Can someone help me with a vectorized layout of Apricot Hill Racetrack? I've googled it but is much easier to find for real life tracks. I need to print and write all my markers on it for this TT.

EDIT: I've managed to make one, if you need vectorized track layouts feel free to ask me, I have some...

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the replay stores the PSN info of the account you logged into (on the PS3) whether it is logged on to the network or not.
Hard luck on the grip reduction though. I really wish that option would stick like the SRF on/off does.

When I watched that replay back it didnt display my PSN name in the loading screen, and my earlier one which was connected did so just thought there would be no way of telling it was from my PSN account. Could be wrong though.

Yeah resetting the grip reduction every time a pain but i probably wont forget now!
 
There is a lot of information embedded in the replay file that cant be seen. The admins here have worked something out which allows them to see all of this info.
 
Damn, I reversed the last two digits of my T2. Should I edit the message or post a new reply?
 
My best split so far after about 30 minutes running.
24.955
50.529
Man that entry to the first turn is quite tricky aye. Hahaha. Such a good car/track combo!

24.725
50.400
And then I stuffed my exit on the last corner for going out way too hot. Lol :indiff:

Alright done for the day. I'll come back to it tomorrow after work =)

Smashed my PB twice last night. First time my PS3 wasn't connected to the internet for some reason so wouldnt of came up with my PSN name in the replay. Didnt matter though as broke that record only to realise I hadnt set the grip reduction to "real"..... Oooops :banghead:

Guess il start again tonight! :D

Ouch. Yep it sucks when that happens.

Pff, you call that an excuse? :p

You've still got a couple D2 guys ahead of you yourself! :sly:

I've managed to improve my lap mainly due to making up 2.5 tenths on the last sector (but being nearly 2 tenths behind at T2 :indiff:) so once I sort out my best sectors in one lap I'll be back!

Bahh, those guys are wolves in sheep's clothing :sly: But in seriousnous, some great laps across the board from D2 and I wouldn't be upset if I get beaten by them 👍 I'll do my best to try not to let it happen though, granted :lol:
 
Slight improvement last night..

0 abs

24.633
50.167

Gained a little in s1, lost a little on s2, but had a cracking s3..

Can get .400 extra in s1, then just mess rest of lap up :banghead:
 
That PB was way beyond my attempts today. I'm not sure of the second sector, probably that too, but the laptime was more than 0.4 s slower. I took both a sector based approach (2/3 mostly) and 38 minutes of continuous laps.
 
@jonjig Just out of curiosity, why is it that you post your abs setting with your splits?

An excuse for slow times?

no but seriously.. your table doesn't show aids used, if I was using TC, I'd put the setting there too..

Ok here we go

Lots of room for improvement, combo is great fun. Easy to make conservative, repetitive laps. Not so easy to take it to the limit. Been asking around and nobody seems to agree with me, but I still think GT6 is more DS3 friendly than GT5.
Off to a great start :)

Being one of those guys that's just a head of you gives me a boost of convidence considering I've seen a lot of your YouTube videos and know how quick you are.Do feel I'm punching above my weight on this combo by quite a margin.

New improvement on splits but only a 0.027 improvement at the line

T1 24.178
T2 49.211
 
Finally managed to improve my time somehow...got a clean lap in with a sub 25 first sector, went quicker in S1 before but then messed up. No idea how you guys improve consistently :confused:, I get worse the more I practice (bar 1 decent lap)..kudos to you all for managing it. Anyway, the new splits, even if I am unhappy with them, are:

S1: 24.950
S2: 50.433
 
OK it's getting better but not very quickly. I really am kinda clueless as to how to get faster. I can see where I can be a bit faster in my replays but am not really 'getting it'. I can see it just don't know how to do it!

24.614
49.964

Right, because we leave the optional aids up to each user. They have no bearing on the ranking. If you choose a setting that slows you down, whether that's ABS 0, ASM on, or TCS 5, we really don't care, either way.

We rank you based on your splits, so we recommend that you choose the settings that make you fastest. If you choose to do otherwise, that's your right. But you won't be getting "credit" for it anywhere.

[update]

I added a new time that is only slightly faster, but faster all around. I did not record the Splits so they will not show up here. My time has also been recorded by the Artificial Intelligence created right here that we all know and love...FetchBot.

I wasn't asking for credit.. I answered a question from oink83,

Have I done something wrong by choosing to add my settings to my times? or did you misread and are trying to crush arrogance that wasn't there?
 
Got a little bit hooked on taking pictures in GT6, so here are this weeks pictures :)

Ugh, been a frustrating day. Been running laps for an hour or two and I've been at least .4 behind my yesterdays best lap the whole time. It feels like I've totally forgotten how to take that second lefthander properly, it's so annoying!

This newbie might need to learn some new tricks to see more improvement, personal driving lessons anyone? :D
