THE CHALLENGE HUB, CHALLENGE COMPLETE

[smoothbore12]

I realy don't know what @Thematic did in that race but i spend an hour today and the only thing i get is to bust my 🤬 both of them.

Triple crown

I try it this ,that way , mix way and only once i get down from 16s .

When you reach 242 you're done not to mention that am with my thumb blip blip blip all the time to correct my steering .
I was tired enough today and i thought it will be easier than others but didn't expect the drama of the rev. limiter .
I might give it a try again later on the week but right now i can't even think what am doing wrong .
Weird behaviour this single seater as it's concern steering movements ,never get use to it and i believe wheel users has a benefit on this ,i already run steering sensitivity at -2 and still is hard to get use to it.
Best first dead 1.04 and best lap 1.01 mid .
That's my news, we're all ok and waiting to stop working in 2 days to have more time.

@bjl23 what did you " smoke" to bring a single seater for this championship ?
You shouldn't drink before take such decisions .

Boss man came up with the idea and I tested it for him and loved every minute of it. Hope you do too!

It's the closet car on the game to an Indy car, do you know about the triple crown title in real life?

Maybe it's all this isolation that's getting to me

I know the 3 crown ,monaco and la sarthe are next and monaco is Ok but la sarthe ?
Its way frustrating to take attention to the speed just not to exceed 239-240 khm and bog down .
Anyway rules are rules and Noel is responsible for this .
I must hire an assistant to tell me the speed :
237....238 ....239 ......oh my God oh my God 240 cut ...cut ...238 ....239 watch out 240 get out of sleepstreming now ,cut cut damit 241 you're tost.

Looking forward for la sarthe and you might pick the no chicane version to make the drama worst

I would love to see a vid on this throttle game from someone laping at dead 1.01 s or lower which i think needed to touch the 12s that Saint did.
Anyway since no bad without good ,it will be a good opportunity to refresh my French language $#≥€≥¥≠€€©® pa mal.

GOODWOOD CHALLENGE:

COURSE 1 HOLE 2: I hate this hole and this will be my last try at this, unless I am going to miss the cut.

, I'm kind of glad I got cut last round since I know how much of a pain this one is.

Looking out your record you can still do better, with your handicap your just behind @CozmicDragon.

That's my last try for this Round Bryce, because I hate this car without a tune on the car.

 

[smoothbore12]

Triple crown
Finally i find out how The Saint ride the white horse but am not gonna bother any further.
At first try i bog down 4-5 times.

At second none

Sleepstreming only at turns and on of continuosly at throttle when speed reach 239 .
Just save my controller from catastrophe at gas and left turn buttons.
Doesn't matter who is running at the field as long you can find the way not to exceed 240khm on straights

Goodwood entry

Ghost predict that there is more ,how much i don't know yet .
The problem with all these type of challenges is that you're going better step by step in each sector with the first one as your best since you run it a couple of hundreds more times than the others .
I believe if i can avoid shaving and twictying the back end can go better.

PS
Shame that " boss " Bryce is out since we have an open account with the KTM from old days at Red bull ring and no tune challenge .

GOODWOOD CHALLENGE - COURSE 1 - HOLE 2

 

[Thematic]

For me this Falken is GT-R #17
In order of appearance, except that I may have gotten rid of some back in the seasonals.

57./No Tune (De Luca Calls You)

5:35.197

Related lap times were 68.605, 66.411, 65.957, 66.213, 67.987 as per replay. But they are not as meaningful as one might wish:

The FXX is recommended to be your wingman, I feel the races were more than a second quicker than with the first grid where I was against the F1 and in fact in the first grid I only had a low 5:38 or two. But it had faster cars in the back, making lap 1 certainly quicker. Had a 68.3+ opening.

The speed, and ease, of the four wheel drive car in the "slow" part seems quite uncanny to me, but otherwise it just seems very unremarkable.

By no means a typical result, as this was race number 22, and only the second time I went faster than 5:38 (sic). The other one was grid 2 as well, at a low 5:36 but about 50 minutes earlier.

edit: I guess I need to try 0 rev dives at Indy as well.

 

[Thematic]

Double posting... not because I have an entry for Triple Crown, but because the previous one was invalid!

I forgot to change to RACING HARD tyres and used medium then. Sorry about that.

Triple Crown

8:11.957

I didn't notice the second place mover on my inside:


I did have a revlimit check, maybe a couple.

Hey everyone
I've put a spread sheet on the goodwood post showing everyone's time penalties and total times.

The slowest 2 players will be cut for the 2nd round at Goodwood and that means, I do have to do a another run ?.

@nostradavor2 and @smoothbore12 are in the bottom 2 so far but nostradavor2 hasn't posted a time yet and smoothbore12 is only .036 behind you and I'll bet smoothbore12 will post a faster time out some stage, so I think you will need to race again to avoid being cut.

Thanks mate, half a glass of Red wine and some more Chocolate Easter Eggs will do the trick 👍.

NO-TUNE

When I think of gran turismo track's, the first track that come to mind is HIGH SPEED RING. Such an iconic track, someone should build this track in real life.

So there I was trying to get Isaac to bed, my crew waiting for me. The tyre pressures checked, man with a lap top, check and all the other guys wondering, where the hell is Bryce?
So I started the race after fighting with a 4 year old, I've never driven this car before and I got to say it's really good, nice handling and can stop on a dime. A bit more HP would help against these super cars thou.

Did 3 races and I still need to find the right field to help with slip steaming.

CHIC

Who the hell designed this event? OO it was me 242 kph back down to 232 kph and back up again and back down , .
I tried using the right stick and the R2 button for the the accelerator to hold the speed but I suck.
Anyway after 4 races this is my best so far.

I hope the HIGH SPEED RING is in the the next GT game on PS5 Byrce, and yes mate it should be a Real life track because I like it.

We grow up with High speed Ring
Nice ride Sniper with the samba dancing rear end KTM.

@bjl23 deffinetly you are the one to blame for 3crown track choices.
The big laugh is gonna be at La Sarthe since Indy, le mans & Monaco are the 3 tracks that the crown is based on.
Perhaps you have to reconsider the gear settings for La Sarthe or something else that didn't need the presence of two people to run the race.
Also i think 2 laps needed to have the chance to win the race ( although i don't know ,am just guessing ) which means another 10 minutes of " bog down" frustration .
Best solution is to " use " the bigger of your boys to inform you about speed limit and start the on - of procedure .

I have the small George for this which proved to be my secret weapon .

PS
From today am on quarantine Easter holidays.

Hey Bryce just an 💡 why don't you run these events weekly instead of every 2 weeks, while we are all stuck inside ?, and in 9 days time we can go weekly . Perhaps make it weekly until GT7 come out, and if I find out there is no GT7 for sometime I an going to play Assetto Corsa Competizione on PS4 when it comes out in June.

I had thought about doing it weekly in the past, so a long time ago I put up a vote and 2 weeks won so I stuck with it ever since, plus a lot of work goes into this on my side and I don't think I would be able to keep up if it was weekly.

No problem 👍, but it would be nice to stay on the Challenge Hub until GT7 comes out. PS4 should have been backwards compatible, and then it would have made things a whole lot better to play PS3 and PS4 games on one console than having to play on 2 console.

I'll be there as long as you guys are here.

I will always stand by your side Bryce !!!!!!
I know how " hard" is to keep this running and many times against your playable time , not to mention that you're desperately seeking for peaceful time surrounded with the kids around you to join the challenges that you design.
2 weeks is fine by the way .
Here the " hard" day ( big. Friday) is pass and we're going to final sector of this unusual Easter with more free tv time , yesterday Mary was hearing live from church about 7 hours ,5 at morning 2 at noon !!!!
She sent me out cause i was going back and forth inside the house .
At least i race Noel's school and must film it and upload it.

Hope all of you to be ok and " safe" , greetings from small Greece to my global friends.

2 weeks is far to long my friend because I spend most time under my Rock, and I only come out when there is something to do. If these challenges were 7 days long, well I will not be spending much time under my Rock.

Give all the challengers a go.

 

[CBH]

Give all the challengers a go.

Over 1 week yes but 2 weeks when you are stuck inside is far to long to do these challenges.


Edit: Bryce it is not good competition if its over 2 weeks and mate you can do all the challenges in a few day, and it can be fun in 1 week doing challenges. If it is to much work just cut down on these challenges.

 

[smoothbore12]

No tune entry
I try first free run and never run bellow 68
After that i did 3 races with 2 different fields but neither of them was De Luca inside.
The faster compo for me was RH front SS rear and BB 5-4 which the car was able to keep all the Khm at the first ultra fast left and approximately 197-198 on last left.
Don't know how a fast field reacts and how draft helpful it is but i think Saint's 5.35 is out of reach especially on both tyres RHards.
