My fastest lap was a

1.42.262

I'm sure some of the faster guys will be able to go sub 1.40. I don't really like this track anyway, i was just bored this morning lol.

now down to a 1.41.287

I believe we have to do a full 7 lap race, am I right?

bugger, o well. I was right, a sub 1.40 is possible, i managed a 1.39.870, go me.

Take it as good practice :)

Big Ham now try with medium tyres :lol:

Good Time Though on a 250 - there are some that struggle to get sub 40's on the 1000's

managed a 1'40.8xx with my first "clean" race. somehow using an old controller was making the thumbsticks on/off switches so if i tryed to brake hard the rear lifted :|

[edit - tryed a different form and down to a 1'39.975 fastest lap. you faster guys will most likely be doing 1'41 first laps and high 37-low 38's ;) ]

Big Ham now try with medium tyres :lol:

Good Time Though on a 250 - there are some that struggle to get sub 40's on the 1000's

lol that was on medium tyres, i didn't change any of the settings i was too lazy lol.:lol:

ill have a go tonight. see what i can put up.

nice time big ham. funny thing is, the 250 has a power/weight ratio close to the 600 rms'. but its lighter, handles better, and is about as quick as the 1000's...someone remind me yet again why we went to 4-strokes...

ello all :) my fastest race so far includes a first lap of 1:41.067 and a best lap of 1:39.190

Fastest Lap of 1:39:187 Pipped ya :lol:

Fastest Race Includes 3 sub 40 laps with the above one being the fastest :D

TEAM HAZARD SETS THE EARLY PACE

so far...11.42's with a fast lap of 1.38.

i notice that the random stoppies have popped back up...but only gong into the first corner, and going into the last corner...this has ruined many a great time.

good evening all :D my new best time has a first lap of 1:40.854 and a best lap of 1:38.446, the rest are 39's

i notice that the random stoppies have popped back up...

I haven't been getting any of those :eh:

Try being careful with the forwards/backwards shift on the control stick.

ive not expernced random stoppies, but, it seems like the rear brake has no grip here going into the series of corners that leads to the sector 2 mark and the last corner. and when the rear steps out, the bike understeers right off the track.

I haven't been getting any of those :eh:

Try being careful with the forwards/backwards shift on the control stick.


yeah, i know what causes it, just that sometimes it seems worse on certain bikes than others. probably because this bike is really light.

just out of curiosity, how come no one is posting up total times? some kind of strategic plan?? ;)

Hey guys, I just ran a 11'34.432. This is my final entry as I'll be out of town for the rest of the week. I had some issues trying to upload the replay.

It just gave me a bunch of error messages :shifty:

I'll try again when I get back. Good luck all.

I just did a fill run and my second lap was a 1:39.189, with a total time of 11:52.206. Which means I suck. Badly.

I'm not dealing with the tyre wear very well as both tyres are tomato red by lap 5. In practice I had a nicely balanced chassis that would turn-in and put the power down nicely but I think my settings aren't kind to the hoops over a longer distance. Either that or it could be the punisment I give them under brakes - my front was worn out before the rear!!!

:eek: what compound are you using, rwa?

probably mediums since softs didnt last three laps for me. heh.

the medium lasted me for the whole seven laps, i dont know what color they were, i use the simple display mode. i was able to get a soft to last about 5 and a half laps, but then you could really tell, it was just gone. i thought about a medium front, soft rear combo...works well after the first lap, but for the first lap, the bike understeers horribly.

i'm on mediums, and they're in good nick all race long. could rwa's style and set up reallly effect tyre wear so much?

just as well mine last well, i'm lousy on worn tyres :D

if we had as many tyre compound options as we have in gt, imo medium softs might just last enough for this race

i'll be hitting the track soon, see you all there :)

damn you all,:P i have to work til 5. i wish i had as much time for this series as i did for the first one. ive only done 4 races so far, and im about 10-12 seconds off the pace. this really sucks...
i'll be hitting the track soon, see you all there

:eek: what compound are you using, rwa?
Soft/soft. If I ran med's I'd have no hope of hitting low 39's, which is the sort of pace needed to be at the front.

Could rwa's style and set up reallly effect tyre wear so much?

Well, I knocked off a bit of the spring rate (not preload) front and rear and I'm very hard on the brakes up to the turn-in point, especially T1, T8 and T13, where the bike is cranked over on its side.

I'll give the med's a go anyway to see how I perform.

I'll give the med's a go anyway to see how I perform.
by doing so, you'll have the confidence boost of knowing that they'll last till the end in in
good condition, regardless of how much you abuse them :D

my latest time is

1st lap - 1:40.691

best lap - 1:38.341

race - 11:35.660

i had a 1:40 flying lap in that race, caused by pushing too hard and getting a bit ragged

hoping to tidy that up today

This time I did an 11:50.336 as a first go on mediums, but my tyres were still green all the way to the finish :?

Now I'm losing two seconds a lap over the whole distance, my best being a 40.2.

More play with the suspension I think.

11:40.178 now, with a fastest lap of 1:39.098 - on my last lap when I thought I was choking :eek:

And I played a lot with the settings. Made it real soft...

Edit: Tried again, couldn't improve, but I did pop a 1:38.888 fastest lap. The thing is, I don't think I'll be able to keep that kind of pace for 7 laps, plus the MotoGP is on now so I'll give it another go before work tomorrow.

leaderboard up ... please remember your rider number and team name. theres no replay uploaded atm either :|

I'll Try Later For That Elusive 11:34:xxx :lol:

Tried to upload but receiving errors on TTBikeSim can someone submit it for me please :)

11.30.8, but its not clean, i jumped a little more than the curb on the chicane before the last turn...fast lap was a 1.37.890. im getting there, but consistancy is a bitch. the bike's behavior changes almost every lap, as the tyres wear in/out.

ran out of time, so it's 11:35.660 for me :) replay attached, i couldn't get it to upload to the proper place :?

That'll be it for me. I can't lose 5 seconds.

Congrats to the winners :)

Backmarker Racing

Got under 12'00.000 for 7 laps in Practice mode, but couldn't find the Set-Up Sweet Spot in Race mode.

i know its past time, but my modem took a crap last night, sometime between 7 and 11pm. my time is 11.35.534. i would like to be able to submit my time still, but i understand if i cant.

i almost had spire's pace, but just couldnt hold it for seven laps, great job man!

STOP PRESS - TEAM HAZARD STATEMENT :

After a long meeting on MSN it was decided by TEAM HAZARD to allow Callaghan to include his time but with the stipulation that Spire agrees to this ruling :P

All Comments just Post below :lol:

Congratulations To Spire on his first win of the season ;)

ill leave it up to the peers ...

I'll allow it.

It's fine by me, even though I can't comprehend such low times.

thanks you guys. in the future ill post up a little earlier to prevent this.

for some reason though, i cant post up any new replays...and from the looks of it, other cant as well.

Yeah seems there's a problem with replays at present :(

Just wondering where Stormryders hiding ?

Has he crashed and burned :P - Another Gibernau ? :lol:

Do we have technical problems? I just tried uploading a replay and it all went swimmingly. :?

Ill try Again Dom - Update to follow ;)

This Is The Error or errors :( Hope This Helps

Error uploading file.

thats pretty much the same error i get, except some numbers are different.

callaghan - it doesnt seem like anyone has any problems with it ... have you updated the results yet?

Celtic you're dead right, there is a bug there. Actually 'was a bug there' would make more sense, cause now it's fixed. :)

I don't know how it happened but a certain directory was missing for the TZ 250 replays, so I've created one and tested an upload and it worked fine. If anyone has a similar problem in the future please PM me and I'll get it sorted straight away.

ill have a go tonight. see what i can put up.

Um.....obviously 4-stroke being more reliable and longer lasting.
2-stroke struggles to get pass euro3 emission test.

:lol:

i hope you're saying this just for fun
