Hello all. I first started playing GT 3 several years ago when I was layed up for knee surgery, but since I'm a computer gamer I never bothered getting a PS3, and the PS2 I was using was borrowed. I've been dreaming of GT ever since, but didn't want to go for broke on a PS3 and steering wheel.
Until this christmas.
Now I'm set up an good to go. Can't wait to get better and maybe run some live races against real people.
I do have a couple of questions, if you could indulge me or tell me to go post the Q's in another section. I have done some research, but for p'sakes there are a lot of posts here and the search isn't the best. Plus it's hard to find what you are looking for when the phrases are so generic.
1. I want to be able to see my laptimes at the end of a race, but don't want to watch an entire replay. How do I do this? I can't quite seem to catch the posted times before the finishing grid comes up, and the finishing grid doesn't post all my times. I guess I can do the replay and fast forward to the end, but then my last lap doesn't show, and that seems ridiculous anyways. The live time view is helpful, but more info than I need all the time.
2. What settings do people race on typically? I know there is some preference with driving aids and I've been trying no driving aids at all but I'm afraid I may be putting myself at a disadvantage during an actual online race, to the point where my PP does not match up with my car's actual ability compared to others. I know some races have certain restrictions, but those don't seem to be searchable. Should I use ABS1 just so I know how my cars handle with it for when I go online?
That's all I can think of for now, thanks everyone and see you out there!
