listen lucky....don't try so hard because that's when it does seem impossible. Here's a suggestion if you haven't done so already... stiffen the car almost all the way, damper bound 4s and rebound 8s, give it some camber, a bit of rear toe(+), whack the lsd's on full, use auto gear ratios 24 and lenghten the final a bit, turn off the ASM and TCS completely and wind down the VCD to 10%. Have a go mate and just remember not to get too wound up about it. YOU CAN DO IT!! (ever see the Waterboy?)

Thanks coach

Things is - I have done all that except the damper bound and rebound and the LSD ... so I guess I'll go back and try playing around with that a bit then.

I'm not missing out - I'm just like Yoong in this round ;)

[Earthling]

I dont think i can do any more....ive been chasing my ghost for almost an hour trying to beat my new 1:24.847 best. :

[iconic]

great time ozf1 and Silent Bob, i guess you guys win.. i was sick all day yesterday (the post above was my brother) so i didn't have any time to try a better time.. today well i might have the urge to play, maybe not..

we didn't stuff around with suspension, well i just changed the gears to auto 28, and brakes to 22/22. everything else was stock.. i guess if i kept playing and did some suspension setup i would get a better time.. but next time ;)

with gear ratios 28 i get around 335/6 at the front straight before the right hander

It closes 23:59:59 CET (Centerel Europien Time) Sunday. On the calendar page and on the post time page you can find a time indicater telling you what time it is now (CET).

Currently its 22:28 so 25½ hours to go

I will try to add a countdown also

[TT6]

I've just awarded me a cold bottle of beer because I just got myself in the 24's.
And not just barely:

1:24.417

0,8 secs improvement and 0,5 in the first corner after the chicane.
I might get a load more

[Moanaman]

1:25.103

Split times from logger 14.947, 43.879, 1:03.961.

keep dumping it over the rise in the tunnel just after the last check point If I can hook that up im in the low 24's

[HardRock]

My last time for this round 1.25.228 :
Looks ugly, I know.
I didn't have much time to play.

[ozf1]

1:23.236

Split times 1st 14.973, 2nd 43.192, 3rd 1:03.432

Thats about the best i can do. In theory i think i can go another 2/10ths faster because my best
ever 1st sector is 14.7 and best at the 2nd sector is 42.9 but i doubt i could bring it all together in one lap

I wouldnt have thought it was possible to do that time a couple of days ago, but then i discovered
that changing your own gears really is heaps quicker than Auto once you get the hang of it. Took my a while to adapt cause ive always driven in auto mode but i now owe a couple of people an apology cause they told me it was faster and i didnt believe them.

[ozf1]

JBonnier, Hardrock,

I've PM'd you my setup in case its any use to you.

[int2str]

I think it should be a rule that the winner of every round has to open up their setup to the public...

Cheers,
Andre

[mclarensmps]

whats the point int2str, thats half the championship right there... and thats the beauty of the game too!

I hope you're not saying that all the great times you did in the previous championship were all done in auto mode...

[iconic]

i got a 1.23.978 with the suspension modifications suggested here and vcd and lcd off. there is more but i'm not sure if i will have time to achieve that

edit: i forgot to say that i forgot to save the ghost and i dont save the game...

[LuckyStrike1]

Me need set-ups

i knew you were sandbagging!!

i've officially finished racing for this round. i got a 1.23.596 without hitting the wall. hitting the wall for me it saves 2 tenths, maybe im not hitting it properly anyway that time was with the suspension setup minus lsd and vcd (makes the car for me to have less understeer)

so congratulations to whoever beats Talk Is Cheap Racing during the night!

[Garagiste]

1.25.569
Chasing tenths and cursing, and half a second turns up. Ta for the setup tips JDR, with a hybrid version, I'm getting there. May be back...

Yup, i'd never driven manual before because i felt i could control the steering and braking better with auto (less to do with my fingers). I think i've got the hang of it now though. I'm not sure if it will always be quicker but it certainly was this round.

[Superbar]

New time: 1:24.487

Don't know if I have the time to improve... friends and family are calling. Maybe later.

Hey, Ferrari boy! How are things going? Any improvements? You haven't posted any times at the site.

update: It really is faster going manual! New time: 1:23.951

[Ferrari Boy]

1.25.119.........my times are very inconsistent but i am working on it How long does the round go for????

(hoping to be able to set a faster time with a LOT more practice)

PS. Where do i get a password for posting on the site???

[LuckyStrike1]

password=username

[Garagiste]

1:25.363
There's a 24 in me somewhere...

[Superbar]

As lucky said. Go to "change password" and enter your user in both fields and enter a new password for yourself.

The round ends at midnight CET, so you've got a few hours yet.

btw. Good to see that you've found some speed.

Thanks OZF1, next time I need it a little bit erlier.
One of my bigest problem besides my driving, is that I don't like to spend time trying
different setups, and I don't know which way to go, so if you can help me there I'd appreciated.

[JDeRosa]

well I'm glad I had a quick check on the BB today before having another go. I tried some of you suggestions and it work well. I switched to auto 28 with longer 4th, 5th, and 6th gears and used manual gears and I found a second!! update - 1:23.785. I might have another go.
G, if you're still trying, try the auto 28 as it definitely helps straight away.

[Xig]

I'm going for the last set of runs... I think I can get a 1.1 sec improvement...

at what time the competition ends?

Auto for me. Interesting to see what everyone else prefers. Auto or Manual?

[Viktor]

My race is over for now No points this time. But I go straigth to the next race I need to test the cars for next week in the right envirement, but as you see it does not help my times

Chrissy Boy: I have deleted your time, I guess that it was not real and if I had not deleted it it woth meen that your team woth be last in the team race

I driver auto.

[bigbrickz]

1:23.975 just squeezing between superbar and moanaman.

It's a tight fight for first place team between Roadkill Racing and Talk is Cheap Racing, we have a tenth of a second in hand so far: TT6 we meet again

I think that's all for me this round. And a well enjoyable round it was too.

[bigbrickz]

Originally posted by Moanaman

I can't drive in auto at all any more, always manual. Assuming that Chrissy Boy hasn't been using auto as well I'd assume that ozf1 switching to manual will make the fight for first place much tighter this season.

[LuckyStrike1]

Auto - not that it seems to matter much what I drive ...;)

[Chrissy Boy]

Auto no no, normal driving for me. Auto is not mutch slower, but I like to rev the engine...
But there is mutch more to gain in gear setup....

[Superbar]

last minute effort: 1:23.399

but too late I guess....

I set the time before the deadline, but I didn't manage to post it in time.

[Viktor]

I so want to add that time but I cant, its closed
But I will add Ferrari Boys time. Anyone else missed to submit there time to the webpage please PM or mail me NOW! Also please try to post the time on the webpage in the future .

Roadkill Racing gives you full permission to add that time!!!

It means we tie for 1st with Talk is Cheap Racing!!!

Edit - Sould learn to read competition rules!!!

Congrats team!

[Superbar]

It's OK, I understand.

Maybe if I had left my computer on...

[iconic]

yeah!! congratulations team!! nice 2nd placing!!!

hey zppd, you can always pm TT6 and i for setup or track tips, though i probably wont have any setup tips hehe

[iconic]

about auto/manual, i prefer manual, sometimes it auto shifts down too much and makes the car go out of control, like for the hairpin leading onto the back straight i like to slide it into 4th but if i did auto it would go 3rd and i'll spin out of control..

i am so proud of ourselves!! 2nd!!!

[TT6]

Great work, iconic!

By the way, I drove my fastest lap with my old full digital psx-pad. It's easier to stick pedal to the metal when the acceleraton button is not pressure sensitive.

[TripTonic]

Manual all the way

[Xig]

yesterday I lost my connection to the Internet..
I improved over a second: 1:23:701 but couldn't post it... It would be a great improvement for Roadkill Racing...
See you next Round

Since Gran Turismo, I've always used manual L1 shift down, R1 shift up , steering with left analog and breaking and throtle with right analog...

Manual lets you control better the way the car handles in turns, using it properly helps to counter understeer or oversteer. well that's my opinion...

[Ferrari Boy]

thanks for adding my time, next time it will be on the website. Sorry i have not checked back here as often as i could. Work has been real heavy this week
