Great.

Your "title" funny(ish) ;)

Have a good time with the race. I may run a few laps myself if I can fit it in. ;)
bye. :D
 
Hoo boy, good track, and one of my favorite cars. I've only run it stock so I will have to see how it goes all the way up. Sounds like fun and hopefully I'll be able to get in an hour somewhere.
:nervous:
Dammit - why do good things always come along when I'm too busy to really get a crack at them?
:irked:
 
I hope to do this weeks race if I can pull myself away from Eve Online long enough to do a run or two.
 
First session in...about 5 laps.

16.3/45.6/1:01.5

Pretty happy with my setup...just need to start dialing in the line ;)
 
Forgot how much of a grunty b!tch this car was :eek:

16.3 / 46.1 /1.01.7
very sloppy lap, loads of room for improvement!
 
Oh and btw..I'm pretty sure the time for this combo over at racing line is a fake :irked:
 
2.5s ahead of timeee - I'd say so...

Edit: Closer inspection shows it as a hybrid time as well...

Edit edit: Justice, Racing-Line style... :D
 
Like the car and the track and I'll look forward to seeing how I scrub up. Only bad thing is I think I've done a heap of miles in this car so hp will be down a tiny bit, oh well.
 
Yee hah :D

A great car on a great track, what more coould one ask for?

Goo d choice Kent 👍
 
what is the difference between the No. 91, and the No.51 Viper?
 
Cosmetic only

Lotus: I think that the (ish) should be dropped from your title there :)
 
OK, I've never driven this thing other than stock, and I haven't played GT3 in a month, and I only got 30 minutes in, but a true craftsman never blames his tools, so here's my times:

T1: 16.758"
T2: 46.189"
T3: 1':02.586"

Compliant but sloppy lap, with tenths scattered throughout every turn. The dial-in I had for the stock power isn't quite hacking the 350 extra horses perfectly, but so far I've concentrated on throttle control and consistency.
 
till yesterday this car had 0.0km on the clock and its been i my garage for longer than i care to remember...

its a big car with big noise....and that track is is big too...

i will dedicate time to this and get myself off of last place...i loved the first 10 laps....

T1 17.102 :D
 
:O boy is my face red. i started this and thought for some reason it was at laguna seca so i do my first lap and i noticed that i was just SLIGHTLY ahead of the fastest T3 time (5 seconds) so i knew something was fishy but anyway this is what ive gotten so far

T1: 16.213
T2: 45.895
T3: 1:01.499
 
I was practising this very circuit/car combo just last week... I was competing all my FR cars against each other. All I can say is that the Viper came a pretty poor second to the Denso Sard Supra (as usual), but I'm hoping that a few tweaks here and there will bring it up to speed... some of these splits are scary though. So far after about 5 laps, T3 = 1.02:100....
 
Whoa very grunty beast, this should be fun.
So far ive only managed
T1 16.263
T2 47.026
T3 103.033

my car had 0 miles when i started this so im still waiting for the extre hp to kick in, plus a couple of corners are giving me grief, just have to keep plugging away at it.

P.S if any of you guys are getting t3 1.00 times without tcs, then you are gods imo lol
 
ok....so I don't find this car as offensive as I once did...and Grand Valley, while I love the circuit, takes alot of work to get a fast lap. Takes alot out of you...

16.858 / 47.160 / 1'03.485

I'm getting there, but to be honest I am loving my Mini race more this week. Driving this car has made me realize I prefer road cars over race cars and dig rally cars too. 1000hp+ race cars ain't my cup of tea.

Still this is a pleasent enough combo.
 
This car is a son of a gun and I'm finding it hard to get a set-up I'm happy with. I got my best time without TCS then I tried experimenting with it to try and get the car to stick better and get a better lap but it screwed me up. I tried to compensate for it but in the end I couldn't stand the TCS and now my settup is fairly screwed. Hopefully I will improve on my time when I gget a good settup again.

16.464/46.784/1'02.835

Also I have got a T1 of 16.208 but I screwed up the rest of the lap.
 
got my t3 down to 1'02.9xx
i know where i can pick up some time and after i tweak my set up i think i'll be doin high 1'00.xx . hopefully lol
