Holy shit it's Jimmy.

What's the lowest exit speed on all of Hakone regardless of IB/OB? I've watched the HK pro replays and I swear dropping into third on the exit of some of the red corners would give better acceleration than just sitting in fourth.... not saying you guys are wrong, but isn't the lowest speed like 140-150?




Oh yeah took the first red turn on OB properly for the first time in ages yesterday (in terms of when I started the turn-in), although I'm so used to holding lock the whole time to get through the turn that I had an exit speed of like 110 roflmao.

Same as Gunma, I did what Jimmy said and my skills improved almost immediately ._.

MOTHER OF GOD.

Breaking 4'50" wubwubwubwub

Thanks jimmy155 for the tips!

All I can say is play with 760hp and not hit any walls, even just gassing off every corner and your time should drop by 5 second

@Austro I can’t remember the lowest exit speed from the corner, but about the gearing issue; On five gear car you can shift down to 3rd gear (for six gear car 4th gear) but that only should be happening twice (that’s both inbound and outbound, as well both time been same corner).

WMMT4 note:
From the look of the Wmmt4 video, hakone seems to be easier in terms of rhythm. They have finally split the course back to inbound and outbound, the course it self haven’t had any major changes (minor change on cp2 inbound corners). In other word back to Wmmt3 =)

mister jimmy, how do i improve my CP1 time? >w<
i somehow keep falling 2 seconds short of the usual time

Hmm just need to find a suitable rhythm, hmm the best way to put it is... find a better way to corner one corner ahead. In other word, no point trying to turn one corner fast if the next corner is slow (or off apex).

Jimmy, I guess you're already dubbed the God of Hakone now... and seeing you in action... I NOW BELIEVE GOD EXISTS! XD

jimmy is godly

Anyone has a good Hakone TA vid that involves a S30Z?

found one, and it's good quality too:

R35 SpecV too pls.

That's impossible.

Anyone knows a hakone ta vid that features r34? Haven't seen one yet. Need to break 45.

that's not even taromisaki =_+

ultimate fail

thought it was o well

why? no one uses R35 @ hakone?

not that i know of. XD

cause r35 is big and hard to turn?

for me getting 4.35ish is not that hard the problem is hit 1 time there goes my entire timing and especially my IB is no fail in hitting just that WHERE only rofl...
then when the course goes into OB, in front IB already lag behind so far when i start my OB im like bout 3sec behind even if OB comes off clean always come in 4.39ish...

only reason i can still come in before 4.40 despite all the bangs is cause of my OB and that has been the freaking problem that I JUST ALWAYS BANG AT THE SNAKES HEADON effectively cutting me down fast.

oh and i noticed since our god talks bout 1h steer i think i'll just testify for it, yes, it works at least for me been doing it ever since mt2 my OB is always 1h steer 1h shift(god hand any1 ) though IB is unable to for me...
it gives u the upmost confidence to hit the corners full in no brakes no reserve and for that its the only reason u'll ever go faster.

they say IB is easier than OB but i just cant understand why to me IB and OB are like polar opposites equaviliant to c1 and wangan line... OB works like a breeze IB a ride through hell

fastest hakone TA? and what car and by whom?

hm, has anyone blown past 4'40"xxx with a car OTHER than the rx8 and NCEC?
i mean in DX+ btw.

Jimmy155, you sir have truly taught me the ways of Hakone.

Because of your sagely advice, I was able to break into 4'48"505 past the 50" mark.

-salutes-

Any car can do Hakone, the R35 is no exception.

There's a guy here that gets a 4:39 with an r34.

Guess i shouldn't worry on my part as the Hazama R34...
(also when i get some extra funds, i'll mail 3x hazama R34 cards of mine to each of you guys, Robsta and Dan)

CP1 - I can minus around another 100
Cp2 - probably another 60
Cp3 - 200 off from my best =<
Cp4 - another 100 plz

so i might be able to get in to 36 XD

and yes 39 isnt hard to do with a R34 or R35

Wow that's one amazingly fast time (especially given how difficult and technical Hakone is).

Without a doubt, you're Australia's fastest man in Hakone
