GTP_WRS Week 11 : Sweeping Willow

[Speedy6543]

S1 needs work. S2 looks as I know how to take it.

More talk about shifting points, so I had to test this again. I also remember a GT3 daily race on Monza, where a top racers replay with the C7 showed shifting at 75% rev bar.

This time I wrote down the results and did 2 runs for each scenario;

Shifting at blinking: 24.506; 24.490
Shifting at 75% rev bar: 24.380; 24.369
Shifting at 50% rev bar: 24.369; 24.370
Shifting at 25% rev bar: 24.439; 24.442
.. units in seconds

I'd say the conclusion is to shift between 50% and 75% rev bar.

TC was set to 0 (not sure if this affects shifting time, but the TC blinks at shifts if it is on).

Like the last time the test was done on Tokyo Inner East Loop, approcing the start line with full gas in 1st gear, and shift up just as the finish line disapears from view in bumper cam. I keep in the middle lane till the first sector splits which are the times I posted above.
Feel free to challenge the methology, as it would be good to improve it if faulty.

Will run a session at Big Willow in a bit

Thanks @monoha
I’ve been taking it to 99% of the bar, hopefully using this great tip I can knock a bit off my initial splits

Had faster splits and a massive tank slapper on the last corner but .6 up at the line and no wildlife casualties this lap!
BB 0, shifting all over the place!

Sorry for the double post but Fetchy has an aneurism if you edit.
Just realised I've beaten my target times!
Thanks to you guys and all your advice I'm driving out of my skin atm.

This helps-

Soo, after a very long session, 101 laps, 2h, 3 flips, countless spins and a significant decimation of the local wildlife I came up with this:

[BuddhaMonk777]

First testlaps:

22.467
26.807

 

[BigDawg_1281]

Getting a little faster. Struggling to get S1 and S2 down. Feel good in S3.

Are you playing dukes of hazard, driving on 2 wheels?

Goal is reached,all laps faster is a bonus.

2 wheels are my natural environment. What happened next, less so! But it was clean. Still can't believe I saved it and it was my fastest S3 to boot.

 

[Nerazzurri]

Another improvement by adjusting my gear changes. Still loads to take from this, I’m having great fun with this one after finding the last two weeks pretty challenging

I can hear your footsteps getting closer.

Baby steps...

[BigDawg_1281]

Improved some, still have to figure out S2... I am lost here for some reason

So, as usual at this track, it's build and demolish sand castles for couple of dozen laps. Get a base time in and get back to those sand monuments again.
Eventually,

23.431
27.752

Hope to get at least 5 or 6 clean laps in this week.
Still, can't stand around here chatting to you lot. I got sand storms to whip up.
Nice combo though.

 

[Renrag39]

@BigDawg_1281 Give the videos posted by @Argon and @giznav a look. S2 in giznav's vid helped me massively.

There is my luck again as each week, except the second one in Roadster, i need to buy a combo car, even I have almost all other cars around
Not a complain, just find it funny, that from all the cars I won in the marathon lottery, I didn't won the one used for combo

Let's go then to try out this yellow thing..

 

[Maique]

Another stint...

Small improvement...

[monoha]

You're welcome

First session, 80 km and only 2 force majeure pit stops.

22.491
25.973

Seen much better t1.

Had another 80 km session here after badminton,

22.225
26.058

Still need to find 2 tenth overall..

Quite addicting combo! Thanks WRS stewards!

Is it Saturday already?

Initial splits

23.010
27.939

TC 0 and death in eyes ^^
It is driveable on TC zero, yes, but not my cup of tea to constantly catching up the back going sideways faster than front

 

[Koutch_Pro]

ok, did have a small go, this isn't "my thing".

splits ;

@Renrag39 I reckon you must be high enough to jump now! Make sure all your webbing is tight.
3........2.......1........JUMP.

2nd. WOW well done!!!!!

Captain Hedgehog, my hero.
You obviously had your Weetabix this morning.

When you land make sure you get on with that banner.

Stint 2 of Session 1

22.942
27.639

Optimal gained another .5 on me, so now it is .7 ahead

 

[Bass Addict]

This is the first time I feel comfortable enough in a Gr.3 car with TC: 0 and MT...I guess I am slowly getting better thanks to all the help around here! 👍 Oddly enough, even though I didn't do very well with the 69' Vette @ Miyabi, the lessons learned with that combo are really helping me with this combo...

22.622

[Mires]

Short 2-lap stint 3 (back to TC2 after first stint)

23.256
26.953

.4 gained at the line, optimal still .7 ahead :/
