Weekly Race Series, Week 45

[boombexus]

Haha!

I was right about the EJ-25 wasn't I?
boomsuxus would be a cool name. Go with that. 👍

 

[VG30DETT]

Yes... Damnit.

I was thinking GoombaEJ25. Or GoombaGC8 (chassis code for my generation). The think I don't like about this name is theres really no nickname to it.

Any name with boom in it is.... uh.... ummm... something derogetory.

 

[boombexus]

How about - "Mike" cus we already know that you're a goomba.

Or, "boomMIKEboomEJ25GC81337h4x0rboom?." I mean everyone loves usernames that are full of numbers and stupid crap that makes no sense that you can never remember.

 

[VG30DETT]

There already is a Mike.... Ugh. Oh well, something to think about.

Or "Mike > Rob".

 

[NielsG]

Best clean lap:
24.278
53.577
1'18.118

I don't think I'll find more time to race this week.

So is the 1'16.199 up for grabs? I'll use that as mine.

 

[Oliver DePlace]

I gotta go to L.A. on Monday and won't be back until Wednesday.
Can I email my replay to you (boom), or just not sweat it?

BTW, short-shift the Viper.

Dam, nice T's ODP. 👍

 

[VG30DETT]

I got a lap that cut almost another couple tenths off. Still not exactly where I want to be for the week. More times to come.

Indeed, nice times odp.

The boss is back

Nice to see you around Ron

 

[Mr P]

I'm doing good mate thanks 👍.... hows yourself ?

"The Boss" ..... I fancy that for a new username ojk

Inbetween NFS underground I manage to find a few laps on GT3 and this combo is sweet .... I couldn't resist

laters 👍

 

[Talentless]

Holy! You know, when you are old, I'm betting on you in the walker races at the retirement home.

 

[Kent]

Are you submitting?

It would be cool to see "mr.p" on the results board. I don't think I've seen that too often lately... Last time I raced with you was atleast 4 weeks ago, and before that it was an even longer stretch.

Glad to see ya around.

 

[Talentless]

I've not been able to play enough to find much to complain about. Still testing. Hard when you have to share a tv and have health problems. Well, I saved my last mentioned time, I think, so I might send that in. Whatever.

 

[Talentless]

I didn't even realize what I said. Ha. Nice car and course. Oliver, short shift in corners or at a certain rpm?

 

[Kent]

I've been running to just before redline every place except turns where a shift is un-needed.

And incase I didn't mention it like all the others here... indeed, nice track/car pick boom.

 

[VG30DETT]

Well, I've put in a lot of runs. One reaching my goal, alas one too many tires came off the road. Plus, I've had to run to the bathroom every fifteen minutes. Really

I've looked over a lot of racing books and GT3 manual, and saw a lot of things that I can work on. Hard to say how long it'll be till I can get them down, but I know where I should improve.

Not so much short shift for me, but at a certain RPM, around the 6,000-6,500RPM 👍 but each to his own

Ran a new fastest time for myself, 1:16.337@T3 then went on to completely bollocks up the last corner

Oh yeah, good to see the Man, Mr.P, back and in fine form also I see

Cheers all


EDIT: Having looked at the time splits at T2 and T3, I can see this is where I'm losing the time, .2 down at T2 and at T3 it blows out to over a half second

 

[Talentless]

I shift at 6500.

 

[VG30DETT]

I'm shifting at 6500rpms as well.

Playing the instant race today, I realized something. I'm not sure if it's the time that these fast guys submit, or the fact that they say, "I managed to squeeze in a few laps."... I TAKE A GOOD FEW DAYS TO GET SOMETHING RESPECTABLE! I hate you all. *runs off cries*

 

[Tofu4G63]

didnt you just win the instant race part 2? shut up lol

 

[Mr P]

new time

22.7/ 51.2 / 1.15.7

.3 up at T2 to beat my ghost by 0.34

this cars a thumb killer

 

[Goomba]

Any hatred, love, gifts, STDs meant for VG30DETT, can now be sent to me.

 

[Mr P]

Ok time submitted here's my final sectors...

... 22.826 / 51.468 / 1.15.597


There's still a good .6- 1 sec left I think .... I cant get it .


Good luck and Laters

 

[Oliver DePlace]

I shift between 6500-6750, which is short of redline and way short of the limiter. The benefits show on the run-up to start.

Good to see Mr. P. 👍
Seeing how he's posted more than one set, I'm assuming he's in it for real (and not just rattling his sabre).
Oops, I see that they were submitted.
Your times look formidible there P, looks like I'll have to kick it up a notch.

I'm glad you've given me the boot to try again.

Back in a bit.

Okay, nothing to write home about, but I've improved.
.034@T3
Meager, but the last 4 sectors were good.

Well, they're starting the movie. So, I gotta go.

See you next year.
