I'm about to dive in for my evening run at the dream lap. If Zoky is around can I ask you an obvious question about the gear shifting method that you used? Are you short shifting this car like you were in the Mitsu? Thankzzz in advance :)








FYI: PSN is still down as of now :(

Don't know how the fast guys do it but when I leave it for a day its takes me at least an hour in my next session to get near my times. Found some time in T1 matched my T2 but a bit poor in my T3 but faster overall.

T1: 36.191
T2: 43.844
Still on a run so hoping for a bit better.

Managed a better run I'm chasing your time lefty, would really like a gold in D3. Lost a bit in T1 gained big in T2 and was ok in T3 not sure if its good enough for the win though.

T1: 36.352
T2: 43.642

Nice T3 T2 Nizzy 👍

Nice splits from Wes too - good arrows mate 👍

T1 improvement for me, seem to have reached a plateau with T2:

T1: 35.656
T2: 43.448

Slightly better T3 but still a bit.. err.. reckless I think is the word..

Edit - yeah I meant T2 Nizzy :dunce:

Thanks, I take it you meant my T2, I was really impressed with it, not sure if I will ever repeat it but if I can I might be able to take .4 off my overall time as my T1 and T3 were not my quickest.

I realise this is your event but I would still like a D3 gold, been close a few times but the best I got was bronze so I will be trying till the end. Looks like it's going to be close.

Nice splits, what is it with scottsmen and rally. :sly:

Some lessons from my hero
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LKAYtaD_t4&NR=1&feature=fvwp

Never forget when he didn't listen to Nicky Grist and rolled the car. The famous "Listen to me Colin!". Guess that was revenge for Grist giving him the wrong pace notes :scared:

This is how the focus is meant to be driven :)

That grit and determination attitude, never give up no matter what. (Remember Mad Max Day?)

@Nizzy/Vagabond
It's going to come down to the battle of T3 I think. My T3 is really pot luck at the moment. Really hard to know where exactly the invisible wall is.

Lefty. Yes, I'm short-shifting but not like the lancer. Main places are:
After the 1st corner of T1 before the jump into 4th
At the 1st corner of T2 into 3rd
Rest of the tight corners in T2 from 2nd to 3rd.

Lefty, Zocky already picked me up, said he'd drop me back off in Week 11 :lol:
BTW check your PM

It's looking like a good race for D3 to me. Lefty has T1 and the lead, but Nizzy has the better T2, meaning he's got the momentum! :cheers: to you both!!

Race On!
 
T1: 35.509
T2: 43.016

Slightly unhappy about T3. But I'm just glad I didn't hit the invisible wall.:)
I never really liked rallying for some reason. I couldn't get the hang of it and I just didn't like it. This event has made me look different to rallying. I now enjoy it and I'm not the slowest anymore. Incredible as at first I really struggled to get gold.

Very nice congrats,guess I'll have to hit the track again although I don't see much time left!!!Need to improve that sector2.....laters!:)
 
35.256
43.147

Went to cautious in sector2 but had a very good last sector I think.....will try some more and sry for the double post!
 
Holy cow. Now I know why it's Loeb, and not me.

T1: 37.850
T2: 46.146

I'm thinking I'm losing seconds in those long sweeping corners. That's where the time is.

Incredible T1 :eek:
 
Zoki, Wes - [expletives]!! :crazy:

Well done indeed you guys - incredible splits. Looks like you have your own mini leaderboard just for the two of you.
 
Another hour yesterday and nearly that today has resulted in some better splits.:)

36.060
44.070

There is still a few tenths in it for me, if I can get it right for the entire lap and even if I can't, I'm happy with my effort this week.:gtpflag:
 
I nailed T1 earlier but nothing came of it. This T1 is half a second slower.:angry:
37.338
45.325

Flat 43's , never thought we would see that 👍 Wonder if high 42's is possible now? You two going great guns now.

And 35.2xx , must be a hole in one of those invisible walls :sly: I think even PD developers would be shocked :eek:

The theoretical fastest time is scary , 18.2xx.

I'm slowly slipping away now, completely lost my T1 for some reason and struggling to get 35.9xx now. Was busting 35.7xx easily before, and haven't changed anything at all. Going to be hard to hold off Chris here, T3 is my weakest sector.

Good luck guys, hopefully can still retain a D2 podium though. :nervous:

Snuck in a few laps in the few moments I've had to myself the last few days as I wait for an overdue baby boy.

T1: 38.230
T2: 46.489

Definitely left a lot of time in the first sector. Love the rally!
 
T1: 37.209
T2: 47.263


Been trying to better those times above but to no avail....as yet!

Better T1, T3 and overall TT. I did better on a later lap, but still have to make sure it's clean.

But right now, the lady is outside the Man Cave! Stay tuned. ;)

Hmm....I saw 35.4/42.8 as my best today but last sector is....:grumpy::grumpy:...spent a lot of time today on this one and got very close to my goal though I didn't get it, hopefully tomorrow....:nervous:
 
Minor improvement on T1 and T2 but almost .4xx at the line (so close to the walls:scared:)

T1: 35.788
T2: 44.225
 
Thanks Vagabond!

Slightly better splits:
T1: 35.470
T2: 43.009

Impossible T2

No worries :) And call me Chris.

Yours and Zoki's times remind of when I was a kid and a bigger kid would pinch my hat and hold it way up in the air and laugh at me as I jumped up and down.

I'm making a mess of T1 today and can't get inside 35.9xx when yesterday I was getting regular 35.6xx and .7xx. T2 is definitely stuck at 43.4xx but I did a ballistic T3 and beat my time by 0.2 with a 0.4 slower T1. I'm done for the day and tomorrow hopefully sort out that T1.

If you nailed that T3 then i'm toast. It's strange how a sector that we were good at suddenly slips away like you mention in T1. I wonder sometimes about the psychology of racing, being mentally strong is also what makes for a good racer (I fall for the jedi mind trick everytime :sly: ). Good luck mate, I think you might have a D2 win here. 👍

42.8xx , that didn't take long. Amazed by how you D1 guys can just bang in quick laps on request. That is SCARY quick! I completely fluked my 43.1xx and have never replicated it again. Can only manage a 43.3xx every 4 laps or so, but in reality averaging 43.6xx. That's almost a second just there, must be my accelerator is broken. What else could it be ;)

Great to see w-g-e up there with some mega times. And let's see the nice battle between Nizzy, Lefty and ASH all covered by 0.2 seconds. The Lefty clan is taking out Division honours at the moment with Little in D4 overall. :cool:
