I reckon drift would be cool, Stevo, but the idea of 3 or 4 evenly matched cars and full tuning also sounds really good.
 
Sorry I haven't posted more, here's the story of my week...

Up until Sunday night I had been struggling with setings all week, and after 500 laps or so over the course of the week up to Saturday I had only been able to run a T2 in the 46's ONCE! So anyway I come on here to turn in my time and decide to read the thread before I submit. Hmm...the settings Max E. posted sound interesting,maybe I'll have a last ditch effort Sunday night I think. So Sunday comes and I plug in Max's setts. After 5 laps I had already beaten my previous best total by half a second. So I think WOW this could be really good! So I have a serious go of about 75 laps and holy crap.. I ran a T2 of 46.2 with a perfect lap and a killer launch out of the last corner to shatter my previous best clean total by 1.3 seconds. I wish I had a coulple more days cuz now that its hooked up I KNOW I culd still cut another half a second off my total and get the T2 down to the high 45's.

So any way THANKS TO MAX E's SETTS YOU RULE!!!:cool:

I did change the 6th gear ratio a little for less rev limiter banging and upped the TCS to 4, but the rest is all the same.

Hopefully I'll finish in the top 5 ametuers again, and big props to those of you getting in the 45's.I'm looking forward to next week's insanity fest already. And boy oh boy does my thumb hurt.:odd:
 
I dont think that 3 or 4 "evenly" matched cars is a good idea.

The fact of the matter is, there is no way to have a perfectly matched group of cars especially when we allow tuning.

Each car has different aspect of abilities and take for example some ff cars.

The toyota celica trd and the acura rsx would be a great match in stock form, but if you tune them fully, the celica would have an obvious advantage. (just my opinion)

So what I am trying to say is that with a group of cars there will always be a dominant car and in the end, we would all figure that out, hence we would all use that car.

Plus, for those of us that tried every car before switching and eventually finding the fastest of the group, the week would have gone by before we had a chance to start actually running laps for the race and not just for comparison purposes.

I think we should stick to having one car to choose.

Plus, I really, REALLY like this new tuning thing.

We should try to stick with tuning if possible because it is teaching fellas like myself about how to tune a car.

Maybe we could do a mix...

Tuning under a certain hp on a mid rear car.

Like a nsx type zero with under 400 hp and any suspension settings.

But then again, that makes things so damn difficult.

Maybe we should leave the tuning to the cars that are full racers and that way they can handle having their full potential hp put into them.

I dont know, but like I said before...

I will leave it to boom. Just making some suggestions.

Plus... Its 7am where I live and Im about to go to school.

But when I get back its all gt for the day since I dont have to work tonight...

That means the low 46 t2 is a goal and a 45 is a dream.

Although I dont think I will beat my earlier submitted time, Im sure as hell gonna try.

Oh yea... lets keep this board free of all the bickering that filled the last two pages...

(dodges tomatos for doing a bad imitation of a mod...)
 
i don't think i will b able to run this one more time before the deadline
So i may have to settle for my best so far
I will see how the rest of my day goes then try for it (I WANT THAT SUB 45 )
I've set myself a barrier to break and im just off it at the mo ..

Well, after much . . . um . . . crap, lets just say . . . I have managed to get my T2 down to abot 45.397, although having crashed on the last corner (the last 2 corners seem to catch a lot of people out, don't they?) my overall time is going to suffer. :irked:

45.397 T2 with a ragged out car??? hell no. and this post was right after he admitted to using a ragged car.

the ridiculousness of this cheater's claims are beyond my comprehension. he does'nt even realize what he's dealing with here. he's claiming to be breaking the FR record beating all the denso times ever posted with a RAGGED car. it's completely laughable. i just hope that after we bust this miserale jackoff, he is banned from gtplanet altogether. there is never any room in any forum for a scum like this guy. i'm fed up with this kid's **** and sorry to everybody if i'm blowing my stack here. this is just to the point of being more than i can take. i work hard for mine and when i see some idiot waltz in and insult my intelligence like this while trying to rob me and my fellow participants, i get pissed.
 
Ok submitting time ... made my final improvement this morning, took .4 off my previous best which was already pretty decent so I'm well chuffed at that, T2 was a 45.9 in replay :D Hoping for as good as top 5 now :D

Used the momo also for this lap which is even more of a bonus :D funny though I done it with the force feeback switched OFF ! ( Ron was in bed so I had to keep it quiet :p ) well it worked!

Ran a couple of grannies over on the last sidewalk also! :lol: didn't leave any red paint on the fence ..... I hope! :trouble:



@Pedro I just nab the smilies from GTN forum ..I got the smilie page saved for easy use :) http://www.gtnetwork.de/forums/misc.php?action=getsmilies&s
 
I will try to improve my time one more time later today before i will submit my time.

I'm currently on a T2 of 45.6, but i've finally beaten my Denso replay. I hope i can improve a little bit more.

There is a God after all.....for the hell of it i tried Pedrodaman's setup of Max E's and Daan's setup together, and on the very first lap I ran i went from a best of 47 t2 to a 46.8 T2! So thanks to all 3 of you! hehe. I even had a few as low as 46.3, but I bounced off a couple walls, so the lap was void, but im thinkin i can at least pull off a 46.6 if i stick w/ it. I thought i was done w/ this but ive been given new hope, looks like i'll be ridin this one all the way to the deadline...hehe. I keep tellin myself ive had enough, yet, i continue to go back and play...its like crack or somthing! just cant shake it!

Nice one mate keep it up:tup:

I ran a combo of settings until i came up with the ones i finnally posted
I was racing for allmost six hours but my efforts where rewarded in the end
I would have posted them sooner but i only got the feel for them the night before

Just after the racing i stayed up to watch the F1 race Live it finnished about 5 am where i am
Just after that i ran a few more laps maybe about an hours worth but i was way too tired to do anygood

Good luck mate don't focus on trying to beat anyone just set yourself a target and go for that works for me :)

Cheers for the link some of those are pure class i like the

and the dancing Elephant :lol:
I just spotted you have your own dancing smilie :lol: :lol:

BTW good job on breaking the sub 46 barrier 👍 im gonna have one last go i've had one sub 46 and it was clean appart from the last corner i just hope i can break it before the deadline..
 
i may not be able to go on time. i was going to try earlier, but was tired and now a nephew is here and you know you can't easily refuse a nephew. i'll try to get some time in, but i may be late. but it's not an upsetting combo of car and track. nephew wants to play mega man 8. and there are personal issues that may delay me. we'll see.
 
I'm done for this one. Took another three tenths off last night, so it's about as good as it's gonna get. My best clean lap was a T2 of 47.0. I know I could drop at least another .250, but I won't get to run again before the deadline.

Just want to say to Boom, great choice of car and track. This has been a lot of fun. I've learned as much in the last two weeks as I have in the last two months about both driving and tuning.

Can't wait for the next race!!
 
I'm all in on this. My best lap had a T2 of 46.288.

I'm hoping next weeks challenge will allow me to keep up with the Pros. Mini Coopers at the SuperSpeedway or Test Course ought to do it.
 
Well I have pretty much given up for now, but Im not too worried.

I did an honest time with an honestly descent lap.

Although I woulnt be at the top, I am hoping my consistancy will pay off.

Not once have I skipped a race nor have I failed to keep up with my classes leaders. (for the most part)

Right now Im doing an enduro I havent done yet.

I just realized that I have 98% of the game completed... I didnt know it because I had beat almost the entire sim mode and not a single arcade race.

Then I started this olr and had to get all the arcade cars. that meant beating all the arcade races and now all the sudden I have 98 percent complete.

I might as well go for one hundred in my spare time.

If I get the chance I might run a few more laps... but I doubt it.
 
I have only skipped one which was race #2 and this one.
