Pitting in...

Some of you may notice I am new, but I hope I am accepted.

Anyway, on to the question at hand:

When pitting in, is it possible to speed up the time spent at your garage? (Not the travelling to the garage, and again from the garage to the track, but the actual time spent at the garage, where they "replace" your tires?)

I apologize if this has been asked before, and as much as some of your arguements may be "Go read all the old posts before you make a new thread", I don't think I or anybody else here has time to go through 20k+ threads.

Thank you.
 
Nope, no way to speed up pit time; and FYI, that actually hasn't been asked (to my knowledge), so, yay! :D

Welcome to GTP. :) (What does your name mean?)
 
welcome to gtp, i know that if you hold the emergency brake when your in pit you can rev your engine freely, giveing you a small boost at the begining of the race, beyond that GameShark speeds everything up!

and about being accepted, i found my place and started in a forum then spread, you gonna find people you dont like (me being Majarvis) but most people will still accept you...
 
G'day!@ welcome to th forum! :)
hope you enjoy your stay.

afaik, there is no way to shorten the time in the pits.

Have i made my point yet? some will cheat, others will play to win, i do both, currently setting at 82% (havent completed all the time trials) i have taken up hybriding and now have a Gt-40 that does the 400m in 3.750 seconds. hail that superbrid. anyways, all pitting in is just change your tires, so i would probably just suggest practicing alot on the track you need it for, or get an ActionReplay and use the no tire ware code on it.
 
Hurrah! A (probably) totally new, never-before-asked question! Kudos!

"Neodammerung" is German, meaning "New Dawn" in English.
 
You can reve your engine freely when pitting in without the e-brake. and leaving it around .606 or 60.6% of total hp should give you the best take off RPM. But due to rpm loss when launching you should leave it around 70% max power to compensate for the RPM drop at first :D

What is the German meaning for Red Dawn?

What do you think? Some communist country is going to invade you and you escape to the mountains and with survivors create a band called the Wolverines? :lol:
 
I'd imagine "Rotdammerung"

"Do you think it's wrong of me to use money from the foundation to build my own mansion... Huh? Do ya do ya do ya?"
 
Your time in the Pits usually averages out to about 16 seconds. More at places like Super Speedway, less at the Test Course.
 
I once talked about this before. Kideng responded, but that was about it. I feel if you put your car's rpm at the 10 to 11 o'clock position while you have the tires changed , it takes less time for the engine to get to the rpm it needs to take off. Notice how the engine revs very high before taking off again?

BTW, what ever happened to Kideng?
 
I think his job ate him alive. He was building a pretty decent looking GT3 info site which was supposed to launch on August 1st... But it never made it...
 
My name can be taken a multitude of ways, depending on the context. (I am still not sure which)


*Possible Matrix Revolutions Spoilers Follow*






Dammerung means both Dusk and Dawn in german.
Neo CAN mean new, but it is also the main character of the Matrix series.
Being as how this song is played towards the end of the movie, it could be taken as "New Dawn" or "Neo's Dusk".



I have another question to ask.
I'm not really the automotive type. (As in I don't take auto-shop in school, or really read about cars at all.)
So my question is.
What is better:
A) A high HP at a higher RPM
B) A high HP at a lower RPM

Basically, if somebody could link me to a thread about all the basics of Gran Turismo car modifications, or contact me through PM/AIM/MSN and explain it to me, t'would be appreciated.


Another thing:
Why aren't IMG tags in Forum Signatures allowed? :(

Ok basic physics: in terms of car power,
hp = torque * rpm * fudge factor.
fudge factor is whatever is needed to change between the measurements.

What that's saying is that if your torque remains the same throughout, your power (hp) rises with your rpm.
So your question might be better asked 'which is better, high torque, low rpm or low torque, high rpm'.
in general, it depends on the application for your car. If you're using it as a road car, it wants torque throughout the rev range as you're constantly stopping and starting and driving slowly.
In a race car, however, so long as you never go below the rpm where your car really gets going, it doesn't matter.
So what's the answer? I think it doesn't matter, so long as you can use the power that your car produces. Muscle car lovers will tell you that you always need heaps of torque, honda owners will tell you that it doesn't matter, so long as you can pile on the revs.
Choose what's best for your car's applications.

I hope some of that made sense.

As for images, they're annoying and several users have very limited bandwidth.
 
it depends on the power curve too i guess.
A practical car will have its power arrive at a low rpm and arce cars at a higher rpm... tho it would be practical to have the max power arive early it may drop off towards the end. I deally you would want the power to start early the remain constant with no drop off to the end of the rpm range
