GTP_WRS Week 129 : Duct Tape Deathmatch

[RacingOtaku86]

You know I just can NOT put something down that I helped create. The car: Toyota. Splits:

15.582
34.999

I can't get the Honda (Spoon) to go faster, so the Toyota gets the nod.

Sent Fetchy these final splits from the Spoonda; before trying to figure out how to get faster in the shifter kart at Grand Valley. (does leaning in my seat irl help? cuz I can't stop doing it...)

15.516
34.950

Got the lap I was after! Took a little while to beat the benchmark I had in mind but then I remembered how to do the last corner

 

[monkeywall]

Submitted my current lap was goig to spend the day and try and improve but I've seen W130 I'm off to try it while I've the time. Good luck every one

My time is up, final splits submitted & accepted. For such a short track it sure was difficult to get all 3 sectors "right" on the same lap

15.426
34.726

Good luck to all 👍

Yeah, I think my very best splits were probably 0.1 better than what I submitted with. But every time I got splits that good, I completely screwed up the last corner. My submission still does not have my very best last sector, but it's pretty close. I would say if I dug through and found my best 3 sectors, I probably have another 0.150-0.200 in the lap. But I also was lapping fairly consistently within 2 tenths of my submitted lap. And have several saved laps within 1-2 tenths of my submission.

All to say the same thing - it was tough to squeeze every ounce out of this one. The tire stagger made it very difficult to brake on time, hit the apex, and power out without losing traction.

Dud you settle for the Honda or the toyota?

I settled on the Toyota pretty early on. Was just more fun for me to drive, and I was generally a bit faster in it. The power out part was different in the Spoon, just use Second gear and mash the throttle at Apex. But I think braking was about as difficult, for me at least.

The other thing about the Toyota that I'd not mentioned before - GT3 was the first Gran Turismo game I owned, and the first car I bought on the game was a Sprinter Trueno, like the one in the image below. I was looking for a cheap RWD car to start the game with, and this fit the bill.

Haha, I saw the Toyota online and realized, now I wanted to have one more go, I ran this with 207 horses.

 

[GTRacer22]

I figured I'd give this a go, since I'm all for anything Initial D!

Toyota:

15.412
34.829

Allways brake to late for the last corner

I did a Banzai run and had a lap with a 490 T2, but it was only 0.017 faster at the line. Turns out I was off track at the start of the lap from running wide the lap prior, so it was dirty anyhow. Sticking with what I've got.
