Fell free to post all information, "hints", etc. here EXCEPT: Ride, Venue & Total Lap Time! Leaderboards ("Sans" actual times) will be maintained for all three classes.

In light of what's happening in the Southern Part of the USA I'd like to dedicate this Stage to our Good Friends & fellow racers bleurabbit7 & Kent. You're in our thoughts guys!

Most of all...Remember to Have phun! 👍...O.G. :D

Excellent!! My target-time setter is back.
 
ANNOUNCEMENT!!!​

PLEASE use the "Save" Icon, third from the left to record your best Laps! (On MY TV it has a Pinkish/Red Arrow heading INTO it!) It's the one immediatly to the right of the Video Camera Icon. This will record your run "TO" the line as well & preclude anyone being accused of having had a "Rolling Start." Many THANX...O.G :D
 
I've decided I absolutely hate my 'S' car. I can't find a fast line around here to save my life.

T1 S: 43.998

On the other hand, my 'R' car is brilliant around these tight corners. I can't believe the fun I'm having with this thing.

T1 R: 39.426

I'm still taking 0.5 second chunks off both cars' times. I'll run some more laps when work eases up in a few days.

*NOTE - to line my car up at the start of a lap I'm creeping forward in bumper-cam mode and stopping as soon as the start/finish chequered area has just disappeared off the bottom of the screen.

Sounds like you're cutting it awfully close! :eek: Make sure the "Clock" isn't starting before YOU start! I drive "Bumber Cam" as well & I can still see about 1/4 of the final square when I'm stopped!

After four stages I've finally learned something...to get on the top of either Leaderboard...no matter for how short a period of time...you must submit EARLY!!! :lol: After 1/2 hour in each ride:

"S" Class = 42.806
"R" Class = 38.428

& YES! I realize I chose yet ANOTHER Venue with only ONE T-Time, but NOT untill just now! :irked: ...O.G. :D

On my first lap out I tested it to see how close I could get. If I roll back enough to see just the edge of the start line I can get about 1/2 a car length faster to turn 1 than my posted times.

KOOL! 👍 Sounds like maybe I need to get a little closer! :irked: I tried to line up using the "Roof-Cam" as well but kept setting off the clock before I was ready! :grumpy: ...O.G. :D
 
Wow. This is phun, phun, phun 👍 👍 👍 Fantastic choice of track, Bob. My 'S' car feels like a rocket around here. Haven't tried 'R' yet ...

'S'
T1: 41.8

I took it easy on the second to last corner, I'd already thrown away a number of run there. If you time the turn in *perfectly*, you can make that second to last corner without braking, and minimal sliding ... but it's a crap shoot.

Anyway, now I'll just sit back and wait for Todd to come and clobber 'S' class :D

EDIT:

I'm also pulling up so the checkers are entirely out of view in bumper cam mode 👍 It not to difficult to do without setting off the clock.

Me too! THANX to "sombody's" post! 👍 Works quite well.! Now if I could just best my "O" Class time ! :irked: Took off a "Ton" in 15 minutes and am currently 0.001 Seconds "Over" a certain second barrier! :eek: Have been as much as 0.3xx ahead at the T marker but blow it in the final sector! :banghead: Oh well, maybe next session :indiff: ...O.G. :D
 
Ran for a little bit in 'R' ... getting a good lap was much easier having already learned where I was going in 'S'. I thought 'R' would be tougher, but the car is actually easeir to drive, and easier to keep the backend in line :confused:

'R'
T1: 37.630

Lost 0.100-0.200 at the last of the 90-degree turns after T1 (the sharp one), but other than that I'm pretty happy so far :)
 
Ran another 5 laps of each.

S: 42.871

R: 38.420

About another second to come off each.
 
Thanks for choosing this track.
It was high time to know this one better.
Considering the fact that I had to delete 4 of my fastest replays due to wall touches while I swear that they were all clean.

Phock,I had planned all three cars today and ended only with a S time

T-44.285

This race format is great, 👍
 
Kent is BACK!!!​

I just chatted with him & everyone is just Fine! 👍 He'll be posting the entire story later in the Thread Jordan started for him.

WELCOME back Bud! :cheers: ...O.G. :D
 
After a good showing at this weeks WRS, I think it's time to take that bad a$$ O-Class ride out of the pits and give it a good thrashing!:D

Will have a time tomorrow to post, if I manage a clean run.

Laters 👍

P.S. Glad to see Kent is alive and well.
 
Great to have you back, Kent. :)


Found some time to race the R-Class. Never raced here before and it shows. :D

39.005

Also hope to get an O-class time in before deadline. :scared:
 
Welcome back Kent! :cheers: :D

I took my Class S car out for a spin

T1 42.985


Edit: Class R added

T1 39.279
 
This is by far the best suited track for the O-Brigade in my opinion. It just feels right. :D

T1: 0'36.945 (Seen a second faster)

Looking forward to tonight, where I can get a few more runs in. 👍
 
Brings out old phaithful (O ride) and dusts off the R ride for one last time.

Edit back with my ephorts, Probably 1 of 2 sessions at this combo. May run again tommorow.

Here i come Luke!

Edit R class
37.614 (Seen 37.4xx)

Plus possible .3 or so left in T2, but i doubt i can get it all AND not hit a wall :indiff: :nervous: :sick:

So thats a possible .5 left, i have a time .2 faster but it was dirty :(.

Edit2

BOB HAS LOST HIS MARBLES!!
O class is Absolutely INSANE!!!
My 1st clean run and im very happy with it!, i dont phink i can do another run on the limit and stay off the walls!, Some sections i barely have enough room to phit, let alone going outside, apex, outside!!.

Never the less here is my 'T' Time.

34.903

Both times PM'ed to you Bob :D
 
Very sneaky bob ... I see you at the top of the 'S' leaderboard ;) :lol: Nice work 👍

What's all this then??? i'll see if I can put a stop to this if possible! Maybe not, as I have not had one bit of spare time to devote to this yet.:indiff: I'll turn in some piece of crap run if I have too however.:lol:
 
I haven't run on any of these at all with BC and licence battles and WRS along with other things distracting me also :indiff:

I will try and run a couple tonight for the final round ... if I dont get some time in then my congrats to you all for some great racing over the past 5 weeks :)

Cheers Bob for some sweet combo's 👍

Laters
