extra notes:

treat side walks as you would curbing.

at the last hairpin, due to the games low speed phyics you may use what appears to be a dust sidewalk because ive found it nearly impossible to not use it.

well, i guess i will put up the first time...2.07.091. TTWSO rider #1.

it is really annoying how bad the low speed physics are. they are just terrible!




there is something about having your knee on the ground going past a casual coffee shop.:P :lol: we are on the yamaha rzv

Best I've managed so far is a rather pitiful 2:12.700. That's on the Yamaha though I'll have to see what bike DJ wants to use when he's about.

I hate this circuit sooo much.

i'm not much better at the mo' :cry:

i have however mastered the 'wheelie along the top of the wall' trick, as demonstrated in pic #1 :lol:

2nd pic is calla's brightened up :)

2'07.420 from me so far :)

2:11.961 for me, which is likely to be my final time. Had a very busy week and move house tomorrow so even if I do find the time to improve I may not be able to post my laptime 'cos of net access. Sorry DJ :(

Backmarker Racing are using the Honda by the way.

Usul #8 OnEdge Racing laptime of 2' 06.434

Those damn last 2 corners really mess up your times. They NEED to fix the slow speed physics on the next go around.

Sorry I forgot, I'm on the RZV500R

Usul #8 OnEdge Racing laptime of 2' 06.434

yes, the low speed stuff is rediculus...horrible...add any other synonym. its anything but realistic. on this track, i think the last three corners will decide the winner. get it right, and youve got a smokin lap time, but go too slow, and youll lose vital minutes...err, seconds...:? . there are some time when i cant even make the corner, because the entry is all wrong, even if you slow down to 5 mph.

down to a 2.05.037. i like the swepers in the middle part of the track. you can just flop it side to side, and even use a little rear wheel steering! :P

dropping on down...2.04.347

im going to give this more time tomorow. im surprised there hasnt been more activity as the races usually pick up over the weekend.

ello all :) this has been a terrible round for me

best i can offer so far is

Yamaha RZV500R-RM

t1 - 0:37.198
t2 - 1:02.397
t3 - 1:36.813

lap - 2:09.248

calla - what are youre spilt times?

[edit - that an interesting way to low side. i was going through the first stupidly slow hairpin, at the apex give it some gas to keep it turn then i was on the ground]

35.793 and 1.00.182 and 1.34.032. total time...2.04.347

hm ... my best is a mid 36, 1.01.x, and i dont remember the thrid split ...

2'06.443 ... doh, usul's just beating me over the line atm!

oh, and, + leader board :)

my final time is t1 - 37.166, t2 - 1:02.258, t3 - 1:36.404, lap - 2:08.937

here's the replay (http://www.ttbikesim.com/community/single.php/243)

couldn't find the RZV500R-RM in the yamaha dropdown list :?

i managed a 2'06'1 but when i check the replay, landing from the second jump the bike wobled and the fairing love kissed the wall. http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/images/smilies/censored.gif

[edit - added my replay, so, you guys decide. the more i watch it the more im not certain. its at the last jump right before the 3 sector mark]

2'05.960 ... that might be all from me on this round ...

Not A Very Good Round This For The Pal Version, Tried everything But fastest Clean lap Is a 2:09:251 :roll:

Calla just out of curiosity could ya Post your settings After the round so us pal guys can give it a shot cause 5 sec is alot ( not the first time i've wondered about the coding within the game )

I have to give you credit on this one as our fastest Duke times are low 2:03's
and on a bike over 20 years old too 8O

sure...actually, ill give them to you now. my springs are at 7 front and rear, the preload at 4 front, and 8 rear. the rebound is at 6 front and 5 rear, and the compression is at 5 front and 4 rear.

Right I'm Off To Hit A 2:02:xxx :lol:

The Rounds Not Over Yet Calla :roll:

:lol:

haha...my plan has worked perfectly...j/k. ill come back strong with a 1.59. then ill wake up... :lol:

you mentioned that about the coding. i wonder if there is a difference between the different regions. i tried my absolute best at the first two rounds with the tz's and was blown away, yet, what appeared to be a slightly more causal run by whichever was posted on youtube.com (i forget whose it was) it was a second+ quicker. im not convinced the games versions are exactly the same. but, dont mistake that statement for me thinking there is a big conspiracy either.

Tried like mad to get under 2'10, but no dice. I did so many laps, all the photographers had to get new cameras. ;-) Nice pic by the way Diatribe!

I'm hoping to make a good showing next week. A strong desire to ride The Ring is the whole reason I got this game. Hopefully I can pull it off for real next Summer. I'll have to go there a few times for work again.

Good run everybody, I'll upload my replay on Tues.

i took the honda out for a quick spin, and was able to hit a mid 2.06. the suzuki and i just dont get along...it needs a different riding style.

great times from everyone, especially nes! TTWSO 1-2. :D

i was doing 2'08 consistantly with the honda but the landing the jumps were random for me.

thanks :D congrats on your win :)

Here's my replay guys, http://www.ttbikesim.com/community/single.php/247

When's the next race thread going to be up, I've got a screaming lap time to post up :D

Well Done TTWSO

:cry:

Are we heading for a showdown at Suzuka :D

This could get interesting ;)

itll be up later today ... the host had a major headache last night after work :(

usul - sub 7 minute lap already? :P
