P1 2:05.2 with TC5... :dunce:
 
Where do the studio photos of the GTR come from. Is there a way for us to take studio photos? They look great!
 
It's a challenge for sure, I still consider myself a beginner, but this understeers worse than a badly tuned FF xD

Yea, I just noticed that and was coming here to post about it. Him and also P7 have their TC at 5. Nothing wrong with that, but in all my experiences, TC almost always made your lap times slower, especially at 5. I just find it odd that a P1 time is being able to be achieved with TC at 5. Getting ready for my first go myself, think I'll start with it off and experiment with TC later. Good luck everyone. :cheers:
 
Just for fun but cannot resist to TT!
 
Oh god just realised my best lap was with TC 5 by mistake!

TC is doing nothing with the GTR. Because its 4wd and has LSD set up so low you cant get your tyres to spin even if you try. So TC does nothing the whole lap. I lapped the same with TC 0,1,5 doesnt make a diffrence.

Down to 2:06:200 for second fastest German at the Moment at least half a second to find still.

I'm going for the fastest button-masher prize - I'm about 0.75s off my best combined sectors with this though:

I'm rooting for ya. 👍
 
I'm guessing the car has understeer built onto the setup. I'll give it a go tonight and see if I can muscle around it.

I'm not ;)

Yea, well, I guess not everyone can be an ass kisser. :guilty:.....:lol: (With my mouth and bad attitude, I need to earn all the brownie points I can, when I can. :lol: Sadly though, my strategic methods don't seem to work. :lol:)
 
Not done but so far got 2:09.871 with ds3 auto 2945th. Need to see if I can top that with manual.
 
I was very excited for GTA because I believe I had a shot at it (last year I was #33 in my region) but sadly this year UAE isn't included despite the camp being at Yas Marina... odd. Anyway, I'll still try to see how fast I can go :) Earlier I managed 2:7.300 (yes, exactly 300 :p) which isn't that quick but I'm happy with it for today. There's still a lot of room for improvement and it just started! My guess is #1 will be between 2:4.3 and 2:4.6 by the end of this.

I started with TC5 , because i forgot to take it off, and i tought i was driving without it, i managed a 2:07.6 with it.

Then i took it off and i was having more problems with understeer, and trying to keep up with my time. But eventually i did a 2:07.489 without TC.

By that point you will be so far behind you will be demoralised ;)

Out of interest how many laps have you run?
 
Famine
Brave words when you've still got 1.5s to find :DTwelve :lol:

1.5. Easy. I only fired the PS3 up before work because I wanted to see if there was an update for it, had 10 mins to spare so I thought I would run a few laps.

I think I finished two.

Anyway, I was number 178 in the world this morning with a silver time, improved it to Gold and dropped to number 300, I think when I first loaded the academy there was no number 1 time at all :lol:
 
Does anyone know the requirements is it just gold? and if so where does it say that?

Its Bronze, says it in the introduction text.

To get through, you have to get Bronze or better. Which would presume that it will be Silver in Round 2 and Gold in Round 3 to get to the Final Round. I could be wrong though. 👍

Requirements for what?

To count it as completed so you can run round 2 when it opens, bronze is enough. It says that on the last screen in the menu before you load the track up.
 
Managed a 2;09;213 with DS3, I take it there is no way of checking against other DS3 users ?

Just done one lap and was a 2:10.444. I know I can improve.

Thanks. That time is way out of my league, the nearest I'll get to being a racing driver is excuses so I'll blame the conditions. I'm only a few miles from Silverstone and although it's sunny the wind has picked up. :lol:
