GTP_WRS Week 42 : Slightly PUGnacious

[Argon]

Finally getting under 23 in sector 1!

Are people generally running front or rear brake bias? I’m -2 at the moment which is front right?

@Hasnain282 you’re a hero for using the motion on the DS4. I’ve just tried it and was all over the place!

+1

Thanks, took a while to get used to but the more laps you do the better you get

Yes, that is front bias...I started at -2 as that is what I like most of the time but I have switched to +2 for this combo and feel it is helping me lower my lap time. Congrats on your sector one time!

 

[skaboy607]

Found a second at the line. It’s just so hard to string all your best sectors together.

BB at +2 seems to be working for me atm. T3 needs to be improved. Overall, i'm really happy with the current results.

Quick question. Let's say that i need to submit a replay. Is there a problem if the replay is not a "best lap replay" but a normal one?
I was doing hotlaps (1 lap then retry) and i forgot that i had a time registered that was dirty, so every lap that i did in an 1 hour session was just a bit slower than the dirty one. Most of the replays that've saved are a lap long with the first sector of lap 2 complete.

 

[skaboy607]

I need to improve sector 2. Must be the fast bit before the bridge. I’ve found 3 tenths in sector 1 but not found any in 2 yet.

1st left of sector 3 I struggle with. I don’t clip the kerb because it unsettled the car. And when I try take a swooping line into it it drags me wide and into the barriers.

I would prefer that it wasn't. If the replay only has one lap in it then it's not an issue but if we have to wade through trying to find the right lap from many then we'll more than likely disallow it

Nah it's only the hotlap and one more sector.

The left coming off the bridge, correct? If so then brake early (just after the 150) and don't be afraid to coast until you know you have the front end grip and the line to floor it.

In that case it will be OK just this once

At least the hour of practice during the OLR and watching the fast guys paid off...

Thanks Mike.

Lap time submitted, might have another go at tonight to improve but if not it, I share the replay on Tuesday.

Credits for the guy in the chat during WW race who said to shift at 3/4 of the revs.
Why didn't I think off that

Now addiction kicks in
Short shifting at the downhill parts and using more track allso helps.
The right sweeper after the bridge remains a problem,runnin it in 4th gear
to have less understeer but have to use 5 to maintain speed I guess.

Looking at the leader board this morning and those times are to close to call. Time to cancel any plans and lock the doors after the f1

A smidge slower this one but on checking my replays turn one in the previous lap is really borderline, don't want to inflict that on anyone so I'll put this as my banker before some more banzai laps

I guess he disappointed you again
Don't really have a favourite driver, but i'd be more of a kimi fan


.5 improvement go far

If only I could string a lap together, I might actually have a fast time.

Is it better to coast down the hill before bridge or braking? It’s a relatively short sector I seen to lose time in.

Decided to turn ghost off as well. Too distracting.

 

[Hasnain282]

Gained 0.3s at the line, still room for improvement though

There is plenty of advice on how to run this track, you just need to read through the posts. @Small_Fryz pretty much gave the best advice on this section here

 

[skaboy607]

Thanks for the reminder. I’d forgotten about that advice. Too many things tried!

Nice improvement at the line with this one even though I've now lost the line in turn 1

If I had a pound for every time I'd tried to change up to 7th in sector 4 i'd be a happy man!

Changing the subject, if I ever meet the Logitech designer who put the option and PS buttons so close together I'll shove his wheel where the sun don't shine!

I never press options to pause. I literally move my thumb on that side and even if one of these buttons is pressed it simply does the work .

 

[skaboy607]

Just been reading about the different wheels and pros and cons of each.

What a minefield! Some players suggesting controller is just as fast so need for a wheel. Must be a more fun experience though.

There is a very small percentage of players that excel using the controller and I do mean a very small percentage. Generally a wheel is better over a controller for most folks but the transition when made is not instant and it takes commitment.and a LOT of practice
