Hi folks,

looks like this 5 lap N1 tyre event without tuning could be a lot of fun :sly:

Just had the first go and my best laptime was a 2:30...total 12:54... :scared:

Hope to see you guys there :cheers:

:gtpflag:
 
I will be trying this tonight 👍
 
I just did put my son to napkins... now to test how my drift-skills works in Prologue. :scared:
 
I'll definitely be on here tonight - there'll be no falling asleep at the wheel in this event.
 
:gtpflag:Now thats more like it:gtpflag:
 
Hahaa... this is totally grazy-combo from PD, but I like it!

We will here first time see, how some 'not so experienced-drivers' give room for faster guys at corners, and let them pass nicely inside. ;)

Yepp it´s very nice combo 👍.
I´m pretty sure that we see those 'not so experienced-drivers' only once in that event, because they will be never able to finish all 5 laps within the 45sec countdown, like the three other guys in my first race :sly:

lol, you will be not alone 👍


2nd race Laptime update: best 2:28:... total time 12:41.. still with a lot of mistakes:nervous:
 
I will try to give you all "pros" room, but with N1 tyres you'll have to forgive a few mistakes :scared:


This event sounds like fun 👍
 
I will pop in later. Love the F430. :)
 
Very trickey for me. Best time in free-run just then a 2'31.1xx.

Definately a combo for the wheel and pedal guys amongst us :(

Entering xx20 anyway :)
 
Ok, looks like all the good guys are in this event so I guess I'll be signing up :)

Please be patient with my N1 Sixaxis "skills".

All the best

I should really say "Wheel users and Jack".

:D :D :D

Off to test now! See what I can do...... Im guessing lots of smoke and facing backwards :)
 
you really have to be concentrated all 12 and a half minutes of every race in this event.
But it's actually lots of fun.

First race: 12'36, 2'29.919 best lap
 
Are people using TCS? I just entered a race and with TCS off I could only manage a '32.2xx but then in free run with it on I hit a '30.7xx and it wasnt a great lap.

I would rather not use it but if everyone else is....

Edit: Starting to pick up some sort of speed! TCS OFF best free is a 30.2! Can see a 29 coming :)

Nope, no tcs for me.
2nd race, not really that good, lots of mistakes. Sorry for getting in the way couple of times Mr_V. :guilty:

@ Zocker_16: nice pace mate, couldn't follow you at all. then started to push more to try to hang on and got even slower :ouch:

LMAO i am glad you beat me now Maz, i just had a go and may as well have been driving on a beach, i couldn't stay out of the sand :crazy:
 
New PB for me: 2'29.452! Replay saved if any SixAxis racers what to look 👍

You and Timeattack are aliens on a Sixaxis, you need your own classification.

Thanks!
This was my fastest race so far 12.32 overall and also with my fastest laptime 2.28,1xx :)
 
After trying it now I dont understand why PD picked N1, maybe thinking about drifters? stock tire would have bin better. But I guess it will grow on me ;)

Did a 2.29, no drift.

Are you guys setting these laptimes by drifting? Or by minimising the amount of drifting?

Not really! Can help to slide it into some but Im trying to keep it as straight as possible.
