GT5 Prologue Spotrace:​

​

Hotlap on the Eiger

Hi,I took the liberty to start a spotrace in the Prologue forum and not in the spotraces forum due the fact we have a lot of new members attracted just by the Prologue game.
Lets see if there is some interest in some old fashion Off Line racing against the clock with a beast of a car.
The NISSAN GT-R '07

Maybe you sould set a physics mode..? As anyone using 'standard' physics will absolutely blitz anyone using 'professional', or atleast list which mode the driver used.

I may give it a shot a little later.

I used professional.
Good idea to make notice which one people used.
And I had to edit the tires in S3 because I did the lap with S3.

BTW what do you mean with blitz? Is standard faster as professional?

Yeah, not only is it easier but it seems grip is higher also. Give it a shot, try standard for a few laps and I am quite sure you will have no trouble beating your professional time without even getting a near perfect lap.
 
I need to have some more Japanese lessons,
apperently my pyshics were on standard :dopey: with the 1,09 time.
I changed it to professional and only got to 1'12.:crazy:

So thanks for the tip ViperGTSR01 👍

This race is perfect to discover problems considering the future WRS.
 
:indiff: Only managed a 1:12
Pro sim and No aids
 
Sjaak, you taunt me with a GT5 WRS prologue, shame on you as I do not yet have the PS3. Great idea, though. Hoping I'll be here sooner rather than later.
 
I got a 1:10.6xx with R3 Tyres before I saw you changed it to S3. That was with no aids and pro physics. I will try will S3 tyres now :)

BTW I really like this format as I don't have access to the PSN all the time so this is great for some competition, plus everyone posting times is a good clean racer so no corner cutting etc. I hope there will be more of these?

With only a 4 option choice in Online racing with most weeks 2 Daytona races this kind of offline formats is a nice thing to do on the side.

It also will give a clue how fast a racer is and what is possible to reach with a car on a certain track.

Besides that, the Nissan is such a good looking car with a great sound and it is a real pleasure to watch the replays.:sly:

I gave the combo another go and improved both my times.

1'08.616 standard
1'11.984 professional
 
I'm by no means the fastest driver but i've
been really put off trying to set any sort of serious lap times as we all sen the cheating that goes on .

👍 sjaak

You think we are gonna be as close as tose races @ Fuji last week ? :)
 
Just ran 1'09.881 in professional trim. Ranked #8 in the standings, so the replay is available for all with access to the rankings page.
 
Had a go in Standard Mode tonight - 1'07.611. Ranked 16th or so. Used PSN Captain_Chaos76. Saved replay to my HDD.
Thanks Sjaak for this one - really good fun. Will have another go tomorrow. Might even try it in Pro Mode :ouch:

nige
 
damn just as this came up i lent my gt5p to a mate. will try get it back and post a time
 
Just had another go.
Pro Sim
1'11.426

That puts me in 42nd :ouch:
 
VIPERGTS01,why not use the best possible tires in a race,at any race.There's a reason?
 
Have just run some laps in Pro Mode - 1'10.812 is the best I can do for today.

nige
 
Got a time of 1'11.591 in pro mode, somewhere around 50-52 on the online boards. I'll try and better it later; excellent time Z.

PSN - Chronos-GT

Used Sixaxis controller, gonna get a wheel soon when I buy a new house and have a dedicated games room hopefully. Played all GT's on ps1 ps2 with the duelshock so i'm used to it.
 
Did a few laps and managed to get a 1.11.472
Still a lot of room for improvment. Got a 48 in ranking with it. I know for sure I can work some more out of it, just need more practice.
Oh yeah forgot to include physics type 'doh
Used Sim physics with that run.

Tyres? I didn't mention anything about tyres.

Although I do prefer using S or even N tyres over Racing tyres, R tyres just have too much grip and I like to battle with it more.
 
Just an idea but how about stating whether you used a wheel or pad for these times, just out of interest...👍
 
1:11.080 under pro physics with a wheel after a few laps this morning. Eiger is definitely not my track, but I think I may be able to crack the top 10 in the online rankings with a little work (currently 35th).

I see you using S2 or S1,not S3 for example,so that you can't relly compare the time to others?
 
made it to 4th place with normal phy....about 0,6sec behind nr1....on sim phy i only done few laps and managed to get to 18th....need some more practice but have little time,will post my times later,spyrrari.
 
U running with a ds2 still Shaun? Wish I could participate. April is around the corner tho'! Great idea Sjaak!

Had a few more runs today in Pro Mode - 1'10.311 . I think about 16th in the rankings.

Using the Sixaxis Wireless for all current runs. I'm going to be using a DS3 once it gets released stateside. Would grab it [DS3] from play-asia, but I'm not really interested in paying shipping. Heavily considering a wheel, also, now that the physics (at least, to me) seem aimed in that direction.

Last night I was running with the BMW Z4 @ London (Forward) on R3 tires in simulation trim. No TCS, etc.. anyway, the top time there is at 0'58.016. Was done by someone with a GTRP alias, so I know it's an ace (no pun intended) of a lap. I placed #4 with a 0'59.000. I don't know if that person was using a wheel, but it looks like it. Anyway, I guess the point I'm trying to make is that I think we'll see a much bigger difference in wheel vs. controller times with this version of GT. Turning precisely with the Sixaxis is difficult . . . always fighting with understeer from even the slightest touch sometimes. Of course, I also still use the d-pad instead of the sticks..

See some nice times coming in on this GT-R trial with pro physics. 👍
Think I'll give it another go tonight.. can see .3 or so that I lost in the mess of hairpins.
 
With the DFP I am smoother (of course) but I cannot seem to feel the same limit I can with the DS2. A work in progress tho, but I am debating on using only the wheel with GT5P and GT5, go cold turkey I guess, haha.
