Nice work indeed.
At first I thought that you had done = submitted all 8 best times. But no, you gathered the replays.
I guess that next step is to practice and beat them ?
 
The replay I was most impressed by was Edmar's time with the Viper at Laguna Seca.
 
Bloody hell. It's when you realise that these aren't perfect laps that you realise how good these guys are. They could have gone faster...

Plus the laps are great fun simply to watch. They make me grin senselessly. It seems that spectacular *is* fast, at least in the case of the S6 and S2.
 
Thanks for the comments 👍 I can see my bandwidth hitting new heights this month...

:D
 
Is anyone else having trouble with the S1 file?

I have d/l it 3 times and each file won't play past 44-52%.
Three other files, so far, are OK.

Cheers,

It works fine for me. Are you right clicking and saving the target?
 
Yes, that is how I aquired all of them, so far.

My point is why do multiple d/ls of this one not work when three other test movies have no problem?

Cheers,

S1, S6, S7 & S8 all stop (on my computer) before when each movie is supposed finish.
The others play to the normal ending.

If anyone can help me solve this problem, I'd appreciate your time.
 
They were taking too long to download, so I gave up. The averarge download speed was 7kb per sec, and I usually get 160kb.
 
I now have all 8 videos working properly. I redownloaded the troublesome ones with a download program and that fixed all problems. The files created by right-clicking were the ones that failed.

Live and learn.
 
OK, the download speed is back to normal and I was able to see the Cote run. I did a side by side comparison to the video, the computer on the right side of my screen, and my Cote run on the left side. I notice his car accelerates a lot quicker then mine. Why? The first right turn, up the steep grade, he gets there quicker, and the run just started. Then, up the hill, he gets to the top about 3 to 4 tenths of a second quicker than I do, and I fly through that first right turn faster than he does. Let me explain.

I did a comparison of not only the entire run, but at certain points of the run. The tunnel, the long steep straight,, the first right turn, etc and he is slower going through the turns then I am, but when he hits the straights, he blows me away. How is that? Fast turn exit, means faster down a straight, doesn't it? This is very odd. The biggest place to notice something odd happening is at the tunnel. Starting from the fountain, just before the tunnel, and at the tunnel entrance, I can beat him, but once he hits the tunnel, he leaves me in the dust.

Odd as it seems, I cannot forget that running the same test over, and over again, the tires on your vehicle seem to get better grip with each pass. Maybe he ran the test so many times, that his tires completely out perform my tires.

Well, anyway, he is very good. but something does seem very odd.

You do realise that the video is in kmh, whilst you'll be in mph.

No. That'll be you getting better at it the more you do it. The car is identical each time you start.

There is nothing odd with it. It's a great lap.

I disagree with you, something is making you car go quicker the closer you get to the gold, or if your time is quicker than your previous run. Other people have noticed this too, one being kideng, but he hasn't been here in over a year so it's kind of hard to ask him.

Like I said before, he is a great player and that was a pretty good run.
 
Maybe you are just getting faster entry but slower exits to the corners? Monaco Tunnel has a big exit speed corner just before it.
 
Hey I just started manual shifting for the first time. I'm at the license test S-6, and it's bloody amazing. Just working on the first sector, with auto my best time was 20.384 after many tries, my only time in the 20.3s. With manual I'm getting loads of 20.3s, the best being a 20.312 that should have been a 20.2, but I forgot to shift up to 4th gear after turn 2 :dunce:

I'm totally a newb to manual shifting but after half an hour it already makes me go faster in sector 1 of Laguna Seca license test!
 
Did a couple hours on S-6 today, using manual for the first time. Got a best of 20.201 in sector 1 and best of 36.701 in sector 2. Not really paying much attention to the rest of the lap yet, I'm still learning how to drive manual.
