GTP_WRS Week 12 : A Rainbow of Sporty V12's

[EDK]

I think it's worth trying, it's only 1 click either way. But my luck, I will go 2 or 3 clicks .

I struggle the most with T2 and T3. Trying to keep my speed just right. I get it right about every 4 or 5 laps

I struggle with T1, I get a competitive time 1 out of 10 laps.

I struggle with T1, I get a competitive time 1 out of 10 laps.

Seems I do best in T1 by getting off the brake before the apex and letting it coast thru the apex. Then ease back in the throttle.

Oh, I don't mean Turn 1, I mean the T1 split.

Now that I read your post again, I realize the track only has 2 sectors and you are struggling in the same place I am.

Turn 2/3 is a 🤬 .

I have zero consistency with turns 2 and 3. Drives me 🤬 crazy

 

[MikeyLCR]

lol my first sector is slower than Tuesdays but my lap time is the quickest I've done, If I can get that damn turn 2/3 theres a decent time!!!

27.425

edit: and that's with a slight tank slapper up the hill to the last bend!

 

[_r_p_m_]

Oh. My.

I've been so annoyed this week. I couldn't get close to anyone, a best of a 28.1.

Then I think, I'll check what tyres it says on the op.

Oh yes, I've been running sports hard!

FML

on the plus side you should be able to nail it on those softs now!

 

[_r_p_m_]

Let me tell you, you learn a lot about weight control on SH!

Second lap:

27.388

That's more like it. I thought I'd forgotten how to drive or something

 

[_r_p_m_]

This is fun now! Haha. Run out of time tonight but at least I'm amongst the low 27s. Super close.

27.284

I ran hard tires for the first day too. Couldn't figure out how on earth I was so far behind. Luckily I caught mine that day

 

[Windy_1238]

Getting to know this buggy somewhat better.

 

[Windy_1238]

Messed up the post on the time on previous post!

 

[MikeyLCR]

Alcohol kicking in

[Nerazzurri]

Only done about 400 miles this week, I’ve been close to my fastest lap several times but beating it is proving impossible. Just can’t seem to carry enough speed through 2&3, plus consistency around the final hairpin is non existent

Time to give it up & hope next weeks ride is a bit more predictable! I hate this 🤬 Ferrari

 

[Windy_1238]

So I'll try to post it again
27.851

 

[EDK]

Only?

 

[Nerazzurri]

Only?

I usually do between 800- 1000

What can I say I’m a WRS addict

No doubt you guys will pass me in the results

27.412

Not sure how much more i can improve

 

[BigDawg_1281]

Well, I improved my lap time by .2 and have seen glimpses of my potential. Which is quicker than I initially thought. I did lose .002 on my S1 in this lap. I have seen some .0s on S1 just not good S2s to go with. Will work some more on this over the weekend.

27.111

Edit: btw @EDK, I could not get the adjusting BB to work well for me.

Something to try that I like tho. Instead of braking for turn 2, just down shift. Seems to be smoother and you don't lose any time.

 

[ColinNZ]

Did another 40-50 laps and managed to reach my target time. I did this, however, on the back of a poor run through sector 1, so I'm not satisfied yet.

The struggle of the journey pays off in time

 

[quentin1974]

I just tried to play GTSport and all my cars are gone. only ones I have now are from the DLC. I am so mad right now. what the ****. Is there a way to get my stuff back. all because of this stupid online saving ****. I have played this game everyday since I bought it. I get off work late tonight and come home to this ********. guess I am done with this tt. just found a way to get everything I had back except the Ferrari which I will just re-buy. Now I don't have to call Sony and cuss them out.

 

[MikeyLCR]

Just out of curiosity, is everyone wringing its neck all the way to the redline on the straight and up the hill?

I do on the front straight. I don't worry so much in the esses.

Kills me I am still 0.5 from optimum!

 

[monoha]

I only use left foot. Once you get used to it, it is faster.

Think of it as driving a kart. It's easier than you think.

I have been doing that since day one with the wheel, however I am not good at shifting with the clutch because of the bar that runs between my legs...

Oh yeah, that was fun. I had to break some eggs while finding throttle control.

First 35 laps:

27.289

@monoha left foot braking is a must. When I switched from DFGT plastic pedals to @EDK's G25 pedals, the increase in strength of the brake pedal had me walking a little funny as my left foot slowly got stronger than my right, haha.

(What is EDK's pedals? A mod? I'm on G27, perhaps that mod would work for me as well?)

I drive like this with any car that gets twitchy under braking. If you give a car gas at the same time you're braking, the car will be much more stable.

Yeah, you should probably learn to left foot brake. Its a good idea for every combo for 2 main reasons; one being that you can brake and accelerate at the same time to stabilize the car, and the second is that in the time it takes to take your right foot off the gas and onto the brake, you could be braking later by using your left foot.

Also left foot all the time in the game, but can't do it in my real car to save my life!

Well thats an eye opener for me. I haven't raced in real life, but seen pros do it, but never thought about doing it myself. I just tried it a bit and it feels so akward, but yeah, probably need plenty of practice to feel natural. This combo will have to do as my training ground for left foot braking.

 

[MikeyLCR]

I'm continuing my study into drunk driving versus sober, my conclusion so far don't drive a 512 when your drunk, stick to a Corvette! Last week my second fastest time of the week was after most of a bottle of wine, tried the same last night and couldn't get within 2 seconds of my best

Better this morning though:

27.301

Hehe, well, lets see if it isn't too early to get some benefit from left foot braking or my current +0.001 delta will have to do!

EDIT: okay, that worked better than I thought. Saw a .2 improve on the line and even a .946 in T1.

Also changed to - 3bb, helps a lot in sector 1.

27.070

Done 250 km, so will probably stop here, let's see. Might join the race tonight as my plans have changed.

Don't give up yet. Try rethinking how you are doing things. This car does not like to be told what to do. You have to be gentle and smooth with her. Sometimes she just needs a little convincing. But, sometimes you have to let her do her thing.
