CD you really need to join when we are casual racing. You will then see for yourself how fast TA, tony, nissman etc are. I see your mate also has doubts about the times. So why dont we put this too bed by yous 2 joining nissmans lobby and tony or ta will show how its done.

Hey Ho, don´t drag me into this. I´m a GTPlanet friend with
CD for totally other reasons than the debat in this thread.(We was in a same serie).

I have raced many times with Tony, Nissman and You. You´re actually my PS3 friends all of You.:)👍

So I now that You´re really fast and I now its all about
practicing. I´m myself not that far away from 1´05 at Deep
Forest anymore.:sly:

I posted here earlier that Racing Softs is the right tire for a
GT500 car, (if You search realism). I don´t really get how You think that I doubt Your times from that.....

EDIT: You probably didn´t meant me.:)👍

Thanks for the invite and I mean this most sincerely and without malice, but I won't join a series where I don't think I can be competitive and based on the lap times I've seen here I can't compete. This might be old fashioned and not politically correct, but I race to win or at least compete for a podium and until I can tune my car and/or my driving skills to get to that point I won't join. If I crash out or lose to 5 guys that are slightly faster than me that's ok, but if I'm not in the hunt I lose interest fast. It's not fun for me to run 40 laps 3 seconds off the pace and get lapped. Besides, I don't want to take up a grid spot from someone who could compete it would be a waste.

So I'll keep tweaking and practicing and joining open lobbys to race and hopefully shave off those precious couple of seconds. As I said before I know nothing about tuning but I have been trying different things the last couple of days and I've got my cars to the point where, absent of direct comparison to you guys, they seem incredibly fast and grippy, but I still can't get the times down much. I'm missing some key ingredient in the setup I'm sure so I'll keep hunting!!!

Thanks for the tune Nissman. Any help anyone else wants to throw out there would be useful. Anyone? Set ups? Driving techniques? Running through the descriptions of entire laps with corner apex speeds, gear selection etc? Does anyone use a DFGT wheel? Do you think different wheels produce better lap times? Anyone directly connected to the net as opposed to a router? Think it makes a difference in grip lost through lag? I have a million questions...lol. I've got to know...
 
Ha ha, I just realized you weren't inviting me...lol...isn't that embarassing...:scared:
 
Which car is that tune for Nissman?
 
Triple post :indiff:

Tune is for motul autech GTR '08.
 
Will there be a lobby open after GP?
 
i would love to join however mondays is not really good for me at the moment for the next month or so....

anyway i think i will be battleing at the back of the pack hehe:)
 
Update....what a difference an empty tank makes...lol. I took your set up Nissman, which was already pretty close to mine and started running a few laps and then I thought, what the heck, I'll just keep going and see what difference the fuel load makes. So every so many laps I'd change tires but not fill up the tank and the times dropped fairly consistently maybe 4-5/10ths with each set of fresh tires and the handling improved. I was able to go flat out eventually from the last left hard left hander, through the esses all the way to the 2nd/3rd gear left hander in the tunnel.

Eventually I got down to a 1:16.5, on Trial Mountain, which I didn't think was possible for me, but the big difference I think, was the fuel load. I did start to take some slightly different lines, with slightly later turn in's and later apex's and it did help shave off a tenth or two here or there. I also started dropping to second gear in the right hander before the last two corners, for just a second and found it brought the nose around quicker and allowed earlier power on.

I know I expressed some doubts, but I pursued this with the goal in mind that those times were possible with my DFGT wheel which is why I've probably run 150laps to find this speed. I have to say thanks to you Nissman, not just for the tune , but for making this post and giving me the laps times because it motivated me to put some effort into finding that speed and I'm a much better driver for it. I've still got a long ways to go...lol.
 
Oh yeah, the above was done online, with no AIDS but ABS=1 in case anyone is wondering, with the usual tire wear and fuel depletion on. No corner cutting either, at least two wheels on the tarmac at all times.

There you go Yuri, if you set you mind to it the impossible is possible. 👍

BTW 16.5 is a solid time, I think you would be running in the middle of the pack in our event.

The best time I heard of in Trial mountin is 14.8. My PB is 15.1 done yesterday.

P.S. I never put in 2nd gear in Trail Mountian. Try to go with 3rd gear in the right hander going out of tunnel in 1st sector then try to go with 4th in fast left hander going in to the longest tunnel. I'm sure you'll find a few tenths more.

I did some GT500 racing last night and I was consistently second for about 2 hours. The host, who regularly hosts a room like this is a second or two faster on every track, with times that are comparable to your fastest times. I saved some of the replays and watched him drive and I'm fairly certain there is nothing special about his driving lines, or throttle and brake technique, it was pretty much identical to mine. But it's obvious in the replays he has much more mechanical grip than I do and can do things turning wise that I cannot. I could not, no matter what, stay with him even with the draft, his cornering speeds are just too high.

So I've got to start working on some kind of radical set up to see if I can figure this out. I asked him for his setup and he doesn't want to share...figures!!
 
Did you check his corner speeds, thats where the difference is made.

What was hes PSN id?

I'll open a room shorty...

Room Number: 1472 - 6681 - 3630 - 4567 - 6644

Round 3 Trial Mountian Results.

I realy enjoyed this one,was the best race I had in our series. Fast, clean fights for 2nd in first 15 laps, while tony pulled up a gap in front. Had some tyre wear issues in middle part of race lost some time and had a little spin at the end. Was hoping for a podium finish in Trial Mountian but still happy with the results.

When's your next lobby going to be open?
 
Sorry I missed the racing but got roped into other things. Hoping to get some in on sat & sun to get ready for Monday:tup:

Off course WSB takes priority:)
 
Opening a lobby for a few warm up races before our championship race tonight.

Room Number: 1472 - 6399 - 8665 - 9408 - 2690
 
Why 532hp? Don't know much about GT500 cars, but I thought they can have 500hp or less according to rules..? The reason I'm asking this is that I'm arranging a GT500 time trial for our team, and it would be nice to have some lap times to compare them with.

Broken-in GT500 cars have more than 500 hp in GT. After some testing we decided to set the hp limit to 532 for all cars as they seem to perform equally at this level.
