Yay, we're into double figures! :D :p

Sorry again about last week, but what I'll do this week is let week 10 run through the remainder of this week, and all of next week, so as not to cut short your practice time.

And there's no excuses for crappy times, you've got a week and a half. :p

THE RACE: Special Stage Route 5. Fixed now. :p

THE RULES:

1. No hybrids
2. No wall riding
3. No shortcuts
4. No cheating
5. Save your replay
6. If possible, upload your replay onto the forums
7. A photo of your time is not required, but can be added if you like.
8. Please, NTCSers, don't use any of the 900hp + monsters
9. Running wide is allowed, but obviously it will slow your time.
10. The rumble strip is considered part of the track.
11. Have fun.
(If you think any more rules should be added here, PM me.)

THE DEADLINE: The dealine for your time to be in is Sunday, midnight, your time (meaning that you can race til 11:59 your local time then give me your time).

Testing will be held on the Free Run version of the course, with the actual race being held in the Hard Single Race mode. You can run the race as many times as you like to get the best time possible.

Testing officially starts now, and will finish on Friday, with racing time being all weekend.

You can discuss all of your intermediate times, but not you're whole lap. You can give generalisations, ie "I got down below 1'20", but not specific lap times.

Go have some good fun! :D

he might have been tired ! or drunk !!

well I like ssr5 - I remember last year I ran in a GTP comp on this track in the 787B and did quite good

Im down to a .58 lap

Thought Id post a time first to see how everyone else was getting on - prob a bit slow but It felt very fast for me !

Im glad weve got week and a half to test as well !!
 
Im hoping to be fast here.. seing as I "beat" Sough in the wet, maybe I can do just as good in the dry. But this time with my total race time :)
 
I think Sandstorm is either dead tired or been consuming to much of the Amber fluid ;)

Since we now have a week and a half i can really have a big here
Not had a run yet so i cant give you a time, over the weekend perhaps
:cheers:
 
So 'Storm how was your trip south ;)
 
I don't get it.......is it me or the setup? my best run so far is 1'01'809.... 45 min. I am using fume's roadcourse setup from gt vault, for the f094/h
 
Im using a modified setup based on the SSR5 Wet Race we did earlier on in the series. My best time now is mid 57's. If you need any help, hints, or anything, feel free to ask :) I might not be the best (yet :lol: ) but I think im good enuff to be helpful.

of course! Email me Zboost@cox.net Wanna see if it's me or the car:confused:

f094/h
 
Ok we are all using the F094/S ( Poly 001 ) F1 car. For some odd reason, PD decided to make it better than the F094/H. So the first thing you probably want to do is get a F094/S. You can get it off the Polyphony Digital Cup in Professional mode. Its gonna take some time tho. Switching cars will make an immediate difference in your lap times. So I guess thats Step 1 for you for now.
 
Im gonna try to send you my current SSR5 setup when I get a chance to write it all down. Most probably by tomorrow night. Til then, try to get that F094/S.

:cheers:

Actually, it was quite good. We street-raced a bit in our ol' bangers (me in an Astra, him in a Barina (! :lol: )), we had some EXTREMELY close races on the simulation version, and basically had ourselves a "bloke weekend" of the blokest sort. ;)

It really comes down to LSD, downforce and TCS/ASM.

I've got downforce on 1.00/1.20 or is it .30? Can't remember), TCS is on 1, LSD is on 60/60/60 and I'm running a mid-to-high 57.

:odd: ??

a car that someone actually "makes" using a sharkport I think ??
Wrong place for the question though I think !
 
I think I got my gears pretty much sorted apart from the first corner - It cant decide between 4th and 5th

Anyways my LSD setts were all over the place and having seen Storm on 60 60 60 I might give that bash tonight - see if I can get 57

How quick is 57 on this track ?? Like just quick or quick ??
 
I disagree sand. My downforce is max/max, lsd 5/15/8, and 3 tcs. fastest hotlap in the 56's. Spring rate, camber, toe, ride height and brakes all play an important role.
 
a mid to high 57 can get you among the top 10 on GT3times. My best lap places me like 11th right now.

LSD is on 60/60/60 and I'm running a mid-to-high 57.

Holy Crap.. My lsd is like 5/25/10 and im running mid-to-high 57's hehe. The downforce is 1.00/1.40 and TCS at 1. I see my settings are somwhat close to Sough's... maybe Im on the right path finally!
 
Now running close to low 57's after playing around with the setup some more. A high 56 should be possible, but im not counting on that for the race. Constant 58's is more what Im looking at at the moment...
 
My setup is nice, running 5th gear for the first corner. Let me improve some braking/cornering lines and I should be right up there with some times brought down (how's that for an irony? :D).

I ran 20 laps or so last night and managed mid to low 58's for more than 5 laps in a row

I still cant make the first turn in 5th all the way and dropping to 4th throws it all out of line !

And I only just started taking the corner after the first tunnel at full tilt !

Im low 58 quickest time so far - Im quite glad we've got some more time for this race because Im running at 813 hp. I'll get a new 001 at the weekend and hopefully improve my times - the do what T13R does and not save (only my replays)
 
Indeed. I had to win a new F1 last week... ****in tedious, oil changes. :banghead:

I haven't had a go since my last reply, but as we've got all week next week (sorry!! :irked: ), I'll try to bring my time down to a 56. :eek:

Dont forget to break it in first... or since its a prize car.. its already broken in? Im always confused at that part. Anyhow no big improvement yet so far. Barely under the 57.5 mark. A high 56 should be possible. Mid to low 56 is also possible, but I have no clue yet as to how to gain that much speed. I know I can improve my T1 by 0.4 seconds, but for the rest its gonna be hard.
 
Running mid 57's so far, gonna keep pushing fo a 56
 
Good luck.. I know I'll need it :D
 
I have a suggestion for the series. Since this race is 2 weeks long, why don't we just skip the test track. Boring as hell and I don't even think an f1 can outrun a gtone so it will just depend on which ai car drives the best line. Just an idea.

Haven't made any headway on this, been busy running the C12 at gv. Just for the hell of it I took the f094s to gv again and pulled a 1:16.502 with a ds1. still .030 off the record though. Anyway, you might want to look to the race database(gt3times)for a benchmark for a 5 lapper at r5. I think the best time is a little under 5 minutes, but that is counting tire wear.
