First WRS splits with manual transmission

30.664
29.262

PS. Shifting at 7k rpm is the correct way to go?

I'm downshifting in 3rd for turn 1, and I hate turn 2.....not obvious to me.
So a 29.9 is possibile with both gears. I'm not that tight in turn 1, just in normal line, not anticipating turn in, not delaying on throttle.

I'm shifting at 6700, but still have to make some tests.

the white evo corners better! :D

30.412
29.030

I made a video of the bug I mentioned in my last post.

Finding this quite tricky, i use the d-pad to steer but im not very good at controlling how the front end bites and then pushes out when getting the power down - might have to play around with the sensitivity.

T1 30.346
T2 28.438

The track has a nice flow in this direction, a very fun combo.

Cheers

Latest splits, some improvement.

Still trying to finish a clean lap after a couple sub 30s in T1.:banghead:

Really tough maddening combo, can't seem to walk away from it though.:crazy:

T1, 30.290
T2, 28.191

30.301
28.405

We're doing some background testing on it as we speak. More to come.

For now, make sure you select the correct tires at the time you select the car, before the track loads.

Odd. The track appears to be brighter in replay.

Just had a test of this myself. Viper is right about it swapping back to your original tyre choice when you view the replay in-event but when you change back to the correct tyres, you don't suddenly get more grip than you should with that tyre type. I certainly can't feel any difference anyway.

On turn 1:

I can't speak for Twissy, who is an alien anyway and can probably take turn 1 flat out in 5th (:p) but I am changing down to 4th as I start to turn in, then down to 3rd for the apex, using alot of trail braking and exiting full throttle in 3rd. Back up to 4th for the short straight then 3rd again for turn 2.

My best 1st sector taking it like that is 29.818 but I'm having trouble beating my last sector at the moment so my splits remain the same.

With the first sector, i tend to leave it in 4th, have experimented with 3rd but it tends to wash out for me when getting on the gas. Then into turn 2 its pretty much about luck, hitting the exact apex needed to get on the gas as soon a possible to straight line it out

Yay, some not bad laps :D

30.364
28.410

T1: 29.804
t2: 27.881

That first sector is really killing my time.

Managed a 30.0xx in T1 but then messed up, few laps later beat my overall by .6xx, with a slower T1. One day, I'll get that perfect lap :sly:

30.524
28.610

I don't know, but I'm shifting at that point.

30.003
28.147

Lots of close-ish calls in this lap, watched it back a few times and it looks fine to me though I hope I can beat this with something a little easier to verify! :scared:

BB 7/9 ABS 8

The smallest of lifts through that fast section in T3 enables so much more corner speed, this is very much an exercise in throttle control and minimising steering angle. Any running wide or tyre-boiling kills it within seconds. Increasing steering angle too much due to excess speed does the same, to a lesser degree.

I don't seem to have many issues with T1, but I haven't been quicker than 28.1 in T2 yet so I'm a bit vexed - I think it's the hairpin and lack of a fast exit for fear of bashing the wall on the outside.

First hour of exploring this track in reverse...
Default BB (5/5) and ABS (1)

28.535

Ah well first event i've gone for as a newbie and reading the above, much respect to you all, i have at least half a second to get on each sector. This is the first time i have REALLY had to push it on GT5.Feels REAL, Love it.

To all who give there time for it i thank you.

Slight improvement
