Got a few laps in and my best time is a 1'35.0XX. The top guys are doing low 1'32's, that's crazy!

Edit: took of half a second. 1'34.575

Yup, that's with the DFGT. I'm not used to the DS3 anymore. With DS3 I got 1'38.XX. :yuck:
 
I'd really like to take part in one of your races. I have Chuyler1 on PSN, is there anymore regulars that I can add, becuase I rarely find Chuyler online. I'm from UK so timezone is GMT 0

Sorry, I haven't been on all week. I'm slowly losing interest in GT5 and I can't quite put my finger on why. Part of it is that I realized driving skill takes a back seat to vehicle selection and tuning is more about ballast and engine reduction than anything else.

You can still do well in a garbage car with your driving skills...the probem is that everyone online picks (elise,evora,nsx,spoon civic....)=boring race.

not at all!
Maybe you need to go back in a racing series with a limited car selection?

couldnt disagree more. maybe it's the track i race most on (nurb) but i never ever run a car with engine reduction.. they are just slower on this track. engine is always at 100% or 99.6 if i absolutely have to and i think i do pretty well. always tune up not down.

ps, can you remove me from the OP? not able to host anymore.
 
Yeah, I guess we need to get back into one-make racing. I also have to try that seasonal event. I might logon tonight for that.

I guess engine reduction isn't super important...but picking a car for its tires is. There are plenty of cars that can run fast given the right combination of parts, but they just won't hold the same corner speeds.

I get into a fast car and racing is a joke. I get into a slow car and racing becomes frustrating as bad drivers can make mistakes and still breath down your neck.
 
Benz is hosting a nurburgring endurance next week,if anyone interested...
 
He created a thread in (spot race )section...
 
Ya, that's only if enough people on GTP are interested. Not excited about hosting a nurb endurance with mostly or all pubbers who'll just back out or ram people the whole race. Also may lower laps a little, hopefully that will atract some more people.

You can add me to the list...I'm behind Agent and Diabolic after spending an hour on it. Personally, I do not like SFR at all. It is completely different driving. You basically throw the car into early apexes and let it drift around the corners. The course isn't bad though. I like the little corkscrew half-way through, and the chicane at the end leading up to a flat out right hander. I lose 7/10ths on the leaders through the first sector though. I know they aren't braking much but I'm just not used to applying so much steering input.

True, the only place where you need to brake is the corkscrew. The rest of the track is either flat out or just letting it float through.
 
I'm tapping the brakes and rolling through at 2 corners + the corkscrew. How quick you can set the car for the third corner is making my lap. If I can accelerate through 3 and 4 without letting off, the lap is good. If the SRF catches me out (or the inside bumper on 4) the lap is bad. What is bothering the heck out of me is the many flying red laps I've ran! I wish the ghost of those laps would remain. :D
 
Not sure if you guys had seen the other leaderboard, 20 guys are running 1:31s ! http://eu.gran-turismo.com/gb/products/gt5/event/d38079.html

Americas leaderboard is missing some top drivers..There should be at least 10-15 guys to break the 1:32 mark. I will probably stop once I run a sub 1:32, down to 1:33.1XX here. Getting tired of it already...

The most fun I had with you guys were usually in one make races. I also suggest to change PP for couple of nights. Maybe run 460 or 470 sometimes..
A detuned GTR academy version might be fun to try actually :) I would like to run a S800 race with you guys since I missed that laguna seca race a few month ago..

Also, get some more people to participate,
@ Jackthalad, you should check back here for the room #s being posted.

I think i will have time tonight if you guys setup the infamous Osprey Nurb room 👍
 
Nurburgring room open: 1472-6399-8494-1426-0814
 
checked back here about 1830 but I guess I was a bit early ^^^

ran my 1:32.9XX last nite with the GTR so I'm done with the TT for now..will check back here tonight to see if you guys have anything going on..


cheers

Anyone have a list of the cars currently in the OCD? Maybe we can do a spec night tonight. We've used a bunch of the premium cars so I think it would be fun to run something from the OCD (assuming there is something there between 400-500pp to run). No tuning, completely stock including tires.

Yes....Anyone want to squeeze a little endurance between the other (normal length) races?

@Cenk Awesome!:tup:I'm stuck at 1:34.4 (DS3) but I could technically do 1:33.9....The problem is that I haven't done it yet lol!

Toyota Sprinter Trueno SS is 434 pp If I remember...

The 2000 is 441 PP after an oil change. You can't paint it. Everyone in a white car.

Alternatively, fully lightened and with every power mod except for turbo, the 83 is at 440.
 
anyone mind if I get in the action. I'm new, but clean. I stay out of the way and mostly try to hang. If I get in a bunch, I'm clean. I wouldn't mind trying the ocd idea. I'm just in there buying stuff up.

Thanks,

Tim

Or maybe the Delorean.
 
let me know where you all are at tonight and I'll try to jump in if there is room.
