GTP WTAC Week 104: nascarlemanslmp's Choice


*** It's been a while since we had a rally challenge in the WTAC (it's long overdue!), so I'm glad that nascarlemanslmp choose this combo for us - the Subaru IMPREZA Sedan WRX STi Version II ’95 and the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution III GSR ’95. A Lancer versus an Impreza is one of the classic battles in GT PSP and in autoracing! ***

I can't upload the times this week
But I will try my classic challange. This is gonna be fun wrx vs evo. Theres been some rally events in my country recently. Alot of cars were featured from modified toyota starlets to wrx's. I have also been trying different rally cars in time trial mode. Good luck
 
Did two laps with both cars just for fun :D

(Only 0.00 rear toe tuned)
Evo III ~ 2'59.9xx
Impreza ~ 2'59.2xx

It's obvious this week's gonna be a great experiment for rally tuning set ups 👍

Cool, I had a quick go on the bus this morning and managed 3'00.xxx with the Evo III, so at least I'm in the right area!
 
There's actually a lot of room for improvement here, I'd say with more practice on the track a time around the low 2'58 range is possible, and if you're lucky with the tuning (which really needs a ton of luck to it :sly:) a time of at least 2'56 is possible. :D
 
I've only got the EVO at the moment :(

I'm on day 10 and I think I'll be able to get the Impreza at day 47 :grumpy:

You can skip days by entering into a race (you don't actually have to see the car on the track; just the menu directly before that) and then backing out. Do it once more and you've now skipped two days and a new group of auto manufacturers will be available.

👍

Thanks, I did that last night. I was hoping that the list of manufacturers/days was correct because I had to skip to day 47. Luckily it was so, I've got the Impreza now!

👍
 
Started playing around with the settings for both cars and got the following times:

GC8 ~ 2'52.9xx
Evo 3 ~ 2'53.7xx

I'm comfortable on the settings with the Impreza, though I still need to do something about the understeer on the Evo.
 
lol!! another Initial D face-off,
Hoping to recover and get back to work , and try to find a friend with a psp.
Good Luck guys!

There he is! WTAC's own Rally Specialist, red ice!

As always, I'm hoping for your rapid recovery and also, I'm hoping that we get to see you run this week's challenge, rally tracks are your forte, after all. 👍
 
lol! I need to work first... I have no more money... joke!!!
Hospital is free but check ups and medicines are mine. Still, I'm thankful to have the benefit of freebies from the government.

Colin McRae (R.I.P) vs Tommi Makinen
let's see who's BOSS!

Wow, I managed a 2'53.xxx with the Impreza, but cannot get the EVO III below 2'55.xxx at the moment!

Did a few more laps to test my current settings, and got better times :D

Evo 3 ~ 2'51.3xx
Impreza ~ 2'51.2xx

Now that I look at it, the Impreza's more of a wild gun than the Evolution. The earlier understeer I complained about with the Evo turned out to be in part of my driving and my unfamiliarity with the track, it only took enough practice to get better times.
I think only a few ticks and I'd get the settings I'd feel comfortable with, but I'll certainly be handling both cars differently.

Wow, those are good times! 👍

I haven't had a really good go yet, so I'll give it a go tonight!
 
I can't believe that I am the first one who wanted this...
This is soooo hard to make even one clean lap... :/

I'll make submission with my 3' times today after work...
I'd rather start to getting comfortable with shelbys than go back on dirt... :scared:
