THE CHALLENGE HUB, CHALLENGE COMPLETE

@bjl23 My post about the Alfa was an attempt at humour ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Me_Too_movement

Thanks for the settings @paddycars1 , I'll give them a go. I think I've currently got them set to 7,1,8..... so should be quite a difference!

Try -1 5 10 that's what I got my fastest lap on remember the Ferrari is more leanent only after 130 miles so patents is a must for this car and track.

Don't know if this round gonna give me a reason to " smile " .but the comeback of Snow white is more than enough to keep me pleased .

Its the younger member in our hub and always is a pleasure to read his descriptions .

Also we have enough people to fill the two divisions and that's cool.

 

[slybynight]

What is this "more lenient"? the cars characteristics change over time?

This time is slower then your best.

I didn't use aids on this one because Paddy didn't use srf on his run. You can leave this time, it's not a big deal even if someone beats it with aids later on.
Sorry for confusion.

OMFG!!! @paddycars1 . You have just revealed unbelievable things to me!!!! I always thought increased sensitivity meant that a smaller wheel input resulted in a bigger change in wheel position. So I have been dialling it up and up. And now you show me that the reverse is true!!!
OMG..... I cant believe how much control I now have over the car!!
Thank you soooo much!!!

Bravo!!!

In my defense, the description of "sensitivity" in the game implies you have "quicker and more responsive steering" when it is higher, and that a lower setting "smooths" out the input and gives "slower movement". Have they got this the wrong way round? I have WAY more control at -2... I can control slides that would end in catastrophe at 7! Translation error?

From what I know about the ds3 for me is a better with a higher value 5 7 it's sharper but lowering the value will make the steering smoother but takes a lot of consatration to keep the same speed of the higher setting I think the least value is more for tyre saving than hot lapping am not truly sure to say the least?

... oh and welcome back @CozmicDragon Snow White. Why do they call you snow white? And what made you return?

 

[smoothbore12]

Following a " ghost " at 49.277 i was 0.350 slower down to the second sector and manage to pass him on the third one .
Very very close.

Edit
F ..... I miss the coursor to the driving options again .

OOO @smoothbore12 will you ever learn?

On another note, I use DS3 on the highest settings, I found the lower the setting the more understeer you get.

 

[smoothbore12]

For the first part ,i have the answer.
Snow white occurs cause everybody likes the " rich " and detailing way that he writes describing his runs , its young ( the younger here ) and we must take care of him .

Oh I remember Honda, there was also Alfa in that mission.. I think I was at 30.002 and than you pulled of 29.998 or something like that
I don't think I can improve much on this one tho, I did 2 laps at 48.5 after this one.. Certainly looks like you put a lit less effort, I thought it'll be easier to catch you.. I'm losing time somewhere on 2nd part of the track but don't know where.. If I lift off, I lose time, if I spin the wheels too much I lose time so dont really know

refarding the sensitivity I just use 0 on most of the cars.. I remember using +4 to Gold Vettel Challenge in my signature but on GT5

If you go full throttle with the Mito in the tunnel-left-tunnel while also turning fully, do you make it without touching the wall? This is slower than letting but maybe a simple test for the steering setting, for DS3.

I haven't tried the mito yet, hopefully on the weekend. When I do try I'll let you know.

Maybe I did okay in the sled part, maybe not: there was some high speed drift going on. But a few seconds after I hit the last wall on the lap and lost a lot of time.

Schwedenkreuz is interesting. If you try to take a regular inside line, there's a bump which will upset at the car in such a way that at least I never recovered. But the thing is not at the white line, so you can put your left front tyre even more inside. Though then you easily or unavoidably get the arcade lawnmowing phenomenon. I may have bumped into it in wet conditions, though.
This machine doesn't seem to like the gutter. Yes, I mean Karussell. Keep the left tyres strictly on the concrete or have throttle control as a - I don't know!
Somewhere at about 5:30 is the showboating right, where I once shifted down to second while turning. That was not a good idea.

Respect mate , i don't know yet if i can complete a lap there and if i can ..... am afraid that the first number will be with two digits

 

[paddycars1]

No tune

I got this on my second lap.

 

[nostradavor2]

Nooo Noo.. How? You are doing something right on some corner that I do wrong

So at about Kleine Karussell: "I can't remember the splits but I went over the limit many times and recovered just as many times."
Shots from the same lap.



So there should be something left out there, but I can tell when I am not in the right place to push. Better to try again tomorrow.

 

[paddycars1]

No tune.

This is my final entry with these tyres I seen another .175 but when your pushing faster it changes your driving ability for the next corner and so fourth:tup:

 

[smoothbore12]

While you spend your time at the F ( Fantastic ) Ring ,am trying to keep my nerves cool so i took my chances at no tune trying various combinations of driving aids ,active steering or not ,higher abs values or not etc.
Finally end like this.

After that i went at Goodwood and realise that was way hard to catch my old record .
Am damn sure that was there from a previous challenge that i don't remember ,perhaps @RMan72 remember when but i don't.

I might take a go at Ring to see if i can get lower than 10 min
Ill try zero or less steering senc. but i don't know if i can ever make a clean lap .

 

[Thematic]

@smoothbore I think you will surprise yourself. More often than not you can spin the car without the numbers going red.
