I suppose that if you could keep a good pace for 7 laps with RHs, you'd be whipping everybody the last 3 laps with RMs.
*Theory only, at this point. Might not actually work.
and for the firs tunnel fast right hander, no braking, just lift before the bump where the up hill ends.
Bonus points for taking the top spot in Greece too. Regional #28, hope to remain in the top 100 until the end of the week because I don't see myself extracting any more time out of this All aids but ABS should be prohibited in sport races
Why do they always choose such puss cars for the one makes, give us something fun like M4 on SH tires... really separate the men from the boys.For me, the biggest problem this week is the car choices.
- 350 hp front-wheel drive car at race A(the track is pretty nice, though).
- And at C, the 86. The same car gets used over and over.
sick of people confusing nationality with race
Oh man what an Awesome race that was!! I started 8th, Yellaboy started 3rd, I’m not sure what happened to him that he ended up behind me but he did, from lap 2 onward this guy was right on my @$$! Aside from when we passed a couple cars along the way and I’d get away first, he didn’t let off once, he never fell more than .8 behind me. I managed to play defence well enough while keeping my pace that he never got his nose around me either, but one mistake and he was right there waiting, pushing. That was so much fun!!
We ended up finishing 5th and 6th with him still right there on my back bumper.
@Sven Jurgens was in that race too, how did it go man? I saw you had a red dot at the end.
This is the last 3 laps, bust it started on lap 2, we went into the pits touching bumpers, came out touching bumpers and he was right there the rest of the way. I didn’t k ow he was an A+ until after either.
I'd say pretty much on par with each other or its down to the person using said devices. Personally i have noticed that i am marginally quicker with the wheel but ... I reckon thats down to the smoother transitions in steering, whereas the sticks can get fiddly. However i struggle way more with the pedals than i do the triggers, when balancing the throttle, its weird. It is however just a personal observation as the gaps between times are akin to the ones you shared. Saying all that, i do also believe with sufficient usage, you can become skilled with any of them.
Congrats on the time. I think my 1:17.9 QT was a "one in a million" because I haven't been able to come close to it since.I'll try playing around with BB.
I didn't race it but the Italia also feels nice here. Good handling around corners without losing too much speed. I managed a 1:18.3 with it, at least.
I’m soooo jealous!! I haven’t hit a ball since last September! I haven’t gone this long in 5 years lol. I normally play sim golf all winter but GT took over that time slot, and then some.
I’ve got Friday off as a holiday anyways so I’ll be around then for sure, and tonight.
Tried a no stop on hards this time, made it farther but had to give two spots back in the final laps. I started 18th but the final screen doesn’t count drop outs for some reason.

I won't be racing yet, going out to work in the yard first. Tomorrow it's supposed to go up to 20c with rain which won't stop until Sunday afternoon hmm. So yup, heading outside now before the clouds show up. I'll be on the track later. Don't get too fast!!
Nope! I did not change my assists! I think I'm getting out of touch with racing on the DS4. I've been racing only on the wheel since January. I steer a little too early on the DS4, so I have to restrain myself haha. That's when I start to correct myself and get slower times.I can barely come within a second of my wheel times on a DS4 now, great job man! I find it very difficult, did you have to turn any assists on?
I'm .4 behind you in the 660. Tomorrow, when I have more time, I'll see if I can get closer. I don't feel disadvantaged, against wheel users. It's the damn pedal users.
I started racing with the wheel only back in January. Someone on another site was asking me for tips on getting better at racing with the DS4, which made me really curious and try this out.
Been thinking about doing some proper track guides, along the lines of whats written in this post? Anyone find it helpful or has tips for what they would rather see or hear let me know please
Coming into the first part of T1 turn in just after the last white board, i tend to lift a little at that point to help turn in also, then hard on the brakes near the end of the red and white curb on the inside, brake balance -2 to settle the car on the brakes, getting on the power gradually through the exit.
Stay in 4th and turn in smoothly into esses with a little throttle still on, dropping to 3rd for the second one and leaving just enough room to stay flat/almost flat through the very last one, then, slight touch on the brakes into degner 1, and aim to carry momentum through degner 2, braking too late costs more time than braking too early.
Down to first for the hairpin and then go to about 1/3 or 1/4 throttle to build some speed/ shift weight for more traction before progressively full throttle into 2nd and third, this takes some practice, too gradual and you lose time, too fast and you get wheelspin just like the SF19 the other week, im back to +1 rear brake balance at this point.
Switch brake balance to +4 for spoon because you need to brake while turning, exit is vital and so hard to maximise in the GTR, gradual power application seems to be the key to avoid oversteer, but carrying momentum through the apex also helps with this.
Last chicane is very tricky with all the downforce virtually gone, so switch back to brake balance +1 and make sure to be gentle and smooth on the power and take the shortest route to the line, you can also cut the second part fairly aggressively.
ABS is default, all other assists are off, G29 wheel and pedal set, lap time was 1:46.350
Edit - 46 not 36
Have you considered going 4M/6M? I want to try it when I don’t start on pole.It’s possible depending on your strategy and start position, I’ve tried a few but haven’t purposely mixed tires yet. So far I’ve gone 5M/5M, 6M/4M, 1H/5M/4M lol and 10H. Mediums the whole way is the easiest route, Hards the whole way works alright in a slower rooms but they die off pretty bad at the end. If you’re gonna make a pit stop you might as well go mediums the entire time, I hadn’t thought about mixing them yet.
What ya thinking, hold off until lap 7/8 on Hards and then try to make a dash at the end on fresh Mediums?
I’m gonna try to put that Daily Race Lobby up this Saturday night for anyone who’s interested. Im gonna aim for 9pm est start, anyone who wants in or might want in just send me a friend request on PSN Pigems so you’ll be able to see the room, or be friends with someone who is racing. That way we don’t get random strangers jumping in and ruining the fun.
Yeah, and his beer isn't even open.
That setup is probably only gonna be doable for single guys.
Whatever you do, don’t do this!
I went off twice more afterwards, worst race of the week so far, started 6th, finished 12th or 13th I think. Better luck next time.
It may work, it’s worth a try for sure. 👍
Turismo-Windfire just pulled off a no stop on Mediums for the win, he started on Pole too, he even went off the road once just before the hairpin. Colour me impressed, even for an Alien.
