I've ditched the lotus, found something faster, much faster

Ooooh do tell!

There's some nice times coming up for Challenge 2 already, starting to think I just got very lucky with my suspension setup on the Louts giving me a competitive edge.

 

Stu, would you be ok with sharing your setup for the Elise? I'm curious to see if your setup is significantly different from mine.

 

What? Give away the secrets? Try emailing Adrian Newey for his plans for the new RBR F1 car!

 

Will post up after work.

I had asked Adrian for some pointers on the setup, got a rather rude response back about being quite busy... the cheek!

I think that Suzuka time on page 1 is mine, but it's going be slow so you can leave it there

I should hope so, I've not even tried the Zed challenges yet, there's time to be found with that sodding Elise yet!

Silverstone 2:12.662

There's more time to be found but I just can't keep it all together, which is frustrating and makes my times even slower. The vicious cycle! haha!

Having just realised that equipping NOS doesn't actually raise the cars PP I suppose the question should be asked.... are you guys using it?

I have to say that after spending loads of time on GT5, I lost interest in GT6 really quickly, not even half way through trying to complete it but this challenge has got my interest back in again, having said that I'm still miles away from putting up a half respectful time, are you guys on on wheels/pedals as opposed to the pad as wonder if this makes a big difference in my lack of ability.

SuperStu's using a Controller and I'm using Driving Force GT Wheel and there's hardly anything in our times. I'm sure Stu is some kind of Robot though as I couldn't get anywhere near my times with a controller!

Well,I am a country mile away from the times you guys are getting

 

Keep at it, I'm 12 seconds faster at Silverstone now than when this started. It's unbelievable how much a few tweaks here and there in the suspension makes.

 

 

Shall we add another track to keep you guys who have too much time on your hands busy?

 

P1 updated

Are we including oil change etc on the 350Z tracks or completely stock?

Will be interesting to see the times we get when tuning isn't a factor.

You're not making this easy Stu!!

 

I think I'm done with these three, there's nothing in there for me now except frustration and more fist shaped holes in my bathroom door. Silverstone has more, but the lap is so long there's too many places to lose it on the ragged edge with the time available being in sector 1.

 

I'm dreading when we get round to Nurburgring in the Suzuki Wagon R

There's some fine tuning to be done on Silverstone so probably got some time there, whether it's two seconds though, won't know till tomorrow! I find it a lot easier than Brands Hatch, I just can't get a rhythm on that track, drop one wheel off and that's the whole lap ruined.

'Ring I'd be happy with haha! Wagon R... maybe not so much!

You're not making this easy Stu!!

So sick of Brands Hatch!

Tonight's Times;

Silverstone: 2:13.250

Brands Hatch 1:31.628

Goodwood 0:49.495

It's so annoying sitting here at work and seeing these times tumble knowing it's going to be hours before I can get back on GT!

I'd certainly be up for something like that

Nice times there Stu, think you mixed up mine and Longsh07's for Goodwood though!

 

You can leave it like that if you want

Nice times there Stu, think you mixed up mine and Longsh07's for Goodwood though!

Will try and have a go at Silverstone this evening, see if I can better your time!

Brands Hatch 1:32.619 and an irrational hatred of this infernal track!

Goodwood 0:49.724

2 more tenths for me to find eh Stu? Challenge accepted

Cheers Stu, took me ages to get a clean lap where everything came together.

The Maggots - Becketts - Chapel section was the hardest to get right.

Here we go,

Brands Hatch 1:32.888

Silverstone 2:14.835

Goodwood 0:51.379

Lotus Elise 111R

Switched to the 111R for Silverstone and Goodwood

Silverstone 2:14.835

Goodwood 0:51.379

Driving Force GT Wheel is my weapon of choice

Not sure about the other guys but I had driving line on for the first few laps to work on my entry points, all others off and ABS set to 1.

Not quite, I used the 2011 Elise, starts with 388PP and I tuned it to 450PP, it's still got more weight and a bit less power than the 111R, but it's got the flat underfloor which really helps stability through high speed corners I find.
