The Tuesday races will be in a public lobby. If needs be just message me on the PSN and I'll reply with the room number. The Time Trials are in the club room, simply sign up, open a room and run the event. I'll try to have a room up by 9:30p CST so everyone can practice.
Truth be told, the C5 Z was designed by proper race care drivers - the chief engineer for the Corvette program actually raced C5 Corvettes while the car was a current model - The C5Z was really built for and by race car drivers
I honestly don't care what people think about it. The Cobra R is always going to be one of my all time favorite cars. I drive it as much as I can in any game that it's in.
I have a pretty decent tune for it on GT6 that does well in 500PP races.
oh boy 3:41.848 to my PB of 3:337.374 at the MT.

Only so much you'll be able to do. A DS3 controller is going to be anywhere from 2-4 seconds quicker than a time turned in with a wheel. However, driving with a wheel completely changes how you experience the game. Much more fun, challenging and realistic than driving with a DS3 which I did from the time GT1 came out until I finally got the wheel for GT5.

@basswerks1 As a wheel user myself I think there is merit in what both @Baron Blitz Red and @Vic Reign93 are saying. I find myself struggling against the field in the few COTW online races I've done with you guys against both DS3 users and wheel users. You could argue that I'm just not very quick, and I concede that I'm not compared to the regular racers in those lobbies.
I have no idea if I could go faster by switching to a controller for online racing but to be honest, even if I could, I don't think it would be by enough to make a huge difference. Vic may have had trouble last night racing a guy using a G27 but he was hardly troubled by yours truly using a DFGT like the one you've just acquired (smart move
Sure you can laugh and say all that proves is that I suck but the point is, regardless of control input, it's the player who makes the car go, stop and turn and some are just better at it than others, end of.
I agree with @VacekS on one thing though; GT6 is a driving game and playing with a controller just doesn't feel like driving. I drive in cockpit view, with a wheel, because for me the enhancement and immersion that brings to the whole experience is worth any penalty I may or may not experience in terms of speed. Once you feel the force feedback of a wheel and experience the satisfaction of correcting a slide, the rumble of the road through your hands and the actions of actually "driving", you'll begin to appreciate all a wheel has to offer.
One thing you will definitely notice if you watch carefully is that wheel users invariably look far less erratic and twitchy on the road/track, simply because the control you have is far more progressive and less switch like when it comes to steering. Ultimately, whether the wheel improves or degrades your times, your driving experience will be transformed.
(BTW, thanks for being a gentleman at the first Cape Ring race yesterday and giving me back the place after the little shunt you gave me - it was one of the few races I wasn't dead last
hey i just got one, is there a way to stop the thing from shaking so much?
@OGGamer ... Out of curiosity, how long did it take you to get used to the wheel? I hear it's quite the learning experience, but is that really true?
I'm curious, cause I do plan on getting one for the PS4 and GT7, but as @McClarenDesign says, old habits die hard.
Cheers
Not sure why you quoted my previous post ahead of this statement? First off, I didn't say that either were "faster" than the other. I did state (reasonably clearly I thought) that in my view it's an individual player's ability that affects performance irrespective of their chosen method of control input.
Secondly, nowhere did I say it was unnatural to use a controller in a racing game. I did say that I prefer using a wheel because for me it makes for a more immersive experience; no more and no less. As with so many things in life, your mileage may vary.
Most importantly of all I was certainly not trying to start a futile and childish wheel vs controller squabble, I was simply engaging with @basswerks1 over the subject of his new toy.
As @Lewis_Hamilton_ rightly says, it's an age old debate and one that will probably always cause differences and in the words of one Mr Gump, "that's all I've got to say about that"
