a lot to do but it's getting there :)

I messed up lap 2 big time but this is my best so far:

21.287/37,752
16.003/32.753 :yuck: 👎

@Ron, I'll be on later mate, catch you then 👍
 
First session and a clean :
22.0 / 38.9
16.3 / 33.0
which makes a T2+T2 of 1.11.9.

I'll go and search some settings for this car, it should be turning much smoother than that...
 
New best after an hour of time:
21.637/37.910
15.849/32.533

Lap two kills me every time. I've been .5 up on my best after the first lap, but couldn't hold it into the second lap.
 
This week is just not my week:

21.959 / 39.093
16.309 / 33.0xx

:yuck: :yuck: :yuck:

I'm not really enjoying it, I dunno how much more I'll run it.
 
T1 21.941
T2 38.926

T1 16.159
T2 33.022

Not a big improvement in T-times,still 1 sec. faster.
 
I start to enjoy this combo.
21.913 / 38.678
16.085 / 33.003

Just ruined a 38.7 / 32.5 with an opposite lock in the final hairpin. Enough for tonight, I'll try again tonight.
 
Sorry guys I'm not sure I'll be able to run this again until I shake of this horrible virus I have taken from my kids :crazy: It has been around most of my family for the last week or so ... and it actually caught up to me :yuck: I wont pull no punches .... I feel like **** ... death warmed up even. they feel worse the older you get :ouch:

If I can shake this off before Tuesday then I will run some more but If not then I will submit my old save 👍 .... anyway here's the set up I was using with a very sad looking tcs setting! ( but it worked for me) :indiff: hopefully someone can make use of it.

4.0/16.0
85/85
10/10
10/10
1.9/1.0
0/0
4/5
18/15
5/20/5
1.00/1.24
asm0 tcs 7 ..... anything you want on tcs, I just use 7 to ride the long left rumble before T2 a bit easier, .... start on tcs 1 and work your way up 👍

gears
2.280
1.630
1.303
1.064
0.898

final 3100
auto 24


Good luck and laters ... back to my death bed :dopey:
 
Hmm... So Ron can be slowed down by biological warfare?

*mental note*
 
:lol: I've been using Ron's settings he so kindly gave me and I shaved about .7 off my time with them. I did lower the TCS to 5 if I remember correctly, it seemed to allow for more speed out of the hairpin.
 
Mr P
Sorry guys I'm not sure I'll be able to run this again until I shake of this horrible virus I have taken from my kids :crazy:

I'm in the same boat as you Ron :yuck: All my kids have it but normally I somehow get away with it. Yesterday it started with a minor headache, aching joints, high temp, urge for a plss every half hour and even now its just as bad :crazy: I've heard that 120 kids are off school around our area because of it. :ill:

A nice strong glass of whisky & coke should sort you out or anything else you can find ;)
 
:dunce: Just spent the best part of an hour marvelling at all of the times posted so far, even the Div 2 racers were way ahead of my abysmal 16.7xx/35.0xx best splits for free-run.

Couldn't figure out why I'm so slow. :dunce:
Also noticed a funny glitch on my GT3 saves.
Although PS2 Browser configuration is set at 12/11/04, the GT3 save of my R390 settings showed up as 12/12/04! Set browser date back to 12/10/04 and the settings resaved show 12/11/04. Anyone got any idea why this is?

Then I realised my car is running mediums! I'm right there with youicemanshooter23 for frustration level!!!!
Put supersofts on, and instantly knock out 16.3xx/33.4xx :ouch:

Just need a clean 2 lap race now!
 
:lol: I was pulling my hair out too, I feel your pain. I had run over 2 hours trying to reach lower division racers and still was over 2 seconds behind. Then I found out I was running super-slicks.
 
Couple of attempts at the race, & I have a clean save now, although I'm positive while I'm only just off the pace at the splits I'm leaving too much time at the hairpin.

Lap 1 T1 21.871 T2 38.197
Lap 2 T1 16.071 T2 32.784
 
Time update *again*
Lap1
T1-21.686
T2-38.096

Lap2
T1-16.056
T2-32.280
Thanks for the settings Mr.P:tup:
Extremly satisfied with this run.
 
Hey Luxy, know I'm way slow and have propped up Div 1 regularly for a while, but, as far as I know there's not been a relegation for a long while, and I'd like to remain in Div 1 for a while yet! :P

t1 - 21.315
t2 - 37.750
