GTP_WRS Week 48 : Gee Tee Forty

[lilcat89]

Very jealous. I debate every weekend whether the wife really means no when she says no to buying and storing a wheel and pedals in the living room of our 2 bed flat

I’m starting to get really anxious to get it all set up. Roommates said I had to get a table in order to get the setup.

 

[Gordy749]

Damn but you guys are fast. I managed...

26.538
52.524

I'm not a fan of Interlagos. My big problem (other than being a slow driver) is braking too late, so turns 1,2 3, 7, 8, 9, 10 I'm always trying to get the car to not fly off into the sunset...

 

[RuddRacer]

Same here Eric...

Stick with it, eventually you will start having the good T1's again to go with the new and improved sector 2 times.

Not sure this is an option for you but this is what I have and really like it. Only draw back for me is I wish the peddle base height/angle was adjustable.

Welcome Gordy

Stick with it, there are all levels in WRS and you'll enjoy every minute, no matter what your level

Yes. As long as part of the tire is still in contact with the legal racing surface.

 

[Pigpin13]

Yes. As long as part of the tire is still in contact with the legal racing surface.

Thank you.

 

[suprajef]

Thank you.

2 tires in a line on the same side on the legal road surface

Thanks Jeff. After further review, I went off twice. Maybe that’s why that lap was so fast

 

[RuddRacer]

New PB in the 2nd and 3rd sector. I"m still trying to get my T1 back down into the .5xx's, have not seen one since the 1st day.

Gordy try braking as soon as the brake-light-indicator comes on, you should then make every corner. Slow yes but you can adjust it from there, you can then if you wish look for track makers, shadows, even the position of the sun in the sky if you wish.

The brake indicator is a good place to start with tracks you don't get on with, or cars that are hell bent on defying the laws of physics.

Little to get back what I lost in sectors 2 & 3 and I'll be about done. Made a right hash of 4 / 6 / 7 some how. Last turn could still be better.

 

[skaboy607]

Finally got the car. Very hard. 1st lap 1st turn I really thought my controller was broken because i wasn’t slowing down at all! 3 laps in, missus comes home. Practice aborted :-(

Normally drinking beers does it for me as well.

I'm glad someone is nailing T1 because I'm not.

Are you using 1st gear?

 

[GTP_Guido]

Small improvement at the line.

25.599

I have never seen a 50.xxx in T2

 

[dranddad]

@hirnsauger69 your doing well with your wheel Guido

 

[CBH]

Is this ok ?.

Yea using 1st it rotates the car for me to floor it down the hill changing to 2nd at t2 with a little bit of lift. For t3 i'm try to get just a bit of front left on the kerb so i can keep my foot down.

Is this ok ?.

Yep it's clean two wheels on the same side are in contact with the track or kerb in this case.

Thanks Phillip

But these splits are with the DS4...
