good time. the tz250 should be stupid fast here, but, i bet the lack of torque makes climbing the hills fun if improperly geared.

i managed a 1'40 with the speed triple rm and a 1'41 with the brutale 910rm. the brutale struggle with the steep uphills though :s

es nes you sly son of a gun - Dated August the 6th i forgot about this until i just visited GTPlanet :lol: You have us at a disadvantage again but then again someones got to check the viability of the bikes i suppose :P

So onto my first lap :

CELTIC #10 Team Hazard MV Agusta Brutale 910RM 1:40:058 ;)

This should be interesting for the championship as i bet Team TTWSO are on the Speed Nipple ...... I Mean Tripple ..... Correction Triple - Ah thats better all this full frontal nonsense it's catching :lol:

See ya titside i mean errr pitside ;)

funny man...funny man. :lol: i am pretty much in the same boat as you celtic. i have almost no time at this track, except maybe when i first got the game, and was checking out different tracks.

so yous guys (team hazard) using the brutale then?

Same as, barely tried this circuit but have started to get the hang of it. Of about the two properly clean laps I've done, a 1:37.399 is my best, though that was pretty damn hairy as well (you should NOT be making that shape when going through the last turn :lol:).

#72, Backmarker Racing, Triumph Speed Triple RM by the way (at least I think me and DJ agreed on that).

diatribes whipping out the big guns already ;)

ello all :) team hazard are on the brutale rm 8O

my best so far is

t1 - 0:37.411
t2 - 1:06.506

lap - 1:38.874 (http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g120/750F-RM/MGPB7.jpg)

Hey guys, good time diatribe! First I just want to say that I've never liked this track from GT4 and even more so now in TT( too narrow and tight). I keep smacking my rider's head on walls (he's probably a vegetable by now).

Team OnEdge Racing #8 is riding the Speed Triple RM with a lap time of
1' 38.005

I might be able to shave a few tenths but I have to wonder if the hours I would spend to do so is really worth it at this track.

TTWSO rider callaghan clocks in at a 1.36.302 on the speed triple rm.

damn this track is addictive. i am definetly enjoying this one.:D

im at a 1'37.1-something ... ill post a full time tomorow after i wake up.

here (http://www.ttbikesim.com/community/single.php/233) is my replay.

a late session last night (i'm off work 8O) got me down to 1:37.368

couldn't tell you how many times i've hit my head on the sides :wall:

sometimes in the run up at the start of the lap :redface: :lol:

damn this track is addictive. i am definetly enjoying this one.:D
Same. Where you run over that red tarmac, hug the wall on the right and go into that very narrow left is quite possibly my favourite turn on the game now. Close though is the last right coming out of all those tight/narrow turns where you have to nail it and go over that little jump while still bearing right :D

Down to a 1:36.734 now, with splits of 37.504 and 1:05.476.

Heck, I give up on this motorcycle thing...

1:36.5 - Subaru Impreza WRC '03

:lol: I'm no expert on the rules and regs here but I think 'bikes only' might be in the small print somewhere. ;)

i think it would be interesting to compare the replays from the cars to the bikes. to see where each is strong, and weak...

running the times down...only a matter of time (no pun intended) before the 35's become consistant...

1:36.5 - Subaru Impreza WRC '03
hehe, nicely done :D

my latest time on two wheels is

t1 - 0:37.167
t2 - 1:05.964

lap - 1:36.680

36.975, 1:05.255, 1:36.065

Gonna have to mess about with my settings a bit more to improve on that.

Usul #8 Team OnEdge Racing, Speed Triple RM 1' 37.346

I changed my riding position, tucked him in a little bit more, to keep his melon attached. I'm having a real problem with the front tucking going through the final turn of the twisties headed onto the back straight. Any suggestions?

Ok my first meaningful time 1:35:928 :D Completely clean but bloody hairy as hell :twisted:

now if i can only nail the first part of the course :lol:

Update :
36:826
1:05:338
1:35:793 :D

I can tell you right now that the rally car has the advantage in the braking zones, whereas the bike has the top speed.

For example, the braking zone after the first hairpin (marked on the map with an arrow) needs to start long before road enters that narrow section, maybe 150 or 200 meters on the bike. This can be a short as 50 meters in the Subaru. I think this is mostly because the road has a slight left-hand turn in it before it becomes tight, and the bike needs to lean over to take it smoothly while the car just barrels thru with slight steering.

Cornering is almost equal but the car can handle the quick, narrow left-right-left-right section a little better.

ello all :) after much tearing out of the hair, i improved twice tonight

firstly a 1:36.186, and then

t1 - 0:36.899
t2 - 1:05.660

lap - 1:35.901

i haven't a clue how much more is left for me, if any at all

new time: 1.35.450

I brought my game to Germany with me to get some laps in at a friends this weekend, only to find out that my NTSC game wouldn't work in his PAL machine. :doh:

Therefore, the only time I have is from a few runs I got in before I left home last week. I figured I'd still post it in case not many people run this week. My apologies to Diatribe for letting the team down. :redface:

On the upside, we got to watch some cool vintage races on the Nordschliefe yesterday!

+ leaderboard.

No worries, sounds like you're having fun over in Germany :)

My final time is 1:35.941, happy I've finally got into the 35's though that doesn't move me up at all. Guessing Es Nes has something up his sleeve which'll push me down a bit, plus Manters will probably post a last minute 1.35:3 or something..

ello all :) my final entry for this weeks round is: t1 - 0:36.643, t2 - 1:04.817, lap - 1:35.728. here's the replay (http://www.ttbikesim.com/community/single.php/235)

that was hard work :eek: roll on the (relatively) wide open spaces of amalfi :lol:

posting this in advance...just picked up a virus on my computer, and it randomly disables my computer...will try tonight to upload a better time...

Final Strange Frustrating :wall: :pray: :twisted: :headbang: Time

Finally nailed the last section but was around a second down on T1

Try and work this out

37:421 - My best t1 was a 36:4xx
1:05:004 - Better
1:35:114 Final Time :D Anyone Beats That Bloody Deserves It :lol:

Anyone Beat 30:110 For the Final Sector :D

Guessing Es Nes has something up his sleeve which'll push me down a bit

not likely, every time i get a 1'05 i nail the brakes only to have none :(

1'36.389 but i still feel a country mile off pace and really frustraited and the back counter-active bike adittude.

1'35.723 just nipping 750F-RM off the podium ... had a close moment but when i watched the replay it it shows that i missed the wall by a good inch :lol:

the best spilts ive had was a 36.7/1'04.x but messed up going back up hill :(

theres a 1'34 in it, i can feel it but i need to get through all the stupid stuff that keeps randomly happening. for instance, i fell off the bike while i wasnt on the side walk or landing from the one jump, i land fine and get the bike straight up and the bike shoots to the right like someone reached onto the track pushed me into the right wall. i low side before i get half way accross the track.

:wall: :wall: :wall: :wall:

yeah, im workin on a 34 right now. i did a 33.8 with hitting the wall once. but that was damn near a perfect lap.

back to the game.

so far, t1 - 36.901, t2 - 1.04.699, t3 - 1.34.409. the final split...29.710. :D

total time: 1.34.409

es nes, youll get it, just have the patience, and the back uphill has got the time...it will make or break your lap...

how are you taking the final hairpin? the bike just stops steering about half way through.

i run up in second...actually, here (http://www.ttbikesim.com/community/single.php/237) is my replay.

i trail brake for a while, but half way through the turn tightens up a lot. at that point i slow a lot and square off the corner, cause you should be full throttle for a while going up the hill.

i think i make up a lot of time by holding the left stick down to get the rider weight back.

i thought it was the games funny low speed phyics that were giving me problems ... grrr ... 15 minutes.

well, they certainly dont help here...

it appears as if time is up :(

congrats though :)

Nice one Callaghan hell of a time ;)

All my best splits would have just about equalled your time :cry:

Now we all have to do it again on a different track :lol:

Thanks for the settings 750F you tamed the Brutale ;)

Use Tranny trick On Gears To get Minimum Speed And Stretch 5th and 6th out to get Max Speed Up to About 155mph

My Auto Was Set to 1 And Final Was At 3.177

Hope These Help :D

the tranny trick, in case you dont know, is to set your final gear all the way to the right. then move auto select once to the right and then all the way back to 1. that should give you the shortist possible gear ratios.
