....I knew it would be taken in the wrong context..

Read the post again, does it really sound like ive never done anything wrong?? Of course i have, the post simply states what is true, if you rear end someone your in the wrong, and you have to deal with it!

I'm just giving you a hard time Dave. I think everyone knows that it's their fault if they rear end another car, but you have to feel for them when it was caused by a stupid driver in front, not paying attention.

What's wrong with Cliffy?

*ahem*

*clears throat*

These are the facts of the matter
These are the names in the case
This the story, the passion
The time and the place
They're laid here before you
So judge if you can
The devil incarnate or
A misunderstood man
 
So Im missing out on top spot by just over a second. I've got to come back with a podium at least !!!

I'd like to thank certain GTP'ers for the warm welcome back to the WRS, its not like I was a die hard WRS'er before but I remember what it was like back in the Boom days and its good to be back.

Couple of questions,
I ran the Italian festival race this morning to get the car. When I load up arcade mode I dont get the option to load garages, does the car I have won simply appear underneath the emblem of the manufacturer I choose, so if I didnt have the car in my SIM garage it wouldn't be available to use?

Second is, what top speed setting are you guys/gals from Div 1, and top of Div 2 using ?
 
Dave_George
Im sorry for you mate....but....whatever the guy in fronts doing you should be covering your own ass, if you hit him your too close, simple as that im afraid.

should i go out right now, and try to claim some insurance

by slamming my brakes infront of people?~ lol rear ender is always wrong
 
This is exactly what some idiots do in my local area, they follow really close for ages, so you get annoyed, then they overtake you in a ridiculous place and slam the anchors on, a whiplash claim then makes them a few thousand pounds richer !!

This is starting to happen in the Uk too....


New T times from me,

24.084
49.964

That was good as it was my first clean lap without clipping a wall...how refreshing!

Can see some more points where i can gain but getting a full clean lap is a rare thing for me it seems, thats with 270 gearing by the way.

blooming nora veilsidebr!!!! when ever i come on and look at splits i feel ok. i'm usually round about the same time and feel able to compete. then i look at your splits and 🤬 :banghead: !!! your always at least two seconds faster. by the end of the week its usually more like 4!!

off topic, i went to a brazilian restuarant last night and had acai for dessert. what was it i was eating? just wondered cos it was the most gorgeous thing i've EVER tasted!! :drool:

its an energetic fruit, that many people take to get pumped up... gym freaks and stuff... here i think the juice is a bit more popular, you should try that...

strange, i didn´t like the taste really, but, i am not a organic guy really...

It automatically appears as available under the country > manufacturer (although you've probably figured this out by now).

Koly, you're doing an awesome job w/ the leaderboard. THANKS!!! Are you going to keep one for the American Series, too?
Click to expand...

Not a problem ... a thanks to Luxy for having faith in me and allowing me the opportunity to help out :)

As for the MAC ... yes, we'll be having a leaderboard of sorts. Hm ... maybe Luxy will even allow me to use his code/website ...
 
No clean laps so far, but ive only run for 15mins...i seem to be getting low 51's so far at T2, :) still cant get the braking for the hairpin in the middle sector correct :(. Yet again amazing splits by veilsidebr (always have to check th spelling of that, lol). Watch out Dave George, im chasin ya down!!

Açai you ate. hahaha ;)

Yeah many people like it but i hate it actually, its like a fruit, very eaten around here in brazil.
 
OMG...yesterday i punched my tv so many times. I tried for a 2 hour session, with plenty of 48.7´s and .6´s. Once or twice i had a 48.5, but lost it. And i also got to break my second barrier for some times, but no clean time!!!! GRRRRRR

Today i have to do it!!!
 
First run with this combo. I learned that I still hate the track (never liked it) and that I should stay away from the cerbs this week :p

Times so far
25.405
52.912
 
Ill get back onto this tomorrow. Im just finishing the final hour of my first ever SOLO 100% a-spec endurance race, the roadster 4 hour. I really enjoyed it but ill be happy to be leaving Tsukuba for a while.

Good luck everyone, see ya at the finish line

Yup, I can set one up ... just let me know the details :p
 
New splits:

24.288
50.630

There were tons of mistakes in that lap, so I'll hit it hard again tonight and see if I can't squeeze another second out of it.
 
10 mins before work, got new splits:

T1: 0'24.067
T2: 0'50.257

Later 👍
 
Well I thought there was another second out there for me, so I went and found half of it:

23.928
50.141

The next half-second will have to come tomorrow. I'm out for tonight.
 
I have been stuck around 23.8 tonight, and can't seem to find a groove. However, I did just have the best second and third sector yet. (actually it's probably the best second sector split out of anyone)

T1: 23.906
T2: 49.578

I have improved overall by almost .3, so I'm happy as of right now. I just know there's another .5 out there. And I have .7xx that I need to pick up to break the second barrier that is my ultimate goal.
 
.2 out there, but will be hard to obtain~

0'23.277
0'48.716

love the street circuits, im paul tracy :D
 
:) :grumpy: good start bad finish

t1 23.985
t2 50.724 :yuck: plus was a bit slow at the finish too

will try again this week end for some more time off :scared:

KOLY - you need to put a link to your leaderboard in your signature
 
You guys are killing me with those fantastic times. Gotta quit for tonight, must be groggy, my ghost keeps getting faster.
24.447
51.107
 
I had somewhat of an infuriating night and couldn't get many clean runs, but I did figure out some of my week corners and finally nailed something faster than last night:

T1: 24.272
T2: 50.662

I've been .2 faster at T1 and I really don't know how to hit the hairpin before T2, so once I can nail that, I'm pretty sure I can get a sub 50 seconds.

And then that only leaves the next 2 corners, which - for some reason - screw me up everytime. 🤬

Leaderboard Updated.

@Driven ... DONE!
 
New splits:

T1: 0'24.030
T2: 0'50.332

There seems to be a lot of time to be made up on the very first corner.

Gearing at 240. 👍
 
I love this car. Well, aside from the massive understeer if I mash the throttle, but I'm learning not to do that so much. That said, I HATE Hong Kong. This circuit and its curbing can suck my . . . anyway. Just put in my first session of the week and I'm happy I was just racing here in the F1 some days ago that it remained fresh in my head, otherwise I'd be in for a hell of a week.

T1: 23.7 (I'm braking way too much for the sweepers. Walls scare me.)
T2: 49.4 (Redeeming, I suppose..)

If I can shave .4 off that first sector (I've seen it, but only a few times) and carry it through, I'll be pretty satisfied. Gearing is at 280 for those curious.
 
jeez! dead bottom on luxy's board. I gotta wrte down the Ts fomr my fastest lap and sort it out. Oh, and btw luxy, thanks for adding the FFGP thing as my controller:D.
