Extreme SETUP F1 World Championship Season1 (postponed until further notice)

Guys I open practice lobby a bit later today I have a indoor kart race in 3 hours I think I open lobby 30-40 mins later today
 
Well lets hope it's possible Schumacher can heal up from his injuries, I was skiing yesterday actually, but not at near the level he is at... It's been so damn cold here, I didn't last very long but always fun once in a while. This morning here it was -15 F / -26 C.

I am hoping immortal, that if I practice for the first race of the year I will not be 4 secs/lap off the pace because I'm missing out on some magical aid. So far in GT6 it seems like I'm a bit slower than I was in our GT5 races. It could just be I'm not used to the new tracks, and I probably learn slower than your TRL friends so maybe I just need practice.

Car drives great at Bathurst, nothing like blasting down the hill at 240 mph (oh wait were running stock, stock gears mean we'll be hitting the rev limiter. :(). Anyways will be fun to see if anyone can hang with immortal and beat him without a DC or other problem. I still don't know what color sky and I are supposed to use? I know immortal felt threatened with all the pts Bianchi scored last season, it was probably rather intimidating. :sly:

Maybe we can pick a blue car (think there's a light blue one, not on my PS3 at a hotel) and pretend were Team SKY you know the Chris Froome team.

It's not really a light blue more a mint green but that might just be my tv settings slightly off

Sorry I missed practice guys but I'm fully ready for silverstone did some practice with cb,sick,dk tonight and was easily on pace with them looking forward to first race

Hey Sky, I'll be driving whatever color works for you, as I have then all. The Redbull cars should be due out tomorrow, maybe even after new year's eve is out. I'm sure I'll be blasting around in them a fair bit until GT7 comes out. :lol:
 
I'm using the black/chrome fgt for setup Championship as it's fully ready to race got 3 fgts now working on getting the rest
 
Guys I have a big problem yesterday on my second world record stint my wheel got brocken its not more possible to drive with it , we must start 2 weeks later then I have a new wheel really sorry to say it to you guys but I want to drive also.
 
Every great driver has to adapt to technical malfunctions and parts missing from their car and other things, remember Senna's first win at his home grand prix in Brazil, 1991... he was stuck in sixth gear and had searing pain and still won... you can surely do without a wheel for a race or three... it would be interesting to see how you'll adapt... totally respect you are the fastest driver in Gran Turismo but I think everyone's estimation of you will go even higher if you're able to compete without everything perfect, like Senna...

I'd like some extra time anyways, I dont really have the tracks down yet. :nervous: Although you seem to have so much gear around I'm surprised you can just plug another wheel in!

Are we not doing teams/contructors this season?
 
Personally I don't mind a ds3 I've put many top drivers on gt5 to shame in TT events using a ds3 and I'm not to bad on gt6 with it either but I have to say it takes more skill and is much harder to be consistant with a ds3 than a wheel thou you can still be mighty quick with it but you end up with sore hands after a hour and a half race
 
The controller should be faster than the steering wheel, and it is easier because the game compensates. Apparently GT6 was made with the more casual user in mind and the DS3 functionality supports that. Though I would never use one because it feels horrible so I don't blame you Immortal, I don't mind waiting a week or two, but I still would like a race where I have a third of a chance to beat you lol

Overtaking
Just because you’re quicker, doesn't mean you’re going to pass the car in front at the next corner, he has a right to defend as much as you do to attack. Always remember that the race isn’t won on the first lap. Wait for an opportunity to present itself and take the overtake. If a driver out breaks himself into a corner, you are free to attempt that over take, likewise when generally overtaking, if your car is at least next to the drivers window of the car you are attempting to overtake, you are free to continue on that line.

If you’re going to ride some one's bumper, make sure you know the effect of slip streaming and how that funnels into early braking for corners, infact this is a general rules everyone should know about, but sadly some people ‘forget’. When following another car in a slipstream (For example, going into Turn 1 at Fuji) you will need to do one of two things; (A) Break early to avoid a collision. (B) You are close enough to attempt an overtake and will move to the inside line.

Defending
You’re defending your position, so chances are the guy behind you is quicker than you right now. But that’s no problem, because you have the advantage of choosing your line through every corner. But that doesn’t mean you can go wide into a corner and then slam the door shut by swerving back in 3 inches in-front of the car behind you. Make sure you know where the guy behind you is, if you know he’s going for an overtake then remember to leave room for him either on the outside or inside of the corner.

When the car behind you is in your slipstream, it is considered incredibly rude and unsportsmanlike to swerve all over the track to break the slipstream. The F1WC follows the ‘One Move Rule’ where you can make one legitimate move whilst defending a line (This may be moving from the outside, to the inside of a corner forcing your competitor to take a slower line). Equally, learn how to out-smart your opponent. If he has your slipstream into a slow corner (Turn 1 at Fuji for example) try to brake early, or at your usual braking point instead of braking late to compensate for his slipstream. He’s going to brake early anyway, and if he doesn’t then he’ll go wide and you’ll have had the quicker line through the corner.

Cutting Corners
This one is quite simple. At least two wheels must remain in contact with the track at all times possible. Curbs are counted as part of the track. That green asphalt you see just behind the curb? That’s not part of the track. Those handy white lines they paint at the edge of the tracks are what defines the track edges.

Racing in a pack
This is where most people usually screw up. When racing in a group of three cars or more, it is imperative that you remember to brake early for corners or move off-line to avoid contact with the car in front of you. Failure to do so could result in a penalty for dangerous driving.

When racing in a pack where all competitors are producing, what would appear to be similar pace, there is no need to try and jump through every gap on every corner. Sit back, let the battle wear out whilst you preserve your tyres a bit and analyse where each opponent is weakest so that you can capitalise on those weaknesses when you attempt to move forward. That doesn’t mean to say you can’t overtake of course! This is simply to stop people causing accidents by not being sensible.

Lapping
When being lapped, it is mandatory that you let the lapping car past you. There’s no need to pull over and slam the brakes, if you’re fighting for position then it’s a lot harder to let a lapping car through and we understand that. But if a lapping car is right behind you, go wide at the next corner, or just move off line to allow them past. Equally, when lapping a car in front of you, make sure to give them some room, don’t pressure them into a mistake or barge your way through.

Now this is what i call a nice set of rules!
This should be a sticky called Racing rules.
Im serious!
Cheers

For me its not about whats faster, I'ts about the simulation

How in the world can a ds3 be easier , you don't have half as much steering,brake,throttle control as a wheel,pedals do.
Having a high sensitivity on the ds3 can cause major issues in a car such as a fgt added to the fact your trying to throttle,brake,shift,with one hand the other is steering,shifting,looking back,adjusting brake balance if the ds3 was easier immortal and other top guys would use it instead of having thrust masters,g27s,and other wheels GT6 is a sim and always will be if it was ment for a ds3 why the hell are there more wheel type button,function settings than any other game

shame about your wheel pilot, I hope you get it fixed m8. if you cant tho I understand that you don't want to use the ds3, so if we have to wait its no problem m8.

The game compensates for it (I came across this browsing a few threads).

Setups are also different using a wheel too, Vv-Optimus-vV showed me his HSV setup and it was IMPOSSIBLE to drive the car with a wheel, especially in corner entrance and under braking (1 / 5 ) but with the DS3 it was perfect and fast.

Immortal would still be fastest because of his talent, just as you would be very fast if you used a wheel - I can only guess he doesn't use it, because like me and JB, he finds the feeling horrible and knows that the DS3 is not true simulation racing because it compensates on throttle and braking, it doesn't allow in any meaningful way the feel of things like bumps, turbulence, loss of grip, things that would have you second guess throttle, etc...
 
Maybe immortal could still beat me with the DS3 on some tracks I dont like. :banghead:

I still dont feel like I have a great setup for the FGT, but I'll keep messing with it.

The setup you gave me with the adjustments I suggested got me within a second of cb today half tank softs 1:28.5 and surprisingly half tank hards I was lapping 29s few adjustments and I can see high 27s

I'm gonna give it a go tonight to see. 1:27.5 is out of range for me I think (as cb did). The one nice thing is that idea I gave you seems like a universal thing for all tracks as it worked last night in leyba's room at 4 or 5 diff tracks. I just feel I'm missing something more in my driving style as immortal was 3 secs faster or more in the stock race at Silverstone, and I was 3.5 sec on average down at Ascari which is massive and farther back than I've ever been. I am currently only 1.5 sec off the WR in the Lancia TT so I just dont know what the deal is. I remember a typical TT all out for me in GT5 was 1.4-1.6 sec off WR, so in the series that's a typical thing I shoot for.

Just to give you a heads up immortal was doing upper 1:27s/1:28s at Ascari so lap times there are only a touch longer than Silverstone. That really made me upset as most people struggle to break 1:35 at Ascari. :lol:

Iam looking tomorrow maybe i can fix my wheel but when not i need to get a new one, with ds3 is not racing thats horrible driving

Good Luck fixing it or getting a new wheel :) not a chance in hell would i use a pad.
An i dont mean that negative against pad players but when you play with wheel an you drive good an you know what to do, its heart breaking
 
I had 10mins Practice with Cb then a 5 lap Race..
My Fastest Lap 1.26.2xx on Lap 4.
Starting Lap5 1st Sector i was .6 faster had a great exit out of brooklands but lost it out onto gravel. neither less happy enough :)
