CHIC first run
First lap was a 1:22 then the last 3 where all 1:18s. A lot more improvement to come. Hopefully.

I dont think I can do under 5:09 or something like that on SH.. I did 5:13 and did las 2 laps 1:17 messed first 2 but yes.. Maybe we could get closer on other circuits and Paddy is much faster thab me maybe he can get close.. I have some back pain so can't drive.. But I know I got insane because I kind of enjoy playing BSpec on 5. Will race when pain is little bit better.
During testing we where doing 1:16-1:17 lap times so your doing just fine mate.

For the SkeagRacingSchool at the Nurb. use any line-up you want for the race as it is too difficult to find the P1 line-up that I used. ANY LINE-UP WILL DO JUST FINE!!
I have changed that on the information post now.

The last couple of days i did some laps at free run trying to memo the tricky parts - at least- and then i went at the race to see where am standing against the AI.
It's true that is hard to find the GTR in first place while usually came up second whith the McLaren in first place and many times can't find it at all.
Needed 6-8 restarts to find him unless you're lucky .
The one i find it yesterday ( GTR in front) , confirm that at your run you pass them damn quick and you make it seem easy but wasn't at all.
Also i have my Z06 without the supercharger cause seems easier to control her without the extra power.

@bjl23 at CHIC i i also started at 1.20 first lap and 1.18-17 the rest but when i find my brake spots and where to lift of the last part i reach the 15s.
Dv1 guys have to deal with tremendous oversteer cause of the tyres ,even at the first right where the speed is way up ,you can take the turn sliding all the way
Imagine the slower ones.:crazy:

Noel my padles and my back gave me to do just 1 lap.. Haven't tweaked a car or anything but I promised to race on the Ring so I'll send you that one my friend. Also remember I didn't go for fast but for dramatic race:lol::lol:
I put this race together just for you so whatever you did or didn’t do I don’t care bravo for being there for me.

You got the vid?
That's why I made it to look like real race so you can enjoy watching :lol: Not very good overall but it's little bit frustrating with wheel not working properly and with back pain.

Also that Citroen Batmobil was hard to pass and not to hit.. Was off throttle most race.. Was going to try one more time but when I restarted throttle was all over the place again.:banghead:

btw Could you pick even wider cars?Hahah :P

Your pass for the win was amazing!! And yes that Citroen is hard to pass. And yes it was a super real race! It looked 100 percent real for sure:gtpflag:
 
Thanks Noel I'm glad you liked it.. It's difficult to pass there with so many cars.. Went outside first corner and outside the one after, couldn't believe no one "killed" me and in the entrance of last part of corners could get on outside of Mclaren without getting hit.. Maybe luck.. Still it was pleasure as always :cheers:

For the Nurb. race I could care less what your lap time was but please include it. Second the
SkeagRacingSchool is about racing clean and managing race car traffic on the track just like @nostradavor2 did and that is what will win you the school. If you end up in 3rd place or whatever you can still win the school. I do not care what aids you use or not use. Any questions??
 
Im so pissed that I can't find my GT2 disc. I literally found all my ps1 games but GT2. If you think what do you need GT2 for well I was thinking of going from 0 to 100% :lol:
Also I know no one cares but you have to put up with me like I need to put up with my Greek brother :lol: Next thing planned in my GT life is Formula GT Bspec Championship. It's only 6 races each ~1 hour long watching idiot AI driving :D:D

I only " learn " about half of that track ,where learn means to memo whats next and and wait for the spot to pass ,the rest is more by instinct .
My biggest promplem is when i have to slow down due to traffic and loose my concentration .
Since AI and i we have quite different braking spots is difficult to avoid them at brakes or not cause a collision in some areas .
This race remind me a lot the small Lotus at La Sarthe where i was pissed off since high speeds always made me loose braking ,end up hiting the AI from behind .
Its quite opposite directions managing the traffic and the get rid of the traffic ( like you did on your vid).
First time i run this was 3rd :lol: ( ok i had some moments ) and now after some serious training i easy can run sub 6.30s ( no full power ) but can't manage properly the traffic in a " clean" way ..
I might need to leave it for couple of days and start again with no rush cause now i can't deal fast ride and traffic both.
I hate that track ,i hate that track , i hate that track :banghead: :banghead:

I can run much faster than that but did much slower time on vid. I don't think it's that important. Try learning the track without driving line and maybe with "normal car". I mean like 200-300 hp strert car.

I haven't found gt2 disc btw :(

Also @smoothbore12 I wish I had that car.. I'd go around town in that trying to pick up girls, looka like a fun thing to do..

Slower time is of no importance to me and that why you ran a great race!. Super clean
and great job of managing traffic!!
 
thanks dude :) this is the last one.. nurburgring and monza werent hard.. I tried suzuka today for first time and got down from 2.17.9xx to 2.11.000. so maybe next time 2.09.999 :)
Once your on a role keep trying it's just the matter of getting a constant rythm it's usely the second lap were everything go's wrong and can get very frustrating all I can remember is threw the S section I opted for 5th with throttle control :cheers:

Yes, it takes few hours I guess to get one consistent race. Actually my problem yesterday was 1st lap because I managed 1:03.9 2nd one once which is fastest I ever saw on vids.
I might try in 5th..i did it in 4th but still managed to get fast enough split on that sector. Also around last corner I was throwing car around in 1st gear while others were doing it smoothly in 2nd. Will have to try few different styles but I think it's possible to do it both ways if I can stay focused. It was always annoying event for me but now it was kind of fun, I just hope my dfgt wont die completely doing it.

All best wishes to all of you guys and to your loved ones, was great getting to know you and hope we'll still have fun for some time :)
