Dogconker Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 ok here's my first proper lap in an A Class Scoob, the legacy I was using yesterday in the races. I couldn't be bothered to do the whole lap before the hot lap so I just went up the track a bit for a run up, hence the J-turn into the existence at the start 8:48.947, I reckon there's a bit more in there but having done that lap I'm off for a lie down and a stiff drink, clean laps are extremely stressful Forgot to say, replay is on my storefront for anyone interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogconker Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Not having a fastest hot lap drives me nuts, and i'll keep going an going until I either cry into my beer or beat it. usually the the beer gets it. Not that I'm in any way competitive , on that note just like to point out I was driving a 24yr old car :D I am going to beat 9 mins in the transit though at some point! I'll post it if I do.

BlackBosh Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 may have to reinstall disc 2 and get all my dlc back on my hard drive now, this game is creeping back into my life, I can imagine how that clean lap felt i may do a dirty one in the scoob to see how much time difference it makes, though tbf that 8:50something was a bit chilled as I was concentrating more on keeping the tyres on the black stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 you'd better beat that 8.50 you did, i'm creeping up in the Transit, managed a 8.55 or something last night :D trouble is its sooooo frustrating to get nearly all the way through lap and then put a wheel loose on one of the last corners. Worryingly my XBOX looks like its on its last legs, as it keeps freezing up on some games, fortunately not Forza so I should be ok in the races, but it looks like I'm going to have to get another at some point, was hoping not to just yet, wanted to get an XBOX ONE, but now need to get a XBOX360 so the wife can play her games too and I can play GTA. oh well, guess I'll have to wait a bit longer for an XBOXONE :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Pete Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Unless a dirty lap counts I got no hope of setting a reasonable time. Maybe if I did it at 40mph all the way I could do a clean lap I'll still give it a bash, Is this transit shareable then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBosh Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Will have another crack may set a quick lap not worrying about being dirty without cutting corners to see what i can realistically aim for, and have my heart rate monitor going as well just for !Removed!

Dogconker Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 @stanton, the transit was just for the crack, someone said I could probably lap quicker in a transit, got me thinking so made an A Class transit. Could do a standard transit see what that turns out, I know that its around 11 mins to get a standard transit around though. If you want to try the A class V8 transit I can put it up only share list. I reckon should just allow dirty laps, there's not much time you can gain, if any but cutting corners. Maybe use standard cars which will Slow it down a bit make it a little less stressful. Perhaps use the impreza hatch for a Change? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Right after waking up at silly o'clock this morning and mulling over this track for the League event you reckon damage off for this track as it wouldn't be any fun smashed up on the side of the track waiting ?

stants Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Well if we all drive like gents there should be no need haha ! Pete if you send over a spec sheet of your car i'll have a look see why with that much bhp your being left on the straights. Didn't leave handbrake on ? :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Pete send me the set up when you get chance I will load it on to my hatch and have a look :) does seem strange you was struggling on the straights with the BHP you was pushing more than me in both set ups I had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno, part of me thinks thats just part of the game, on the other hand (having sat 3 laps of Le Mans) I can see where you're coming from. however, with my realist head on, I'm thinking the rules are the rules, even though I know that could be me sat for 20 mins. so I don't think we should turn off the damage, maybe just limited damage?

Scooby Pete Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Fully upgraded Transit with the Falcon V8. Class S636. no tuning, 2nd lap in it on the ring. I was clean upto the corkscrew, got spat out and lost the back end which gave me a dirty lap :( then a bit later where you hit that massive bump just before the right hand bend and it sent me wide on to the grass, the rest of the lap was clean and I got a 9:13.228. That van is a beast, if one side of the back goes light under power you'll be facing the other way if your not quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Just had a quick look mate it's not a bad set up to be fair I'd say I lose most of the torque out of the corners that was making my ghost car on Laguna Seca looks faster on the straights as it pulled away. So looking at it might need just a tweak to try keep most of that power through the corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Sent it back had a play around I didn't beat my fastest time on Laguna but was dam close and knocked nearly a full second off the time when driving with your setup. But I do think a lot is down to driving style so might suit my style more than yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
