Welcome to the GTPLMS
Round 3: Bridgestone Streets of New York
Round 3
Track: New York REV - 2.59 miles (4.17km)
Length: 4 Lap Sprint-Race Qualifying - 10.38 miles (16.69km)
Deadline: May 27th @ 6p CST (GMT -6)
GTPLMS comes to New York for the 3rd round of the season. New York boasts one of the fastest straights on circuit, and also one of the most technical sections as well, making it a true test for drivers and crew chiefs. Up the long stretch of Broadway, on Central Park South, through a very tight series of 90 degree corners toward 7th Avenue, and then a hairpin through Times Square, drivers get a glimpse of everything Downtown New York has to offer. But don't get caught staring at the sights, the walls here are as unforgiving as a cabbie with no tip.

I gave about an hour on this combo, started (cause I haven't touched GT4 in MONTHS) with tcs at 350..meh....did okay, also found out what kind of light contact is allowed with the 10 sec. penalty. I then nutted up and did no tcs, which is always 'fun' with high rumble strips. AHHHH....much better, took it to 340 and kept it in 3rd all around for the turns, sweet as hell, the last turn had to 3/4 throttle for a bit, then into 4th. That gearing worked out best cause I just started to top out at the end of the front stretch entering turn 1, so no loss in time (or it feels that way). I met my goal for this race pretty easily, I found I can draft the 5th place car exiting the carousel entering T1, pass him on that sharp right (little contact) then the 4th place on the sharp right FOLLOWING the double rights and 3rd place car as I exit the last turn and then draft the 1st place car as I cross the finish for a very fast lap 2. Then its smooth sailing for a quick 3 laps remaining. If I have more time I'll race again, but I am taking my A+ cert class, so I only get a couple hours a week. Laters all!
Yeah, the canyons of NYC make for some unbelievable crashes.
