Rd 4 takes the V8 Supercars to the USA for the first time at Laguna Seca. We are going to do qualifying on Time Trial mode for this Rd. All times must be posted on the codemasters hall of fame & also on this thread. I will update the top 5 times every night until next Thursday evening(3rd May) at 8pm Australian time when qualifying finishes. No qualifying times will be accepted after this. You can submit as many times as you like but you can only claim one position on the grid. The results will go up at around 8.15pm & the qualfying pts distributed. The RACE DETAILS will then be outlined & drivers will get 9 days for the race.
Qualifying Details:
*Time Trial Mode
*Free Set Ups - no cheats or boosts!
*You must post times on Codies & thread. No excuses will be accepted!
*Times must be posted before Thurs.3rd May 8pm.

I haven't had much joy dipping below the 1m08s in default at present so hopefully, a few tweaks will get me moving well.

I'm still in the process of working my way through to unlocking the V8 International part of the game, hopefully i can get it done in time for this round.

If not at least the next round is at a (proper ;) ) Aussie track, so i'll be in that one :)

Three official times have been recorded so far at Laguna Seca:
Adam Sloma a 1m.2.40 although there are some doubts whether he will be able to make the race - he is currently having talks with his sponsor.
Current series leader Peter Vuko put his Commodore on the track for the first time today & posted a scorching 1m.02.67. The reigning V8 champ said there was more in the car.
UK hopeful, Jonny Brown posted a respectable 1m.04.38 but was sure he could get the car into the 03's tomorrow.
Other drivers have been testing & we are sure to start getting more "official "times in the next few days. Another report tomorrow night!

I have gone over 1/2 a second faster than my 1:04.38 in the first sector but fluffed up the rest of the lap. I have found that downforce helps you at the end if the lap but compromises the start of the lap. I need to do a lot more laps to refine the set-up.

1:02 will be possible if I start using handbrake to carry more speed in the corners.

A few more "official" times posted today in qualifying at Laguna Seca. The Ford of BobZee & Holden of Vuko Jnr both making it into the 02's.
The current top times are :
1.A.Sloma.. Ford. 1m.02.40
2.P.Vuko.. Holden 1m.02.67
3.S.Vuko.. Holden 1m.02.71
4.BobZee.. Ford.. 1m.02.87
5.J.Brown..Ford....1m.04.78
6.real_ill...Holden. 1m.07.36

Very close between the top 4. Still plenty of time to improve & move up the ladder. Keep the times coming! If you have probs - check the codes you enter are correct - the letters are not that clear sometimes & as a result you may be knocked back eg I & L & O & C can easily be mistaken.

I got a reply that was next-to-useless - basically they said if it didn't work, it didn't work.

I've tried 3 email addresses - work, yahoo and gmail and none of them work. Unless I registered years back in the days of CMR2 and don't remember!!

So i'm out :(

I've got a temporary solution. I propose to post Geoff's times under my username until such a time that he gets this issue resolved.

Would anybody else (or even Geoff for that matter) have a problem with that? He's been such a stalwart in these offline championships for years that it would seem a shame for him to lose out because of something that is beyond his control.

There'll be no fear of him identifying his time against mine as his will be faster!!!!

ah,

I hate deadlines now, I just got back into GT4 :D only for the Prototype racing (I missed it so much) plus when NCAA 08 comes out I'm gonna be missing alot of races, plus working on my model about 3 hours a day doesn't help.

I hope I have some time to make up a set-up and qualify.

Hey Homer if you can't register onto codies then simply post your time on this thread with the time code and I as the the convener of the the series will put it in for you under my name - that's easily done!! There is no need to pull out of qualifying!!

PV, how the did you run a 1m 02 :s

you think you can tell me what your brake points are.

I'm running nearly 3 seconds slower on a track I'm fairly consistent on, but this track is not designed for E-Braking Codies :mad:

You pulling rank on me, Mr Vuko!! Hahaha! Stealing my suggestions, only kidding.

I've submitted my best lap so far (1m06.51s) under my own name David McGinley this morning. Was testing for an hour this morning but seem to have lost my way on set-up as I couldn't get below a 1m07s dead. Losing all the time in the final sector, will have to work on it.

Keep the times coming - I have found the biggest change to make is with the gearing - wind back that 6th gear & then adjust the others to suit - you should knock off 2 secs easily!!

I never seem to find that much time with gearing. Do you run all the gears close to each other?

I found a lot of time in the 1st sector. I can get around the 1st corner with a handbrake flick, the next two right handers are flat, then the next left hander is nearly flat.

Got in about 5 clean laps, plenty more work to do on setup. I always end up braking way too deep at the corkscrew.

Would love to hear the minimum speeds on everyone's telemetry ( I believe this occurs at the Corkscrew).

Testing break as laundry/dishes await (the life of a night shift dad)...

With a few more days to go qualifying looks interesting. Will we see a lot of movement in the last days like in F1 when they all go out in the last few minutes?? Are some people holding back their best times until the last few hours??? Still no Homer!! Post your code & time on this thread & I will put it in if you are still having trouble on codies.

the flurry of late activiry has began!

I'm focusing mostly on my race set-up this round, having learned my mistake from the previous round where I spent too much time in time-trial mode and had a mess of a race.

but, at then end of my practice session, I headed over to time trial mode & quickly posed a 1:03.75!

I'm sure more time could be found, but the race is what matters.

Wow! What activity! This is what I hoped would happen. Just like the real stuff - everyone going for it at the last minute. Still no Homer time!!! Like I said Homer, post your time & code onto the thread & I will post it onto codies.
Times go up tonight 8.15pm Aussie time - still time for changes!!

I don't have time to do another run. I don't think that I can get into the 1m02's with the controller I am forced to use. Hopefully some ballast on the fast guys will help me :D

What a great qualifying week!! Reigning champion Peter Vuko in the Holden just edging out the Polish flyer Adam Sloma in the Ford in the last session. The top 5 clocking seriously quick times!
I think the new format for qualifying worked very well - adding some extra excitement. The details for the race will go up tomorrow night - I'm too tired to do them tonight!!

Great times guys !

Good luck !

Not been around for a while...sadly my brave, beautiful daughter Lili (3 years 4 months) died of a rare cancer after going into hospital last Friday.

I'm in pieces...I won't be around a long time, but i'll pop back if I can. Just trying to keep busy etc and take my mind off things.

Until then stay safe
