I pulled a pretty impressive lap and finally golded it. Well, I am not recording any but T6 and lets just say I am around 2:47.

Oh, and on the leaderboard it should be Kolyana not Koylana. :) Not nitpicking. Just wanted to point it out.

Just checked my spot in Luxy's board too.... I am right in between amp and Kolyana. Oh no. I need to improve. Just a few hundredths!
 
So how many of us here have absolutely crushed the entire course, way ahead of your last fast lap, and then totally F'ed it up on the very last chicane?
 
lol me! I got a 1 second lead over my current best and then lost it all in indianapolis. On a couple when i was really going for it I cut the grass a little bit on the right in that last chicane and got 'failed'. Why it has 'OH YEEAAHHH!' in the failing music is beyond me. nd it's the Duffman song.

Of all the chicanes on this course, I've never messed up on the last one. It's the other three I have problems with. :grumpy:

I did that this morning on my last lap before work, two seconds ahead of my ghost at T6. So I've been sitting at work all day waiting to get to try it again. :rolleyes:

Countless times last night. If there was a zone to be in while running the lap, I was certainly not in it. I'd say I restarted 30 times or so (was getting tired, but my friend had better splits and i wanted to overtake before i went to sleep) before just giving up. Should've done that in the first place, though.. woke up and completed my first lap out front.

Yeah, I bet my Failed to Finished lap ratio is about 30:1. :ouch:

Have some new T times. However, my T6 is ~.468 slower than my last fastest, but total lap time is ~.600 faster overall. T6 to the finish line can definately make or break you. Could make for some upsets this week.

I still have tons of time to make up. Just can't seem to string it all together yet. :grumpy:

T1: 29.505
T2: 1.01.984
T3: 1.28.024
T4: 1.49.458
T5: 2.16.707
T6: 2.45.164

Ouch.

You're telling me. I just (literally) saw ~.2 exiting New Maison Blanche (to last straight bit) and saw another ~.3 because of my conservative line into Ford Chicane and boom (ironic, your user name).. took it too fast in excitement and let it all go to waste. Perhaps you jinxed me. :indiff:

Nice splits.
 
Been 3.5 seconds up at T6 and then sat ONE Wheel (right-rear) in the sand on the exit of final chicane!

Bloody well span me like a top into the right-hand wall about 2 foot from the line!

Beat that!

T1: 29.380
T2: 1:01.256
T3: 1:27.126
T4: 1:49.432 (Here's where I fall apart...took Indianapolis completely wrong).
T5: 2:17.258 (Screwed up here too)
T6: 2:45.281 (Didn't hit the final chicane hard enough or fast enough)

Overall I'm pleased with these times, but I know there's at least another second out there to be had. In the end I hope I can compete.
 
Wow, this is really giving me trouble this week, i'm enjoying the course & driving what feels like "good" but i'm sucking in times and really need to figure my mistakes asap! I'm just gonna be happy as larry if i get a top 20 this week :)
 
Finally familiarized myself a little more with the Ford Chicane.. shaved .8

What's required to unlock it? I haven't looked yet (will tonight). I finished 7th in last week's WRS event in D2, so I'm obviously doing something right, yet I'm only 36% in GT4 and have only gone so far as the IB license (I don't bother doing licenses until I want to race in an event that requires it).

But if I haven't unlocked the S license then according to you I'm not qualified to participate this week? C'mon 👎

Come on, you know what I mean - I'm saying that if by now you haven't been ABLE to unlock or finish the S license then you probably aren't going to snatch a podium. I wasn't talking about people who haven't got around to it yet.
 
T1 = 30.962
T2 = 1'02.600
T3 = 1'28.747
T4 = 1'50.298
T5 = 2'18.261
T6 = 2'47.003
WRS Div-3 -- With a DS2. My Mad Catz wheel slows me down.

After looking at the leader board, it seems about right... less radical than last week.

Last week though. I was a stupid one who bought the N1 when I got the game and drove probably 1000 laps on Twin Motegi getting it tuned and just having fun. I did that and went through a few of the cars.

^^ All of that seems unbelievable but I got bored real quck and did that.
 
Well finally figured out the final section, managed to improve by .3 seconds overall although i'm almost 1 second behind at T6 than my previous best :ouch: . Just gotta put it all together.

T1: 0'29.700
T2: 1'02.078
T3: 1'27.078
T4: 1'49.223
T5: 2'16.264
T6: 2'43.922
 
I knocked off 1.9 seconds even though my earlier T sectors are a bit slower

T1 - 30.055
T2 - 1'02.624
T3 - 1'29.100
T4 - 1'50.741
T5 - 2'18.447
T6 - 2'46.869

EDIT - I just knocked off .5 or so, although the t times were worse
 
T1 - :29.575
T2 - 1:01.699

Shaved another .470 off and still room for improvement, but it's gonna be real tough for me to do, as well as frustrating. :(
 
Seems I'm addicted to this challenge.. shaved .4

T1: 29.624
T2: 1'01.168
T3: 1'27.140

I guess it must have been me and the early version GT4 then. My replay is all messed up as well, it's cut-off'ed a couple feet before the finishline. Too bad, I can't even compare my times on the L-board. :guilty:
 

T1: 29.730
T2: 1'2.305
T3: 1'28.188
T4: 1'50.058
T5: 2'17.653
T6: 2'46.457



There's another second in this, for sure, but I'm really unsure about the entire last half of the track and I'm not picking it up quickly. I either lose a second on the final half or lose a second on the first half ... if I can combine them together, there's a mid 2'45 to be had at T6 for sure.

Oh, and crossed the line a WHOPPING 1.7 seconds faster than my previous best. I'm chuffed.

BTW, Luxy, Fryz, Jump_Ace is NOT D3, k? I almost had a heart attack when I saw that in the leaderboard.
 
secsok, had another go today and i improved my time by .7 secs with a better finish

T1 29.435
T2 1'00.699
T3 1'26.563
T4 1'48.012
T5 2'15.057
T6 2'42.738
