Finally had a couple hours to spend on this one this morning. A great combo once I got the understeer under control and stopped over driving the turns.

Really didn't know where to post this but since is sorta TT oriented I'll try here.

The Hour

While sitting on the throne I was thinking about racing...not an uncommon act....when I remembered a little known race event from the 70s. It was called THE HOUR. You drive the assigned car as PRESENTED for one hour. At the finish you are scored on

FASTEST LAP positive multiplier
SLOWEST LAP negative multiplier
AVERAGE SPEED positive multiplier
DISTANCE COVERED positive multiplier
FUEL ECONOMY positive multiplier.

It can be done like a TT where you submit your numbers backed up by a reviewable replay ( or in conjunction with an established TT or race event) or it can be done Head to head ( which I prefer because it removes it from the " laboratory" and puts it "on the track")

You do not know the points for each category for each race and obviously the fastest may not win so it really is self handicapping event.

Was an inexpensive hoot. I did mine on a Solo course in a Mall Parking lot in Ct....in a KGhia....came in third behind a 289 Cobra and a Baby Bimmer (2002). Obviously it must have been fun to remember after all these years. During the fuel crunch they stopped doing these and they were never sanctioned because they were not spectator friendly. They never ran them head to head on the same track but I did one that was in parallel side by side courses.

Seems to me that it might be adapted to Virtual Racing very easily. And the time could be changed but I prefer the hour because it really enters the realm of pacing as well as pure speed.

I'm going to run one for the Ferrari and see how "doable" it is. Of course the scoring system can be tweaked as desired .

make better time tomorrow

 

[GTP_Patrick1]

About a tenth slower thru T2, but gained just about a tenth at the line. I might be able to squeeze anther tenth or 2 out of this, if not, I hit my goal i set a few days ago and am happy with the lap time.

You know your age is out in the open now don't you? I popped quarters into that machine like a madman when I was a kid. Remember the blonde's hair swinging in the wind? One crash and you were done...

I played the PS2 version, Coast 2 Coast, and I know a bit of the original. Is it that surprising that a 26 year old knows about Outrun?

 

[Ayhancan1998]

after with more 25 km.

More 30km. Make superlap. Just lose 0.300-0.400 at last sector. If ı not lose this time think i do the best one.

Hi all !

I've just finished my new wheel for my rig last week (the same as Alpine A110 and Ferrari Dyno). I began this TT today and I discovered that it was the same wheel in the 365 GTB4. Just wanted to share it with you guys

Alpine A110

Dyno 246 GT

365 GTB4

And the one on my rig.

Didn't know there was a PS2 version. The arcade machine was popular during the late 80's early 90's where I live. So yeah, you were like 2 years old when I used to play the game and it would be surprising for me if you knew anything about it. Next thing you are gonna tell me you enjoyed "1942" too
Completely forgot about the Dreamcast-Ps2 friendly games 👍

Can't get a grip on the line and handling this week. I think I may still knock another tenth or two off but this one has me a bit vexed.

 

[Thematic]

After 343 km got an okay improvement but not before doing a dirty lap. I clearly hit the rail on the right when approaching the hairpin. So I did another lap with the exact same time. I thought, no way I'm that close to the limit. Also, I was not sure which lap the game would save. Saved both the full replay and best lap, and pressed on.

Improved once more afterwards:

35.767
62.667

Turned out the valid twin was saved.

746 km on this one.

 

[GTP_Patrick1]

Almost a tenth at the line.

3 tenths at the line. I think my biggest problem with this one is I don't have enough miles on the odometer.

 

[Iceman220]

nvm

 

[Allibubba99]

Well this final session was 700KM's!!!! Found 4 10ths!!!!!
