hey ron, you have yet to grace me with an appearance on MSN. and i'm no better than anybody else neither. see, that was crappy grammar right there :lol:
 
I think that it is very important that we check our posts in these threads before we post 'em.
There is a saying in engineering: 'Measure twice, cut once' In this case it should be 'Read twice post (<~I just made a typo right there, I would've made a complete dick of myself if I hadn't corrected it - See?!)once'
Just so that we don't get confusion and fights started over typos.
 
damn, i had a 45.480 but lost it by the skin o' my ass on the very last turn. would have been special. i'll hit my mark if it kills me this week. now i'm over 200 miles and will probably do another 300. that's how i get my times by the way (for those who might be wondering)
 
APOLOGIES TO EVERYONE!

For those of you who saw my times and thought, "this guy's pretty fast with his mouth", you'd probably be right. It was stated on page four of this same thread that i reached a 35.9 T2 on the Rome circuit, when in fact I only reached 45.9.

I apologise if I have confused anyone with all this, feel free to "cyber hit" me if you want. :D

BTW to Lotus350: Sorry. *hangs head*
 
And, on that note, I reached a 45.519 T2 last night (no touchie wallsies, Rob!). All is going well. Just a few minor tweaks and I might get to be in front on Max.E!! :eek:
 
geez im real slow.........my best T2 is 50.5......must be doin something wrong

Ive only dun 8 laps and im goin to change the settings now
 
Since very few people have posted settings, I can only say this...

I used the settings provided by red eyed racer (thanks again bro) and on my first, very first, lap, I took over 1.8 seconds off.

You need to use these settings and see what you can do with them.
 
This car is PURTY

TOOK 2 SECONDS off T2

and 3 seconds off Final

Now standing at 48.173 .....could go way faster

Watch out here I come!!!

I used Red Eye Racers settings

Springs 7/14------
Ride height 58/60
Bound 10/10------
Rebound 10/10-------
Camber 2.0 / .7
Toe -2/-2-------
Stabilisers 5/6
Brakes 15/21
LSD's 5/5/5-------
Tranny auto 33
Downforce maximum
TCS level 3-----

Im just getting too much drift on the last corner and braking too hard on the first sharp corner......
If I rectify that I believe I could take another sec. off....maybe
 
I have noticed in the last corner that you can hit it hard on the inside with 3/4 to full acceleration, depending on how much you slow down with no drift too a slight drift. You gotta line the car up perfectly with the sidewalk though which can get very hairy especially after running a good run.
 
I'll try to get some settings up as soon as I find some that work for me. Right now I'm struggling a bit with this car. Plus I'm in the middle of a 14 day work streach so track time hasn't been there for me. Unfortunately, Monday might be my only chance to get some good quality race time in. But as always, I shall try my best and I will post up some settings as well. Currently my T2 times are in the 47 and high 46 range. I just need a set up for this beast.

Well Max, let's have it! ;) You to Ron, cough em up, I know your not as slow in this car as your leading us to beleive. ;)

@ SandStorm. Thanks for clearing everything up mate. ;)

@Matt. I wasn't even mildly amused.
 
I had my first go on it just now. Using someones setting that was mentioned earlier in the tread (thanks RER). Im running in the high 46 zone but i should be able to improve over the next few days. After the 6th lap, I was already swearing at the game. Running over the last 2 curbs and loosing it while in front of the ghost is frustrating.
 
and so it comes off

over a second off both my time

That puts me at 47.1

I know most of you are still wasting me......but

I shall still be improving

Boombexus keep trying ive been asking Max from the start......
 
How much power does everyones Vertigo have?
Since my one has done just under 1000km, its around 740-745 hp.
 
har har har

Yes John you are beating me like Australia beat England
But youll need to think back to the ashes on this one

Oh so close for england in the worlds

Opps im spamming again......
 
well, a 47.012 is my fastest T2. This car is becoming more and more of a cream dream. I still have a ton of space I think I can make up too. mid 46s is my target now. I think a clean run like that and I'll be golden.

Hey Maloo!

Looks like it's time for you to get a new Vertigo. With high milage comes loss of power. You should have 760 HP in a fresh Vertigo.

You can either buy one for a cool 1.2 million or you can win one. The race that you could win one in is mentioned in the first post.

Trust me I had enough frustration on last weeks race with crappy laps. I feel your pain. BTW where is that Frustrated Palm, I just called for him again?!?!? 707

I still don't see how I am going to keep up with that Denso Sard Supra though. It is tough to break 1'08 on this track - The frustration. There it is again. d'oh, sorry Frustrated, I keep using your name. D'oh :)
