Weekly Race Series, Week 3 - Vertigoooo

[daan]

We can arrange something whenever your times are queried, or if you wanna prove your time is valid.

We could meet somewhere in Glasgow that's got a PS2 and use it to transfer your replays onto my memory card.

 

[pedrodaman]

I live near the city center not far from partick ( A quaint wee fishin village by the clyde)sorry couldnae resist that
I will run the next few races to see how things go then if the time calls for it we can sort that out
Maybe get a few jars afterwards

Thanks again as Mr P put it you truly are a gent

 

[Old Geezer]

To pedrodaman
Good decision!!! We'd have missed your insightfull input...UB57

@ pedrodaman, please understand, we don't go picking at everybody who makes a time claim. but when somebody is just blantantly lying like sandstorm and is'nt experienced enough to realize that his fake time is completely unreasonable, he's an easy target. just be honest. it is what is best for YOU as an individual. not because of me or any body else. what gratification does one get from advancing himself with lies?? if anything it just hurts you inside. we won't just cry foul at anything but i KNOW when my leg is being pulled.

 

[Max E.]

by popular demand (and the fact that half the competitors are using it anyway) here is my setup:

5.8/6.8
75/75
10/10
10/10
1.0/1.0
0.0/-2.0
7/7

14/14 brakes

5/5/5 LSD
auto 31 tranny

1.00/1.13 d.f

tcs 3

i figured now that mr p, made in holland, miata 13b, and anybody who loaded miata's replay have it, might as well let everybody see it as well. you're most welcome don't beat me too badly now.

 

[Talentless]

i don't know if you guys have heard this, but interact is bankrupt and unless the compatible downloadable version of the xport has a ps2 cd offered eventually, if you don't have a sharkport disc now, you may not be able to load saves.

 

[Talentless]

doesn't -2 cause understeer?

I can understand where you guys are comming from really i do
When i said i was not going to race was'nt a direct attack at you guys picking on people it was nothing like that
I know given time me and other racers are going to get better with time .If their putting the time in like you guys do and i know it's a lot

But sooner or later i will improve my times and hopefully be competitive with you guys (nothings impossibile)
When that time arrives i know you and some others would want to see evidence of my times when i started to produce competitive times
Which is totaly reasonable
I too given if i was as good as you guys i would be doing the same..
I also know that the word of people is sometimes never enough you need to gain respect by doin well & backing up your claims.
My saying i was going to quit was not some type of propaganda if you will to gain support or to say anything bad about you guys
I was just trying to show people that im a genuine racer who wants to improve and be competitive and most of all to have fun while doing it .But at the end of the day all you had is my word.

And all thanks to Daan he has offered to help me out if the time comes when im "called out" as he lives not too far from me
His offer to help me has encouraged me to keep racing in the series

well back to the racing who knows maybe sometime soon you will see me in your rearview mirror getting closer

 

[pedrodaman]

BTW Muchos Gracias for your settings Max E
I will definatly give em a go just as soon as i run my new vertigo in

 

[Cobraking]

yah, its saturday... lol i really wanna race the 350z concept for the next race wanna of my favourite cars...

 

[pedrodaman]

oooops edit

@ talentless - see for yourself

@ pedrodaman - i have said this before and i'll say it again. i have no god-given talent i've just driven so many miles that i eventually got good. if you race and race and race (100 mile or more sessions almost daily) the times WILL come. you already run good times so practice will get you where you want to go. you just have to have the desire.

also pedro, why are you breaking in a dealer-bought vetigo?? they are so easy to win an amateur european championship. just win the first 4 races (about 20 minutes) save the game then just pass up the last race and go to the car awarding. if you don';t get the vertigo reload the game and it will go back to the end of the 4th and you pass up race 5 to the car awarding again. do this till you get the vertigo. it sure kicks the ass out of running 190 miles. also, when you do get the vertigo, save your game again so that after you run the new vertigo ragged, you can reload again to your fresh max hp vertigo with 0 miles.

I do i like a challenge
I,m a bit like how you used to be ( i just bring alone my lunchbox and do my best ) i think it was somewhere alone those lines

I will get there eventually

New Vertigo
I just thought it would be quicker buying a new one and running rome to break it in and at the same time get more testing done while doing it
Well thats my logic
I honestly never thought of trying it the way you suggested

This time im gonna keep an eye on the milage and not bugger up my car

 

[Talentless]

again my sp ps2 disc will not work

official notice, if you want me in a challenge the answer is no if you want an sp file. flat out no.

 

[Talentless]

it also makes watching replays damn near impossible. there is daan, but some of his videos have mild jerkiness and i prefer the in car view. well, it just loaded, it won't last. well, if there are no time constraints i might use the sp. why my family always gets the rotten copies i may never know. nice set up max.

 

[Talentless]

crap, i wanted to view the replay. oh well. i just waisted ten minutes.

 

[boombexus]

Good show pedro! Glad to see your staying around.

 

[stevo357]

would be cool to have a race where we have a choice of car under a certain hp. maybe a ff or a fr challenge. anyhow i must go race a little have fun.

 

[supra229]

I only had time for 4 laps but my best T2 time was 50.74.

 

[Max E.]

nah, that does'nt really work. there's always one car that is the clear dominator and the rest must fall in behind unfortunately (unless of course you are having choice of skylin. supra, or NSX LM where the difference is negligable).

 

[Kent]

Ok, Its final.

I have reached my best possible.

It was the same lap I mentioned in an earlier post.

T2 of 46.578.

I also just happend to have put in over 800 miles on my vertigo which started this race series with 0 miles.

The hp on my has now been permenantly damaged and that is with my constant changing of oil through out the racing.

Im sending my time into boom now.

I also just wanted to put up my final settings based on RER's settings, but slightly different.

springs-7.0/9.0
hieght-70/70
bound/ rebound- all at 10 front and rear
camber-2.0/1.0
toe- (-2.0)/0.0
stabilizers-5/6
brake contr.- 15/21
lsd-5/5/5
tranny- 31
down force- max
asm- 0
tcs- 3

I hope one of you guys turning in times above 48 tries these out because they really will put you down in the 47 range.

Like I said, before using these settings, while the car was still using the stock suspension settings, my best was a 49.9 or so.

Now with these I pulled dozens of 46's.

I still never got below the 46.5 mark, but I can live with what I got.

Hope you guys like those settings.

Thanks again red eye.

 

[Max E.]

👍 good job man. with an attitude like that, you'll get where you want to go. and i don't just mean this game, i mean in life too 👍

see you next round.
