Chris my eyes just lit up like a christmas tree!
I've been secretly hoping for you to put us in either of the Subies since I joined this competition!! (IRL I drive a USDM/CADM my04 STi ('03 year in England)). Then you pair it with Suzuka!! I'm in my glory! It's like a late present from across the pond!
I can't wait to give this a go! ...doesn't mean I'll be fast though, I'll still be at the bottom!!

 

[spyrrari]

nice combo Chris....did 3 quick laps to check it out today,but its not my kind of car....but driving it on suzuka is always a good challenge....


anyway,just a question mate,howmany races have you planned for this championship??....



spyrrari.

 

[chrisr1984]

i thought about 12 races per season

and ill just keep running the seasons till gt5 is released..

the past 9 weeks have flown by for me so its a good excuse

only 52 more to go

im also thinking about splitting up the six axis users, but it depends on how many users they are. (of cause this will take effect next season) so any ideas would be nice

 

[P1]

Are there any certain rules to this or just the same rules as the IFTC

 

[chrisr1984]

rules are at the top..

ive tried to keep it as simple as possible but at the same time fair.

anyone can join tho.

 

[Flyin' STi]

Are there many of us using SixAxiS for the current season?
Obviously I am, how many others?

*edit* one thing I dont like about the TT's is the brake bias. It's set/locked at 50/50 and (IMO) should be more closer to 70/30 for most stock/unmodified vehicles. I know, I know, it's prologue not the full complete GT5, still though....
also, the 07 STi power distribution shouldn't be 35front/65rear it's actually only transferable to 44fr/56rr from 50/50 , the 04 STi DCCD was 35fr/65rr.....sorry, i'm just nitpickin'

im using a pad too

 

[chrisr1984]

you see what im thinking for next season is that six axis drivers get bonus points.. but i need to find a way to prove what controller they are using..

i could do it by the times they put in.. but its not very accurate.

 

[osrg]

nice combo Chris....did 3 quick laps to check it out today,but its not my kind of car....


spyrrari.

Amen to that Spyrrari........ it's very lazy and feels sooooo sloppy with understeer (with my poor driving skills anyways ). I honestly have no idea how Hollo is way down in the 19's........ that just defies logic to me.

I expect you to leap up the leaderboard in the next few days though...

yeah,the car feels very lazy and non exiting indeed...

its probably a good idea to not be too agressive if you want to set a quick lap in this car...as you said ,you will just loose time/speed because of understeer...👎

am sure to move up the rankings ,but i dont have a lot of time the comming days(work starts again...)but maybe later today i can have a go if the missus goos shopping...

[Mad94d]

Now i've got a GTP tag, could I use my GTP tag (GTP_mad94d) and add any points I get to mad94d?

 

[chrisr1984]

if you really want i can change it sure, but dont keep changing.

that we be better yeh hehe

 

[balang_479]

i use pad as well... one day i will have a nice wheel...

 

[Mad94d]

I'm sort of like holl01 here. I'm phasing out my other username. So I won't keep changing. Reason I wanted to change was because my GTP_username just got accepted.
Thanks for letting me change it.👍

Just had a go at this. when I first started doing it I was 3.5 seconds slower than holl01. Then I noticed that you have to short shift. Instantly jumped straight up to 6th.

I noticed that too... you gotta shift 1k rpm before redline, the power really dies out...

 

[chrisr1984]

ive not tried it yet, i may have a go this evening if i get time.

 

[Flyin' STi]

I noticed that too... you gotta shift 1k rpm before redline, the power really dies out...

thats exactly what i do as well, I shift around 7000-7200rpm's...after that the boost starts to taper off... to be honest when I drive @ the track (in real life), I shift around 62-6500rpm's, after that it falls flat, different gearing, turbo & EM than the new 07+ but same 2.5L engine..

 

[osrg]

Well, i managed to drag, hustle, push, prod and plead with the STi to move from P25 to P10 (until Chris removes me from there) ....... it's a very very tough car to drive quickly and not wash speed.

 

[Mad94d]

I surprised myself and got up to 2nd earlier today. I think I did a 2'19.7xx. Might be little bit more speed left but there won't be enough to catch dan.

It doesn't surprise me young fella...... your skills are top notch, and i have a feeling there isn't anyone near your age worldwide who could hold a candle to your times and abilities, and there are only a few of any age who can surpass you.... superb time:tup:

well done kiddo...👍....wont be long untill you are on Dans level i guess....
what do you aussies eat in the morning???turbo cerials???........hahah..lol.

i hope i can create enough time this week to do a few more laps......


spyrrari.

 

[LordNem]

Fair play! That was one hell of a jump! Next time dont forget to take me with you...

I think its time to try again, and again, and again.... I need to improve my driving lines and stop wasting speed by over breaking

 

[Mad94d]

Thanks everyone.

By the way spyrrari, we eat weat-bix for breakfast. I think it's only sold in Australia. Anyway it's meant to give you energy.

We have Weetabix (and now Oatabix) in the UK as well.

The new GT5P formula is clearly HDTV, G25 + Weetabix now

All the best

I drive go karts, and have been driving since I was 7. I've also been playing car games with a wheel since I was 3, but my dad had to do the pedals for me.
I also played the grand prix series on pc.
