Weekly Race Series, Week 14 - EVO vs. WRX

[boombexus]

Ok, still have yet to put in a whole lot of time with these cars, but this is what I got so far.

WRX

T1: 20.6
T2: 38.6
T3: 58.2

EVO

T1: 20.9
T2: 39.1
T3: 58.7

Seems like I'm running just a tad slower in the EVO, but I like the way it handles compared to the Subaru.

I'm still working out the kinks though. We'll see what happens.

Not that I know of, but it is still handy. I mean you can save hundreds of replays with no problem on the PC. And with the MK garage editor program you can rearrange, mod, exchange cars and other stuff to your garage with ease. I alphabatized my garage so it's easy to find cars in arcade mode. There is also a replay manager program around here that is useful as well.

Thanks to GTJugend for the settings.👍

Never got that one satisfying lap.

My Subaru won't show a chase view in replay.

Have a Happy Memorial Day.

Arwin wrote such a program. There's a link to it in this thread.

How's it goin? Your welcome Oliver! Carbonfiber, I'll mabye buy one..

Are you guys using ASM? Until today I had it turned off but tried it at 2-3 and I noticed that the car became more reliable in turns 3, 4, 5, and especially turn 9.. it did't bounce off the kerbs as much as before and I could improve the cornering speed with a few kph.

Another thing I've noticed is the importance of having the 2:nd gear set properly so you can use it to power around the first 2 corners and the last corner. Making that change shaved surely 0.2 secs of the lap if I got the turns right.

www.play.com - here you can get it for about 25$, I think they have free delivery even in Sweden.

lol, I was going to ask you what you're setup was I've been getting frustrated with that damn suby.

 

[Jugend]

Thank you Arwin, I'll probably buy it there in a few weeks:tup:

Just one thought - In the technicals for the V2 it is said to work only on UK pal. Is this just bull? ´fcourse there are different types of pal over europe, but does it really matter if it's pal-x or pal-y?

[Jugend]

Submitting my time today, to help me keep my mind on school..

I've tweaked the evo down to T3 57.5, haven't really bothered to test the wrx but from what I've read it could go quicker..

One thing that really disturbed me was before I learned to ignore the split-time difference, as soon as I saw the blue numbers I couldn't keep my eyes on the road. I just had to read them, lost some concentration and if I was well under the previous time my heart started pounding and often I made some really crappy turns after that..

But with practice the "blue-numbers syndrome" got better..

[Nelsy]

can you guys help me out??
i've seen you splits and there like over a second faster than mine, can you give me some tips?

For a new guy you are very fast mate i'm pushing some to match you! .... very nice work 👍

 

[Jugend]

Thank you, P! I'm only new to OLR and fine-tuning, been playing GT for 5 years or so and that's where it comes from..

WRX I'm assuming there T?

EDIT: I see your edit now.

Good to see ya, how ya been?

 

[Talentless]

Fair. Might test other settings later. I'd not planned to race, but I like the match up, and I guess this may have been inspired by Car and Driver and Road & Track.

Don't know if I will go for a better time. I would have preferred to have been faster earlier. I ay try one of those 57.5 T3 settings later.

If my Luxy (sorry if I am getting the name wrong) based settings are any good, someone please tell me.

I probably will not bother, but some one may benefit from trying a lower level flywheel because of the uphil speed los that is supposedly in the game, at least it was mentioned in one or both of the previous games. The oe set up felt odd in the first lap I tried with it, and my speed did not appear to improve uphill. I do not know if I could have noticed much as far as improved or degraded acceleration.

T5 is the turn after the T1 time marker, right? Frankly, being 80-82 mph through it does not hurt as much as one might assume. You can be smooth at 87, but if you have some traction loss or turning difficulty you may lose some of the advantage of being 5-7 mph faster.

 

[Talentless]

Do you mean WRX?

 

[noojra]

I almost got a good lap

T1 20.6
T2 38.9

Then I screwed up the corkscrew and got beat by the ghost so I couldn't save the best lap

T3 59.9

I just realized that i was taking the first turn wrong (so I'm welcome to any suggestions )

 

[Kent]

Well, forget work and school... nothing is taking away from my gt time like a new game... mobile suit gundam: federation vs zeon.

Yea, its taken my game time and its taken my love of the playstation as well.

Basically I havent done a single lap in a long couple days, and will probably only put down a lap come monday.

Talk to you guys when ever I get to the game for some new times, or in a little while when I have more to say...

Talent, I think it's the turn before T2

Well, just spent some quality time with the EVO. I'm starting to like this car as I've gotten a better set up for her than I had before.

T2: 38.774

I opted to go with the LSD instead of the AYC. As soon as I changed this, my times started to drop. I even ran without having either of them installed, but the LSD has proven the better choice for me.

Time to see if the WRX can catch up.

 

[Cobraboy]

Ack, I've neglected this race as well.

I'll give this a bash as well.

 

[Pippen]

I got my T3 to 59,1 up untill now doing 151k,
last turn is still a problem,

Think i´ll be toying with tho toes a bit to see i´f i can run a bit faster. anyways gotta go.
