Yeah I've noticed that too on my laptop. The links take you to the right location, but the op pictures are switched.

I just finished up P2 last night and I added the front aero and though for sure I'll hit a 1.26 (I was stuck in the 1'27's), but instead I ran a 1:25.879. I expect for qualifying to hit low 1'26's tho! 👍

Trickiest part of this race will be to figure out which is quicker the 3 stop or 4 stopper?
If this race is longer than 62 laps, I'm going with the 4 stopper'

Sorry guys, been working since last saturday and still a few days to go, working like almost 60 hours this week so haven't had much time to get on. Ran this track a lil in testing and low to mid 125s are pretty decent for 300s, I'm betting pole time could be in the 124s.

500 cars should be running in the mid 1.21 range. pole could be a low 121 or a 120 possibly.

Race will be 64 Laps

 

[SkengD]

At 64 laps wow thats gonna be a long one , i am worried for the 300 guys , they might not make it to 60 laps

 

[DragonGT83]

yup this is one of our 1.5 hour team endurance races so they are another half hour long then our normal races are like suzuka was, should be a blast. 300s are not too far off here compared to other tracks from the 500s, should be interesting to see if we go more then 3 laps down to the 500s.

That puts the big question mark over pit strategy? I know the 12 lap pit window digs into the 15 lap window, but out of a race to 25 laps the 15 lapper was 9 seconds quicker, but I'm not sure if it will get dug into the plus side, so I'm going to have to simulate two 60 lap races to determine the winner.

I'm not here so I may aswell give an early benchmark lol.

 

[Bennen13]

You know, it's funny because I never worry about pit strategy. I find that in GT5 you should just pit whenever you're tires are done

But a simple adjustment to your tune can affect wear by quite a bit. I fell victim to that in daytona.

1:26.0xx for me in P1. suzuka setup. laguna sure is pretty greasy.

If anyone wants to come practice with me, I got a room up. Might practice TCCS too

When I get back to my apartment after class I'll get the official Q table post up and running. Thanks for the patience.

 

[tensor120]

Gahh this is gonna suck trying not to spin everytime at the corkscrew

 

[ZachAK47]

On the way down just lift ever so slightly for that little bump and you don't spin

 

[phil bell]

Difficult to push hard here, but when it goes right wow. And pit strategy is gonna be a biatch.

Gahh this is gonna suck trying not to spin everytime at the corkscrew

I actually short shift there just before the kink on exit.

Patience? Only one guy has qualified. You're too hard on yourself lol.

Is there any room in this championship?

Definitely! 👍

Stems from trying to make everything perfect. Just the way I am. Reason I am where I am in my real life too

I wouldn't want anything less then perfectionism from a doctor.

 

[tensor120]

Zack n Phil, everytime tho at the bottom of the corkscrew, if im too inside when going right, the car will get yanked around. And then at the bottom of the hill, just before the kink, the car gets loose no matter what gear Im in.

I dont like the physics of this track in the game at all

 

[SkengD]

This is one of the better tracks in the game where you actually feel the track , i will be online tomorrow and probably qualify tomorrow if possible .

Join me and i will try to help you out , give you a few tips.

Raise that rear ride height up some more from whereever you have it and you can also lower the front to help with snappy loose issues. Works pretty well in the NSX.

What I do is take the outside on exit. The elevation change on inside is too great in such short distance. You'd have better luck driving off a cliff. I'll be very surprised if I see anyone taking inside line at full speed....

 

[SkengD]

Thats right the outside line is the way to go

 

[XxShaggxX]

Most of the time I feel the closer to the inside of the top of the hill you take it, the better approach you can take on exit. If you over brake into the corkscrew your going to be stuck at a very bad angle on exit and be stuck on that terrible elevation change. Easy in, hard out.
