Should go up to 735 when everything is said and done. Don't forget to do all your other mods like weight reduction, brakes blah blah blah. Welcome to the series.:)

Hi All,
This week starts off like last week-not too good.T1=15.9,T2=51.3,
Tuning for a 4wd is something I havent done much of,and it shows.I have never driven the ZZII,it is easy to forget it's a 4wd.I need lots of practice for this week,the first chicane is my undoing right now,I either drive right through,of drive right into it.

Later,

well, I've been at the cape the whole 1st half of the week, and I couldn't plug my PS2 into the TV at the Hotel *cries*. I'm not sure how quick I can pull a lap in this car on this track, although it should be a great ride...
 
well i dont have a new clean save yet but i have been able to get 15.8xx and some high 50.xxx's, ill give it another try tonight and let you guys know how im doing tomorrow
 
I'm really liking boom's settings, with a pretty good run under the belt they're going to be what I stick with. Now all I have to do is fix my driving technique...
EDIT: here's my best T's with his settings:
T1: 0'16.138 / T2: 0'51.785
 
I just tried boom's settings out aswell, very nice settings boom :cool:

Didn't get any new clean laps but i did see a T2 of 49.1** and my lap time in total increase about .500

Should probably be able to get a 48 by end of the week with a clean lap.
 
Of all the Dumb Things I'v done on GT3 this is the worst.

The best Times I had so far is T1 18.xxx and T2 1.00.xxx. Thats because i'v been using the ZZs instead of the ZZII. with only 263HP :mad:

After 2 Weeks of Hibernating from GT3 I should expect that :D

I think I better get started on this race ;)

This course is doing my head right in :irked:
That first bend is awful must have smashed
the front of my car about 50 times:mad:
Trying boom's settings and a lot better for me
I have a clean lap so i think i will call it a day:D

Great T2, I thought your thumbs would be all rusty by now but I guess not.:P
 
I sent in my registration time to boom and hope to get into the competition for this round.

I'm wondering what kind of tires everyone is using... Also, any other general info like that.

Thanks and good luck all. Although from the times posted compared to mine, I'm the one that needs luck!!!
 
generally, if he says "your choice of Tires", I go with Super-Softs, (aka T8's). sometimes I will give T7's to the front and T8's to the back to improve traction and make the car more stable. Look at the first post of the thread for how tuned the car should be (if you scroll through, you will find several different settings for the car that give it different feels for different styles of driving). Welcome aboard, and start racing asap (only a few days left to compete and get settings worked out...)
 
Right on. I have printed out a couple of the sets of settings (CFM and boom) and bought some Super Softs. Dropped my times some already. I'm still not close to 15's for T1!

cool, we have another IRC addict.
/me welcomes you...
I'm just curious, which controller are you using? it is my experience that if you have a wheel you can pull out better times than if you didn't...

EDIT: just got a new time:
T1: 0'15.371
T2: 0'50.775
 
Just ran a alright t2 but with a perfect last sector. My T2 was a 49.6 though.. so still alot to come off.

Can any of you 48.* guys tell me how you are taking the turn before and after the rail road tracks.
 
one turn, steering all the way to the left, feathering the throttle through a deceleration until just before the apex at the end of the turn after the tracks then flooring it through until the hairpin at the hilltop...

I am using the standard controller. I feel comfortable with it, but... I'm getting mid 16's for T1 :irked: I like boom's settings for my style and will tweak those further... Any suggestions for controllers??
 
Looks to be arround 88-94 :boggled: You do mean the first chicane right? I just don't see a second comming off.. MUST PRACTICE MORE!

I'm very glad there is such a high standard here. I thought I was a good driver, smoked anyone I've played in person split screen. I really need to step up before GT4 Comes out!!!

You are a good driver. You just decided to move up from your friends and race against the planet. Just keep practicing.
 
I posted a reply must off got lost :)

Well heres what i said:

You are probably losing upto a seocnd on the first turn if you are going that slow, you should take it a bit faster at 120 miles at the minimum. Take the next left hander at 60miles or just a bit under. Then full speed through the next left right hander upto T1. Then ill leave the rest upto you :)


What gear is everyone taking over the train tracks? I tried gear 3 and it seems alot more stable and controlable and doesn't really lose you time on the acceleration out. I'm running different gear settings though so it could be different form you all
:embarrassed: :embarrassed:

Best save:

T1 15.6
T2 49.2

but i had a save only .010 slower at the finsih but with a T2 of 49.6. So alot of tiem left here. Ill probably try and take of another .700 of my total lap before end of the week.
