Post Replays for Constructive Criticism

[cpp214]

Yeah, I wouldn't mind to get a capture card and put some of mine on youtube. But not sure whether that'll ever happen.

Thought you were going to bed Carl.

I couldn't resist, had to have one more look around and see what else was going on

GTPlanet is very addictive It's like Crack

Green with Envy. I havent come across anyone in the last month that runs below 2 16 consistently. Some hit 2 15 with a draft, like me, but no 2 14's I have heard of (without a draft)

I can name a couple that hit 2.15s in an RX8 on R1s with no draft.... and to my knowledge the Clio is lighter and faster... So I think hitting 2.15s in an RX8 might be more impressive... Or not?

1. 2:15:462 GTP_EBK2 Div 1 Bronze
2. 2:15:661 GTP_Hyperspeed Div 1 Silver
3. 2:15:6xx GTP_Chris not official qualified
4. 2:15:8xx GTP_JackStanley Div 1 Bronze
5. 2:15:8xx GTRP_RudiRaser not official qualified

GTP_Hugo was also in the 2.15s, but he's not on the list for some reason...

I don't think I am qualified to offer any criticism on these laps

Maybe holl01, MAY, or Mad would have something to offer.

Thanks so much for posting these times Timppaq. This is basically a free driving clinic you are putting on in these laps, amazing.

Incredible laps, unbelievable times my friend 👍

I will download these and watch in amazement later

apparently I'm too stupit do view any of the zips.
My evaluation of Winzip doesn't seem to get the job done.

ur not alone... but what we are supposed to do is save the file ... put it on a zip drive and then upload them to our own ps3... not a direct video

Enough about suzuka 550pp, What about HSR 650pp? how many guys break into the 1 08's? I have faster cars, but going fast isnt the funnest, so I use the 111R tuned. I run high 1 09's consistently, but more importantly I win alot with my 300hp setup on Sport tires, ask XTR guys. Its a lot of fun, and a big challenge taming little beast.

 

[Mad94d]

I haven't raced 650pp yet. Probably won't either, i'm not a big fan of HSR. But I am a big fan of the 111r/tuned. I love that car.

 

[EERS4YEARS]

HSR is a crap race, but in NTSC thats the only place to get more than 3 people in a race. I usually start to fall asleep on lap 7 or 8. I personally think, along with most others, this crop of races SUCK. Im ready for Grand Valley Speeway and Deep Forrest!

ooooh, I can't wait for some online races at Grand Valley. Such a sweet track, I wish it was real 👍

 

[TN2004S4]

Yeah, I was in the 17's and then immediately did a 2'14.500 in the clio with the TZT tune. But I changed it to R2/R1 tyre combination. I can post a replay if you guys want.

my best ever was r1s front and back and i've only managed to pull 2'15'8**. Need to try your set up. with the r2s/r1s combo. I'll bet that should shave close to a second through the esses. The amount of HP that you loose won't make up for the times that you will gain. Especially when there are two hard corners at the end right before the finish.

I didn't see the gains that he saw. I'm not even sure if I have saw any gains at all, although I do like the gearing of the TZT tune, the suspension didn't work for my driving style.

what i had meant was that you would go through the esses at a much higher speed, since you have more grip in the front now that you have r2s instead of r1s. It was only a theory:idea:. Personally I have not test it yet, but I will this evening.

Well your theory is correct 👍 The cornering speeds through the esses is a fair bit faster with the r2 on front. Although the car will be a bit slower in acceleration (due to extra weight), by putting a stickier tire on the front, the corner exit speeds increase a bit which offsets the slightly worse acceleration you get from the lower power/weight ratio. I might add that a R2/R1 set-up is the only combo that will allow you to get into the 13's. R1/R1 is probably about a .5 second off that ultimate pace.

Btw, I saw your message on PSN a while...sorry I never responded bro You didn't screw up our race one bit though 👍 See ya on the track

 

[EERS4YEARS]

After a couple races with Solarr on r2/r1 I feel comfortable saying Im consistent at 2 16, with my best time in lower part of 2 15's. still no 2 14's!! I would really like to see your guys best lap, I feel like a slug around the hairpin. My suspension setup doesnt seem to make a hill of beans on lap times, just comfortable or not. My best time's setup I swore was crap, lol. Anyways Im happy where Im at, me and Solarr win everyrace 'round these parts, Forget you Your-a-peein's and the desert down under boys, lol. Im itching for a High pp world comp. Perhaps we should all nut down to the std physics so we can bang doors. Any takers and Im sure Ill scrounge up some a couple rough necks, or some other ignorant Americans, lol.

Here is the story

Me and my teammates are running the same car and car setup, except they are running 56.1 in T1 while my best many times is just a 56.6

Here is a video of a 56.6 T1 from me, let me know what im doing wrong

Hey Earth,

I'm only running 56.8's so I don't know if I even have a right to critique your replay or not but here goes:

For what it's worth, the only couple of things I can see is that your entry to the final S (the righthander before Dunlop) is a little too narrow maybe?
I could hear a lot of wheelspin/tire screech on that one. I guess you want to enter the final S a little wider so your exit into Dunlop is a little straighter, thus carrying more speed into Dunlop and up the hill. Also, I can't see your gauges, but I think you also want to keep your foot on the gas, ever so slightly through the exit of that final S, gradually increasing throttle as you unwind into Dunlop.

Secondly, I don't know what kind of gearbox your running, but as you climb out of Dunlop, I hear you shifting into 4th a little early, at least it seems that way to me. I know with the F40's gearing (the one's I am using anyway) you don't gain that much speed by shifting at the redline, but I think maybe it would help if you held it in 3rd just a smidge longer on the climb up to Degner 1--holding it in 3rd longer will make use of that extra little bit of torque on the hill-climb.

Finally, I guess Degner 1 could be tidied up a little. I may be way off base here, and again, it will depend on your gearing, but I usually do a quick downshift into 3rd as I turn in to Degner 1 (while still keeping at least partial throttle) as it seems the car is more stable doing it that way, and it gives me a tighter line/better set up to enter/exit Degner 2. Also, it doesn't seem like it scrubs off that much speed either (as opposed to keeping it in 4th).

Take this advice with a grain of salt Earth. I may or may not know what I am talking about. Bounce these ideas off CWR/Lin/Timeattack/Drama-kyd and see what they think. They're a lot better than me around Suz. 👍

EDIT: looking at your replay again, I'm wondering whether or not you should try and take the exit of Degner 2 in 3rd? I guess you would lose too much torque by keeping it in 3rd? But, if not, if there's a way you can take it in 3rd without losing too much torque, that would be the way to go for the run to the hairpin.
It might not necessarily give you a 56.1 T1, but it would give you a few hundredths on the run to the hairpin.

Hey Earth,

I'm only running 56.8's so I don't know if I even have a right to critique your replay or not but here goes:

Also, I can't see your gauges, but I think you also want to keep your foot on the gas, ever so slightly through the exit of that final S, gradually increasing throttle as you unwind into Dunlop.

This is good advice. Upon further review I can see I turned into the corner too early so I have to stay off the throttle forever. It is tricky to try and get a wide angle into this corner because if you try and turn the front of the car's nose too quickly you will slide the tires.

Secondly, I don't know what kind of gearbox your running, but as you climb out of Dunlop, I hear you shifting into 4th a little early, at least it seems that way to me. I know with the F40's gearing (the one's I am using anyway) you don't gain that much speed by shifting at the redline, but I think maybe it would help if you held it in 3rd just a smidge longer on the climb up to Degner 1--holding it in 3rd longer will make use of that extra little bit of torque on the hill-climb.

With the gear ratios I'm running shifting around 6900 RPM seems to produce the best results. I've tried shifting later in the exact spot but it seems the car starts to run out of torque/turbo boost rather quickly.

Finally, I guess Degner 1 could be tidied up a little. I may be way off base here, and again, it will depend on your gearing, but I usually do a quick downshift into 3rd as I turn in to Degner 1 (while still keeping at least partial throttle) as it seems the car is more stable doing it that way, and it gives me a tighter line/better set up to enter/exit Degner 2. Also, it doesn't seem like it scrubs off that much speed either (as opposed to keeping it in 4th).

The reason why I don't shift down into 3rd is that I can't really lol, or its really hard to do so. Making Degner 1 is very tough, I don't know if I can try switching gears while cornering. But I will try.

Degner 2 is easier then Degner 1 because it is slower and has more rumble strips, so I down shift going into that corner. I use to not shift there as well until I realized it was costing me too much time. The F40 has alot of low RPM torque but keeping it in 3rd through Degner 2 was too much.

Take this advice with a grain of salt Earth. I may or may not know what I am talking about. Bounce these ideas off CWR/Lin/Timeattack/Drama-kyd and see what they think. They're a lot better than me around Suz. 👍

You brought up some good points, and probably the most important one, my line going into the long right hander before dunlop.

EDIT: looking at your replay again, I'm wondering whether or not you should try and take the exit of Degner 2 in 3rd? I guess you would lose too much torque by keeping it in 3rd?

It might not necessarily give you a 56.1 T1, but it would give you a few hundredths on the run to the hairpin.

Just now saw this edit. As I mentioned above taking this corner in 3rd is easier but you seem to get a much better pull out of this corner in 2nd gear, at least with my gear ratios.
