Fuji F GTLM (N3) xx:15

[Piket]

At last a race that requires big cohones!

It's 20 laps with 1:50 per lap so it's about 40 minutes total. One race per hour.

See you on the track!

Who cares? Every man can decide for himself what he likes more and suits him best.

Yeah of course Thats not my point, its just first time I have seen 1.place in a TT use TC. Its useally not fastest.. But since this car its a beast it might be faster with TC ....?


EDIT; I just checked rankings again and its just piket ant 2 other guys who use no TC in top 10! I wonder if its going to stay that way...

I was struggling after 15 odd laps in the TT without TC. I knocked off about .5 of a second with traction control after just two laps, and could probably go further. I don't usually like to use it, but it did make a big difference, even on '1'. You sweat less at least !!
A 40 minute race? i will have to test myself with this one !

It's still early for the TT..i reckon that a week from now, if the big boys show up ,it will be no TC at the first places.. I ,for one, have at least a good second to knock off my lap but you must be really patient to achieve a good time and also be lucky on the brakes...My best lap came on lap three and after i did about 20 bad laps overdriving.. It's frustrating but also very rewarding if you manage to nail a good one.

Not sure how good of a race this will be... I mean you cant be aggresive AT ALL in the corners. Overtakes will be slipstream only, and possible late braking

I'm at 30th in the TT at the moment. Congrats on your No.4 Piket. 👍 And No.6 for Ripping. Awesome driving! Mine was set using all aids off and i loved it. Really challenging!

You guys are far more talented than I am though, I think a lot of people would struggle to keep up with you in the races. Have you thought about maybe having a handicap in the racing. For example, best hot lap below 1'50= No TC. 1'51-1'52= 1 TC. 1'53-1'54= 2 TC.... and so on. Just to keep it a little more competetive out there?

Let us know how the races go anyway. I'll be tempted to get some track time in this event

 

[Piket]

I see it as an Endurance race. Consistency comes first,then speed and overtakes.

As for the TC ,as i said on my earlier post, i think is up to each driver..
After all most of us use ABS, it's the same thing.

I will have my first race in about an hour. Hope to see a nice grid.

EDIT: No racers here at the moment. I'll just stick to TT,seems like a fast guy from here turned up..

Somebody help me out with a small info here please:

I can't update tonight due to capped internet so I'd like to TT the GTLM on N3s a bit to get fit for the 20 lapper...

What laptimes are possible on N3s? (maybe give me some top times as reference and then one that a human can do )

Cheers guys!

GTP_eclipsi is 1st now with 1m47.909!!

My best after 1 reasonable session is 1m51.8, TC=5 using Sixaxis.

Hope this helps.

Eclipsi is 1st with 47.9 but second is about three tenths slower...Tenth has 48.7..

Nice to see some interest. I'm racing with decho and a group of 4-5 guys at 15. Anybody wants to join?

Thanks guys! Coming a bit delayed but but internet went totally flat yesterday...

And yeah, info is helpful (and depressing ). Had a blast trying to master this beast, I just wonder if a grid actually stays together as someone already questioned. For my part I struggle to put in 2 laps without severe fly-offs, maybe that'll come with practice

Downloading the update now, will be in later! Hope to seeya 👍
