What are your other sectors? Maybe I can try to help you figure out where you might not be taking the optimum racing line?

T1: 0`24.671
T2: 0`45.496
T3: 1`10.260

Is my fastest so far.
 
updating...

T1 o,24.4
T2 o,45.3
T3 1,o9.7

obviously i´m losing a lotta time at the damn hairpin :ouch:
i hope the next combo will be as good as this one is :)

You mean http://www.jgtc.net/index_en.htm...?

In 2003 there were 3 rounds at Fuji, according to the site. The difference between the slowest "best" qualifying lap and the quickest over all three events is 0.7s... The quickest time posted for this car at the track at GT.de is three SECONDS quicker.
 
Cosmic, the next race starts Monday 12pm GMT.

I haven´t ran this thingo for a while, but I´ll give a last try tomorrow.

See ya soon!!!!
 
T3 - 1:09.365 so far (DS2/PAL)

I'll give it another try to shave 0.3 sec, I can't go any faster than this.

Btw, benvingut psychedelic, per fí un de Barcelona! :D
 
Hmm, I had a lap with a 1´10.1 T3 but I forgot to save the replay :banghead:

I know I can get there in to the 1´09-zone, I just need more time on the track..

Ok, by getting that first corner pretty well, you can drop close to .4 immediately. I usually stay as left as possible on the straight and then almost immediately after the gear selection starts flashing ( 2nd gear ), I brake and downshift to 3rd where I try not to go below 90 KmH. The first corner has abit of a late apex, so you don't want to turn in too soon. If you get it right, you should be near the racing line ( you can see the racing line on the tarmac )throughout the two right corners. I usually start accelerating full throttle when I hit the apex on the first corner. Any sooner and the car will go too wide and cause you to brake or lift off. Then just try to keep a smooth line to T1. If you do this right, you should be able to average T1's in the 24.3 range. If you get everything absolutely spot on, even 24.0 T1 is possible. So just by working on that first sector can get you under the 1'10s 👍

The second sector looks good, although I'm wondering if your exit speed from the hairpin is good as you are losing some more time in third sector. For the right/left turns before T3, I use the same braking method as above ( wait for gear selection to flash, and brake ) but unlike the first corner, I try to turn in abit earlier than the apex of that curve would actually suggest. This is important to set yourself up good for the following left as this curve will carry all your speed to the finish line. So turning in slightly earlier gets me in a better position to take the left curve ( All done in 3rd gear ). In comparison, hitting the apex at the right corner throws you slightly off the ideal line for the left corner, so you have to re-adjust abit and it tends to be tricky most of the time with the change of direction and braking at the same time.

I hope this helps, good luck :)

Not a lot better but I made it into the 1`09's. I'll see if I can go faster with your tips.

, I've reached my first goal too, the other one is 0.3 quicker, I promise don't go faster than that, cause simply I can't.

Btw, nice tips you have posted T13R, just to add my two cents of euro, if someone upshift at exactly 7000 rpm his time will improve significantly.
Btw2, nice to see your here too Prancing Horse.

Thank you, I was hoping I made sense in what I said, because when I usually try to help people I tend to confuse more than anything :dunce:

I know I said I wouldn't put any more runs in, but when I got back from work today I didn't feel like studying, so I had a nice relaxing GT4:P session :) Time I will submit will look like this:

T1: 24.125
T2: 44.648
T3: 1'09.128 ( should have been quicker considering the T2 :( )

And overall I beat my previous 1'09.144 by almost 1 tenth!
See you all at the finish line!
 
I have Submitted this:

24.275
45.630
1'10.028

I have not could reach 1'09'xxx :guilty:

See you in the gravel :scared:
 
Just sent in my time.

T1 - 24.257
T2 - 45.012
T3 - 1:09.498

If anyone is interested, I used a GT Force Wheel, MT and no TCS or assists.
 
Race is over...looks like I didn't do too well with all those 1:09's :dunce:

I didn't realise the car went faster without the driving aids on...doh...
should have practiced more without them.

Anyway guys I'll be ready for you next time :)

Where are you posting the results Cosworth...here? or are u creating a points thread?
