How do you tell if a car is c or d spec, as you call it? I know there are certain cars like the muira or gsx/r that are the "best" in their categories but I only know that from reading about them in Gtplanet and that those are the cars people turn to when doing the seasonal TT's.

Trial and error basically. There is a beater or sleeper thread in the main GT6 forum that you can find a lot of c and d spec cars in.

Hi fellas.

Just thoght i'd stop by to check up on you guys and your shenanigans.


Today i'm not doing to well.

Had to take my woofer to the vet yesterday to have her put down.


She began to show signs that made me realize the time i had been dreading had come.

She struggled to get up on the couch and the bed, lost her apetite and only drank water.


I'll miss her greatly as she was truly one of a kind.

Rest in peace my beloved furry friend.

Also my condolences towards you.
Losing someone who gave you a lot of joy in your life isn't easy to deal with.
I've experienced myself a couple years ago.
Needed to put my cat down because of illness,he was almost 18 years old.
 
So I am still playing with the Intermediate and Expert Level Challenges waiting for the new trials tonight. And in the Intermediate, the most fun tune award goes to Shaun for his Pikes Peak Quattro. This tune (unchanged, except for SH tires) is the best drifting non-drift car! The rear end slides out on its own in several of the turns. Application of the throttle increases the drift until the car straightens itself out. Lots of gratifying tire smoke too. It's a must try, especially for the drifters. :cheers:

Hi Shaun80 , I just ran your Ford GT40 Mark 1 15th Anniversrary Edition '66 (550PP SS) in the Pre 1980 American Cars Super Lap, but inadvertently ran it at 530PP (must have been set for some reg.race) and managed to get to 801 in the leaderboard. First time I have ever featured in the top 1000. It's an outstanding tune. If I can manage that , it disillusions me a wee bit to think how fast some of you guys can take this car.

After hours of tinkering with this car on SH tyres, I came to the conclusion that this car was never meant to be tamed at this PP level. However, I have created this tune to make it easy to drive, fun and most importantly, controllable. It occasionally lights up the rear tyres, causes some smoke but you can drift this car round corners very easily when it does that without losing much time. The front tyres will turn bright red on sharp bends but they manage to get round without causing too much power oversteer. A car very much like the SS tyre version. When driven in a manner in which it approves, it will feel great and you'll be happy. Go a little mad, it will forgive you and you'll still be happy. push it beyond the boundaries and your a gonna.

As always, check this new tune out and if you have time, some feedback on it would be great. Again, Enjoy this tune and don't let it bite you in the bum too much.

Nice tune, but I will have to switch to your Mark 1 tune to get closer to your and @chrisspeed281s ghosts. :cheers:

Up the power to 550 and I reckon you can get a little higher than 801. :) Glad the tune worked well for you.

The Z28 is a great car, very nice to drive and really easy to drive fast. The best car is definitely the GT40 for this event, very quick and extremely grippy around this track. I could have gone a couple of seconds quicker but I wanted to get a gold time first time. I will have a go later at catching @chrisspeed281 as I think I can get a little closer to him.

Hi Shaun how are you going ?, I will be trying these TTs tomorrow, I can not wait to try your Ford GT40 Mark 1 15th Anniversrary Edition '66 (550PP SS) :).
Click to expand...
I am well thank you. Well done on your place in the FITT event. Higher than me in the end :) Nice job with your tune. I look forward to seeing my lap time obliterated in the TTs.
chrisspeed281
I hope you guys come closer :) The Ford GT40 mark 1 is the best Car for this event , for Suzuka i think the BMW Z4 GT3 is the fastes ( i got a 1:50.9..) For the Drift Events i have used the BMW Z4 Coupe and the Subaru Impreza Rally Car '03 (Tarmac Drift Setup) . Now i wait for @fordlaser777
Click to expand...
I will get the Impreza added to the list. I think I am currently scoring higher than you in the drift events? Unless you have given them another go.. I will be getting the Z4 GT3 out later for this event. My head wasn't right for Suzuka, kept sliding into the grass on the fast sections. Gotta be in the right frame of mind for this one I think. :)
 
So.. Apparently it's Friday......again.


Just wanted to stop by to check up on your shenanigans and at the same time wish you a happy weekend.


This vid is by one i follow on YT and this one really made me feel good on a Friday..

Imagine sitting there on a grassy slope on a lawnchair with a couple of cool beers and just listen to this... Ahhh.

That's life.

It works surprisingly well on this track on SH tyres. A great car and one that I am glad I tuned up the way I did now.

Very nice times in the Z28. Not the quickest horse in the yard but definitely one that can be relied upon when needed.

Nice cars, lots of noise and lovely scenery. Hope your well and enjoying the PS4. I havent seen you on GTA recently, have you done anything with the biker update yet? not sure if it is worth all the money they want you to spend on bikes and club houses as yet.

@shaunm80 Glad you're working now, so have you finished your Uni or is this placement part of it?

All good here thanks mate, been spending my time on our Motorcycle exploring the Island and been loving it... :)

Yes the Z28 is an Awesome car not quite as fast around the corners as the GT40 but well fun to drive.

Just got Gold on Suzuka GT3 with your R8 LMS powered up to 630pp and it still handles well.. Well done with that tune, you definitely took that wild horse by the raines and tamed it.

Cheers

I have one year left in Uni and on placements before I qualify. Still a lot of work to do but it will all be over next August. Life is far too busy right now.
