GTP_WRS Week 8 : Slip Slidin' Away

[RuddRacer]

Trimmed off a tad more time. Not sure how much more is left but I am encouraged that I can replicate a .5xx in sector 1 and had my first every .5xx in sector 2.

I noticed this "turn 1 start of replay" only when i rewinded it back to begin, as it never comes back to the line. The initial start of replay is as it should be for me.

Mine would not go back to the line at all, not even at the start. It's ok, I just beat that time...

Took me four days ,500 km and countless restarts to beat my best time from Monday.

Lucky bastard. Took me 6.

15.613
10.723

And only 4 thousands slower at the line than a bugged replay from Tuesday. Time submitted.

A very fun WRS week. Challenging and frustrating, but just had to keep coming back again and again. 👍

I am just wondering... what's the time difference when driving with steeringwheel/pedal setup vs. the dualshock in a quest like this, has perhaps somebody tried that? Will be giving it a go again for tonight, was thinking about juggling with the tc during the lap, noticed that I "need it" at some points, but that it is holding me back in the right hander sweeping chicane.

My personal experience as an ex hardcore DS4 user up until GT sport. The wheel shaves about 2 seconds off a moderate length lap but it will be less here however, what you'll gain with wheel and pedal is a lot more control with brake and accelerator that will help enormously with this particular TT. That all said we have some exceptional DS users in the WRS who prove everything I said to be wrong every time they participate

Any amount of TC is hurting you with this one 👍

Regrettably having to submit with times from the leaderboard.
My living room TV packed up and I tryed on a 14” one from the bedroom, just couldn’t adjust or even get close to my fastest lap, shame as I was really enjoying it before hand and was still probably .1 left in last sector.
Good luck to all still persisting on!

Slower splits but a good gain at the line

Slightly slower splits, but .1s gain at the line + the replay is fine now

This might be the lap for me, don't know if I'm gonna have the time to do another run.

 

[oldguy58]

The definition of insanity, to keep doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result each time.

Turn 1 is going to haunt me even when this is over.

15.722

Gave away a bit in sector 2 but better at the line.

I think it depends on the driver, I'm still a good bit faster with the DS4 after owning a wheel for ~1 month. The thing with this combo is the oversteer is extremely predictable, and the car doesn't "snap" fast enough in most cases where the oversteer can't be corrected. GR3 cars are a different story, I'm utter crap with those

 

[monoha]

Second session, almost same splits.

I'm almost sure my optimal time is from impossible sector two, where I crash around the split. But should be able to find .1 or .2

15.681
10.732

Still TC 2 :/

Found the 0.1 after 250 km total and 3 sessions, but sector 3 kept getting worse and worse for me, which was quite unmotivating.

15.581
10.571

Submitted.

EDIT: Nevermind, my replay starts at the finish line (and not with the previous lap last turn), so will have to submit with my previous best lap :/

EDIT2: Nevermind again, all my three replays does this. Did we get a clear ruling that the replay has to show the previous last turn? Else I got nothing to submit, and I doubt a new lap would fix the replay issue.

If your replay actually shows your car at the start/finish line when it begins that's fine. Also make sure that it shows your full lap time 👍

Phew, that was a releaf! Thanks, yes, it luckily shows the time. Also we should note that it only shows the start of the finish line at the very begining of watching, but if you rewind, it doesn't go that far back.

You're good, best lap replay always should start at the S/F line. In some cases unfortunately starts in turn 1, or in the middle of the straight to the turn 1.

We just need a full lap...extra is good but not necessary, glad you can use that one

 

[Argon]

The dodgy replay strikes again! Reverting back to my last best and complete replay save and now probably done with this one.

Submitting with these so I don't forget, Good luck everyone

 

[ollie57]

Taken me loads of laps.. to knock off .0xx to reach my target.. coming out of the hairpin.. has been my nemesis.. but boy hasn't it been fun.. Have seen faster splits.. but no worries..

I find this happens with a lot of replays. Not all of them, but many of them.

 

[Argon]

I find this happens with a lot of replays. Not all of them, but many of them.

I think it happens because the preceding lap is considered dirty by the game. Not 100% sure but in my case I know that was true of at least one replay I had to ditch

[Renrag39]

Got within .06 but no closer. 50 odd laps and no improvement, only frustration. Just getting narked now so off to Suzuka I go!

 

[BigDawg_1281]

I think this is probably the best I am going to do...

15.632
10.723

I shaved a good 3 tenths off at the line.
I don't know if I will try anymore on this one. It was frustrating at times, that dang turn 1 is tough to get back on the throttle. I had a lot of fun with it and enjoyed the challenge. Looking forward to next weeks

Still working on it. Had to throw out my best as it was too close to dirty...

 

[JamCar0ne]

slight improvement

I'm done with this combo! Satisfied and moving on to McLaren at Suzuka

Urgh, really terrible in these kinds of trials...
