Gary, you wanna come out to the Time Trials this season? I need this sorta pressure to improve my driving in real life! :lol:

Are your time trials at a track or is it autocross with cones?

Both, we do a high-speed autocross style event at Lovelock, as well as track trials at RFR.

GarySheehan 2006-02-07 11:05 PM

Nice. I haven't tried again since 6:30pm and I'm done for the night. Looks like you got this one. :)

VICTORY! :lol:

...I guess I can stop turning laps then, eh? (*looks around nervously for bemani*)

Gary, since I picked this challenge, I can't pick the next... it's your call, pick a track and a car!

sperry 2006-02-07 11:14 PM

Oh, and Gary... hang on to the replay of your 0.679 lap, I want to compare it to my 0.679 lap and see how similar they are.

Your car at your home track... :lol:

I'm in, but Infineon was the 1st challenge, others may complain... and becareful about switching it to Laguna Seca... that's my "home" track :devil: (though I've only driven it once in real life, I've been racing sims there since Papyrus' IndyCar Racing).

GarySheehan 2006-02-07 11:30 PM

You know what, since I'm late in the game here, let the next person choose. Bemani? If I win the next one I'll choose.

Out of curiosity... what's your current Miata @ Infineon fast lap?

sperry 2006-02-07 11:34 PM

Oh, and here's the in-car from my .603 lap... it just finished uploading:

Okay, if Gary doesn't want to choose, we can take the Miata 1800 on Seattle normal.

That would be me getting the direct competition in that case. :lol: Too bad you couldn't say the same...

That was cool watching your vid. I saw 3 things we did differently. I downshifted to 3rd in turn 1 where you stayed in 4th. Your line in 5 is a bit tighter than mine and finally, I downshifted to 3rd in the hairpin and you visited 2nd for about a second.

Looks like we're taking turn 6 identically. I think you've got me beat in turn 5 more than I've got you beat in the hairpin. Everything else looks the same.

You DID figure out the trick to that car :) That understeer's not so bad, is it ;)

Hey, we need to update the challenge on page one. And, I think it would be cool to post up the times of the top 3, so it doesn't look like Scott is playing with himself.

Although, everyone on here knows he does...

Oh, I haven't read this whole thread, but I play without driver's aids. Is that a rule, or pretty much what everyone does anyway?

I'll update the first post to indicate Sperry plays with himself ASAP. :lol:

It's never been discussed so unless the "rule maker" says otherwise, they're available. I don't use them either.

I think it's just a preference. I don't like driving with em either.

GarySheehan 2006-02-08 08:43 AM

Just did 11 laps on Seattle with a best of 1:49.078. There is a ton left. Go get it!

You guys are going to hate this car!

Don't feel bad, I couldn't get out of the 1'03's. I only spent an hour. Maybe I can try a little harder this week. I also need to get me steering wheel set up, I suck with the controller.

GarySheehan 2006-02-08 09:07 AM

Cody,

We can give you some tips if you want, to help get you up to speed.

There were definitely some tricks to that last car that made huge time gains.

JonnydaJibba 2006-02-08 09:15 AM

The controller is the biggest factor limiting my lap times. It's hard to hit apex's right, or keep a constant line or even brake consistantly. I never realized it though until comparing it to Scott and the wheel. It's so much more like driving, and way easier to be consistant. Stupid dual shock bs.
