Oh thank goodness tuning is allowed on the Nissan...the stock settings would drive me insane, it's borderline undrivable.

I tried to see how it compared to the fastest times in the Gr.1 race at Autopolis this week just for the lols, and it was 8 seconds a lap slower.

 

Ohlala! Or how the french people says!
Thanks pd! R8 is blast to drive



edit: 1:36.847

 

Congratulations.

Sacre Bleu, Magnifique !!!! You're smashing it.

 

Súper my friend

 

@xtrax: Congrats to you my friend.

 

Really a fantastic drive of you. For me this will be hard to beat.

Had a quick go with both. Quite a handful. But it will be fun, I think.

Good to know, mate.
Usually you're faster than me, but I'm on your tail. What do you think of the the new combos?

 

Thank you

Thanks my Friend

Ohlala super time
Bravo

R8 is fun to drive nice TT

 

I am going to stay on the R8 Gordini '66 TT, and I think this one will be fun because it is nice & slow for me . I just started it just now and I am way behind @Stewyripper and I want to know what medication he is taking , and I am just in front of you my friend.


Edit: 1:41.874 now, and I don't need to know what medication Stewy is taking now .

 

Few tips for gordini.
Try to keep the streering as straight as possible. There is quite strong affect on acceleration versus steering angle.
Try to pulse the steering and let the car slide alittle. Most important, try to keep momentum.

Use leaders ghost. Set the ghost start about .5 - 1 sec in front of you. You can see the lines etc better.

If you use auto gears, you will be losing alot of time. So good time to learn manual. Only 2 gears needed

 

1:41.559 now . I am keeping it straight but I try my best with Auto, and thanks for the tip my friend .

 

Anyone got a decent tuning set-up for the Nismo?

 

Had a good long session in the Gordini.. This combo is super addictive!! Nice laptime sdi_03

So far I'm down to 1'36.890 for 3rd place.. I can take some more off

 

Interesting to have the Gordini dirt trial and the GR Yaris will be having a dirt trial as well. I think we'll see a small spike with an interest in rallying, due to the Toyota. Might have to buy one of those Dirt games.

 

Pushed back up to 6th in the Gordini.. lots of fast guys there Really hard to find those last few tenths now here's my best lap so far for perusal..



I reckon another .2 in the books for me at the most and then I will probably tap out Well Done to the top 5 guys

 

Very interesting combos this week. The Gordini is all about conservation of momentum, and the Nismo is all about controlling that front wheelspin I'm getting PTSD flashbacks from the 2015 GT Academy. Thankfully tuning is allowed but even that doesn't make this brick a lot better.

Congrats How much time do you think ASM is worth? I tried it on and the car just handles so weird, I'm actually faster without it

I wonder if ASM is also beneficial for the Nismo LM?

 

How to tune Nismo?

 

Thank you

Really I don't how How much time ASM worths on this TT ?

I start the TT without ASM as usual and I managed 38.23X

I saw comments from @sdi_03 and @numbnuts70 regarding ASM used by top drivers. thanks guys

And indeed after a check of top drivers replays, all were using ASM.

So i enable it and immediately i improve my time for at least one thenth around 38.1XX. So i will say more or less one thenth perhaps 2 thenth

Don't really know , as I continue the TT with this configuration and never test it again without ASM.

R8 Gordini TT is fun

i managed 1:36:834 P10

still possible gain 2 or 3 thenth , I 'm able to be faster than P1 on T1 but i still have to improve on the rest of the track.

i'm chasing @sdi_03 and @Mr_P, well done guys super time

Thanks for driving TIPS and ghost tips

 

No asm for gordini or nismo.

heres my tune for the nismo

 

Thanks for the share
I will try it tomorrow.

With R8 Gordini
P5 : 1:36:478

with BB -4 don't know if it's important in this TT.

 

1:39.651 is the best I can do .

 

Currently 1.38.230 in the Gordini, fun little race.

Wasn't so much fun when I did my first few laps the other day though. Couldn't get understand why my races all ended up with red times and all high 1.40's.

Yep, this idiot took the right hand track at the start of the race and went through the pits each lap. Was going to ask here how everyone else was actually putting down times. Ha ha ha.

 

Good time mate . I wish I could drive using Manual my friend, the fast guy's are using only 3rd & 4th gear I think Dalone.

 

Hi guys, had a vacation day off. All on my friends-list did a great job in the Gordini. I still try to catch up. It's a fun combo.

@Stewyripper: Well done, great time!

@fordlaser: Fantastic lap with auto-gears, mate. I'm 3tenth behind you, although I switched for this TT to manual. 

 

Thanks my friend . I will have a few more goes this week at the Gordini TT, and I see a update for the game this week and we get the Toyota GR Yaris TT.

 

Hey @v8_pursuit I have skip away and I am now 1:39.074 and if you are going to use manual, you should beat my time because you only have to use two gears in this TT.

 

Great time @fordlaser will be coming after you later today. lol

 

Thanks my friend and I will let you go pass my time, because that is my limit now and I can not get close to my ghost anymore.

 

OMG, in the bottom half for the rally (not really a surprise) but what is a shock is I'm almost 12 seconds off the top time!
That is massive for such a short track on a car you can't tune.
I know rally driving isn't my strong point in this game but........ blimey, didn't realise I was that bad!

 

I'm around 1600th place in the Gordini. It's seems just like High School again.
Edit: 996th place! Woo Hoo this is fun!
