THANK YOU half depressed pedal tekuniku. Now I know how to keep my speed up in Tsukuba's long curves.

Tuskuba OB 3'22'xxx
Iro DH 3'19'xxx(might as well be 3'20)
Akina DH 3'26'xxx

Iro I dont get. I'm cornering usually at about 50-55; and I dont have any wallbangs to speak of...what could I be doing off? Is it straightway acceleration that's killing me?

Akina, I have little trouble with except the final stretch where that horrible, wide looking left hander comes up. I either end up braking too much or turning the wheel waaay too much and getting that stalled drift, AND lose speed. That may be the reason I'm getting times of 3'2x.

As for Tsukuba...bleah. I just know there are certain corners I can really open the throttle on, but the problem that crops up is downhill. I can't judge what distance I have to start braking as i come up at 160-ish, and that's likley going to get me bad. Lining is pretty tight, so I'm over-braking maybe?

Your timings aren't too good. I think you might have a problem with the speeds and acceleration points because you stated Iro DH cornering 50-55. I do it like 39 to 45.

Iro DH timing, 3'09'0.

You have more than just that left turn in Akina to worry about if you're running 20s.

Am I going in corners too hot? Akina speeds are usually 80-ish, and I tend to accelerate as soon as I see the car straighten. I'm not trying to make use of boost, just getting through the map without it to see how well I can etch it's new physics to my head.

Then again, I'm always drifting heavily when I watch a replay; rarely can I find a section wherein I dont have noticeable tailswing.

Edit: After watching some vids, I am INDEED going in faster than I need to. Small issue though. Has anyone noticed the brakes stop being effective once you get lower and lower on your 2nd gear?

i think akina corner speeds are usually low 70's. i'd even drop down to 60's sometimes if i have to just to maintain my line. i usually only go 80's to 90's speeds at soft corners where i want to conserve "boost'.

Damn, I'm struggling, I've to persevere or I won't improve

Akagi DH Dry: 2"48'5xx (RS)
Akina DH Dry: 3"12'5xx (RS)
Happogahara OB Dry: 3"08'xxx (RS)
Tsukuba OB Dry: 3"05'5xx (RS)
Nagao DH Dry: 3"20'5xx (RS)

PROs please comment, are they good enough?I think only My Akina is not good enough, but I still need Your comment All comment would be appreciated

so that means if i turn at 70-80(or maybe low 70), i can get a better timing? my car is 7-6-0-0-0 with 3'16"3xx timing and i usually turn at low 80s

HAHAHA I CLAIM THE FASTEST NAGAO DHD TIME ON THE GALAXY WORLD MKT CITY ARCADE!

2nd from the left btw, 3:24:4XX MR-S.

i guess so. with my line, i think i remember only two hairpins where i'd go 80's. the 2nd hairpin of 4th section and fireworks. but that's just my line, my time's still pretty slow. already FT'd but currently have 3'10'106 only.
don't know bout your line right now, but my only advice is, based on my own experience, you have to really clean your 2nd section. i think it's where everything else depends on. well, again, based on my experience only and is completely opinionated.

Bring it I enjoy having someone to fight over times with

running probably half a second slower, but I got my 2nd suspension, and now the car turns smoother and less squirrel-y. WE'll see after saturday no?

Akagi is good, maybe a 48 flat. Akina should be at least an 11 in my opinion. Your Happo is just the same as my 86 so no comment really. Tsukuba I dont know but the Nagao UH is pretty ok.

Waaa, Mr Damien Wolf!!!

You mean Nagao DH?

At least 11??!

OMG, teach Me how to get 3 Min Flat again on Akina DH in this Version please~

My Happogahara is the same with You?Really??!

Other PROs feel free to comment, even though You would say I'm Noob, it's OK, I really need to know where am I right now

[i thk damien meant ur nagao dhd is fine wit .20 n is not wat u thk that he meant .11 ...

akina the #1 is .06.8xx so if u can hit any where around .11 u shd b doing fine ... ... there's no where u can hit 3 min flat

at this moment i played both akagi n akina map both down n up hill dry ...

m still trying very hard to get the best out of my cp4 coz i always lose my boost at the last corner if not i chd hav break below .09.4xx ... still stuck at .5xx with my cp3 -.6xx ... is reli getting on my nerve now with that stupid last corner ... sighh

i can only giv u my thoughts on akina dhd as with all the videos available your corner speed muz b relevantly slow averaging nothing more than 75 n some below 70 ...

especially your consecutive u muz stay in gutter while releasing off your accel ... once out u can only accel if u r too early accelaring your end speed will not increase ... as usual try early braking n like wat my mt8 (YIAN) told me try not to steer too much ...

keep ur line tight n b really patient reaccelaring as u have to make sure your car is really out of the corners n your steering straigthen ...

good luck i hope my 2 cents can help ...

Hehe, I know *J*J*, I'm just kidding with the Akina DH one

And I was referring the 11 to Akina DH, not Nagao DH

Hmm, thx for the Advices though, will keep that in Mind

Yeah, I got his post now, Jimmy. I thought I saw Nagao UH. Anyway if its Nagao DH then you can push it at least a second faster, I think.

People actually play in Sydney?? I haven't seen anyone besides IVAN..

Hahaha...your little black Capp slayed my black MR-S in a battle on Tsukuba, remember? And it was your first time playing that map too!!!!

IVAN isn't really big on battles though, that's sad

wha,

Might post up a 3:23 on the morning so hurry and finish the tuning! Am gonna try to take all akagi~nagao DH records for timezone george st cuz i reloaded on double dollar day

I think I remember.. what cardname did you use again??

I find the machines at Galaxy better than the TZ ones.

Haruhi in Kanji, black MR-S with CF bits. Yeah the wheel on the right machine is a bit dodgy, and they have switched the sound off for replays, which kinda sucks.

It's cheaper to tune though! Should be FTed by the time I'm through with the card. Which track did you have the top times for in Galaxy? IVAN is fricking TA mad; he just sits there for hours just pounding the track again and again and again.

Yeah I remember you, how you going man

Yeah, I had all the records at galaxy then IVAN came and took alot of them, I will take them all back though this week probably since I only get to play about once a month or so.

Pretty good, haha, but still nowhere near your devastating times
Never see you around anymore, eventhough you're one of the first cars to get FTed!

We should set a time and meet up; I wanna have a go with your Capp!

Yeah, as I said I don't get alot of time to play nowadays due to work etc. but I will be going probably Thursday night to Galaxy + TZ.

Some updates on my Akina course using GC8V (7-7-7-7-7).

Akina DH Dry = 3'11"871
Akina DH Wet = 3'20"507
Akina UH Dry = 3'17'037
Akina UH Wet = 3'27"283

updated my akinaDH and nagaoUH 2day.
akinaDH now at 3'10''0xx
nagaoUH at 3'23''xxx

still a lot of errors on both maps, but i know where they are, and more or less i think i know how i can fix those errors. can't wait for the nxt IDAS5 day.

finally after trying so much on my akina dhd wit my 86 m able to break my time to .09.338 ... still can't figure out what's really wrong with my last corner as if not coz of the boost(cp3 -.6xx) i think my .08 is a reality ...

started playing yesterday wit my 86 on tsu ob n now is at .06,2xx n ib .10.4xx ...

i think i might lay off akina dhd for a while n spend more time on tsu ...
