GT6 'MY HOME' HUB: Awards time.

[photonrider]

How, when & where do I tell u my planned event?

You may start a Conversation with me anytime if you wish to discuss any details or have any questions. 👍
The Design-an-Event Ticket you have gives you the privilege of creating an event (as per all the rules pertaining to that event) based on this Current Beginner A-Spec Seasonals - or you may hold on to that ticket and use it for the next Beginner A-Spec Seasonals. If you do not use it for this seasonals or the next the ticket becomes invalid. Challenges must be initiated with a legible leaderboard graphic which should be placed in this thread - I will then pick it up and lay it out in the OP. You need not provide a title - as Titles have to conform with the AUP and also act as a mnemonic I retain the right to vet it.

I'll keep the Intermediate ticket to design.

Thanks, Steve. This means the title of 'Subie Killer' goes to the Baron and well-earned I might add. IIRC, you still have a Ticket for the Beginners (which will expire this round)? Use it or lose it.

You in charge, doesn't matters.

Yeah. Do it. The RMan Effect means that even if you are in P3 there is a possibility of winning a title. So in addition to enjoying the challenge itself, getting on the Board may prove to be fruitful.

RMan Effect one asks?
Ah! Yes. Nearly happened last round - would have caused a bit of shuffle in the way the leaderboards played out at the end. So we have an Amendment to the GT Hunter Constitution - The RMan Effect - is now in effect and will affect the Whoosier-rule (actually strengthens it - phew! )

More later for those who couldn't figure out what happened.

The definition will be eventually placed in Post#2 for all those who wish to read and understand the rules of this seemingly complex game we play within the game.

Oh my gosh a VW bus challenge!!! I won just the other day using that bus, just to see if it was possible. for now, I suppose I'll submit the first time I did with that. Wasn't too fast, but it's something

I guess there are quite a few old hippies here. So let's get rolling in the old Vee-dub.

@RMan72 What did you do to Rivers to beat him by 8s? He was always 2 or 3 behind for me.

@wahthewalrus I think we need to have a whip-round to buy you a new TV.

I wanna try a computer monitor. I just need a good way to hook up audio to it.

And I do agree, this tv is terrible; I can't read anything when playing most any game

Stock 120i Trophy.

Had half-a-dozen shies at it - interesting challenge.

JGTC ringleader.. I think that's an eligible car.



Edit. Faster me, slower AI.

 

[Baron Blitz Red]

Made a mistake... OOOOOPS

Cheers

 

[RacingHardTV]

For the "Ringleader"

Cheers

Only JGTC race cars. Their build year must be >>1993 to 2004<<. 2005 and newer is GT500.

I know I'm not a Licenced GT Hunter but thought I'd have a go at the Stock 120i Trophy, car handles well stock just lacks power and automatic transmission kills acceleration in a few corners. Think a win is achievable with the right grid

EDIT
Time with CH tyres

photonrider forgot to mention this, the tyres are supposed to be CH, not CS.
@photonrider , can you fix that asap?

 

[steve nfs]

I think the BMW 120i event is just to kill time, cos nobody know is it really using a stock car to compete. My 2 cents.

It's restricted to licensed hunters, and we trust each other.

Sorry, man, cannot enter that, I have to disregard it according to the rules.
The events have different Classes for many reasons - all well-thought out and worked rigorously in these Ciontests from the beginning.
There is actually no need to cross Classes - there is something for everyone - and yes, there will be more events up soon to satisfy as many palates as possible in this round.
If you are interested in doing 'bone stock' events - and that means nothing touched, not even tires changes don't fail to have a look in here:

https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/thre...ch-gt500-01-14-to-02-11.341294/#post-11192984

The above is a vitally important thread. As many Stock Runs as possible should be contributed to it (taking into consideration that the racer contributing is honest and correct about the settings involved) as this is significant information for all players when applying themselves to selecting cars for the Seasonal events.

So as not to clash with that thread, our stock runs are 'classified' and limited to a select group that have objectively earned that right via participation and trophies gained, and we like them to have those rights honoured, also considering that those rights (formally know and explained in three words - Vic Reign Rights -) bar them from other Classes.

I hope this explains the philosophy and we move on, battling in every Class we're eligible for - and placing ourselves on the various Boards judiciously for the most satisfying outcome at the end.

We must not forget, too - that this thread is primarily an analysis of AI behaviour under all sorts of conditions, and that the events are actually subtle experiments towards the gleaning of this data as we move through the Series.

A reading of this AI Hub Thread from the beginning will actually makes this whole post redundant.

Cheers, all!

All of these challenges require trust, if someone cheats to win then that's just sad

 

[TRL_Andromeda]

True.
Luckily I'm here. and I can tell what is possible and what is not. so if someone is cheating, we will most likely know.


edit:
had a go with the bimmer, I love how this thing handles on these CH tyres!
Found a field with what is maybe not the slowest rabbit, but as it pans out only 1 of them get in my way, instad of almost all of them. (I cannot overtake -mid turn and out of turn- in turn 4 and 8)
Before I found this field, I thought 6:26 was the limit.
In this run, the white golf got in my way in turn 4, lap 2, but thats all.
This time is good, very good.

 

[wahthewalrus]

Had another go with the VW Hippywagon before I go to work. I shaved off a wopping 2 tenths
new time: 6'09.444

Also, I tried a different camera to hopefully make it a little bit easier trying to read that

Great time, any chance at a look at the replay to see where I'm losing time?

As a matter of fact, yes, I saved the replay. I'll zip it up and send it to you when I can.

I've made a couple of attempts at this:

My best so far with the Xanavi Nismo GTR '03:

My best so far with the Takata Dome NSX '03:

I always have trouble getting past the first AI car on the course, but after the first pass, the rest of the lap un-folds reasonably well.​

 

[StirlingMoose]

Not sure this is really a legible graphic - I think it says 6:17.901. I'm sure I'll be back with a better time and better pic at some point. Stock no aids. It's fun. Brakes are a bit fierce but not too bad once you get the hang of it.

Stock and just abs to start off. First thought - Crikey, they're a bit nippy. Had a few, erm... warm-up races, trying to remember braking points and missing most of them. Once I'd got the track down and had a proper go it was looking futile, well down and not catching up by lap three, but surprisingly was only 3s behind at the line. Won it next go. It seems they feel pity for you and slow down. The leaders were running laps 5s slower than their best at the end. Thanks chaps.
Oh and RH, really? No wonder they kept trying to take a dive down the inside.

We don't have enough slowest winning time challenges.
