Add me to the list for in car view with the time of day set to morning and the sunlight hitting the dash and windshield! WOW!
I think I am going to stay here all week and see what kind of times I can get...the OLR should be interesting!

 

[RuddRacer]

Initial shakedown, the last two sectors are still very sloppy.

I just ran about 8 laps in VR. I wasn’t any faster but it was plenty exciting

You should join the VR group Joe, it's run by @dranddad and they run an informal league based on our TT's 👍

Was there a reason why you decided to post that thread in the open section of on-line racing. If it's for WRS only would it be better in our TT section?

 

[Argon]

Don't forget to sign up for the on-line races folks, give it a go even if you have never tried one before.

I was under the impression the TT section was for official WRS events only, I wouldn't post any thing there none related, its start getting messy in the section.

It can be moved if admin agree.

I'll ask someone to move it Phillip, makes no sense being out there in the general racing section. I'd do it but I only have admin rights here in the TT and OLR sections

So deadline is an hour earlier from now on because of the timezone change?

 

[Argon]

So deadline is an hour earlier from now on because of the timezone change?

The deadline is always stated as GMT and so it never changes but everyone needs to be aware of any adjustments made to local times due to addition/removal of daylight saving. We provide a link in the OP for you to check this;

• The deadline is Monday, October 29th 2018 11:59pm GMT
• If you are unsure of the deadline try this site.

Why Use GMT?:
GMT is World Time and the basis of every world time zone which sets the time of day and is at the centre of the time zone map. GMT sets current time or official time around the globe. Most time changes are measured by GMT. Although GMT has been replaced by atomic time (UTC) it is still widely regarded as the correct time for every international time zone.

I had two of these just gathering dust in my garage; what a waste! Though someone appears to have stolen 5th gear (I'll have stopped looking for it by the end of the week).

Let my battle with turn one resume...

I’ll take one if it’s spare

Read 2.8M as 2.4M so need to get cash. Guide looks simple enough, 1 race and I’ll be there

Lost .2 in each of the first 2 sectors but got a nice last section to take .1 off my best lap so far 👍 Another half a sec at the line and I will be more than happy 👍

 

[dranddad]

I've been running laps with the in car view because it's absolutely awesome. I'll never put in a fast lap with that view but the sound and that view

Do you have this car Mike GIULIA TZ2 carrozzata Was one I always used in-car. I hope when I can afford it it's even better with VR

I've been letching after that car for a while now! Hoping it might come up on the carousel

No don't have that one, I never liked it in GT6 so probably won't be looking to acquire. I'm grinding for the Jag which was another favourite of mine but honestly this GT40 is da bomb for me.

Hope you get well soon Ron, glad we gave you something to distract you while you mend

Dayum!​

Yep stuck in the house with nothing to do but GT and watch movies.. I should get ill more often 👍

Saw a 1'15.4 T2 but overcooked the last turn Thankfully I have plenty of time to figure it out

 

[Gravitron]

First 3 laps in VR () and then 10 laps on normal mode. Only 3 tenths off the optimal for that session, but still a lot of time to find. Great splits posted so far!

Need to figure out when is best to drop to 1st rather than stay in 2nd. I *think* I figured out the last tight left is better with a downshift. @Mr P got time to write up some tips?

 

[dranddad]

Lucas.

I'm ok across the start line, after that it's all down hill whats the obsession with chicanes. Don't they know the laws of physics say car like to go in straight line.

Are you with the wheel now Guido? Just saw the setups thread. You prefer it?

Yes Will

In the moment I am still slower than with the DS4 but it is much more fun to drive with the wheel. 👍

 

[Hasnain282]

Quick daily workout run. Initial splits:

25.906
51.384

BB +1 for now

 

[Argon]

@Gravitron et al advice from @Mr P will be much more valuable given he has a MUCH better sector 2 but for what it's worth my gears at key corners are;

T1 = 2nd
T4 = 2nd
T6 = 2nd
T8 & 9 = 1st
T11 = 1st
T13 = 1st

Running BB-1

Really having fun with this, also you can pull off some epic powerslides with it which isn't fast but makes me smile!

..and Mike, believe it or not I was actually using all the same gears as you right off the bat....that has to be a first!!
