Hey, Im cool with this... I was looking for some good speed after having two weeks of "normal" car racing.

This should be one great week of racing.

I was also thinking about it and couldnt pick where the track or the car would end up falling in the selection process, but I like the picks.

of course I will be back with intitial time impressions soon.

Till then'

 

[Arwin]

Yikes! GVS R, definitely not my strongest track. Which probably makes this pretty worthwhile to run. I'm going to be investing less and less time in these series this month though - need to get in more practice with the Arcade cars for iLink.

 

[Kelly]

Looks good this week

 

[IDAFC21]

woo hoo! ive been waiting for this car to make an appearance. I'll definently put some time into this one this week

 

[made in holland]

It looks better then last week, but everything looks better then last week

Grand Valley Reverse is definetly not my favorite track, but i will hand in a time this week.

 

[pedrodaman]

I,ve got one of these in my garage ..Never driven it this should be fun
I think this car can be rallied but not sure.
Good choice Boom not sure about the car yet

Good luck all

 

[Cobraking]

[Cobraking]

Picked up a spiffy new Falcon from the dealer:

5 Laps got me a starting point of:

T1 22.4
T2 48.8
T3 1'11.8

And an initial setup:

9.0/6.0
55/60 (Needs to be higher, unless you like sparks
10/10
10/10
3.0.2.0
0/0
5/4

20/22

LSD: stock
Gears: stock

Downforce: Max/Max
ASM: 0
TCS: 5

The thing runs like it's on rails! Great match on the car/track Boom (I have despised this car in the past).

 

[pedrodaman]

ok took this Falcon doofler for a quick spin..Must say this is a great car and this is me just discovering this .It's been in my garage for god knows how long..

Anyways
Here's my base splits

T1 21.8
T2 48.3
T3 1'10.9 More to come off

This is the setup im running

16.8 / 12.5
70 / 70
8 / 8
8 / 8
2.8 / 1.1
-2.0 / -0.5
7 / 7
16 / 9
10 / 40 / 20
Auto 34
D/F max
TCS 6

Your right about this car being on rails Luxy it's just sooo stable

 

[Kelly]

Only problem I have with this car is it blocks my view ! and I just can't race the same on inside view
Anyway had a few laps mess around with the wheel and managed some sectors of ...
21.8 / 48.3 / 1'11.4

I'll have a serious shot another time .

Least I'm not the only one and yes it's a huge ass!

 

[Luxy]

Here's another vote for car-with-the-fattest-ass.

I always end up in the grass on the right-hander after the hairpin. Just as you crest the hill, you can't see the edge of the track.

 

[pedrodaman]

I was holding back that wee secret until someone else admitted it first I think everyone else runs the dash view

Oh and i run AUTO too crap with manual

Oh allmost frogot why i came on done a few more laps got the car up to the BHP limit 812Bhp new best save has
T1 21.446 T2 47.564 T3 1'10.117

Been flirting with some 46's @ T2 and the 1'09's @ T3 i'll be back

Shhh don't tell anyone but Ron runs in outside view also

Cool nothing to be ashamed of then but i use AUTO Don't slag me now ..I know i could go faster if i use the manual tranny ..But i suck big time with it

 

[Kent]

shhhh! I use the behind the car view also...

As for times... before I say a thing about it... let me tell you.

I opened the first session at 2:30am last night and instantly did one lap and then said... 6 seconds are coming off this time.

By the end of the session, just over 3 came off.

I am confident that there is plenty more to come off.

for now the t times stand like this...

22.198
48.5
1.11.6

Those are for best lap saves...

my fastest t times on the random laps are lower than that. (but they are not clean savable laps.)

Back soon.

I knew it would'nt be long before someone got in with some 1'09's niclely done

Who's gonna give us some 1'08's ..Not me anyways

Man this car is sweet

 

[Kent]

Just wanted to give that "one session before work" update...

22.0
47.6

That in combination with the knowledge that I have already done a 21.6 makes for some low times that will come tomorrow.

Talk to you all when I get out of work.

btw, I use auto in rally, but manual on the tarmac.
