I'm pretty late to start serious laps for this week and as I see it, The rally car is really a tough one especially in the Ice Arena. All I see are my red cars in ice!!!! Red Ice!!
After winning 5 S-class races on ice, L-F tuning,default ride heights and stubborn steering...I got these on Time Attack:

Ice Arena: (reverse)
Nissan Bluebird 1600 Deluxe '69 - 1'03.004
Nissan Bluebird Rally Car '69 - 1'02.682

I'm gonna save Suzuka for Saturday and focus more on Ice.

New time for me ! I wanted to crack this 1'05 like Sylar so worked on tuning... I think I might have found something ! So here it is :

Nissan Bluebird 1600 Deluxe '69 - 1'05.904

 

[Detroitbb]

I did a few laps around Ice Arena last night and improved both my times by a small amount. I'll give Suzuka Circuit a shot this evening!

Ice Arena Reverse

Nissan Bluebird 1600 Deluxe '69 - 1'02.253
And I didn't improve my 1'01.079 with the Rally Car...

Ice is definitely not my garden... I tried lots different tunings but everytime I ended up being slower...
I'll give it a shot again tomorrow and I'll stop there...

Good luck guys !

EDIT : Suzuka Circuit East Course

Nissan Bluebird Rally Car '69 - 1'02.738 (one hour only to see a 0'00.100 improvement... yay !...)

Hi guys!!
I worked hard to survive this week and many thanks to Sir Lionface for the advice.

Definitely the analog steer saved me but somehow struggled familiarizing with it.
I have to admit its getting better!

My submission:

Ice Arena

Rally - 0'59.797

Reached the 1 minute barrier last Wednesday, and I couldn't improve anymore.

Stock - 1'02.394



Suzuka East

Rally - 1'02.382

My final lap was the 'magic lap', as I shaved 4 tenths off my time!

Stock - 1'05.925

I'm happy to get into the 1'05 barrier.


Combined times:

Ice Arena: 2'02.191
Suzuka East: 2'08.307

Final Time : 4'10.498


This session was great, as I was here from beginning to end, although I missed week 21 . 3 podiums is a great achievement for me, and my PSP, for both of us surviving! My PSP is getting old and worn, and the mainboard sometimes glitches, although 2 hours of playing removes the problem, which I did.

See you next session!

I struggled this week. Then I got frustrated. Then I kind of ignored it. Then I tried it again... which led to more frustration. All in all, I gave a pretty poor effort and my times pretty much reflect that fact. That being said, I did enjoy watching these old beauties in the replays!


Suzuka Circuit East

stock: 1'06.384

rally: 1'03.123

Was trying to get the Bluebird under a minute on ice arena but just can't find that extra one and a half tenth of a second. Happy with times though at one point didn't look like I would get out of the 1.01.xx until I discovered that traditional rally line and trying to drift Bluebird around the corners was alot slower than taking the normal track racing line.

Here we are again, at the end of another good racing session. And topping the leaderboard this week is Lion-Face! He was about a second faster than Pitch this week. Rounding out the podium finishers was Dan360, who had yet another strong showing (it's been a great session for him).

As far as the overall standing are concerned, Lion-Face takes first with the mark of 48 points. Dan's strong 3rd place effort this week secures the third overall spot for himself alone (by one point!). Sylar narrowly missed the podium, finishing with 27 points. Easyasashii was close behind with 25. Pitch finished this session with 14 points, one point ahead of red ice (who snagged 7th overall for himself).

Once again, Lion-Face... please step forward and accept your trophy!

[Lion-Face]

Thanks Detroitbb, been a pleasure once again. Hope to see more competition in the new season, seeing as I won every WTAC this season

Biggest surprise for me was Sylar, seeing at the end of the second season, I thought he would be my biggest threat for the 2nd season but just didn't seem to have the pace he did at the end of the first season.

Another surprise was Dan360, he came out of nowhere to set some very quick times, and often I found myself at the start of a new week with a quick initial time set by Dan360 and under pressure to get up to speed quickly.

Great to see easyasashii back as a regular competitor and detroitbb is always near the top (we'll forget about last week )

red ice as well, maybe not as quick but your here every week and its the only way your going to get faster! I'm a firm believer in the more time you put into something, the more you get out of it. I don't think I have any sort of 'gift' for playing games as some people believe other players have, nor do I think I'm an 'alien'. I put a lot of time into them to get where I am, and I also know, no matter how fast I may be, there will always be someone out there faster, and its always trying to go faster than you think possible. I don't have a limit, the car does, and every week is a journey to find the limits of the car.
