    Re: Hot Lap Challenge Week 12 Series Week 5

    Kadera:
    IMO should be 2 variants:
    -full simulation (10% weeks): all assists off, MT, line off
    -free for fun (90% weeks)


    ummm, last time i checked most cars nowadays are made with ABS TCS and STM, im fine with no tcs and stm but i havent got the pressure down so that i can run wihtout abs yet
    P.S. i use a controller

    i think these challenges should be run with tyres and fuel off .it never dawned on me till recently that the reason for faster times was boring yourself into running the fuel down till your car is lighter to get a better time.i personally run one stint between 5 an ten laps then im done.

    i have no time to run forever and a day



    Just to put peoples mind at ease, this is not the case Geodoors.  Your tyre wear exceeds the benefit of less fuel/weight on Laguna, not sure about other tracks. May help with longer straights etc....  I never run more than 8 laps before restarting.

    odbr, it's an e-mail address. Send in an e-mail, with your GT, Forum Name, car you want and which tournament you won it in ( Hotlap Challenge Week 11- Series week 4 ). Also put that in the heading.

    Since the car's are sent out on Monday's you won't get it until next Monday now.

    No, not that. A few weeks ago I emailed Turn 10 asking them what car I would like to recieve, come Tuesday it hadn't arrived, pm'd Landin, he kindly sent it within minutes.

    Finally a lap I can be proud of.  1:38.211 and I lost .101 in the corkscrew while leaving .150 on the track in the first segment.  If I put in another 200 laps I can probably get into the 37's, but my hands hurt right now after the 80 or so I just did.  Time for a break.

    it may not be the case for yourself potzy but personally i have found that the more the fuel goes down the quicker you can run laps .

    my fastest lap on laguna came 2 laps before i had to pit in multiplayer s class

    Re: Hot Lap Challenge Week 12 Series Week 5

    Hi guys,

    This is the first hotlap challenge I've tried, and boy i'm a finding it difficult!

    I can only seem to manage a 1.41.8.

    Any pointers? I'm driving with no assists. How much is this killing my time?

    Most people are only running ABS on this, so try running it again with ABS on :)

    Assists probably aren't killing your time all that much, unless you either are locking your tires a lot or not braking strong enough and leaving time on the track. The rest is just going to be you, the nut behind the wheel. Watch your replays and look at your lines. See if you could have gone stronger through those turns...

    Re: Hot Lap Challenge Week 12 Series Week 5

    I'll try to give a quick indication of my Apex speeds.

    Turn 1/2 (the first hairpin) I don't really pay attention to.  It's all about where you brake going into it and I try to brake just before the 2 sign.

    Turn 3 (right hander) I try to keep it at 70, but generally dip to about 68/69 but I'm always on the gas about 1/3rd of the way through the turn.

    Turn 4 (another sweeping right) is a throttle lift and if you nail it you can apex it at 86 while full on acceleration down the next straight.

    Turn 5 (the hardest turn in this car an uphill left) this turn is challenging.  I brake and dive for the corner usually about 73mph with a smooth acceleration necessary.  On a good lap I pass the end of the rumble strip at 84mph.

    Turn 6 (sweeping uphill left) this is a gentle throttle lift and dive hard into the corner.  You shouldn't drop below 87 while keeping it around 90 is a perfect turn (this is the 2nd most challenging turn).  You should hit the time check at 94mph on a good turn and 92 on an average turn.

    Turn 7 (corkscrew)  I brake at the 3 sign and pretty much come as close as I can on both parts of the turn to getting penalty time without getting it.

    Turn 8 (sweeping left)  You need to be smooth here to get as much speed from the following short straight.  I don't pay much attention to speed only to being smooth and reducing tire noise.

    Turn 9 (hard right) I treat this as a brake/gas combo turn.  I gently brake to slow down while hitting the apex at about 80 trying to accelerate onto the next short straight.

    Turn 10 (hard left last turn) I brake just past the line on the track (and I mean just barely) and try to hit the apex of the turn with full acceleration out just barely touching the rumble on the outside at about 52-56 mph crossing the finish line at 94/95 mph.

    I'm about .9 slower than Potzy, but those idas might help

    Thanks for posting that mate, the speeds will be a good indicator as to where I am with my time.

    Re: Hot Lap Challenge Week 12 Series Week 5

    Just to clarify regarding the Gift Cars.  I will always try to send them out Monday, however due to the DLC Video I was unable to do so this week.  I gifted the cars yesterday, and have filtered through all my e-mails so hopefully everyone has been accounted for.

    Re: Hot Lap Challenge Week 12 Series Week 5

    I red line the crap out of this car.  I come out of turn 1/2 in 2nd gear.  3rd gear for 3,4,5,6 (and do NOT shift into 4th going into the corkscrew).  2nd gear out of the corkscrew and 2nd gear out of the final turn.  Everything else 3rd gear and I only hit 4th on the front straight.

    if anyone wants to send me a game invite I don't mind doing a couple laps online so that you have a replay to watch.

    Re: Hot Lap Challenge Week 12 Series Week 5

    I think we'll have to talk about having 1 week off 1 week on 1 week off for hte holiday or a couple of weeks off it's hard to say exactly.  This week's HLC will be a DLC promo and definitely an off week but I'll have to discuss the finer details with landin about season 2.
