Erm, that would be Cobraking. Maybe I should change my name.. Hmmm

Anywho, I have the $10M GTC prize to keep me sufficient, which, unforetunetly, you american folks don't get. .

Hey Oliver, I've always been a bit curious as to why you submit your times so early. You still have 3 more days. If you decide to give it another go, just shoot me another PM with an updated time. 👍

@ CobraKING Read post #89 it's intended for you and NOT CobraBOY.

So hard to keep track of you two. It's like having twins.

If you can read and understand the sentence perfectly, it is me, Cobraboy
If you stare at the screen saying "What the **** did he just type??" then it is Cobraking.

@boom:
My work week is Friday or Saturday through Tuesday or Wednesday and I, usually, go out of state. So, I typically have 2-3 days to pound out my lap, if I don't go "socializing".

Did I read that correctly? 1'03.401? that means I'm 8 seconds off the pace...Ouch.

Looks like I've got some work cut out for me this weekend...

Im sure thats a typo dude i think it's 1'09.401 still a damn fine sector im just waiting to see what Ron and the others come up with ..Prepare to be shocked :shivers:

Good luck with the race

@ pedrodaman :
Used your set-up from page one. Don't have any doubts about it working when you get a MOMO. This is by far the most comfortable I've been w/mine in the last 3 races. Your set-up yielded lap times equal to mine within 2 laps & beat mine within 5 laps.
Best so far after 10 laps w/more to come off (If my PS2 will quit "Pausing" in the middle of EVERY LAP!!!)

T1:.....21.586'
T2:.....47.741'
T3:..1'10.326

Will try some others' set-ups as time allows...UB57

Had a few laps with Booms set up ( slight adjustment made) and on the wheel , best so far ...
21.788/ 47.842 /1'10.682 I got a second at least to make on my total.
From what UB57 just said ...I think I might try Pedro's set up too.

And as for seeing what Ron is on ..... well he's not done one lap on this yet , been too busy rallying against Flinx and others leaving me less time for momo action Don't even know if he's gonna do it or not yet


EDIT: Oh yeah, forgot to mention I am doing this week in inside view!! yeah!

Nice sectors lotus keep it up

Cheers UB57 Im glad im of some use to someone i,ve not had a chance to get back in this falcon since Tuesday been too busy ..But i,m hoping i,ve got some spare time on sunday to try and beat my time..Maybe this is a sign im getting better pulling decient laps early on ..I used to get my best laps on the weekend but the last few i,ve got my submitted times on the tuesday or wednesday..

BTW Cheers for posting that link for that wheel looks nice i like the wee shifter on it too i will definatly have a look into that

Later

 

[BigJamesGTI]

I ran this last nite using the medium settings that GoK recommended - I dint bring me times to work DAMN
I was low 21 T1 47 T2 and 1.10 ish T3
So not that bad but I havent got the exact times with me and Im not at work on monday so cant post them - does ne1 have e-mail that I can send my times to ??
thanks

 

[boombexus]

Hey BigJames,

If you need to e-mail your time to me you can do so, I'm at boombexus@attbi.com

 

[Cobraboy]

How long did it take you guys to get to full power? I bought mine from the dealership, and after 100kms, its only risen 5hp to 755hp. .

Can we have the left side wheels on the rumble strips and the right hand wheels on the grass?

Wow I almost had the lap of my life...but it turned out to be only .017 faster overall (but still clean).

The first 2 splits were amazing...21.098 / 46.675
then by T3 I had already lost half a second by sliding a little and then missing the apex in the hairpin that I always seem to get right every OTHER run and ended up with a T3 of 1.09.509, with still is pretty good, but makes me mad that it could have been as low as 1:08.9XX if I would have really nailed it.

Well I've still got a couple days left to try and recreate the magic.

Don't you just hate it when that happens i,ve had a few laps as low as the 46,s and 1'08's but all dirty
I don't think im gonna have much time to run any laps today but im sure gonna give it one last try tommorow..

I think this is gonna be another 3 way scrap for the finnish with IDAFC21 ..now this is what i call racing maybe even more from the non posters

Good luck and may the best man take the flag

 

[BigJamesGTI]

Mine is first couple of turns - get it just right and cross from inside to outside - a proper speed corner. That gets me going for the rest of the lap if I get it just right
Its soo easy just to "tickle" the grass though so thats another lap in the bin !!!!!
Im enjoying this

If I run off in the grass on the first set of turns I just restart...I've had more than enough practice on the rest of the track!

Aye that first turn can be a nightmare at times ..I never seem to get it exactly the same each time i take it

But what normally works is to start turning in then dab the brakes just before you reach the apex then back on the gas all the way down to the schicane ..This schicane is a nightmare also ..

I think the best thing here is to barake early and try and avoid the car sliding on entry as the car will be facing the wrong way at the second apex ..This can cost you bags of time ..Try coasting in seems to work well for me

Good luck mate and welcome to the series

Yeah I have a felling this may be the closest race yet for the 3 of us. Someone may be mad when they lose by .001 seconds!Hopefully it's not me as usual! Good luck all.

 

[pedrodaman]

Na i won't be mad if i loose it's been a buzz ...But i honestly think that you might just nip this one unless i do something tommorow ..we'll just have to wait and see..

 

[CFM]

Well I have to work 12 hours shifts tonight and tommorrow, and I usually only play at work at an average of 6-9 hours a night. So, you could say I have a little free time to work on it.

Sometimes I really love my job

 

[pedrodaman]

You lucky git I wait till the G/F is no here or in bed then it's GT time ..hmmm maybe i will get her drunk tonight so she will pass out then i can get some racing in im bad


Anyways gave your settings a go the other day and i was almost matching my laps but did'nt beat my best ..

Maybe i will try a fusion of the two sets (worked in the past) for the final session ..My car is almost perfect just a few wee bits n bobs to sort ..

That just proves how bad I suck...I probably spend 5 hours to your 1 every week just to keep up

Alright! I finally get to use a custom avatar of my car. I feel so special now.

 

[pedrodaman]

On a good week i normally put in 3 sessions anywhere from 1 1/2 hours up to 3 hours ..The last two races i,ve put in a lot more just to prove a point to myself ..that im able to beat Go kents pitty it had to be on the week he got promoted ..

But i done it none the less

 

[BigJamesGTI]

I hope I do a little better in this one than I did in the qualifying race - I got lots of time to spend tonight and tomorrow to get the times down a little - Me worst section is the last one
But I always enjoy the first corner if I have to start again !!!!

Yep, the rumble strips are considered part of the track. So you should be in the clear.
