Division 2 Track 2

 

[-Fred-]

I went full reta...leaderboard and shaved off 6 tenths with the non-ACR Viper, down to a 2:06.3. There's a 2:05 in there if I add up all my best sectors but I can't get them in the same lap.

Gave both the new Velosters a try yesterday, one FWD and one RWD. The FWD felt a bit slow but drove good, and on the other hand the RWD had a great feel to the handling, felt fast, but was slower . Wont be back until Monday so just wanted to give it a quick go.

Thanks mate.

My highest finish is 8th
That was at Le Mans in cars I had obsessed with on that very track, and had at one point been the #1 hardcore time - I tried to be sneaky
Alas... you guys are quite a bit better than me. But I love the competition, and pushing myself.

Okay, so it turns out I'm not a huge fan of the West layout at VIR. From the start all the way to the Oak Tree corner I'm fine and probably as fast as everyone, but it's that "infield" section that cuts the long straight in half, with all these weird off-camber corners and the odd decreasing radius hairpin that starts, that I can't seem to get right no matter what I do. It's going to be a long week.

 

[zaxs]

Looks like I'm skipping this week...

Version with long straight is even ok, but this one, no thanks.

On other hand, maybe it is now opportunity to learn the track, at least, in it's full width

I echo these sentiments. I can't stand it but I'm getting stuck in anyway

 

[RikkiGT-R]

Not very popular this week

I think I'm gonna end this one on Wednesday and revert back to how it was in the beginning. I'm off every Wednesday so it's a LOT easier to keep on track with it that way. I also don't think many people will complain if VIR can be quickly shelved

So 2 more days peeps, if you can be bothered...

 

[RPM Bibblefish]

I actually quite like this track, took a bit of getting used to but it's ok. There's so much time to be gained/lost on the infield section, get that bit right and you've got a decent time

My only gripe with it is the lack of competative cars, but that's hardly the tracks fault.

Yer agreed I like the track, Great time btw

 

[RikkiGT-R]

Managed a 3:06.221 in one of the Golfs, although had to turn on the braking line just to get a clean lap (keep getting caught out) and so lost my hardcore status for this track but I don't care

Still a mile away from you guys but I've really struggled with VIR since I first tried it. Will improve on that time though...

It's ok, don't be sad, I use braking line 100% of the time

Yeah! I also wondered why there is next to no traffic in here. I keep getting more used to the track, but its just not as much fun...

 

[BoneSawTX]

I gave it 6 laps, it was bad lol. Gonna give it a go again probably tomorrow night.

 

[-Fred-]

I think I would have had more fun with the regular layout, but I'm slowly getting a handle on that inside section. I've improved my time a lot, and with a bit more practice I can probably shave more time off.

 

[nExx]

Good thing it also gives you quite a lot of money with the right mods. The Huayra drove me into bankruptcy...

 

[RikkiGT-R]

OK, as I mentioned before I'm gonna reset back to a Wednesday since that's the day I'm off completely and can do this easily.

So this week's choices are:

Division

1. Early Sport Luxury
2. Exotic GT
3. Supercar Renaissance

Track

1. Bathurst
2. Spa-Francorchamps
3. Yas Marina Full

 

[nExx]

A division with the legend 850CSi? YESSSS

Div 1 Track 2

At ease, soldier. We do what we can

 

[ImaRobot]

Put me down for 1-2

 

[RikkiGT-R]

Well a few votes and we at least have a winner, and I'm sure nobody will complain:

Week 9

DIVISION: Early Sport Luxury

TRACK: Spa-Francorchamps

Leaderboards will be compiled tonight once I get the opportunity.

 

[nExx]

GUYS! This will be a good one for us, because there is no clear leaderboard car (as of now) and the times on the leaderboards are relatively slow. Next Wednesday, we will be all over the Leaderboard
