Jeez this series has gone fast so far, hasn't it? Well, you know what they say about time flying... :D

THE RACE: Apricot Hill Raceway.

THE RULES:

1. No hybrids
2. No wall riding
3. No shortcuts
4. No cheating
5. Save your replay
6. If possible, upload your replay onto the forums
7. A photo of your time is not required, but can be added if you like.
8. Please, NTCSers, don't use any of the 900hp + monsters
9. Running wide is allowed, but obviously it will slow your time.
10. The rumble strip is considered part of the track.
11. Have fun.
(If you think any more rules should be added here, PM me.)

THE DEADLINE: The dealine for your time to be in is Sunday, midnight, your time (meaning that you can race til 11:59 your local time then give me your time).

Testing will be held on the Free Run version of the course, with the actual race being held in the Hard Single Race mode. You can run the race as many times as you like to get the best time possible.

Testing officially starts now, and will finish on Friday, with racing time being all weekend.

You can discuss all of your intermediate times, but not you're whole lap. You can give generalisations, ie "I got down below 1'20", but not specific lap times.

Go have some good fun! :D
 
Nice, eh? :D

Sorry for getting the results up late, people, but I just got back from my weekend holiday. See the thread in the Rumble Strip for details.
 
Weekend Holiday.... I wish I could have one :banghead: Man, we are down to 6 ppl (including BigJames who couldnt race this week) :(
 
Ive been screwing around with my setup and trying out new race lines, and Ive gotten down to mid 55's. But if I nail all my sector times, it could go down to a low 54, maybe high 53. Only time will tell.

Im back and all tanned as well !! Jeez it was REALLY hot for UK this weekend - I was in sunny Bridlington - Flamborough and Scarborough !!!!

I'll be racing again though this week so a time is definately coming from me !!

Good to see that I was missed ( if I was ?? )
 
Nice to have you back BigJames :) It was a bit weird not to see you on the scoresheet.. so I guess we've missed you :p
 
well thanks for welcoming me back folks !! Its good to be missed

As I said not much time this week to race - Its thursday and I havent even tried the track out yet ! damn !

Ive only got friday night after servicing my real car !! to race and I cant remember the "hill" as being one of my favourites.

As Im back though Ive got a bit of time as I'll definately put a time in but it might not be up to my usual standards ! (not that they are that impressive)
but next week there'll be a lot more time for me to run - and I think I need to win another 001 cos mines limited to the 813 hp and I remember storm saying that the 829 hp car runs a lot better

so we'll see what we can do then !!

but its good to be back
 
I never save my game after using the F094/S ( 001 ) so that I never gain any mileage on it besides the "breaking in" mileage that was necessary. I just save my replays so that I have proof of the time I did, and I save my setup for each track...

Just maybe a thought on how to keep that F1 car running strong for a long time :D Sounds like a Castrol High Mileage commercial :lol:

What you mean ONLY !?!:mad: Being in the mid 55's already classifies you around 16-17th in the world for this track according to gt3times.com. I sort of want to get that low 54 to get ahead of IForceV8 which I know is really fast. Thats my goal :dopey:
 
Ive got no chance this week !!!

Ive not even run the course yet and Ive only got sunday morning, I should be reprimanded for not putting the effort in !!!

I'll run either late tonight or early on sunday !

T13 thats a golf in your avatar right - my mate has just got a red vr6 - Is it yours ???
 
domt think I'll be much of a challenge this week, head cold and a chest infection to boot, will still get a time in though ;)

Welcome back BigJ
 
So I could beat you? AWESOME!! :p

James - just pick er up and shove er round for a coupla 58s or whatever, any time counts!

Jesus H. Christ! So I'm down to a low-53, what would that be? Can't be stuffed checking myself... :dopey:
 
Hehe, a low 53 would prolly get you in front of JMR who has the best time according to gt3times (and way ahead of IForceV8).

Although I am at the wheel in that picture, it isnt mine. Its my older brother's. But we have been tuning it together since he got it back in 95. If you look under the hood however, dont expect to find a VR6....:( There is a tiny little 1.8 liter 8 valve pushing out 90 hp!!! Well it could be a bit more now because of the modified air intake, Remus exhaust and Neuspeed cam. But I figure nothing more than 100 hp.. atleast it might be in the 3 digits :) I really hope to do an engine swap soon. Been thinking about it last year with bros, and we are probably going to prepare to do it next summer. Til then... 0-100 in 12.5 seconds ( or 0-60 mph in 12 seconds ) YAY! :rolleyes:

Im in some deep poo now, am i gonna have find a setup now or what:lol: :lol:

and yes i have read the post below where you corrected yourself
 
I don't know if I'll get a time in this week guys. Been busy plus I broke the only ds2 I have. Good luck.
 
Damn thats gotta suck. Do you have a normal PSX controller? Those are still good for PS2, except it doesnt have that sensitivity thing on the buttons like the ds2. Good Luck indeed
 
well Im not on the results this week - again !!

But its only monday and Im just about to turn on the PS2 for a bit of week 10 action !!!

sorry for my non-entry this week - again !

hope everyone did as well as they'd hoped - looks like storm is quite fast on the "hill" 👍
 
Last night I found a little time to try this out. I didn't want to wuss out so I just ran it with a ds1 about 2 hours before the deadline. Wasn't that bad really, but I'd definately rather use a ds2. I'm no good with the analog so its 100% turning,gas,brake, for me. Kind of funny envisioning race car drivers acting like this.

Couldn't access a computer until now, 7 hours after the deadline, so I'm not sure if my time will be accepted. If not I'll post it in the thread just to compare.

Have to check what the course is this week, I can't remember.
