TRD3 V8 Supercar Rd 12 Shanghai

[Peter Vuko]

Thought I would put up main details again:
RACE 1 *5 laps*Default settings for Qualifying & Race
RACE 2 *5 laps*Reverse Grid(start at back)*Default settings.
RACE 3 *5 laps*Free Settings for Qualifying & Race
*FOR ALL RACES- Corner Cutting ON, Careless Driving OFF, A.I. Custom 110%
I'm going to Sydney on Friday to see the Robbie Williams Concert, so times can come in as late as Sunday night. Cheers!

I've been practicing, but with default settings & 110? AI, I qualify last and the pack slowly pulls away from me.

so, I may withdraw. I was hoping to make my Aussie V8 debut here in China but I'm not sure I'm ready.

I love driving these cars though, and I've enjoyed getting to know this track.

but maybe I should just stick with the little renault clio's until I'm ready to move up!

[52Paddy]

I don't think I'll make the race either with a full agenda for the time being.

[c8nay]

Peter, I sent my times on Sunday. Did you get them before the shut down or shall I resend them?

[tannat]

I'm going to Sydney on Friday to see the Robbie Williams Concert, so times can come in as late as Sunday night. Cheers!

You're living the charmed life this summer:
V8 drive
Robbie Williams concert

What's next? Makeover and a cruise to Hawaii :laugh:

[Peter Vuko]

I am supposed to go to Fiji in May for a wedding but with the way things are going over there...... maybe not!

[tannat]

if anything this track is making me realize how poor my cornering technique is. i can't qualify above last with default settings. this is a very challenging circuit.....

[555-04Q2]

Here's a stupid question for you guys:

What does TRD stand for :?: Is it Toca Race Driver :?:

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Yes :p :

[Peter Vuko]

Guys, I've only received 5 times for the Shanghai Rd: c8nay,BobZee,Tannat,dcr22B & mine. Can you let me know as soon as possible if you are entering the Rd - I'll wait until tomorrow night (Tues.) The forum cross over may have something to do with it.

[Peter Vuko]

I also have real_illusion's times. That makes 6. Maybe some of you guys sent your times in during the cross over??

[I am evil Homer]

Hey - sorry i'm taking a break from TRD3 for a while so won't be competing again in the near future.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

I have done the first race and won from pole but not sure if I will get the other too done.

[Peter Vuko]

Could dcr22B please confirm that his Reverse Grid time was quite a lot faster(6 secs)than his Race 1 time. Its just that most people were 5-7secs faster in Race 1 compared to the Reverse Grid race.

[Peter Vuko]

Another Rd win to P.Vuko. With one Rd to go he has sewn up the title - his third for the year - I'm pretty proud of that!! An excellent drive by dcr22B in all 3 races but in particular the reverse grid - he is fast becoming the reverse grid king!! BobZee once again showing he is fast becoming the one to watch out for,posting the fastest lap of the weekend. Both c8nay & Tannat picking up some useful pts. Its a shame we didn't get more entries!! I will put the Overall Standings & details for the last Rd at Phillip Is. tomorrow night. Cheers.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

1:39:51 on a default set-up!!!!!!!!! I thought my 1:41:30 was the perfect lap. :s

How did people tackle the first sequence of corners?

[real_illusions]

well done Peter on your ch'ship win.

How did i tackle the first sequence of corner? by taking the racing line ;)

[johnny shell]

correction - EIGHT drivers made the trip.

one just didn't bother to compete after his practice laps proved severly dissapointing!

[Brown, Jon Brow]

How did i tackle the first sequence of corner? by taking the racing line ;)

That corner doesn't have a racing line!!!!!!!!

[real_illusions]

That corner doesn't have a racing line!!!!!!!!

yes it does..its somewhere between the green stuff on the right, and the green stuff on the left ;)

[Brown, Jon Brow]

yes it does..its somewhere between the green stuff on the right, and the green stuff on the left ;)

Yeah that track has run -off areas to each side of that corners so there is no green stuff. :p :

Where is the bracking point and turning point?

[real_illusions]

the green stuff is just further away, probably on the outskirts of shanghai or something.. ;)
