Steward's Comments:
This car is absolutely insane, but with the R3 tires and a nice flat track, it's a lot of fun. We haven't been to Indy Road for a Time Trial in quite a while, have fun!


Viewing your T1, T2 & T3 Lap Time Splits:





  • You need to make sure you save the 'Save Best Lap Replay' (ghost replay), not the 'Save Replay'





  • To view your best lap replay, go to 'My Home' and watch the replay from there using the 'Replay Theater' option.
  • While Viewing Your Replay, Choose the "Live Timing Monitor" To View Your Sector Times
  • To post your T1 and T2 Splits, simply post the sector times that are shown in the live timing monitor.
  • The WRS Fetchbot has been updated and will now add your splits together!

Standard Clean OLR Rules:


  • At least two tires in contact with track at all times.
    • In situations where contact with the track is not possible because tires are airborne (above the ground), then the run is only legal if at least two tires would have made contact with the track if the car were not airborne.
    • If track contact cannot be 100% determined, then consider it dirty.

  • Rumble/ripple strips are part of the track
  • No contact with walls or objects, visible or invisible
  • If you're not 100% sure that your lap is clean, then consider it dirty
  • No hybrids
  • No cheating of any kind,these are relaxed races and we are experienced racers, we know what times can be done,and we can read your mind.We will know.
  • Nothing that goes against the spirit of the rules
  • Save your best lap/ghost replay

Been away for a few week. This looks fun! Hope I get some time this week for this !
 
Ah this will feel like 'coming home again'. Still have dirt between my teeth :) Looking to be a promising combo 👍
 
Nice combo, hope to give it a go this week. Love the Zonda R with his agressive look and power 👍
 
Don't have the car or the credit on my GTP account, need to do this first.

GT World Championship: Pagani Zonda R '09 (P)
I will run it later.
Oil change ??
Ballast ??

It is a hotlap event in ARCADE mode, no need to buy the car 👍

This is one of my fave tracks :) and the car is one that I used alot in SHIFT but in arcade mode not being able to tame the beast by stretching the gears or calming it down by tweeking will be a challenge. I'll bet that I have put in over a thousand laps on this track since the GT5 Indy challenge contest so hopefully I have the right stuff to keep me interested. Good luk everyone 👍

That's the main reason we are driving it on Racing Softs on a flat track. The car is pretty insane, but the combo works.
 
Enjoying it so far! After 10 laps

20.609
17.281

I don't think its too bad to be honest
 
I'll update the car on the leaderboard in about 2 hours.

You mean I've been driving the Civic around Daytona for nothing! :lol: It's always interesting to see what mixed up combo pops up when the track/car is not in the database :)
 
EDIT: I had forgot how bad this car is with stock settings.
Is it? Its a challenge to balance it on throttle I admit but its not too bad with R3s.

Yeah my opinion exactly. Nice to see you back in too JB. :cheers:

This will probably destroy any chance I have of getting back into the rally event but I couldn't resist... :sly:

I have to admit Kevin, when I first read Racing Softs I thought "Why?"... but after having a go, I reckon R3s were spot on round here. 💡

Gonna need a LOT of throttle control :eek:

Thanks for the marker Chris, I'm never sure where I "should" be until I see some good D1 times. My current pace is about 1s/minute of lD1 track time, so I'm close now :)

Thanks mate 👍 BB 7/7 ABS 10 - be careful trail braking though, particularly into the long left in sector 2 (turn 5 I think) as the rear will suddenly snap out losing a huge chunk of time.

No worries mate. 👍 I never really know where I am either until one of our resident aliens pops in a time... but I don't think that's a bad start. I'm guessing I can go another 2 or 3 tenths but not sure where.. or how... just yet. :sly:

Yeah that's a nice step up mate. 👍

I did my motorcycle race license when I was 20 but never went anywhere with it, more's the pity. A bit of karting during my teens and then a couple of seasons in Caterham 7s in my early 20s but couldn't really afford more than that. Good fun anyway. :) I was never that hot at GT though, until last year when I finally had a decent wheel and something to bolt it to... wasn't great with a controller in GT4, then bought a Driving Force Ex wheel and improved a bit but was sat on the sofa with it on my knee and struggled horribly mostly due to lack of feel during braking. When Prologue came out, I bought a G25 but was still sat with it on my knee... then finally jury-rigged a rickety wooden thing on the front of my desk to bolt my wheel to, and coaster cups for my desk chair to stop me rolling away haha :dopey: Its far from perfect but I finally feel like I've reached my potential in GT.

I have Clubsport pedals with the GT3 now and that's the closest I've found to getting a realistic feel for braking.
Sorry for the GT-life story.

No need for apologies! that made me laugh:lol:
well I bet the catheram was fun! and the wheel on the knee thing... god knows how you put up with that.. my stand was made with old wood and a crappy little table, I had to pull my armchair up to it at first.. but then my mate crashed his mitsubishi colt so I nabbed the passenger seat and set it up on a board and now its pretty comfy :) will get a pic up on my profile soon

EDIT- also Chris I think you need to stop hot lapping and tidy your room! ;);)
 
Oh no... yanaran has arrived! good going on the formula tt, you still second?

Sorry wrong guy :dunce:

Amazing combo Kevin! This is crazy boatloads of fun :cheers:.

Splits after an hour:
21.541
20.097
17.023

Don't think I left any time out on track. Maybe a tenth in the last corner before the straight, but first three sectors were perfect.

Nice splits guys, especially yanaran and Chris. Decent job there too Phil!
 
Great starts Jonas and Mohit. 👍 No tidying for me this week then... :sly:
