Handling rumble strips in a light MR car is a divine art form... :dopey:

Just got back from... 70 miles of in game driving... so the car now has 135 since I got it today... just on SS11 >_<

New times.. and I know I can cut even more time down...

T1 - 23.386
T2 - 47.008
T3 - 1'25.862

I'm loving this car... great fun!

I just avoid them, simpler I figure

My splits with a new car are 23.7-47.7-1’26.1
The wheel guys are gonna be like 9 seconds in front of me
Have no clue yet about what works tuning wise

This stage is mostly about throttle control coming outta the hairpins with this car. Too much.. and you spin... to little, and you lose time, and depending on how the car is moving, you might jsut spin... :indiff: Gotta love MR cars :dopey:
 
flat-out
Am I using the wrong car ? (364 hp with oil change and no mileage)
I only ran 4 laps with a best clean at :
T1 = 24.681
T2 = 49.238
T3 = 1'28.771
And it's full of late brakings or worse, unnecessary brakings.

Or perhaps it's due to my wonderful settings :lol: :lol: :lol:

Probably, or my overdosis of food & alcohol last days.....I am driving like all the old people driving home from x-mas dinners
:dopey: :dopey: :dopey: :yuck:
 
Leaderboard Updated

Looks like it's gonna be a competitive one this week :mischievous:

@Heinrich/@unified, can you talk me through the first sector? I knew a 23.8 or 23.7 was possible, but I don't know where I'm losing so much time :confused:

Also, anyone care to compare setups?

Here's mine:

7.5/5
95/95
8/8
8/8
3/1.5
0/0
4/4

24/24

10/50/30
auto: 15
fd: 2.5 (I haven't done the gears yet, so don't bother with this. It needs to be shorter)

asm: 0
tcs: 2
 
Luxy... you have my times under HeinrichII's name :indiff: Just thought I'd let ya know ;)

I was hella tired last night... so I should be able to improve some... I could swear there is another second in that let to come out.

And because of the Cote thing... Kent has me listed as a Division One when I had been placed in Two... But I'll take that as a compliment :D

EDIT: I'll get my settings up in a bit I guess... I have a good idea what they are though...

8.4/8.4
84/84
7/7
7/7
4/3.3
0/1.5

12/13

6/42/20

I'll double check them when I get home... Tranny is the tranny trick :dopey:

More edit: Just keep noticing new things to say...

Ok, first section I'm usually going 158~160 MPH into the soft right, and then start braking immediately at the bridge thingy, start my turn in at about 75 MPH, and just barely graze the bump strip. Come out right next to the left barrier, accelerate full on, and at the chicane thing, left off the gas for a split second right as I turn left, and then get back on it to stablize the car - it will probably slide a little. Now, braking for the sharp right I still haven't picked a good starting spot, but turn in at about 55 MPH, and clip the bump strip, then sweep to the right and lift off the gas, swing the car left, so you can get a full throttle exit.

Wanna give me some advice on how to take the area between T2 and T3... cause you make up alot of time there it seems...
 
Nice car, im used to the Elise Sport, but this car has a lot of power :P

My provisional times:

T1: 24.323
T2: 48.275
T3 1.26.863

Last sector was good but I lost some time in t1.

See y`at the track
 
Don't think i'm going to be running this week. Getting some newgames (Metal Gear Solid 3, Ace Combat 5 :)) and those will definetley take up my time. Good luck to everyone competing:tup:. I'm seeing some really fast times :crazy:.
 
Judging form Tannis t3 splits and relative easy to get there, I’d say he’s using a car @ peak power where it seem some of us started with a fresh store bought. . at least that was the case for me. @ 70 miles the car was noticeably quicker , I could manage 47.1 T2’s
 
Just had my first few runs in this pocket rocket ... sweet combo! :)

23.483
47.233
1'25.692

Not using any tcs or asm and it's really fun! I'm just letting this little car drift round the corners and it loves it! 👍
 
I agree RacyBacy, this is real pleasure.Its like indoor go-kart, you find that rythm and its total fun.

New t times from me..

T1 23.270
T2 47.164
T3 1.26.086

Sorry Azuremen .... you and Heinrich posted very similar times right after one another and I mixed them up while typing 'em in :dunce:

Thanks for the walk through on T1 ... sounds pretty much like what I'm doing. Finding the braking/turn in for the 90 degree right (after the chicane) is killing me, I think.

I'm not sure exactly what I did between T2 / T3 :confused: When I have a minute to look at the replay, I'll give you a walk through (I haven't had a chance to pick this up again, I'm under a tight deadline at work :crazy: )

Interesting LSD settings you got there. Might work.

Look. I'm having serious understeer probs. How should I solve this ?
 
Jeez Tannis, give me a brake.Your times are incredible quick :scared:

Ill have to dig deeper, but I bet u get a podium for that hot hot lap 👍

Is that The great racer Tomas Enge in your Prost_Acer avatar zoxxy?


GTP Div.1
GT1, GT2,GT3,GTC,GTP all gold 100% Completed
Gt4_ on arrival!

Remember Brazil!

I'm having serious understeer probs.


:ill: :lol:

Well, to solve this, you can :
- Turn off ASM if it's not already done...
- Set the last but one line of the 1st page (dunno how it's called in english ...) positive
- Low stabilizers
- Low the height of the car

That's all what i found to solve this prob, but i'm not great with settings...
Hope that'll help you. :sly: 👍
 
Try stiffening up the read... like, higher spring rate on the rear, and higher rear stablizer setting...

Me... I haven't made a faster time yet... haven't gotten enough sleep and that stuff... and work... too much time outside in the cold :P

And Tannis.... you settings seem to defy logic. Very loose suspension, but lowered... and the LSD settings O_O But it seems to work... I'll try them out I guess... should be interesting
 
I've been playing with the settings:

22.763
46.350
1'24.230

I'm losing time after T2 but will hopefully get a better time before I submit.
 
I just looked at some of my T times... and realized if I ran the best sections for each.. it would be like
T1 - 23.121
T2 - 46.872
T3 - 1'24.872

But I always fudge up at lest one... my best T3 came outta this...
T1 - 23.512
T2 - 47.728
T3 - 1'25.782

See... I have like.. 2 seconds to come off now or something crazy like that... :P
 
Thanks you, both Azuremen and Tannis for the tips :) Going to try 'em out.

Btw' I don't have a clue who that is in my avatar :dopey:
 
Happy new year GTP community :cheers:

Well zooxy. that was Tomas Enge, former F1 driver banned from F1 for smoking jazz tobaco.
Now with Prodrives Aston Martin LM racer project; climbing the Ladder again, but a truly fast driver.GT cars, F1, F3000, IRL, LeMans (class winner),

Too bad you changed it,

Right now it`s Christmas rally in Norway, on snow.
GTP should have one combo on snow 👍

T1: 23.299
T2: 47.294
T3: 1.25.756
