Besides. There's a terrifyingly fast clean line thru there if ya got the cajones......and a lot of luck. :lol:


:lol: :lol: @ Nat. The lap's legal only if you can post a readable replay. :crazy:

Im flat out on the rumble strips everytime, little bit of tail out on exit.

@Simracedriver, i look forward to battling with you this week:D Should be great! May the best man succeed in beating the other!
 
Hey Nat, can ya teach me how to do that? And which of your 6 laps was the best?
 
Kolyana
Personally I'm using the walls to slingshot around the final hairpin at a breakneck 2,000 mph, at which point I disappear in a pinpoint of finality up my own backside, transmute around the track at an ever compounding speed, before I blink into existence 5 nano-seconds before the starting line, at which point I've completed 6 cleans laps before the timer has actually started.

I hope that's legal.

Only if Stephen Hawking can verify it with a light-cone diagram & string theory, and write a paper on it!

Yup, that's the one i'm using.

works 3/5 without excessive drifting, and still hit the line at 138ish mph!

When running the quantum singularity technique, each successive lap is infinitively faster than the previous, but at the point when my head disappears up my own backside it also means that each successive lap fails to exist.

I'll be the first WRS entrant to hand in a negative final time.

Im courios Kolyana.

Where did you get the GT4: Star Trek Special edition?

I heard that it has all versions of the Enterprise,Voyager,and The Klingon Bird Of Prey! :dopey: :dopey: :dopey: :dopey: :dopey:

And also I hear that whenever you go to Warp with USS Enterprise-D(or it was E),you hear Captain Picard say "N-GAGE!" :dopey:

(hmmm...shoudn'be kidding.....but since Kolyana does,I'll too lol)

Q'apla! :dopey:
 
ok, so my first decent set of splits...
could be better....
t-1 16.751
t-2 36.884
t-3 1:04.851
great fun this is!! :)
 
This is a lovely tribute Cyril, thank you.

My best clean lap so far:

T1: 0'16.567
T2: 0'36.211
T3: 1'03.476

As others have said, there is a clean line through the final chicane without lifting or losing too much speed. I don't really see the need to cut the chicane at all before a lap.

And Koly: thank you for introducing theoretical physics to the WRS :p
 
I don't know if a scuby is supposed to look like this.......

or this......


But mine does, and it goes like this..

T1 16.361
T2 36.468
T3 1'04.411

WITHOUT cutting!

ps
sorry about the size of the pics!
Could one of the mods re-size them for me?

:lol: I will be needing to use the Infinate Improbability Drive to even get this weeks
ride, battling on Chamonix reverse :mad::grumpy::ouch: , man I hate those 5 sec penalties, specially when its the AI bouncing into me. At least I found the contrast control in the settings, now at least I can see where the road goes, and not be driving into a complete white out on some of those sections of the track (Chamonix) .

I was as shocked as everyone to hear the news of Richard Burns passing, and I think this weeks race is a great tribute to a great driver. (nice one Cyril) 👍

Perhaps I should have a "really hot cup of tea" and keep trying.

Steve
 
Cyril, that's great making a tribute to one of the best rallye drivers out there. We'll miss you Richard Burns. This one is for you.



T1: 0:16.221
T2: 0:36.041
T3: 1:04.019

I have really got to clean up my lines. They are sloppy.
 
I"ll give this one a go *IF* I have time this week. Just as a tribute to a great rally driver, much repsect and you will be missed by us rally enthusiasts. Oh and just because this will be the ONLY time I'll be able to say this....*clears throat* I AM ONE OF THE TOP 10 BEST WRS DRIVERS OVERALL CURRENTLY WOOOTTT!!!!!!!!! Thanks for listening...lol.

oh, back to an original track from PS1 GT´s.

how refreshing...

very good to run

the only tricky part is the corner after T2... just have to be careful there, not trying to overpush. anyway, 30 minutes into this.

T1 - 15´797 (best was 15´5)
T2 - 35´185
T3 - 1´02´382

cutting the last corner is useless, you can hit the start/finish line at 227 👍

this is one of the weeks with few tenths to gain... i don´t expect to see any 1´00´s in T3...

but we never know what the H´s will do...

Yes ... winning this damned car was a test of my patience, that's for sure ... a track I'm not familiar with ... snow ... 5 second penalty ... and another bloody car to contend with!
 
Regarding the 'chicane cutting,' I totally understand why the rule is being applied this way, especially since it seems like the gain in speed is small enough that you could not definitively state that someone did in fact cut the corner vs. finding that 'perfect line' and running it clean.

That said, given the rule "what happens before the start line is irrelevant" what would stop someone from taking a big ole nitrous boost before the line and then running 'clean & legal' the rest of the way around?

The obvious 'cure' for this is just to disallow the installation of nitrous on the vehicle, but if there is no such regulation, what's to stop the unscrupulous driver from exploiting a loophole?
 
My timing is superb:
16.046
36.012
1'03.904

EDIT: By timing I was referring to posting right after the leaderboard was updated.
I was trying to be subtle, Koly!
 
Your time is considerably better than mine ... I'm sooooooooooo far off the pcae that I should be in a division 4 on my own ... I have no freaking idea what to do on this track :(

You in the right car?

I hit a

15.8xx
35.3xx
1'02.7xx

Then the brake got stuck so i wasnt able to finish :crazy:

If your in the the right car fasj your flying!
 
First half hour. I'm using manual this week for the first time in ages. I feel I'll need it this week to be competitive.

T1 - 16.461
T2 - 36.273
T3 - 1'03.538

I'm using 250 gears. I don't know if this is right or not. But it allows me to use forth the whole way from T1 - T2.

And yeah, cutting the chicane is pretty much usless. I can cross the line at 142 without and 143 with cutting.

Yeah, those times are unreal. Are you sure you're not in the '01 Prototype. Which I havn't tested if it's faster or not, but it does look exactly the same. If not, WOW. That's pretty extreme.

Try 240 gearing Casio, perhaps will give you more torque thru the turns and it is just a split second away from topping out just before the big right hairpin. Here's my splits, maybe for the week... :scared: Time is an issue but I made room tonight in honor of.

T1 - 15.870 (best split I've seen here) :sly:
T2 - 35.844 (best splits I've seen here) :sly:
T3 - 1:03.295 (best split I've seen here) :sly: (not on purpose; took final chicane on concrete, but still clean :D)

Oh and EXCELLENT COMBO CYRIL, Top Notch!!!

OK I'm in 👍 , beat that pesky Chamonix race and now have the R. Burns Subaru 01

What a blast it is to drive, and that first section of Trial Mt. is a giggle , gotta luv it :p

T1 - 16.590
T2 - 36.861
T3 - 1.04.763

Shaping up to be a very competitive week :trouble::eek:

Steve
 
I know i'm not going to cut the chicane. it seems immoral.
 
How are all you guys doing T1 so fast! I can not get close to sub-16. I assume it's not flat out the whole way to the tunnel...

That seems to be the place I'm having the most trouble. For example, at T1, I'm about .6 off Jumps time, then it's about .4 at T2, and .2 at T3.
 
Got some clean times 👍

16.181
35.523
1'02.822

Loosing about .4 in T1 from my best.

So another .4 - .5 to be had i suppose.

The trick is to ride the corners, just floor it the WHOLE time, and keep up a nice sideways drift, so your side or back ONLY hits the walls, if your front hits the walls, you're screwed.

And damn, these times sound fast... I guess I'll go sit down to see how they are...

First of all, we're running this race in Arcade mode, which equals no nitrous.

Second, when we do run in GT Mode the use of nitrous is either allowed or not. So far it has not been allowed at all (though that will change in week 36 I understand) so if a car shows up on a replay with NOS installed the time is disqualified.
 
New splits.

T1 - 16.024
T2 - 35.721
T3 - 1'03.101
