Hmm, I found with the beta a lack of FFB. Not sure how it was with a G29 but could it be that which helped?

I have reduce the FFB on my G29 for GT6 and that did help my shoulder

, so I may be back at this tomorrow mate 👍.

1.19.291 in the Lexus Jeje, I think I must've done an oil change, not a lot of hp. That's after 3 laps, I'll give the Nissan a shot later but I gotta stop doing the same times as you!!

Thanks a lot my dear friend Lindsey for having tested and used this car. It's a real pleasure for me when you use my car . :cheers:

Thanks again my dear friend

A bit late to the party but we have a saying in Germany which basically translates "The deeper the night the greater the guest." :sly:

- so I hope it's ok. Most important ... I want this car ( HSV ) in real life. I'd take it to the historic Solitude racetrack which is 'round the corner from where I live and speed through the infamous Glemstal section, a 4 km stretch of neverending midspeed bends :eek:

!

The Autumn Ring TT is fun but this is even better. Shaved five tenths from my 18 months old time and there's still more in it, if I can nail the last section. I'm very pleased for now and look forward to give it another go.

1.15.781 / P48 atm :cheers:

PS
Even if TRL_IMMORTAL would have been my ghost, I still could have seen him after Corkscrew :dopey:

!!!

@KimVieira
I noticed you steer with directional buttons ... I simply can not imagine to go that fast with 'em :bowdown:

Good time.
Is that a pic of the car you used? Seems to be a fair sort of a camber on the front wheels?

Anyway improved a little to 1.16.454 for pos #132.

Nice time Jeje, I'll give it a burl tomorrow and see if I can beat you. I like the Nissan tune but again no hp, I must have changed the oil in everything I've got. 1.19.3xx yesterday and today, been .5 up but as usual I lose it at the corkscrew. Think it should have a name change to "I screw you" :lol:

Well, that's hard (after two hours daily session my fingers r quite painful), but it's the result of 10 years practice since the gt4. I'm world number 2 with directional buttons & chasing a greek pilot (number 1). Anyway, your time is quite good; congrat

Well, Kim, that's very special, congrats. I'm even more special though, 'cos I'm number 1 in the world sitting cross-legged on the floor when driving :cool:

!!! ( After one hour daily session my ass is quite painful :crazy:

@Jeje6410
You've tuned and driven different HSV models now - do you think there are differences between them in a way that one of them should be a goto car ?

ROCKET JOE · Sep 14, 2017

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Joke must have been good ... longest row of 'k's I've seen so far.
Seriously, steering with the buttons is admirable imo, super job Kim.

Back to Laguna Seca TT after a couple of days with Autumn TT and some novice drifting attemps, then I grabbed 0.1:

1:15.832 - 53 ATM - PAD/AT

I cannot see the @ROCKET JOE ghost but I smell his burning rubbers

ciao

I do not think there is much difference between the Weider HSV-10 '11 and the Keihin HSV-010 '12. Before doing my best time with the Keihin it was with the Weider. I will try to make a lot of versions that you find here or in my garage but I think this Keihin HSV-010 '12 is my better version

So you think your different laptimes are due to different tunes and better / worse driving, right ?

Jeje6410 · Sep 14, 2017

ROCKET JOE

Yes I think that différent laptimes are due to différent tunes and better driving. I think a better tune and driving with Weider HSV-010 '11 can compete with the HSV-010 '12

It all adds up:
Driver skill is the most important thing, then comes setup, and least important is the car choice (if you choose between the HSV's)

But even if the car choice is the least important aspect, you still need the fastest car to get the best possible time. I would never take the '11 model, as I try to get the best possible time I want to give myself the best possibility to do so. So I take the fastest car, no matter how small the difference is.
And the simple fact is, the '12 models have more grip and sacrafices power compared to the '11 models. On a short track like laguna seca, the '12 models will be faster.
All '12 models are similar (I think), tho I get the feeling the base model has some sort of small edge... but that could just be placebo.

I had just been asking, 'cos I noticed a lot of the top guys use the Raybrig '12.
Thanks for your estimation, would have thought quite similar.
Always great to hear a big gun talk about it though

For the first time ever on GTP, posting a laptime having not used a wheel! Probably could do each corner quicker, but not all in the same lap. Also ds3 controller = massively reduced patience :lol:

Guys in the top 100 using controllers though, and even directional buttons, crazy :eek:

Retiree · Sep 16, 2017

Finally after many many laps I cracked the 16s. Really smashed it for a 1.16.951. Got ya by .006 Jeje, that'll take some beating.

Nuno ferreira · Sep 16, 2017

To do 17 you need to drive calm, to do 16 you drink juste à coffee, to doing 15 you need to have good driving skill and to do 14 you need to paint yourself in green color like the Alien xD.
Me myself i stop at 1.15.865 with room for more but i am already happy with my time.
I Belive i can do 15.300 but i lost my patience xD

I saw you'd been using a controller, knew you usually used a wheel. Haven't seen much of you lately?
