Generic Weekly Hotlap Challenge 164 – Learning Curves

Just throwing it out there for anyone to answer. These are the only 2 car brands I can't pronounce.

 

What about Jaguar?

 

Hee, hee, hee..

I would suggest we North Americans leave this one alone!

 

For those of a certain age and in the UK ,Mary Whitehouse would be in for a real shock these days.I remember coming back from the pub and hoping a red triangle programme would be on which in todays terms was very tame.Nowadays anything goes.Who on earth goes on these shows?????????????????.Obviously the UK is sending out the message to see potential partners in their birthday suits before asking them out.So this paints a disturbing image of british pubs with customers having a bag over their faces until you find a suitable looking tw#t,boobs or co#ck.Sorry i'm rambling on

 

trying to find some time. Do you take copse corner full speed with default setup?

 

@Stan Getz -At the moment i'm dropping down to 5th in default setup.It gives me better exit speed

A quick session to get a feel and adjust psi and fuel.

 

Well, this one caught me a bit off guard. I was wondering what the Bank Of Ireland had to do with anything so I had to google "boi"

Ouch.

I like to think I'm a modern, unprejudiced bloke, so here's my rainbow lap, loud and proud and unapologetic .



I know it can be hard to copy the alien's laps; it might be easier to follow my humble effort to begin with.

I've included my set up at the end. It's not much different from the standard.

Oh yes, welcome to the WHL, by the way.

 

That's a lovely, sensitive, velcoming wideo @moodyryder !
The time and thought involved, together with the impressive content and "vulnerable-childhood" soundtrack, it is overvhelming.
By far, the best of VHC receptions ever, not to mention, just how little you had to work with.

Vatching the wideo, I find it so difficult to concentrate on your line, was just too busy wiping away the tears....

As for your shameless plug as a "father figure" role model to the less experienced... I'm buying! Twice.

Yep, me too. Gonna try to put some more downforce. I also took the first corner in 5, tried the last lap full power and gained 1 sec. Maybe copse corner can be done full power and hopefully I will get an 2:03:xxx

@Stan Getz -Abbey is flat out.I think with copse it depends where you knock down to 5th.It's a fine balance.Knock down too early you loose speed knock down too late you're going sight seeing,for me anywayI was going to post this three timesI'm sure you'll get into the 2.03's

 

after the appearance of the dlc there is more and more the wish in me to carry out the whc also in acc.
but I'm afraid that will be difficult.
hopefully I will still have time and desire to scare the little runabout a little faster through here

 

Oke! thx, lets rock!

 

I just can't seem to dial this t#at,oops sorry,tat in.

@Stan Getz -go for it dude

 

Yeah....the new DLC in ACC is massive so much fun driving on the new tracks and the great thing is I read somewhere in a forum where a guy from kunos said that it's the first DLC so we can assume that more DLC's will come in future

Thursday catharsis

Tuesday to Thursday on the forum this week has been a journey. I’m haunted by the feeling that one unwise choice of supporting image in Tuesday’s Standings may have started it. Many thanks to @moodyryder for stepping in to hold things together so entertainingly! (I think wiktor, friend of Andy from Falkirk, could have used a comma and has gone away now. The grammatical threw me slightly. I'm hoping this post starts a new page!!)
One of our favourite driver’s leg has been firmly pulled, in bragging that there are only two car brands he can’t pronounce! Never mind Jegwaaaargh, has he been to China? (No thanks, all flights are cancelled!)
Here is one for all of us, especially @Neilski - How do you say the name of the car brand below? The Chinese “luxury” car maker, going since 1958 and the 67th highest-selling car brand in the country. Yep, that’s 67th. I’ve even included the logo as a huge clue. (answer is below)

Hey @F1415182235 , two weeks and no laps is very unusual!
Reviewing the Tuesday Standings, apologies to @Bobby Situkangpoles , wrongly placed as 8th instead of 7th. Shockingly, no one appeared to notice, or, how delightfully polite everyone is. I thought you all read everything…. Delightfully polite it is then!

Back to the driving @moodyryder has even found time to pop in a 4th placed lap time. What a super range of talents. @Stan Getz , heavy on his “post reply” button, has delivered a whopper! Three seconds of improvement. Most unfairly, he is promoted to 9th - the same place as Tuesday. We see what happened there. In real terms he’s up two places. Great going!@Laughing Gravy drops in behind. As a man with an eye for a lovely number, he’s got the numerically wonderful 10th position. And @365gt , in at 7th, keeps up last week’s momentum and fills out the crowded 2:03.7 segment. We know he’s got something up his sleeve…

Good to see the vigorous discussion on line and throttle, although @Pretend racer 's very excellent video removes any questions about the fastest way around the circuit!
No motivational motivation today, heads down, let’s quietly get on.

I think I might park her up... in deference and gratitude to he who has so amusingly looked after "my back!"
