Nah, I don't bully the elderly. :p

That's not true!

You kicked my butt in every race I raced against you... I had to leave the room crying :(

I have nothing to say in my defense, I did go a bit mad. :lol:

Ohhh those! :lol: Ehh... wrong car selection? :p

Maybe. Or just bad driving :dopey:

Back on topic, I think I'll see what a 300c can do in the coming weeks :scared:

How did I know it was going to be a 300c if it was you…? :lol:

:odd: I'm not sure... are you a mind reader? :nervous:
 
Anything remotely Moparish seems to be his favorite. :D

I took the Viper though, not that it matters since the 300C is his favourite thing in the world. :lol:

Does it show? I didn't think it was that obvious :lol::dopey:

Not true. Being married, there are certain other things that are my favorites 👍:D

But I do like the 300c as well as the Vipers. There alot of fun :dopey:

After the 600PP shootout, where of all the cars in the game you could have entered, you entered a jumped up 300C with 700+hp, I think we all know that you are a 300C die-hard fan as well as a "Mopar" (I'm not from the states nor do I have a rich culture in cars, so someone enlighten me here) nut, ya think? :p

And before anyone else tries or throws bricks my way…I tried a 564PP LFA, 1:32.135 or something like that with a few screw ups here and there. Worth a try (offline), online…death awaits, I guess. :lol:
 
Ahhh after some online testing I know now two cars which can easily go under 1:30 (1 AWD, 1 RWD). Probably about 1:27 offline.
I'll post times tomorrow.
 
I would dare say 1:25's for an alien.
 
I'm getting only 1:37 with my enzo, it still needs to be tuned much better. This is the first time in GT5 I have driven any car in practice mode on this track.
 
If concepts are allowed I'm thinking a SSII or a VW Nardo would be very good...:odd:
 
Driving high 1:28s with my Nostripe atm.

I can guarantee 'fun' has nothing to do with the Enzo at Cote, lol.
I highly recommend having your e-brake ready, and some drifting skills on tap!
I could have loosend the car up for this track as well to help with lap times, but I was merely just having fun. Offline hold no interest for me, nor does this track.
 
I used my own tune, but I can test yours too if you want.

Thanks doc, yes i would like you to test it please. I really want to tune for specific track / PP / tires only when i'll come back to GT. This car and some other few will have 10 or more tunes each.
I'll wait for your feedback, thanks a lot.

><(((((°>°°°°°°°°°°°°
 
1:28.537 Nostripe so far..... possibly 1:27 if my driving weren't that poor. I just can't drive a clean lap 🤬! (with clean I mean without mistakes, the lap itself is clean).
And yes, no aids except abs 1 and without shortcutting or using walls.

Saved the replay, but I'm going to test more cars before I start uploading anything.

Testing praiano's tune right now..... hang on

EDIT: Wow! That's an amazing tune!
When you look the first time on it you think it must understeer, because of the ridiculous rear height, but no, it actually doesn't. It's as if the car simply needs a certain load on the front.... however:

Praianos setting makes the car extremely loveable to drive. It always does what you want and this in a very smooth way. You can push the car as hard as you want, but you'll never feel stressed nor will the car make any sign of being overdriven. I really like how precisely it follows the line; it's not steering, it's thinking.

On the other hand there are, of course, a few flaws. It might be brilliant for the big majority, but it has some air for further improvements for time attacks. The rear toe is as example a bit too high; a lower setting like 0.08 (-0.10) works well/better. I also wouldn't set the rear by that much higher, therefore I tried a lower number, namely -4, but which is still higher than the front one just too keep the cars character the same.
LSD accel could be a few clicks higher in my eyes to make it handle a bit more active, but it's really not a big issue.

You must note that I had to decrease the power by a little due to the 590pp limit in this challenge, and consequently this could have slightly influenced my experiences made with this car as explained above.
Sadly, I can just hardly remember the exact time, but I think it was a..... 1:28.8xx or 1:28.9xx with your original tune after an admittedly relatively short testing session, simply because I moved on with trying other tunes and cars.

All in all an excellent work, nicely done!

Thanks for the review Dr. I was expecting this more or less. For sure the TOE must be adapted for this track to give more pivot. The original tune was a Laguna seca tune racing hard. Did you check the differents ride height ,ON & Offline ?
Thanks for this, have a good day and good drive.
><(((((°>°°°°°

O_O *****?

I...... I didn't see this.
Ahh I'm sorry, I'll retest it offline. :lol:


But seems as if I were right, rear must be lower offline. Sweet, sweet.... :)
 
these lap times are rediculous! making me look like a beginner here ;) (which i probs am anyway)
