Ha! Love the car, been dying to run it in a weekly. Used to utterly loath Seattle but now I am at peace with it. This will be fun. At least it isn't a damn arcade car.

BTW - It is going to be hard to keep 2 wheels, let alone ANy wheels, on the track on that downhill section at the end....you spend more time flying on it than on the road, especially in the light little elise.

 

[Nelsy]

yay! I was just waiting for last week to finish so i can continue racing. i hope to run with the pack...
Good Luck Everybody

Hopefully one of the veterans here will confirm this, but I'm sure wheels leaving the track is fine if it's caused by jumping; which will obviously happen at Seattle.

This will be interesting. I'm OK at Seattle, but haven't yet grown to love Seattle II. Oh well, better get to it I suppose. After the kicking I took last week I sure need the practice!!!

 

[RSCosworth]

I don´t like the car much, but I love the track. I´ll give it a try!

 

[oxygenuk]

ill give this a try even tho seattle reversed and lotus aint really in my best of books

GoKents has the final word but I would say fly fly fly high. It is next to impossible to keep the car on the ground down those 3 steps, the only way is to take them slow which knowing GoKent's and his like of speed I doubt he is intending....

This means on or directly above a legal part of the track.

so no backflips with the car? DAMN!

 

[daan]

Backflips are ok, as long as the wheels are still above the track. Backflips over the barrier are not allowed!

 

[Kent]

Yeah fellas, I will edit the rules later, but the down hill jumps are perfectly fine to catch air on.

Have fun with air lotus!

Later.

can the lotus be tuned to go 3000mph and do double backflips? Doing backflips is wha tis cool about GT3.....

 

[RSCosworth]

Ok, I´m gonna get racing, so see you on the track!

 

[rayd_uk]

That certainly is one very badly behaved car!!!
This week is going to be interesting.

 

[Nelsy]

got my first clean splits after 10 laps... hope i'm up to the pace of this race...?

T1 = 19.8
T2 = 1'00.4

lets see how much catching up i gotta do...

if anyone can give me tips on car setup please do..

 

[Jpec07]

I think this'll make a good week for me to get back into the running...

 

[The Missing Link]

No times from me this week...
1 - I HATE this car
2 - Exams start tomorrow.
OF course though, next week I may be able to run, it is a much less strenuous test week

 

[Talentless]

Slim chance, but would like to know the max hp after break-in.

 

[zer0h]

CFM isn't going to miss this one

 

[Dave A]

I love this car, not my fave track but I will be giving it a go. It will certainly test the cars stability, the drivers car control skills and setting up skills this wekk.

Ok, went and checked...

After 200 miles, all up grades including the na stage 1, the power stats are...

287 hp
2.170 pwr
.229 twr

Remember, the car can have all upgrades except turbos.

Good luck and have fun racers.

btw, I will be back with some t times shortly... finally gonna get a run in after being in the woods for a few days.

 

[Nelsy]

gave it another 30mins, and managed to pull of a better lap...
I saw a 19.0 T1 but lost control over the train tracks.

T1 = 19.1
T2 = 59.5

Changed to gear ratios a bit and it worked, shaved off about .5
Still need a bit off help with basic settings though, this car feels very weird..

I'm determind to get into the 18's for split 1 and the 58's for the second...

 

[NoQuarter]

Fun car, Fun track...👍

First 5 lap session

18.2/58.4

Still leaving a lot out there...should improve as I dial in the lines and get some "break in" milage

 

[HeinrichII]

my best so far is a 18.5/58.5

I believe the 57's are possible..probably the lows too

 

[Bollocks#999]

This should be an interesting one, should have a comp on the side as to who gets the most air...

 

[Hotrod_269]

Hi, This is my first post

My best so far is 18.4 and 58.5. Just need to fine tune the setup a little bit and then try to knock 1/2 a second or so off those times. I definately like racing against people who beat me (finally I found them) lol.

 

[buffalo]

man this car is a pain in the butt.... but i did manage to get some good times so far

t1 19.3
t2 59.7

i think with just a little more tunning i might be able to get another .5 or more out of it

 

[scuderia229]

God I love this car!!!!!!! One of the best in Gt3!

I bought a shiney new red one tonight, put only 31 miles on it (needs some tuning and a breakin)

18.917 / 59.5

Oh ya this car rules!

Well 18.3 for the first sector now, still heaps of room for improvement there (have had a 17.8 ) , but T2 is looking good at 57.4 I reckon a high 56 is possible for T2.
