phil bottle 9,563 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I like Willow Springs a lot, it's very fast and if you fuck up, see you later, because you're going for a trip in the sand.1:19.872I missed AC last week as I've been all over ACC but I'll do a time for that too!Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk Greboth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaGarratt 10,867 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Thanks @Greboth, when you get them over I'll try and find time to do something with them 👍 I missed last week's so i'll try and get some laps in on both this week.

Greboth 2,705 Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 Thought I'd hop on last night and smash out a few laps and get a decent time but I struggled at this track. Usually I can get up to speed in about 5-7 laps before then refining my lap and knocking off a tenth here, a tenth there. I think by lap 10 I was still in the 1:20's round here but I think lap 15 or 16 I got it down to a 1;18.555 using the M4. I saved the lap so I can capture it if people want to see it to help them out 🙂 I haven't managed to get on AC this week but hoping tonight or tomorrow to put a time on the board.

Greboth 2,705 Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 So with some sore arms later as that Cobra is a beast! I got some times set on AC McLaren: 2:12.662 Cobra: 2:39.939 The McLaren I properly pushed though I didn't do too many laps so there's probably some time in it still. The Cobra, there's easily more time in it but I'm enjoying driving it in full h shifter mode so I'll take being slower for the more fun 😄 phil bottle and GazzaGarratt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greboth 2,705 Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 Another week, another combo 🙂 I'm wondering would people prefer if these were for 2 weeks instead of only 1? Round 4 GT Car: N500 Track: Circuit de Sainte-Croix - A AC Car 1: Ferrari 458 GT2 Car 2: McLaren P1 Track: Magione It's going to be an interesting one this round as rather unusually, I don't know either track. I've driven Sainte-Croix before but watching a video of a lap, I don't remember it and don't think I've ever done a lap of Magione.

Need to go and learn it again as it rarely comes up in the daily races, if ever 👍 I don't know Magione at all so that's also a nice challenge. I'm happy with weekly but maybe if others are struggling then I'm easy.. GazzaGarratt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greboth 2,705 Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 Bloody hell Phil, didn’t take you long to put some laps in. I will be doing aome laps later myself. GazzaGarratt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greboth 2,705 Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 Quickly smashed out 5 laps and got a 3:17.617. My best would be a 17.158 so I think a 16 is probably possible given a few more laps. phil bottle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greboth 2,705 Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 I was using the Mazda Gr3 road car (or whatever it's called) as it's the only FR car I have. I've got a couple MR cars which I want to try but I'll be leaving you with the porsche as I don't get on with them. phil bottle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've driven Sainte-Croix before but watching a video of a lap, I don't remember it and don't think I've ever done a lap of Magione. I would prefer 2 weeks so it gives me time to get used to the car and track and then some serious laps. I apologise for my lack of contribution so far it's been a hectic couple of weeks and I am only just scraping in a little game time here and there. I hope to get some times in for this week! Keep up the good work guys 🙂 GazzaGarratt, Greboth and phil bottle 3 Twitch : gdub_5252 follow to help me on my road to 50 followers 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greboth 2,705 Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 No worries dude, Phils easy as am I so we can make it 2 weeks. Gives Lee a chance to put some laps in too. This weeks AC combo is a tricky one. 2 fast cars on a really tight and twisty track. Using the Ferrari last night I only got out of 2nd gear on the straights. It’s also tricky as unlike most GT cars it doesn’t have ABS - so so many lock ups for me. G_dub52 and phil bottle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaGarratt 10,867 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Totally with the 2 week cycle. It might mean we struggle to catch you two as you'll be able to put more laps in but it'll give me and George time to at least participate. Hopefully when life calms down abit we can get back to weekly stuff. Here's hoping more should get involved too because at the very least GT Sport is cheap enough and worthwhile picking up if you like any sort of cars/racing.

Greboth 2,705 Posted July 17, 2020 Author Share Posted July 17, 2020 To be honest, with GT Sport I tend to do 5-10 laps at most as I know that'll get me 90%+ to my best time. Over those laps I knock off seconds from my fastest lap but anymore and it becomes diminishing returns of only knocking a tenth off here and there. I could do another 100 laps and knock off a second but even I have my limits of how many laps I'll do in time trial 😄 Well that is until one of you gets close to my time then it's game on! AC is a different story but the skill for AC is higher so takes me more laps to hit that 90% time but even then it's maybe only 20 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ferrari doesn’t and it’s braking zones are huge but it makes up for that in a straight line. 3 hours ago, phil bottle said: I'm confused Doesn’t take much does it 😛 3 hours ago, phil bottle said: Yeah, I think you meant 3:12?
