You know what? I lied. I've learned I have a Sixaxis and not a DS3. Strange I thought it was the same. Differences aside though, we all know what's really going on.
 
Feel free to add me as well. Don't use DS3 though, I use a controller (the absolutely brilliant FUS1ON tournament controller from PowerA). :)
 
I will add you later. I like to use the DS3 without any aids, only the ABS is on. But you can add me if you login first.

Just put a 1:25:305 on Ascari. Really loved driving & challenging against the 8 different racing lines.
 
Hello all pad users, I am an old timer with only a few online mates and would welcome anybody adding me on there friends list for racing and time comparisons. My psn tag is TURISMOJOE.

Cheers Joe
 
I use a ds3 which I broke the rumbles wires on while cleaning (don't ask). I prefer the heavier pad because I am less likely to throw it at the telly or wall while missing on the gold licenses by 0.001 again and again and again :-)
 
So much we could offer or learn from others.

It's a pity that we can only race along 8 friends.
But it's good that we are forming a small but an influential community of fair racers!:gtpflag:
 
Please feel free to add as I need players to race with. I have mostly been using the controller but also have a wheel.

You can all add me as I have a single friend who plays GT6.

Today managed a time of 1:23:806, about one hundredth of your time.

I was for the 1st half ahead of You but You are stronger in the second part of the lap.

This track is so much fun that no one can ever get bored of this TT in a hurry!

If you're talking about Ascari then it's probably 2:23.806, right? :D
I'm really proud of myself. I'm 187th currently (I believe) and about a year ago I wasn't even dreaming about getting near the top 1000 (I was around the 20,000th place in GT5 mostly) and now I've got in top 200. I was also 889th on Deep Forest after I did it, probably over 1000th now sooooo I just hope I'll keep up with the good performance.

Yes was talking about Ascari!

Your racing lines should help others get better. Like I said, every one may invariably help each other in some or the other aspect.

The thing that helped me the most was watching 1st guys cornering techniques so I also started kinda sliding through the corners which can lead to sharper turns without losing that much speed.

If You were to compare Your times with mine, we go hand in hand as sometimes I'm ahead & sometimes You are.

You ultimately get the better of me at the back straight. You gain much more speed, which means Your transmission settings are better than mine.

Today again managed a time of 2:23:9xx, a 10th slower than my best of 2:23:807.

I've just changed the max speed.

Keep ranging it between 250 (for faster speed on the back straight) & 220 (for better acceleration through the medium corners).

Any suggestions on this?

I think that option is ON because I'm not that great a racer with my DS3.

Would switching off the SRF make a positive difference, just like how switching off ASM makes a good difference.

It will make you a better driver in the long run but SFR is frowned upon here at GTPlanet as it gains you multiple seconds per lap by giving you much more grip.

If you wanted to enter into a race series on here or the WRS you are required to turn all aids off apart from ABS.

But at the end of the day, whatever makes you happy but after playing with no aids and the control over the car you have its hard to use them again.

There was a time I couldn't think of driving without ASM but once I turned it off, got the feel of the car & learnt to control the car along with posting faster times.

The reason I had kept SRF on at Ascari because hadn't completed a full lap on this track before this TT.

Will turn SRF off tomorrow.
 
I also would like some times to compare with as most of my usual friends don't play GT . Same name as here CKVK . I use abs 1 only.

I've been using SRF primarily with powerful MR cars as my driving style is fairly heavy thumbed in conjunction with TCS 1 or 2 and I have always had difficulty with the MR (either light or heavy) cars due to my driving style. I had a go at Ascari here with TCS 1 and SRF off and found the heavy thumb was a distinct disadvantage but managed a qualifying gold time. I was able to match your pace at times but was found out by the end of the lap. A few reruns (all red flagged) saw differing results as far as matching splits went, I can see that some practice will see me a chance of matching your times.

I think for the purposes of matching DS3 times as we are doing here there needs to be parity in regards to settings used by the racers. I noticed one of the blokes on my list was using TCS 5, SRF off. From my experience, having such a high TCS figure actuaally slowed me down as if my car was sliding through a corner the TCS kicking in would slow the car down. In this case I have usually beaten this bloke's times and I would put it down to that figure playing a fair part in it.

I would suggest that if we are going to do this here we all use TCS 1 or 2, ABS 1, and SRF off. At least then that gives us a more equal line in terms of our times. Not that I'm an anti-SRF Nazi....but for the purposes of what we are doing here it makes no sense to have some with strong aids turned on and some not. I'm happy to go TCS 1, ABS 1, everything else off. I will however note it if there is an event that is beyond golding for me without other aids.
 
Eh why not? You can all add me too. Please put GTP or GTPlanet in the friend request though.

I would mate but i already have loads of people i raced with since GT5 and we all use all aids off.
I promise you now, use no aids for a week and i guarantee you won't go back.
 
New to the site, feel free to add me to PSN. I'm a casual driver, but none of my PSN friends play GT6, would like to push and improve myself - if possible :)


Edit- PSN name = iamlanky
