Auto_1,

I suggest that you take youth_cyclers advice and shape up, and I really advise you that you refrain from calling anyone (not only moderators) names.
youth_cycler's actions were correct and justified and I stand behind his decision 100%.
The team of moderators here are well aware of you and you will be watched closely. As you said in another thread, you have many e-mail accounts. That may be true, but you only have one IP.
Do tread lightly Auto_1, especially in my areas. :mischievous:

Thanks,

Boom

Burn Miles
you got the hell spanking....lol

And to Boom......Miles pretty much never means anything he says, his profile was just a joke and he retaliated at youth cycler because "Miles is never wrong"....lol (were friends)

And boom i wont be able to compete this time due to time restrictions.

I am going to the Motor Show tomorrow and have to prepare a speech as well....so sorry.
 
Well Im back for an update on T2's.

Im putting down 54's almost every time and most importantly, my best lap is on one of these 54's.

However, the best lap was a 54.9 and on every lap I am getting a T1 that is .5 or so ahead of the best lap.

That is basically a good sign to me because it goes to show that I can easily take .5 off my time.

Now Im off to the races to actually do that.

Talk to you again once I have done it...

had alook at my replay and its at 55.5
...i still have some work to do i see
 
tried some racing today, just couldnt get into it, i think i burned myself out w/ that FTO race..haha. Ive got monday off so we'll see how i feel about it then. I think the best clean lap save ive got right now has a t2 of 55.7, bleh.....Man, i noticed no ones been posting up any settings or anything except for lotus. Is everyone holdin back this time? How about some tips...i can never take that first chicane w/out bouncing off a wall or slowing down too much. Whats the best way to approach that one so you can take it smoothly?
 
Hmmmm, just realized that I was using T5 tires. I was struggling there for a bit. Now I'm back on the right set of tires and I'm starting to pull T2's of 54.

I'll keep ya posted.

Settings I'm currently using:

5.8/11.8
85/90
5/5
10/10
2.2/1.5
0/0
2/4
15/10
5/20/5
Tranny trick: 3.499 Shortened 6th to 1.125
1.00/1.20
ASM: 0
TCS: 0
 
Hey IDFCA21

That first turn is a nightmare for me as well. What I usually do is try to run through it as straight as possible. Approach from the center of the track, downshift to 5th, back on the gas and upshift back to 6th. This usually keeps my car balanced enough to get right through there.

Hope it helps.
 
Best T2 right now is 56.56... I'm losing time from the start through T1. :mad:
 
Auto_1 ure really going to far uve recieved warnings.. .. u should read the Rules and Guidelines of GTP.. and ure abuseing the right to state ure opinion.. .. like Boom, said u should shape up.

Thanks! I think thats actually what I did on my best lap save ive got. I'll have to look that over and over and study what I did..haha. You cant get on the brakes too much before that turn cuz if you do the rear just gets away from you and you end up w/ a double whammy bouncin off both walls
 
still not strung together that perfect lap yet ..Not been on this one much ..

But Best clean T2 54.4XX but i messed up on the left hander just after T2

I think i may be going in too deep on this one as the rear end seems to come off the ground as im entering the turn thus loosing loads of traction
Or it could be the setup..

But i will definatly post up a time good or bad :)
 
Finally got around to giving this a try and was miles off the pace. Now I'll try it again with the Stage 1 turbo and see if that makes any difference.
 
I am now still working on it and have a 54.5 in my sights.

Im pulling them, but thats worth noting if I cant put it down in a lap.

The lap will come...
 
I've settled for a 54.7. I got a couple of 54.5's but then battered the wall on the right hander at the bottom of the hill.
