GTP_WRS Week 68: The Island of the Three Diamonds

[geeTeye]

Sorry i missed that.

 

[Mr P]

Sorry to hear that Ron, went through the usual fixes I reckon?

Not tried anything yet mate.. I know how to fix the pedals when they spike take them apart and use contact spray etc.. but not sure about the gearing issue tbh.. Can I just spray contact spray in the paddle slits and leave it to dry out or does the wheel need taking apart? any tips are more than welcome 👍

Any chance of getting next week's up early admin? I want a jump on the competition if it's something that takes my fancy. A bit gutted I can't learn the rally events because of the noise. Maybe upgrading my wheel in the future is the way to go.

I had a blast! Thanks for the coaching too. I cut some time off my TT because of that.

Nice splits Javier! 👍 Not sure I have anything left and thought I was done with this one but the friendly competition is enough to have me give it another go. Without that you might as well be racing in GT league.

 

[Mr P]

I wont be running this one again as my wheel cant take it, Submitting my safest lap with no close calls.. there was only .008 between my saves anyway.

Tried racing this again today but my wheel has decided to start gearing up two gears with one click.. really annoyingly repetitive and lap wrecking 👎 will probably just submit my best from the other day if I don't get this fixed 🤬

Which wheel do you have and is it still a solid click or a mushy feeling when shifting?

Hi mate, I have a G29 and the gearing issue is still there as I found out on the Interlagos seasonal.. It's happening about 1 time in 3 laps which is way less than when I was rallying... tried spraying contact cleaner in it but seems only a short term solution any suggestions are welcome mate

Contact Spray won't solve it. As it is an oily thing it will grab up even more dust which is the problem for sure. Then it will get even worse.
If you still have warranty just send it back or contact Logitech and explain the issue and the importance of having a wheel - they're fairly cool with their replacement policy so you might get an all new one without having to wait too long
Best solution after that is to open the wheel and remove all the dust carefully with a soft brush made out of natural hair. Clean away the rest of the contact spray with some alcohol. Clear spirits are OK too
I'm having loads of problems with th G29 as well. G27 was way better.
Good luck with that!

Sorry, don't know anything about the G29, all my paddle experience is with the T300RS where the paddle hinges develop cracks causing similar problems.

@MikeyLCR I'm getting some Java and be back to it too. Good luck mate 👍

 

[RuddRacer]

Finally! On lap 100 of my session a new PB in sector 3 helped me shave .2 off my lap time. Never did figure out sector 2, only saw one 31.9xx all week.
Lap submitted and accepted, final splits.

Well done Stefan, @MikeyLCR congrats dude well done 👍 That was close

 

[Mr P]

Holy crap I got trunced badly :tup: Congrats to Stefan, Mikey and Javier for the top spots
Also nice finish for Ruddracer and routergod 👍

Embarrassed by my final time after seeing where I finished hahaha

Thanks for this info mate.. my warranty is definitely expired and looks like I have to take the wheel apart which sounds logical to get all that crap out of there Cheers bud will find a youtube guide and start investigating
