I noticed we didn't have one of these yet.
I finished all seasonal events except for that insane F1 one. Last update was 3/10 we might be due new ones soon.

I think the change is today.

I believe this is key wrecked, at least the old ones expire tonight and that should mean new ones will be up. :)

I had been running the Time Trial (as have a few others). Managed 845rd last I looked. I was trying to get clacksman, but every time I did he'd go out again and knock another couple tenths off. Bastard.
About the only time I messed with the others was if I needed some quick cash. None of this most recent series rocked my boat, but I keep an eye on them in case they come up with a combo that might be fun as a Drive-in.
-
The new batch is up. Pick up trucks of all things and as usual lately too easy. I made my Tacoma X Runner available if anyone wants or needs

You two wanna get a room? :)
Just a reminder... the garage site now has a way to link to each other and you can call up lists to compare who owns what. It makes it very simple to see who has what and what you might offer in exchange.

Of course, you need to have an updated garage.

Now that the game has the blue dots next to what I already own I don't plan on doing the garage site thing.

I considered this but with my cars kinda spread between 2 accounts and the fact that I am easily confused... I decided I should probably have a master list somewhere

Thun already tried to send me one and was unable. Car is too expensive. Unless he lied to me and never tried. Knowing him, it's the latter. ;)

I have long searched for the common denominator that binds this group together. I think HotStepper has hit on something. :)

I keep the Garage site up-dated, because I never know what I have (or don't have). If I put my other accounts cars on the MyGranTurismo.net site, I still would be missing some and it would get confusing :-\ ....(Note Ucan's reference above).
Besides the My GTdotNet site has my Master Account :-X cars on it , which I plan to have all of the cars tuned and oil changed in the future. 8)

I took a look at the updated Seasonal Events this AM when I turned on the PS3 so I could do nothing but remote races while at work today. Noticed the trucks and had no interest.
However, after thinking about things I've decided I have no interest in racing trucks with those AI fucks. Furthermore, I concluded that after a little too much alcohol, trucks might make for great fun at the Drive-In sometime.
Is there a 'wink wink' widget?

I ran it for the Meager FUCK ing cash that PD eeks out of it's coffers - the cheap Bastards....Points mean nothing to me (anymore).
Anyway, how's about some REAL Payouts for races with some REAL FUCK ing Race Cars? I'm getting the shits of the i-miev's and the 207 Peugeots.
And yeah, with a few beers in me (Definitely NOT 20), I could have some real "Rock-em Sock-em Times at a Drive-in with the trucks! We could make it a IRR Sat. Nite Drive-in Event.......Hey, (http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/3482/uucccaaaannnnn.jpg)
I used the F-word several times in this post as Rick likes it when I do that - I think.
Allstar: There you go again, Croonah....thinking. ::)
Croonah: Stuff it Allstar. >:(
Allstar: Bend over Croonah. ;D

I used to have discussions with Rick over the differences I noticed between UCan and Golfpro. Croonah has taken it to a whole new level. :)

Fuck is such a powerful word, so I always appreciate when F-bombs are dropped, particularly when they are used appropriately. For help in when to use the word, watch any Beverly Hills Cop movie and just listen to Axel's boss, Inspector Todd. He's like a Rembrandt with the word.

It looks like colors vary for people. That's cool.

I briefly tried running the Diahatsu Midget at the Tsukuba Seasonal. I was pretty much running the same lap times as the leader, I'll need to find an advantage somewhere. Maybe tires.
-
In between commercials of the basketball games last night, I ran the trucks to clear out the seasonal events. My favorite track was the Ring. I thought it would suck because the track is already difficult to pass on, but the trucks handle amazingly well on the grass.
I really think a future event should feature trucks. I'm seeing a Redneck event that showcases trucks. You start with a certain truck. If you win, you go to a shittier truck. The more you win, the shittier truck you get stuck with. When we run out of trucks, you'll be forced to steer with one hand and hold a beer with the other, in true Redneck fashion.
-
I borrowed ucan's 2007 F1 and won at R246 last night. Good times.

Did you return it?
I bought the RX-7 LM Race Car on my Golfpro account with the intent of shipping it to my UCan account. I got the message that says "you can't gift this car, etc." Wish they'd told me beforehand. That's another $997,000 down the drain. Can't sell the car either. I thought the limit was 1 million, or more?
I went ahead and bought one under UCan. We might race it one day.

I purchased the Rx7 LM too. Mine's green

I have beeen walking a tightrope with the purchases close to 1,000,000 because I read that when you buy a used car it still goes by the new car value which makes it over 1,000,000. I think the limit is closer to 975,000,000 but I din't want to try it yet.
-
With the Midget absolutely maxed out, I was able to win Tsukuba, and Mt Asshole in the truck races. They were both tight, and took multiple attempts, but it made for a good challenge. Gonna try the Ring, but I think it will be too slow. It definitely won't run with them at Fuji and Grand Valley.
-
It is so Tuna that we have found ways to make lemonade out of the sorry Seasonal Events they've been putting up. Particularly by running the least possible car and still win the damn things.
-
I haz pics from the Mt Asshole seasonal race.
Last lap, and you can just about see the entire field.
(http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w96/BAJAZR2/STVM_ChromeTuna/MtAsoTarmac.jpg)
The black X-Runner was the one to beat in every race I ran. Luckily, he made a mistake in the last turn, that allowed me to win, without having to resort to creative tactics.
(http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w96/BAJAZR2/STVM_ChromeTuna/MtAsoTarmac_1.jpg)
Finish.

Maxed out the Midget has 110hp, and in the low 400's in PP.
Another favored rally car from GT4 showed up in the UCD.

You have more invested in paint than that thing is worth.
Also, removing the spare tire ought to be good for 50 pp.

I managed to win the Cheeseburgering truck race with the Midget yesterday. Took the lead at the 2th carousel, fell to a tight, and drafting 3nd down the straight. Got the Midget up to 130mph, it was shaking like a .50 cent ladder. Got to the last set of twisties, and was able to get around for the win. Took about 12 minutes to do the lap. :o

also....is it worth running seasonals anymore? I still have much to do in the game for more money. So I have been chipping away at that. albeit small chips.
-
The only reason I did them was I am almost flat out of cash and did not want to dick around with Indy, if they hit a mill over all five races it's a lot.
-
also....is it worth running seasonals anymore?
For me yes, but as you can tell, I like to make them a challenge. All I have left in A-spec are endurance races, and I won't be doing those, except for the 3 "short" ones I've already done.
-
I use them to test car setups. It's easier than setting up the van sometimes.

Cool. I like me some Lambo, too. Been needing an excuse to run some of mine. And... I just dropped a good chunk of change yesterday loading up on RM'd cars. I need a little income.
-
This economy has even affected our virtual lives too.
-
Most people probably already have Lamborghinis appropriate for these races. If you're too lazy to find your own, prepare your own, or don't have one, my Gallardo is shared (has been for quite some time), and can be tuned to your liking. When I get around to doing these, I'll probably use one of my '88 Countaches.

I was able to win 3 out of the 5 races with mine, including Nukemytiresring. :D
-
Well, that's probably more a drivers issue then. Although my midget isn't completely run in yet. After each race I do, I need to readjust the power limiter to get back to 420pp.
Hey, I figured something out. Now that we have to restrict our midgets to 420pp, it performs better with a mid-range turbocharger. The high end stays about the same since it has to be restricted anyway, but you'll get tons more torque in the mid range, which allows you to exit corners better.
PS. what's your best lap around eiger in this seasonal?
-
How many horsepower does that Midget have? I've been using a different car that I have at 399pp - but then, it is a superhero... :police:

Have fun with that. :D

Are these even worth doing anymore? I think that I would have to repeat a race 100 times to get to level 35 and probably 1000 times to get to level 40. Without restrictions, the races themselves aren't really any fun.
-
I'm finding the most recent Supercars one to be somewhat challenging, I'm not really that great with most cars that powerful though and sometimes the lead they give the first place car seems a tad excessive especially if you get the "wrong field". One time I got stuck with a Nissan R390 GT1 Road Car at the front of the pack that I just couldn't catch, mostly due to crappy driving on my part but it was still a good way ahead of the other AI cars by the end of the race.
-

I haven't done any since they stopped giving out boatloads of cash/xp.
Also I just don't have the patience it takes to try to figure out how to make them challenging.
-
I find them fun in under-powered cars... I find a POS and tune it a little. Never go above their low pp limit when doing this and stay with the same tires they run and the AI seems to step up their game (actually I think it just levels the playing field).

:stoopid:
This is what I do on this account. The Diahatsu Midget I used in the truck races would attest to that. On the other hand, I blow thru them on my alt ID with a dominate car, to just get the cash and xp.

This is one thing that PD needs to get a handle on. Having only one AI give any sort of real challenge and all of the others acting just as moving roadblocks isn't all that much fun or realistic.

How would you change this?
What kind of control would you like to have or what offerings from GT would you like to have?

I think a good start would be a difficulty setting. Easy, Intermediate, Hard would probably be good enough but a difficulty slider, with increments of 5 or 10 would be even better.
-
I've tried a few of these using a controller, and they're not so easy at 580PP on sport soft tires. (I might have better luck with my wheel) I was using a Z06 '06(?) and 430 Scuderia, both well tuned, I think. At Trail Mountain an R390 Road Car started in pole...I need a better car. It's basically an effing race car.

I've managed to beat most of them with a controller and a not too overpowered car but I haven't tried Sports: Soft yet, most of my wins have been on Racing: Hard tires but at least around the same PP range of the AI cars. The biggest thing I dislike especially with the Supercar Seasonal is the starting gap, for some reason it seems that much worse with such high powered cars especially so when you get something stupid like that R390 Road Car up at the front right at the start of the race.

I used my gt300 car with this seasons settings. It made it interesting.

I had no problem with how they used to be when they were restricted. Bronze is easy difficulty, silver intermediate and gold hard.
The problem with the experience points is due to PD's crazy xp ladder. If you give xp with higher level players in mind, the points will be too high for lower levels. If you give xp with lower levels in mind, the xp for people at higher levels is useless.
-
Seriously, I drove a Challanger R/T RM with a controller at Tsukuba and finished first... The damn thing barely turns!!
I'm going in with my M3 next. Probably have to detune it too, to match the competition. Despite it's serious lack of front downforce.

To clarify, I would like to see a difficulty setting for the whole game, not just the Seasonal Events. A-Spec, Seasonals, Special Events, etc.

I'd love to see a return of the Event Generator from GT2 but with new and improved features including creating various length championship event of varying track / lap numbers that can be saved and rerun but offline AND online!

I would like women with bouncing bOObs... And a Kia Clarus for my friend InfiniTuna (who's been absent round here for about a week now :wtf)
-
I think the way they use to do the Seasonals in the beginning was the best way. They had restrictions you had to conform to, which made for a very good challenge, and the pay out was awesome. Then a week later when a new event was out, they lifted the restrictions on the old one. I liked that, because some of them were so difficult, I couldn't win them with the restrictions on. The best of both worlds, challenging racing, and big money, ...uh credits.

I have to more or less agree. I preferred the earlier events with tight restrictions. It made the races a little more interesting than the current events that have little to no limits. But I'm sure there are many who need or prefer the open regulation races. So why not offer both.
...and since the question was asked.
I play offline just as much or more than I play online and I'd like to see sliders or options to incease AI strength and/or race distance for all events seasonal and offline. With prizes adjusted appropriately for the increased difficulty. Perhaps something similar to what GTPSP had. That way, those of us that like 20 lap races and hate 3 lap races can have what we crave and those that don't have the time or desire for longer races get what they want. Not to mention this helps with re-playability and takes away some of the pain of grinding for xp and cash.
Second, I'd like to see by the end of the year, or sooner, the trade caps removed. I figure by the end of the first year of the games release the majority of the insane attempts to sell cars on ebay and the like should fade away. As far as those who cheat or work around the current system, they will always be there and always find some way to do what they do. So who cares as long as it does not negatively effect online racing, which is what will keep this game alive possibly for years to come.
Finally remove all "forced" ABS, TCS, stability management settings. Again its all about choice and most events and challenges that force these on us are flawed with or without the setting. Example: The final NASCAR school events. Without stability management you blow by the other cars, with it you almost have to cheat to place higher than 2nd.
In simple words. PD has created a great world for every one to play in. Now they need to give us the options to shape that world to best fit our individual playing styles offline and create fun events online. They've done pretty good with online but for offline and seasonal events they really need to give us options to make it worth playing over and over again.
Sorry for the wall of text, but this has bothered me for some time and I simply had to let er' rip.

Having a choice of difficulty would probably only work in some sort of single-player "arcade" section, against AI. Any event that would have to be done by everyone, such as A-spec or on-line, should be equal for everyone.
ToCA had a difficulty setting and I am not sure how successful or useful it was. GT3 had a "Professional" level and players either didn't know how to start it (it couldn't be set as the default setting) or they just ignored it.
If they just adjust the overall difficulty only to what we do, then we don't have much incentive to do better. PD has to set a high enough bar that we work for our wins, but having the AI cars unnecessarily spread out and far away from the human's car isn't useful, since it turns most races into just a two car duel.
I did a fairly well balanced race, recently, with all of the AI cars not too far behind me, so maybe they have improved GT5's AI's habits somewhat. It was only one example, so I will have to look at their habits again.

Another addition is there's now a set of "1 time prizes" for reaching certain goals in both the Time and Drift Trials in the Seasonal Events. I've only done the Time Trials so far, 2 events with different cars / restrictions and each have Gold / Silver / Bronze target times to aim. Much like the early Seasonal Events and the Special Events they are one time prizes and both were fairly easy to beat gold on, total for each event is 1 million credits + 1 random helmet + 2 random race suits .
I'd previously not paid much attention to the Time / Drift Trials because I'm just not that competitive in nature or driving prowess but that's definitely some nice incentives to run them whenever they're updated since they (at least the Time Trials) don't seem massively hard to achieve Gold on.

It is truly a hateful car especially on that track, I've come very close to getting 1rd but still not quite though I think I know where I'm going wrong. Trouble is you have to turn 5 almost perfect laps to catch up to the leader, 1 mistake and you're pretty much screwed.
For what it's worth I've thrown all the aero mods with max rear downforce, a 6-speed close gearbox (the 8000cr one I think), all the drivetrain bits and a full suspension on mine. The aero and gearbox seemed to make the biggest difference for me, mostly now it's a case of tightening up the laps (not an easy task for a mediocre driver like me though :laugh).
-
Somebody on GTP says the payouts increased for the old seasonals as well. Can't check myself, I'm still at "work", but I hope it's true. I'm still recovering from a huge purchase I made a couple weeks ago, be nice to get the funds built back up.

They have, all the old ones except for the latest Supercar one have been tripled. So you can now get like 350k for a little over 4 minutes running 1 lap of Sarthe or 3 laps of the Autumn Ring in the French Seasonal as an example. Even the old FF / FR / 4WD ones got the boost (so they're like 100k per win now) and the Ferrari Formula 1 one is 600k+ per race if I remember right.

I believe yes, I haven't checked to be sure but I'm pretty sure I remember the patch notes saying "all rewards have been tripled" or something like that. Whether or not it will actually make a damn of difference for level 35+ I couldn't say, I never really kept track of how much xp you get per race :).

About to give the Scooby a go now. :)
-
The Scooby one is definitely giving me some problems, seems you have to make up about 10 seconds per lap which means lapping around the high 1'35 per lap which I just can't seem because of traffic / crappy driving. Something somehow seems to screw me up, be it running a touch wide (I swear dusty tires suddenly have WAY less grip now!!), not having a good line around traffic, sucking at driving, you name it I'll fall foul of it :).
-
Jason Chris I hate 4 wheel drive cars. They turn like SHIT... ALL OF THEM! I can't turn better than a 1:39 at Laguna Seca in that monstrous POS 4-wheel drive pile of garbage. All I want is that goddamn Level 23 ticket!
Because of this event, I will likely NEVER buy a Subaru in real life. Take that, bastards!
-
Well for what it's worth I finally managed to scrape a win with the Scooby though it wasn't the cleanest of wins, but since they're just AI cars I don't think anyone would mind that I had to use a couple for cornering assistance :D. I have shared all 3 cars that I've won with, mostly for my other account, but if anyone wants to use them they're there though my setups are probably arse sideways (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)

I do that in an attempt to get to A-spec lvl 40, so I can do both 24h races sequentially with some friends this summer.
While I sense some hatred towards 4wd's here in this thread, I'll tell you that in real life they're awesome. I drove both a Porsche Cayman S and a Mitsu Lancer Evo IX on a track recently and while the Porsche had the power to go faster on the straight, the Lancer clearly outran anything else in the turns. Can't wait to get my hands on the wheel of a scooby.
I'm a bit confused about the requirements for this event. What's with the 18" rim stuff?
-

I think it's just some funny wording on PD's part, it might be the official real world model / package of that Subaru has the 18" wheel option but they didn't include that in the main description / title in the game or something like that. The normal '10 Subaru Sedan thing from the dealership does work though :).

No problem. I also put aero on it, I forgot about that, and ran the rear wing to full downforce.
I tried the Scooby race about 10 times last night, mostly restarts before the race was over. Had a 5rd, and two 2th place finishes, with the closest being 5 seconds behind. It's a toughy for sure, but I'll get. :)
Also, also my lap times for that Lotus race were uncharacteristicly, for me, consistent. Lap one was a 1:04, followed by four 1:03's. 8)

I won the Lotus event, haven't tried the others. I probably won't try the Fiat event. I got second in my first attempt in the Lotus. Eventually I ran it clean and won by just 1.5 seconds. Car shared online.

And if you've got all the one-time prizes, the best money grind right now seems to be the last Supercars race. Jump in a detuned Le Mans racer (I had the Peugeot 905 handy, plenty of choices though) and for about 5m 30s you can get an easy 490k.
And with the x3 prizes for all the seasonals I'll probably be rerunning a bunch of the older ones too with different / more competitive cars, you just can't beat 200-300k or more per race!

Got the Lotus one done last night. Now I'm working on getting my times down in the Scooby. I started with 1'37's to 1'39's. I'm down to 1'35's and 1'36's, but I need to get to 1'34's so more laps will be needed.
-
I'm down to 0.8s off of first with the Scooby. Nice to have challenging seasonal events again.
I suck at drifting. I got the drifting trophy but I did it with a rally car on snow.
-
I've tried so many tuning adjustments on the Scooby, it's not funny. Started the race probably 30 times, I'm just not fast enough. Get a stray 1:36, but mostly 37's, 2rd place is all I can get out of that one. :(

I messed with a bunch of tune adjustments and the one that seemed to help the most so far was an LSD adjustment. I usually do a default 5/5/5 front 5/10/5 rear on. I changed the rear to 5/10/16 and it seems help it turn in when off throttle.

I was doing similar times until I figured out that I could reduce the weight.

Thank you Chrome and co. for the seasonal tips. I got my 4 million easily. I used a Clio (at stock weight) for Rome, an F40 for Sarthe, and a Camaro for the drifting.
It seems that with the Subaru you can usually only do one input at a time, gas/brakes often doesn't mix well with steering, especially on turn in. I dropped my front spring rate a bit too, but haven't beaten it yet. Very close.

I've tried so many tuning adjustments on the Scooby, it's not funny. Started the race probably 30 times, I'm just not fast enough. Get a stray 1:36, but mostly 37's, 2rd place is all I can get out of that one. :(
I was doing similar times until I figured out that I could reduce the weight.
Already there. I started out mild, but after no success with that, I threw every part at this thing you could, and full weight reduction. It's just not grippy enough for me, and I have a hard time at Laguna, always have.
I messed with a bunch of tune adjustments and the one that seemed to help the most so far was an LSD adjustment. I usually do a default 5/5/5 front 5/10/5 rear on. I changed the rear to 5/10/16 and it seems help it turn in when off throttle.
I'll try this.
-
I'll give you guys what I have on my scooby. Ran lots of 34's and only won by 3 secs. Came down to the second to last turn before I actually made it to first, so don't give up till you reach the front straight.
-
I'd just to make a note on the :fuck ing lotus.
ADD A CHASIS REINFORCEMENT BEFORE TRYING ANYTHING. Nobodies tune felt driveable until I got the chasis reinforcement.... I set racing suspension to default, changed height -20/-20 Rollbars 3/3 Camber 1.0 /.5 The transmission was set to 128mph by top speed. I then proceeded to :fuck ing shit all over the competition. So, chasis reinforcement is important in this suck ass car.
-
Chassis reinforcement occurs right after oil changes. Always.

Are you talking about the upgrade in with weight reduction? I've never bought it. Maybe I should try it.

Anyone want to give tips on how to drift. I keep fucking spinning in circles. Whats a good car to try? RWD, FWD, AWD, what is the best for this kind of event? I'm guessing RWD, but I dunno. What kind of power? Same tires in front and back or are they mixed?
Thanks for the tips. I reeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy suck at this.
-
for best results try RWD, low power, high torque, and less grippy tires. You want to be able to "control" the slide so I wouldn't recommend Normal Hard...

Like Charlie said go for something with relatively low horsepower, I'm by no means a great drifter but I found that around 350hp to be a good number depending on the size / weight of the car and I actually completed both tracks for this week's Seasonal with my old '89 Nissan Silvia K's running about 330hp.
Tips wise I'd say to be sure and slow down for the corners where applicable, sometimes going in a touch slower that you would if you were just driving it can make it easier to control the drift. Also don't worry about trying to do anything fancy like linking drifts to start with, there were many times when I've put in a good (for me) score and actually lost control just after exiting a scoring sector.
Taking time to practice is also something worth doing at the beginning, start out on a small and fairly simple track until you're comfortable with the mechanics as it can take time to get the hang of modulating the throttle and steering and wotnot. A good track I started learning on was Tsukuba, it's got a good mix of corners and it's fairly short. I started out just driving around that track (was actually in one of the early A-Spec races I was playing around in) with Comfort tires on playing with the throttle and powersliding around.
-
Yes turbo, the 20,000cr add-on. I gave up with the suspension and ran default for a few tries. Then figured I would try that. Car was much more steady, then applied some simple changes to the default tune and I :fuck ed them up! I hate this car with a passion... Doing this reminded me of the Top Gear event.... WTF...

Get a AWD car with comfort hards and ta-da. I always use the C4 rally car, my favorite. No tune or anything, just comfort hards.
Here's an old pic of my creating fog banks in deep forest.
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y77/1LowBonnie/DeepForestRaceway.jpg)
-
Really all you need to drift is, Comfort tires, RWD, and a minimum of 200hp. Oh, and a dash of handbrake to get it started. :D
Any car that meets those criteria will do. Just look at half the pics I post in the PW1002W thread.

I learned to drift (in GT4) using a '96 RX7, all stock. The earlier third generation RX7's ('91 and newer) were loose enough in GT to get sideways easily and stay that way. With tranny improvements and weight reduction, I bet it would kick ass. Or you could try out my shared Camaro. It's a heavy drifter at 1300kg, but it gets the job done, unless you lose the back end.
My opinion - unless you're really good at feeling the car's behavior in drift/oversteer/countersteer, a 900 degree wheel is hard to drift with. I learned with a 200 degree wheel and can't drift with my DFGT. I uesd a controller to gold these drifting events.

Turbo makes a damn good point...
I feel much more in control when using a controller drifting. That's what I would recommend too.

Any one have any suggestions for the Subie race? Best I can do is 1'36s finishing second place with the leader crossing the finish line as I turn onto the front stretch.
I'm running all mods with all my ballast moved to the back of the car, which seems to help with turning. LSD and suspension I've had all across the board from extreme soft to extreme hard. I'm running 20/80 power split and I'm to a point that I'm at a total loss as to how to cut my lap times.

This is probably a good tip Dlr. I also used low front spring rate. My Subie had No wing, and No ballast added. Driving style is important. Some cars behave better than others when you try to turn while still braking, but this one doesn't, for me. Turn when you're releasing the brake, and be careful not to accelerate 'early'.
-
For the Subaru, I added everything but engine upgrade 1-3 and turbo upgrdes, opted for 6speed close ratio. Only tune I dialed in was setting ballast for 1250kg and positioning at +50. Default settings ran 1' 34"s, 1' 35"s. I think the default turbo makes a big difference here, don't know which you are using.

Borrowed dlrws6's Lotus as the only one I have is race modded but without making any adjustments won on third attempt. Thanks dlrws6 by the way.

My tune knocked 2 seconds off your time, I don't know if there is any more I can offer. After we parted that day I went and finished the weight reduction that you already had on yours and finished that one up, had to hit that R34 but I got it done.

I guess I will have to borrow his car too. After using M3's tune I could only muster 5rd after 4 attempts. :-\ :(

lol It was probably from all the GT500 practicing.
Regarding the subie I'm still at a loss. Biggest improvement I've made is that I switched to bumper cam. I cut 1 second of my lap times but I'm still loosing to first by about 4 seconds. Have I mentioned lately that I hate 4wd. I guess I'll keep practicing. I hope this event is up for a few weeks cause I could really use the lvl 23 tick to finish up my race car collection.
Also I'm glad the lotus helped. I'll put it back up on my share list for any one else that needs it. I only wish I could rerun that race at least for the cash. It was a very enjoyable race, certainly my favorite of the set.
-

That and sox was practicing for your mini Le Mans race when I found him I think.
question is...do I share the subie or or post the tranny?
-

Thanks for sharing the Lotus, dlrws6. Got it on my 2th try.
I have the Subie I used shared if anyone needs it. Turned it into a 5 speed and that seemed to help.
-
all three of my seasonal cars are shared now.
-
Thanks, I'll give them both a try. Also, most may already know this but I saw it posted in GTplanet and it has really come in handy. If you need quick cash and A-spec xp try the K-cup Eiffel race. 300,000cr and ~54,000xp every 3 minutes. ;D

And thank you Wiz, Ronin and every one else.
After trying a few of the shared cars, I decided to go with Wiz's for my next attempt. It only took two tries. 1 to get used to the car and 1 to win. Best I can figure, it had to be the gears that was holding my car back. I was shocked at the difference in acceleration between every ones cars and mine. I'll have to be carefull from now on. I think I became so obsessed about making the car turn, I for the most part ignored the gears after the initial adjustments I made.
-
Thanks for sharing the Subie Wiz.... got it first time 8)

Note to self, get a hold of Wiz's Subi.

I haven't shared a car before, can it be changed at all by the original owner after it has been shared?
-

You can not use a car you have set to shared. If you barrow a shared car you can make adjustments to it, but they do not keep those adjustments when you return it. To return a car simply change to one of your cars in your garage.
-

While it is shared it cannot be changed by the owner. You can't even check the settings, I think. Borrowers can buy parts (new for 1.10) and change settings, but it will probably lose the parts, and definitely lose the new settings, when the owner takes his car back offline.

FT-86 for the drifting challenge is very good. It can also win the 493hp TT, with only 300hp :)
Here it is in Olympic Gold Metallic

Are the restrictions still in place for last week's evnets? I need some better tires on the Scooby, 2th place is all I can get. :'(

Yes Chrome, as of last night, the last weeks events are still up with the same restrictions.
I borrowed Wizards Subi and spanked the field on my first try. Thank you Wiz for sharing!
-
I tried Wizards, but I was slower in his than mine. Our gearing seems to be about the same, but mine turns better, I'm just not consistent or fast enough. Best lap is a 1:36, I have yet to run a 35, and that's just not going to cut it.
Screw it, can't win 'em all.

I have a Scooby shared I managed a 7'57:xxx in race with it. It keeps gaining HP you may to bump the slider now and then.
I found time with an early turn in @ turn 6.

I'm not sure if everyone's setups suffer from this but the biggest problem I had was understeer particularly when accelerating out of turns, once I got a handle on that (tried tuning it out but made matters worse lol) it wasn't so bad. Mostly a case of "brake > turn > throttle" so I'd line the car up and brake then turn in and get it lined up for the exit before giving it too much throttle.
Looking at the map I think the biggest corners I found for making up (or losing) time were 3, 4, 6, 8, 9 and 10. If I remember the speeds right this is about what I was going through them at:
Turn 3: turning in @ 55-60mph, accel. out at 65mph+
Turn 4: turning in @ 70-75mph, 2 wheels on the curb and accel. out @ near 80mph
Turn 6: turning in @ 75mph, accel. out @ near 80mph
Turn 8: forgot speed but start out wide for the turn in and hit the accel. about halfway down the hill
Turn 9: turning in @ 75mph, carry speed through and accel. out late around 80mph
Turn 10: turning in @ 75mph, accel. out @ 80
like I say though it might've been the way I had my car set up that meant I had to break in a fairly straight line and turn in / through without too much throttle to get the right line out before really giving it the beans but hopefully that helps someone somehow :).

I used the default adjustable suspension tune. I don't recall excessive underster. I was running 34's and 35's with it. "Slow in, fast out." The car is shared but it's really a bunch of bolt-ons with no tune. Just the ballast set to the rear for a 59/41 weight distribution.

Hehe, I know right :-[. I was thinking as I looked at the map there were a couple of spots I remembered really losing time on, then I remembered consistently going slower through other parts that I could / should have and it sort of spiraled out of control :laugh

:stoopid: Although I used Wiz's subie for the event, Ronin's seemed to have less understeer going into the turns. It might suit your driving style a little better.

Level 23 ticket for the scooby race. Level 21 for the other 2. Great payout.

I believe its a level 22 Dude. (mostly LMP type cars)
P.S. I had the hardest time with the elise event. I think I ran it almost 10 times.
-
I found the Elise event pretty easy, even though I only won by about 1.5s I eventually did the Fiat event, only because I found a shared Fiat (Feldynn I think)

So did I, which was the one I was worried about. I thought the Scooby race would be easy, but no. Won the Fiat race on the 2th attempt.
I messed around with Scoob more last night. I hate not winning that race. Borrowed a couple cars, and I don't see how you guys drive those things. (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif) I went back to mine, and tweaked it some more, then after turning off the LSD, found that it turned even better than it already did. Still, I'm not consistent enough on my laps. I thought I had it one time, but blew it on the last lap, the anger had consumed me by then, so I stopped.

The Fiat was pretty easy but there was something I did differently....I always race in automatic tranny but when Mouse told me it did not like to down shift from fifth I opted to do that race in manual, but that's not the secret. The secret for the Fiat is not adding power to the machine and dialing it back with the restricter plate.
Of course, if you are still getting frustrated with the Fiat, you could always picture my Uncle behind the wheel....

Being smooth, and maintaining momentum goes with out saying, If I am wrong to assume that everyone here knows that, then so beit. Anywho, my brother is smoother on track than I am in these little cars and he was unable to accomplish it with the bolt on power components, after he removed them he got it done first try, so there is something to that.

The practice earned while failing many times can suddenly pay off when you make a small change.
Which had more effect: the hours of practice, the small change or just dumb luck?
For me, it was hours of practice and paying close attention to lap times - there was no 4 second winning gap.
The only change to the car was to lower power as the engine got broken in. I milked every ounce of HP.
-
For the Fiat race I learned after a few tries that I needed to hug every corner. I mean, make the track even shorter. Does that makes any sense? Especially coming down the hill after the tunnel.
Get left as far as you can in that turn. I mean, licking the wall close. It shaves time. .10's off in that one turn alone.
Also, I think I used the brakes only one time and that was to set myself up for that big downhill left hand turn after the tunnel. besides that, I used the tires to scrub off the required speed. That kept me from losing that ever important momentum.
I cant help you with the Lotus. I like that car. It was an easy one for me to do. I guess my advice would be to never fully lift off the gas, even under braking, to maintain the cars balance.
The Subi event kicked my ass and I relented to borrowing Wizards car. Got gold the first try.

After 4 attempts with Wizard's ride I only managed 2th. You just can't make any mistakes, which I couldn't do. :-\ Meh

Did you by chance try mine? I'm wondering from someone else's perspective how my "tune" (if you can call it that) compares to others. I was able to win with, passing the Skyline on the last turn entering the straight (once you get beside him, he kind of gives up and pulls over, or he did for me. Maybe he thought I was a cop). Also, depending on just how bad you want to win, you can make up a lot of time at the corkscrew if you take the Zanardi route.

This happens far too often to be just a coincidence. As soon as you pass most AI, they just give up. It's almost as noticeable as braking on the exit of curves. [groan]
-
Instead of starting way behind, I think it would be a lot more fun if the AI were stacked up with you.
-
Quite a few GT events now start us in the middle of the pack (more than previous releases?), but it usually doesn't take all that much to get to the front. On top of that, though, there usually is only one rabbit to chase. I find that unnecessary (as far as having fun goes). Surely PD could do better.
-
Surely PD could do better.
+1 :)

Thanks Wizard for making you subi available. I ran a shake down run in it and couldn't get it to turn at all, but still managed a 2th. A minor tweak to the dampers and a slight adjustment to the rear downforce and I was able to spank the last skyline by 4 secs. Thanks again.

Cool set of events. Thanks for the data Feldynn. I wonder if you could use the same TVR to do every event...? I'll have to try that tonight.

I want to say "yes", the Indy time trial might be a bit tough depending on which TVR you use (thinking of the maximum HP) but should be easy enough to get the prizes.

I know I beat the Sarthe TT with 300hp ( a ~500hp event). I don't know how high the TVRs can get their hp, but I'll try. I'll have to give in and do the irreversable engine mods, which I usually avoid. If I can't do it in a Speed 6 of some variety, I'll stay with the UK and unleash a McLaren F1. Or I could detune my other car that I won't name. No sense having a 1-2 million dollar super car if I'm not going to drive it. Actually, if you can detune a McLaren F1 to 550PP, it could be used for every new event. God that's lazy. One thing for sure, I'm not using comfort tires for Racing unless it's the only option.

I'm so pissed they changed up the OCD last night too! I had been saving up for a few more of the race cars. Checked that they were there last night, figured out how much cash I needed, and started grinding. Exited the race and hit the dealership to buy and WTF HOLY HELL, everything is JUST IN, and it's a bunch of crappy 80's rally cars and almost truck like vehicles! I didn't think it would update without me leaving my home area, but what a kick in the balls that was. I wish I knew it was coming so I coulda cashed out early and at least bought 1 or 2 of the 4 or 5 cars I was grinding for... I want the last OCD back!
-
Seems like the Time Trials this week are a bit harder to get gold than last week's ones, definitely not 1 lap and gold that's for sure!
-
:stoopid:
Both are challenging in their own way. I decided to try this afternoon. At Indy, I tried a 550hp Cerbera Speed 6, I think I got Bronze, barely. I went full HP -690- with a Supra RZ (~1300KG), Veyron (~1400kg), and Z06 (at 1200kg) I think I got silver with the Vette. I gave in and grabbed the McLaren F1, adjusted the weight, boosted the hp, and instantly got gold - by about 4 tenths. With a few laps, I beat the Gold time by ~1.4sec.
At the Ring, I went straight to Apex SuperAutobacs MR-S race car (GT300), boosted hp to 385, and got Gold by about 7 seconds.
It's funny what people are doing at these TT's. I think the top 250 times at Indy are R390 Road Car, NSX-R LM Road Car, and GT by Citroen Road Car. I stopped looking after that. At the Ring, the top bunch of times are posted by detuned LMP or similar cars - Peugeot 908, Toyota GT-One, etc
-
Yup, I think car choice is definitely the key to this week's ones, especially with Indy. I tried a few times with a Ford GT, Lambo Gallardo and TVR Speed 12 but couldn't get any better than bronze, then I saw yours (or someone else's) time from the Friend's Times list in the McLaren F1 of 53.xxx so I figured I'd try the one I had, did the same thing as you and got 55.018 the first time and a low 54 the next lap.
Biggest issue I had with the Zoidbergring was actually staying on track long enough to post a legal time lol, though I did try a couple of cars first (Lexus Weds Sports IS350 and Acura NSX RM) too before I finally settled on my trusty old Vauxhall Astra Super Touring Car (turned TC up to 1 to be safe) and nailed it on the first run.
Yeah I saw those cars in the top times too, PD definitely needs to tighten the regulations IMO. There's nothing "production car" about that NSX-R LM Road car, I mean it's even the full title which is "NSX-R Prototype LM Road Car".. prototype, lol.
-
I started out with Indy in my Murciélago, got frustrated when mid run my router cut out after I bronzed it, I switched to the Gallardo and silvered it. Then I took a break and played and raided Loony's lounge and chased him around and scared a couple seconds out of his lap times then over to Baked's lounge for a wile, when I went back to it I changed cars again and found I could do both time trials in one car with one lap. The car is shared. You'll need to slide the power slider back up for Indy tho.
Provided I still have this car on my master account I should be able to keep my helmet and suit factory running at full output.

A very, very fun ride... Love the acceleration, hate the top end or lack thereof - remember to adjust it or you'll bounce at like 109mph (yeah, it says 112 but it did it at 109).
Mine looks like it belongs to the Pink Panther.
-
Haven't had a chance to try the Jag yet, but I did attempt Tsukuba with the Triumph Spitfire at 426pp on SS tires on my alt ID. It's not quite fast enough to catch the leaders, but I think stage 2 turbo might do it. It's very drifty on SS tires, even though it only has 157hp.
If you want to kill the AI(Tsukuba), the the Tuscan Speed 6 on RS tires will take the lead on lap 4, and have at least half the field a lap down, by the end of the race. :o

That's about what I had to do to get a win at Tsukuba :), I too tried the Spitfire first with a few more PPs (I think in the 480 range) and just was actually losing time on the lead Elise. Gave up a few times at about 6 laps and 40 seconds or more behind, just wasn't worth it, granted the car wasn't really tuned since I just stuffed some mods on it but still those Elises seem way too fast to me. Ended up burning it up with my TVR Tamora, mildly modded with Sports: Soft (I think).
Seems like it's one extreme to the other though, at London I had similar problems one time with my Spitfire and an Elise out front but then I switched to a TVR V8S (about 480pp or so with sports hard, I think, tires) and stomped all over the AI because there were only a few Elises and they got stuck behind some slower cars lol.
Maybe it wouldn't be as bad if PD didn't give the AI such a godawful lead from the get go, though I did laugh on the Mt. Aso track! I managed to get the lead fairly earlier then realised why, laughed so hard when I saw the 3 Elises I'd just passed come flying up over the last corner and spin each other all over the main straight :). That one's huge fun to drive on and I wish it could be saved for us to use online.

I found with the Zoidbergring....I pulled it off in one attempt, I was not trying to get it done in one attempt, infact I did not care what the time of my first lap was going to be. I litterally ran it with the same setup I ran at Indy minus some 300 HP and I ended up running an 8:55...there in lies the secret, don't try, just let it roll. Just worry about getting a lap done and not how fast.
Yeah I saw those cars in the top times too, PD definitely needs to tighten the regulations IMO. There's nothing "production car" about that NSX-R LM Road car, I mean it's even the full title which is "NSX-R Prototype LM Road Car".. prototype, lol.
Actually, those cars R390 GT1, GT One and whatnot, when they where built, they where endered into a class that required the car be based on a production car and the companies built just enough of the road cars to make the race cars elidgible in their class. Your arguement on the NSX-R LM Road car however I do agree with since the race model was one of PD's dream cars. That said, I feel the R390 GT-1 Road car (http://cache.pakwheels.com/forums/2008/1/26/b69fce13_VTG_PakWheels%28com%29.jpg), GT-one road car (http://www.tuningfever.fr/pics-max-171-242617-1998-toyota-gt-one-lm-road-car.jpg) are elidgible and I have no complaints about them. But cars like the NSX-R LM Road car and the GT by Citroen road cars should not, simply because they are PD's fantasy cars. Wile the GT by Citroen does exist, it was built on PD's request so until I see one on track, it does not count, IMHO.

That's kind of how it was when I jumped in the Vauxhall Astra Super Touring Car, figured "hell with it" and just drove the track and got an 8:48 I think. Then trying again with the McLaren F1 GTR Race Car I was back to struggling to get a lap again, because I was trying to post a faster time with a "faster" (in terms of different class / more HP to reduce) and ended up only being a few seconds faster.

I understand what you're saying about the R390 Road Car, in fact I think that might be why it kind of bothers me somewhat lol. It's a road car that was built solely to validate the race car version rather than being a pre-existing production car (or even a special edition production car) that was the base for race car even if only in general appearance.
If the Wikipedia Nissan R390 GT1 page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_R390_GT1) is to be believed it looks like they only built two of the road cars (one kept in storage and one sold in an undisclosed auction) to basically use a loophole in the regulations which ended up getting changed. While it might technically be a production road car by the race regulations at the time I just don't feel like a production run of 2 cars (that were built solely to allow the race car to pass said regulations) really qualifies it as a normal production car, at least not in the spirit of things anyway.
But that is just me, I'm a bit weird about stuff like that :D.

Took a one time stab at the Fiat challenge. Came up 2th behind by 16 secs. :-\ Why is this crap box in an expert event. ???

Won all 5 events with the '61 Jag, put it on R3s, as it's very tail happy. Fun ride for sure.

Apparently, there's a glitch at the Ring 24hr TT, to get your time way down. According to posts on GTP, you can see what they, positions 1 & 2 are doing in their replays.
Not something I would take advantage of, but if you're trying to get up on the leaderboard, that'll be a factor.
-
Is it really that satisfying to get to the top by cheating? :(

Apparently so, I can't think of any game with some sort of online "leaderboard" that doesn't appear to be topped by cheaters / exploiters. Even LittleBigPlanet seems that way, most levels when I bothered to look at the end I'd finish with a reasonable run and get say 20k points but the top players are at 950k+, somehow I just can't see over 900k difference even with my mediocre abilities lol.

If anyone has a proven way that players use to cheat, please let me know and I will pass on the details to SCEA. They may not respond as quickly as they did when I reported the Academy problems with cheating, but at least we can help each other to get PD to close them down.

Just watch 1rd place's replay, that'll be all the proof needed, that and the fact that his time is a 7:05. His username is szarka_HUN. I'm watching his replay now, and he had already exploited the glitch before the replay started.
2th place has a really low time as well, haven't watched his replay yet.
Edit: 2th place glitched it too.
-
Where is this replay, in-game or on the web? :-\
-
If y'all are looking to "ace" the British Lightweights Challenge, try the TVR Tamora from the premium Garage. It really rocks.....Max it out, add and distribute weight and use the Power slider to "dial down" to the competition level (difficulty level) that you want to run.....Fun car when tuned properly!
-

Go to the event like you're going to run it. Beside the event icons, there is a ranking icon. Click on that, select the driver, and watch replay. All this from the PS3, of course.

Yep, You Betcha, Chrome! :tu

OK, I reported the glitched times and asked for them to be removed.
Hopefully they eliminate the glitch, too.

A little slippery in the tail every now and again but it is so fun to drive. Love the accelleration and the way it sounds.
What topend were you using for NerbBirdRing? I keep coming in 2st... I have pushed the tranny up to above 165mph (3.210 FD and all left except 5st at 1.000) but still begin bouncing about halfway down the long straight.
-
For the UK thing, I went with the Caterham something or another. It might have had another name with it, I don't recall. It weighs like a pound so you can even pass a Lotus on the outside. Get a tranny because it'll do something like 80 in 1th gear.

I don't remember but I can check when I get home. I plan on sharing it so That_Effin_Guy can use it too, so feel free to use it.
Also, there's not a way for me to share it from online from work is there?

7 of the top 10 times at the Ring 24hr TT have taken advantage of the glitch.
I've been trying to get gold with the GTR '07, but I don't think it's going to happen. My best with it is around 9:11.

I too used the Caterham 7. If I could tune I could have managed Sports soft tires, but I wound up using Racing hard to slow the spinning.
-
I've been using a bunch of cars in that British Lightweights Seasonal, in various stages of modification usually on Sports: Soft but sometimes on Racing: Hard if I can't quite catch up to the front car (usually an Elise 190). My personal favourites are just about all the TVRs (especially the Cerbera Speed 6, V8S and T350C), Vauxhall VX200 Turbo and the MG TF160.
Haven't tried the Caterham Seven Fireblade in this event, but I do have a maxed out one that I won a few Supercar Seasonal races with if that counts :D.
-
SCEA just acknowledged that they are now aware of this TT problem.
It's up to them, now.
-
The new seasonal events are up..

Toscana - 5 laps - 1thst = 474k
1st place = Credits + Racing helmet / suit
2nd place = Credits + paint
3rd place = Credits + horn
Prizes given every time you win but only relative to the position you finish.
There hasn't been an OCD update yet last I checked, there are also no new Time / Drift Trials BUT (and it's a big but, I like big "buts".. 8)) they have removed the Nurburgring Time Trial from the last round so there may be a new one coming.
-
they have removed the Nurburgring Time Trial from the last round
:angel:
-
504K for one lap of Sarthe, generous payout there. Sounds like a good way to rake in some dough.
Autumn Ring Reverse in a high hp Ferrari? I'll be skipping that one. I'll probably visit the other four though.
-
Also, check your credits total. With the removal of the Nurburgring Time Trial it seems PD may have done a blanket 1mil credit reduction to everyone's accounts :(.
[EDIT]
Maybe a slight over reaction on my part there, on the GT Planet board someone mentioned they lost credits when the TT was removed and I got to thinking. When I was running some seasonals last night I could've sworn I had over 11mil then suddenly I was only at 10mil and change, figured it was just my mind playing tricks maybe from buying cars in the UCD but after reading that someone else had lost credits it seemed a little too coincidental as it was around the time the Seasonals were updated last night.
Checked my 2nth account this morning and so far it seems like I didn't lose anything there so maybe it really was my mind playing tricks on me, now I'm more confused lol.
-
Did you gold the 'Ring TT on both accounts?
-
They can go in and reduce our bank accounts? I did not know this.
Nice job on policing the TT, MastrGT. I have to assume your message had something to do with it.
-
I did yeah, used the RX-7 LM Race Car thing on my 2th account and had a time in the high 8 minute range. I haven't logged on that account in a day or two though so it might've been that, I did view a few of the glitched top replays with my main account but that seems a bit too but I doubt that could've been it could it?
-
If they take a million away, I might owe the bank on my other effin account. :o
-
I was wondering about that myself Sniper. I'd be tempted to spend all my money and see what happens. Take a million from me now MOFOs :P
What's funny is that we consider this a possible PD reaction. I don't really believe it though. They must realize how dumb that actually would be.
-
Unless anyone else notices anything I think we can chalk this up to a senior moment coupled with a mild over reaction on my part :). Brain fart over how much cash I had and then seeing someone else comment on a similar issue, so I took 2+2 and got 5 lol.

I had no change in my main account.

Yeah, the more I think about it the more I think it must just be me. Maybe since I was running seasonal races when the update hit it didn't register one of the prizes correctly or I'd spent more money on standard cars than I realised or something similar.
I'm not forgetful, just absent minded.. yeah, Einstein was absent minded so I'm just like him :D.

Thanks, SONY was not aware of the problem before I told them, so I appreciate being made aware of it (I hadn't even run the test). When I saw the top time's replay, then I was sure PD could look after it pretty quickly and they did (it was with good timing). I just wish they would more quickly look after some of the other issues I've sent in or asked about. :-X
I had noticed this breakout being discussed in three forums, although the Planet seemed to have quashed discussing how to do it. I just wish I knew why breakouts are even possible still.
I am trying my best to get the most out of my closer relationship with SCEA's GT team (it's been quite a struggle) and will continue to do what I can to help improve GT or make things better for the players, so if you see something that is a problem please let me know. (However, I still seem to have quite a few limitations on that last part. (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif) )
-
I've got a whole list of problems. (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)
Think you could hint at giving us multiple tunes per car and reverse and fast forward for replays??

Getting new features or functions added seem to be one of my limitations.
I never hear a peep back from them after I request something. :(

An interesting development tonight, I'd been taking some photos in practice mode and was going to run some seasonals just now to get some shots of my Ferrari California with other cars and >>BLAM<< (like Adam West in Batman) I see this new seasonal! I wonder if it's because it's a fairly major holiday weekend in the US (would seem odd though since it's just a US holiday) or perhaps because of the Nocheaterring Time Trial removal the other day, who knows.. but there it is :).

Interesting new OCD there, also I find it vaguely odd that there's no actual Super GT cars there, but there were in the previous one I guess.
-
I guess this could suggest you might want to pick up a rally car for the next seasonal.
-
I'm secretly hoping there's going to be a rally seasonal, that would be cool! Even a (another?) rally time trial would be cool.
-
Only 5 cars for less than 100,000 credits!
-
I wouldn't count on a rally seasonal. We had a very similar OCD line up to that a while back. I remember this, because I bought all of those rally cars. I think there might be only 3 or 4 cars on that list I don't have already.
-
Good point Chrome, didn't they do a Drift Trial on a rally track a while back too? I've been collecting cars for a while (especially the rally ones) so the only rally car I didn't have was the Subaru Impreza Prototype Rally Car, the funny prodrive style one with the round headlights, because I'd been avoiding it (I really don't like that round headlight style on that car).
I guess we can always hope though, Rallying is on thing GT5 is really lacking in especially compared to GT4 for me, so many sweet rally cars and very little chance to use them in a fitting environment (i.e. rally events). Though they are fun to drive on regular tracks it's just not the same racing against production cars or different class race cars.
Hmm maybe we should get some kind of Tuna rally event going, do dirt / snow tracks even work online or would it limited to a tarmac rally (which still would be cool)?
-
The feel of the rally events in 5 are way off from 4. I was really looking forward to it, because I did more of that in 4 than anything else. I haven't hardly touched 5's rallies. :(
-
I kind of liked the setup of the Special Event rallies, the sort of stage based time trial thing, but with almost no replay value to them once you've got 1st place it's really a shame they didn't put something into A-Spec. I seem to remember Cathedral Rocks and the Grand Canyon were two of my favourite GT4 rally tracks, though I did really like the (and hate) those two tight village tarmac courses too, heck I liked all of them I think lol.

They went to the trouble of having co-driver instructions but only used them for the special events. There are so many great features in GT5 that just never got fully developed.

Tahiti Maze, best GT rally track ever. 8)

Another new Seasonal event just popped up!!
An interesting development tonight, I'd been taking some photos in practice mode and was going to run some seasonals just now to get some shots of my Ferrari California with other cars and >>BLAM<< (like Adam West in Batman) I see this new seasonal! I wonder if it's because it's a fairly major holiday weekend in the US (would seem odd though since it's just a US holiday) or perhaps because of the Nocheaterring Time Trial removal the other day, who knows.. but there it is :).
Uhm Isn't it Canada Day Today? That's a pretty major holiday for the Canadians, (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)
Recently realized that Canada Day and U.S. Independence Day are only 3 days apart....Duh.
:-\
-
Oops, didn't realise there's a Canadian holiday around this weekend too :-[. I wonder if there are any other holidays in other countries around this time then?
-

Even those aren't done right. The word "into" is an important word PD!!!!!!!

I'm going to take some time off and earn some credits, to buy some more cars.
Any important / good LM cars that I should shoot for first?

All of them :) Start with the Camaro, then the Ford. The rest is preference...well, so was the first part. I believe that although the RX7 comes with low hp (by class standards) with about 525, added turbos can give it a huge boost.

I'll 2rd the Camaro. Really good driving/running car.

Ah-hem, back to the seasonal events...
In the Compact Car/Tokyo event, try using a stock '96 Elise with power adjusted to 400-405PP.
You will need to do some suspension tuning with what they give you, to stop spinning.

OK, but I just happened to accidentally enter the new series with the car that was loaded. I had no idea what it even was until the race started. Even at that, it was already at 450PP, so I had to reduce it as the engine wore in. Otherwise, I ran it stock.
A little suspension adjustment and it got better. I'm not sure I did the right thing with the brake balance because the front still gets real squirrelly, esp when releasing the brakes.
-
I haven't driven any of the Elises really, but for other MR cars I've found that higher Front and lower Rear brake power tends to work well (I usually set mine to 7-Front and 3-Rear if the front end is getting wobbly under braking).
-
I spent a little time doing the Drift Trials yesterday before ShoSho, and let me tell you, it's a lot easy if you have something with 6-700hp. Both tracks require you to sustain at least one long drift, and it helps to have a bunch of power. I managed get get ranked at 125rd on one of them, can't remember which one, as I ran both on 2 accounts. (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)
Make sure you guys run those and the TT's, it's 4 million total for all 4. (1 time only)

I used the VW Golf IV GTI (RM) '01....was very nice and stable...spanked the field at 450PP. And YES the IDIOTS are at it again...The NASCAR Time Trial Race at Suzuka East is won easily enough with a stock Nascar vehicle ( I scored a 51.013 - and I'm 3,999nd place - WAT?), so a whole bunch of ASSHOLES found a glitch.......FUCKERS. I'm looking at the times and saying, "18.431 for a lap time? What the FUCK ?"
Eh, Kids - whadayagonnado? Don't get me wrong, I Like children - when properly cooked.

I may go back and try the drift trials with a better car, I did both with my Lexus IS200 GT-1 Race Car @ 383hp. I think I got into the top 1000 on both but it sounds like it'd be a lot easier with a more powerful car :).
Speaking of the Compact Car race, I've so far run 4 cars through at around 380-400pp. Lancia Delta Integrale, VW Polo GTi, Vauxhall Tigra and Corsa, all really fun little cars (well the Delta isn't "that" little but it qualifies lol) and I plan on running many more through that fit. May be worth making an evnet for the smaller stuff one of these days as there's a pretty wide variety.
-

Come on, TunahCroonah, get the lead out, eh? :D
Apparently, a wing counts towards the overall length.
Add a wing to the Lancia Delta HF Integrale and you will be rejected.
Take it off and you will be allowed in again.

Really? Hmm I'll have to check mine, I was sure I had a carbonfibre thing on it but it might be a stock size alternate one then.. definitely not a great big honkin' spoiler type thing though if that's what you're talking about :).
-
Ok, it may be only certain wings, then.
Let us know what you find, if you experiment further.

easy money in the "races" with my MX5 Cup Miata. Have yet to try the time trial farces,won't do the drift because of inability
-
Get a gold time at Suzuka soon because, when I reported it today, SCEA seemed unaware of the issue.
They usually fix these problems by just removing them.
On the plus/down side, you can get gold on your first lap, if you moderate your pedals.

...I can cut into the 48's without moderating my pedals......
*EDIT*
What I wish PD would do as oppoised to just shutting them down is have a hidden minimum time, anything below that is disqualified. Suzuka for example, anything under 40 seconds or there abouts.

Since my curiosity got the better of me I checked my Delta :)..
Type B Rear, Type A Front = 3900mm length
Type C Rear, Standard Front = 3900mm length
Dealership stats = 3900mm length
.. looking at the type of front / rear addons they don't visually look like they go out past the front / rear bumper, especially since the wing is more of a roof spoiler than a typical rear wing. This might be different for other cars though if they have the great big wings on the trunk and huge splitters on the front that could stick out further than the stock bumper does.
I wonder if the problem you had was with the PP rather than the length, MasterGT? My Delta does have a lot done to it but I took off all the power mods I could so it was down around 400pp with a wing already on before I tried to enter the race.

Well, I started this off with using "apparently" because this was something I was told, not something I experimented with myself.
Apparently, I should have checked it myself, first. :-[
-
Ahh, sorry, I misread and thought it was something you'd experienced yourself :-[. It would be interesting to know though if some of the Aero parts do alter the car dimensions though :).
-
If you want an easy time of the new seasonal events; the "Reefer Madness" RM Golf does especially swimmingly.
If fact, the race on Cape Ring Periphery is extremely FUN in this car and may deserve its own drive-in in the future. Take the RM2 Golf 420pp there for a spin and tell me what you think...
Might be a real fun combo for a much longer race - one requiring pitstops...

-
And unlike some other events, you can win these with matching spec (<400pp) cars on sports tires.
-
Oh boy!
:stoopid:
-
this was actually FUN!!! The Miata is a "great little car"... Ah, wait... They already used that one for the GLC/Protege'/323/Mazda3/Atenza...
For a preview of the 08/19 Midnight Show, try the previous seasonal (world compact car) at Cape Ring in the two Giulias. A very FUN ride!!!
-
I'm not really that impressed with the Mazda seasonal, I mean I have like 50 different MX-5 / Miata / Roadster variants but after doing it once (I ended up using two premium ones I had knocking around) I have little to no desire to rerun any of the races.
Ones like the World Compact Cars and British Lightweights (even the Super GT one to a degree) have much more replay potential for me at least, quite a variety of car choices and a good number of enjoyable tracks. Fingers crossed there will be one this week that's as good :).
-
I only have two miatas and they are both the premium one from the dealership, one is pretty stock and the other has all the extras. I wound up using the seasonal as a test and tune session. I didn't even bother trying to handicap the cars, because you'll outrun the AI after about two laps.
I treated it like a burglary, get in and out, with the loot, as fast as possible.

That's the way I look at these things. It's just a money machine that allows me to keep over 19millions in my account. I'm not sure why I bother as I seldom buy anything. Other than a recent shopping spree to acquire all the NASCAR cars (I don't know why) the only time I buy a car now is when I need it for one of the evnets.
I did notice this... and I'm sorry, the details escape me... one of the events offered a First Place Prize of 500,000 credits. When I golded it I was awarded a million. I think it was the Time Trial.

The prizes for the Time / Drift Trial events are a one off cumulative prizes, there are prizes for coming in 1nd, 2rd or 3st and you get the prize for your highest position and all previous prizes but only once. So if you came 1nd the first time try it you get all 3 prizes which total up to 1mil (500k + 350K + 150k I think).
-
So there's a new Seasonal event up, first glance it's basically like the GT500 one but different cars.. here's the scoop.

German Touring Car Championship - DTM cars up to 650pp, any tires
(AI cars 537-593PP on Racing: Hard tires)
Eiger Nordwand Short Track (Reverse) - 5 Laps

2nd = 284,700 + Paint
3rd = 249,900 + Horn
Indianapolis Super Speedway - 5 Laps
1st = 399,000 + Helmet
2nd = 243,600 + Paint
3rd = 214,200 + Horn
Madrid City (reverse) - 5 Laps
1st = 484,200 + Suit
2nd = 294,900 + Paint

No new Time / Drift trials but there is an OCD update, mostly it contains a selection of GT500 and DTM cars (all half price and 0 mileage).
-
I got suped when I saw this last night, german tourers. Then I found I didn't have many. Then I checked the OCD and ^-^ ^-^ I'll be spending all the cash I earned this week tonight!

Wile I can appreciate the half price special and zero miles on the cars, this is just about the same as what was offered a couple months ago. Have the lever pulling monkeys been transfered to the Online dealership department?
-
NO, NO, NO. No more lever pulling monkey. I've had enough of that douche bag for a life time. >:(
Side note, I'll never understand why PD thought suits, helmets and horns were a good idea. What a waste of time and resources, IMO.
Oh, I don't want to forget about those lovely museum cards that are so useful to me in game.
Sorry, back to your regularly scheduled program.
-

I don't know if I had the cash back when this set first showed up, but there are still a handful here I don't have (R8s!!! and Pescarolo)
That said, I'm really effin tired of seeing the FGT and Veyron in there week after week.
-

No FGT this week! And yes, this is nearly identical to the set a month or two back, but I missed them then, so this is a wonderful opportunity for me to get what I missed now that I have the money!

I have one in my OCD...
It's after the R8 (race car) but before the R8 (touring cars)... The FGT is always in there... The Veyron only appears every2-3 weeks (but at least recently it is half-price).
This is the first OCD update in a while that had any cars I needed for my collection. I was missing all three of the R8s.
Love getting them at a discount! (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/signes-smileys-emoticons99.gif)
When they've appeared in the UCD, I've never had enough cash. Bought all three this morning for abot 25% more than the cost of the black "PlayStation" R8 alone at regular price...
-
When the game first came out people were understandably pissed waiting for an FGT to show up in the UCD so they could do the FGT Championship.

D'oh, you got here before I got home and could redeem my post! I'm used to it being bottom right slot, everytime, all the time. I sees it now. Maybe I should see the eye Dr, it's only been about 8 years....

-
Zoidbergring 24 Hour - 1 lap
1st = 678,900 + Helmet
2nd = 413,400 + Paint

Oh I'm gonna spam the shit outta this one. :)
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sVUvpdT-NY#)
-
That was my first thought too Wizard, but then I got to thinking.. Le Mans car + Zoidbergring could end up being more hassle than 5 laps around Monza, at least the way I drive those high powered cars :D.
It's all about the Revenue :P
Jason Downs - Revenue (cats in the craddle) with lyrics (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gGdM489K2I#)

3rd = 363,000 + Horn

:stoopid:
-
Zoidbergring LOL
I'm looking at the tracks and laps, I figure it will take me around 6 to 7 minutes to do any one of them.
-
Real Circuit Tour, I like real tracks. :)
-
Too tired for ShoSho, which i didn't see anybody running it anyway, so i ran a few of these. Figured I'd try the RMed ZR1 on R3s at 686pp. Made for a fairly close race at Monza, but still pretty easy. Fuji was a breeze, won by just over 3 seconds, with a minor off track excursion. Skipped Latuna Seca, and Supuka. Finished 3th twice at the Ring, mainly because I'm just not good enough to run that car all out, and stay on the track.
-
Tried the Zonda at Nincompoopring and only got 7rd. Not knowing all parts of the track didn't help me either. (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif) Moved up to the Sauber. Fared much better. :D Still a close race which made it fun. Went over to Fuji and cleaned up there.
-
These are pretty good to run after a long days work. Don't have to worry about ramming into other people. I have trouble with the first couple of turns at the 24h so I'll practice those tonight. Finished Portal2 single player last night. Great game.
-
Shot through them like an arrow through a watermelon. Used the Toyota GT One and had no problems with any of the races. The most fun was Furburger Ring!
-
Trying to go over 200 MPH on the Nurburgring does not place you in a natural state of mind.
I sure hope the AI get an "education" with the next big update.
-
Le Mans cars and the Nurb don't sit well with me at all, I'd have much preferred a La Sarthe track and I don't even like driving there in Le Mans cars lol. Took me probably a half dozen failed attempts with various cars before I finally broke gold with a 1000hp+ Nissan R92CP on Racing: Soft, definitely won't be redoing that one though I likely will try the other 4 tracks over with different cars.
-
I sorted my cars by HP, picked the blue/white Toyota 88C somethinorother and failed on the first two attempts while I felt everything out.
Since then I've bought as many expensive cars as I can afford. Having said that, I've noticed that, with cash in the vault, the Used Dealership puts more expensive cars on the lot than when I was perpetually broke. That sucks the credits right out of my account, but at least I am buying some good cars.
These prize helmets had better be made out of gold because I am gliding million dollar cars around the Ring and winning, so I win a brain-bucket? :jimi:
For the life of me, I just don't see any VWs, either, and I still need a Beetle RSi. :P
-
New Seasonal, the big Nascar Challange special event..
NASCAR Challenge Seasonal / Special

Indy Road Course - 5 laps - 1st place = 1.5mil Cr / 400k XP / Modern Muscle Car ticket
Rome City Reverse - 5 laps - 1st place = 1.5mil Cr / 400k XP / NASCAR Car ticket

Unrestricted PP / Racing: Hard Tires / car provided for you on all races.
Time Trial
Eiger Nordwand W Trail - 295hp / 1200kg / Dirt tires (any car)
Fuji Speedway F - 345hp / 1100kg / Sports: Medium tires (FR / MR / RR only)

All prizes for the Drift / Time Trials AND the NASCAR Challenge are one time only rewards.
EDIT - Just checked and the OCD has also been updated, this time it's 60s / 70s Japanese cars. Some nice rides there if you need them including the old Nissan / Mitsubishi rally cars and the Honda S800 RSC.
-
Just ran through the first race at Trial Mountain, you're not allowed to tune the car in any way save for adjusting some of the Driver Aids (not ideal, but ok..), biggest thing to note is that Skid Recovery Force is forced ON. This IMO is a bad idea, it basically made this race stupidly easy to the point that even with my wild "it's AI so I don't care" driving style, numerous bad corners / wall slams and almost rolling the car at least once on that last corner thing I still managed to finish 10 seconds ahead of the 2nd place car.
If I was actually trying to drive well I'd imagine I'd have been another 5-10 seconds further ahead on top of that, I just checked the final Suzuka race for the special outfit and it's the same.. Skid Recovery Force ON, don't have time to run it right now but unless the 1st place car starts stupidly far in front (which it might) it'll likely be too easy. I'd have thought for the special prize like that that it would be harder (i.e. no SRF) so maybe it's an error on PD's part jamming that aid on, I don't know.
I will say this though, I did enjoy blasting around Trial Mountain in a Nascar so it's a shame there's no repeat prize / incentive to redo the races. Even if after you receive the initial big prize + ticket the rewards switch to basic seasonal payouts like 300k and a helmet / suit for 1st place that'd be more than enough incentive, at least for me, to rerun them a few times.
-
For the life of me, I just don't see any VWs, either, and I still need a Beetle RSi. :P
All you needed to do was ask... I have a slightly used one (12K miles) from "Herbie Goes To Monte Carlo" - I fixed it to run the event but I ran older Vdubs (standard and ghia) instead.
The network seems to be down at the moment but when it comes back I will stick it on an e-card and send it your way...
Which reminds me... Hey Revengel, I was going to send you a 1970 ticket (think about a second Chaparral - the one you like; only a zero miles one...) but you ain't on my Friend's List... What's up with that? :huh
-
On the Real Circuits...
What did y'all use for the :fuck MeRunningBullShitRing race? I pass the first three cars on the GP portion and then fall behind for the rest of the :fuck ing race... (Using the same car I used for the others but my gearing must suck. Any advice?

Oh, that's quite all right. It's good to have goals. ^-^ :lolz
I used the opportunity to get some high cash racing done on the Numbnutz Ring and I now have a bit more than half of the cars, including some moderately expensive ones, so it's all good. I still need to work up to the highly expensive ones, but I needed this RSi first. That part is over.
-
the seasonal event to get jeff gordon attire is incredibly easy so are al the others still got 2 to do but i dont have time this morning to do them

:huh This will take a day or so based on gift restrictions. I need to get it to an id that has MastrGT on the Friends List (i.e. my original PSN) I have two RSi's to choose from; both used. I've never driven either one though I painted one for a past evnet. One has like 36K miles and the other has just over 12K - the 12K is now Reflex Purple... Which would you prefer?
-
One finally showed up on Saturday, Charlietuna.
I'm not sure at this time how many miles are on it, so I'll compare them to see if there is any advantage.

RMed ZR1 at 686pp, I was able to win all the races. I actually ran the LSD in a very tight setup. High acceleration sens. setting kept the car somewhat calm.
I can post my tune when I get home, if interested.

I tried the Audi R10... instant death. Then I found the answer:
Audi R8 Race Car (Audi Team PlayStation Oreca) '05. Racing Softs. Cake.
(just don't let go of the steering wheel on the straight or you will crash. And lose. And die.)
-
I think I ended up winning the Nurb with the Nissan R92CP Racecar with Racing Softs and the Stage 3 Turbo to kick it over the 1000hp mark.
-
So I put my new Special Outfit to good use, I've Jeffercized one of my B-Spec drivers.. that's right, I now have a Jeff-Bob :D.

Getting gold in this week's drift trials is insanely easy. Quick 2 million credits.
speak for yourself :( :'(
I tried many a time with some kind of Lotus '90 (?) I think I got 1,500. :-\
The Madrid time trial is a bit tough. The other is so easy. What gives? Not that I mind a bit of a challenge.
-
Speaking of the Madrid time trial, IMO they need to replace it with a different track or make major changes to what invalidates times on the track in terms of barrier / wall contact.
I just watched the replay for the current 1st place person on the leaderboard, it's ridiculous.. head down the first straight to the hairpin and handbrake to slide sideways into the barrier, take off down the next straight through the slight right hand curve and down the hill to ricochet off the right wall and carry speed through the sharp left hander, along the next bit past the pit entrance to the final corner where it's another handbrake slide into the barrier.
There's simply no way that degree of wall contact should be allowed in a time trial event.
But for those that might be having a hard time with Madrid, I found that having Traction Control set to 1 really helps settle the car down and it looks like car choice also plays a pretty big part in it. I only tried a couple of the multitude of road cars but I'm thinking that race spec or tuner cars are the way to go, my first win was with the Citroen Xsara Rally Car and I just ran a gold time on my other account with the Honda Integra Type R Touring Car, popular leaderboard cars are the Honda Integra RM and Trial Celica so I'd expect the TRD Celica, Spoon Civic / Integra and RM'd Golf / Civic to also be pretty good.
For the Drift Trials, particularly at Daytuna I had some initial problems finding a line through the scoring zones to actually get points safely without wiping out. I found running through the course a couple of times first mostly driving a racing line helped me figure out the easiest places to get the tail out for easy points enough to at least get the gold score, for Monaco I have a feeling that a lighter / lower powered car might be easier if you can find one you're happy with. For giggles I busted out my Spitfire but I'm sure there are better choices (Lotus Elise springs to mind after their comedy AI performances in the British Lightweights seasonal at the same track).
-
I didn't look at the seasonal TT leaderboard, but thought of the RMed Integra right off the bat for Madrid. Just had to dial back the HP, and done it without using TC. Don't remember my time, all I wanted was the credits.
For the DRC drift, I used the Benz 190 Evo from the online dealer. Added race suspension, intake & filter, chip, and full exhaust. Brought it up to 289hp, and forgot to do the oil change. The gold scores are so low, you don't have to do "pretty" drifts, just be spinning through the zones. Got gold on both in 1 attempt. Ran both multiple times to make some good looking runs.
Also, incase y'all don't know, it scores better if you drift close to the inside of the turn. Doesn't matter how far sideways you are, if you're not in the right place, and that bugs me about the scoring. I've pulled off some pretty cool stuff, only to see the score not increase at all because of my track position.
Also, also, I've been off work all week, and have accumulated a few pics, and will post up when I go back to work. A couple need to go through photoshop first.
-
I managed gold in the Mercedes event without cutting. I found it pretty tough on the comfort softs. It was also annoying how whenever you knocked a cone over, you had to restart.

New Seasonal Evnet is up, it's the faptacular...
Mini Challenge!

I managed gold in the Mercedes event without cutting. I found it pretty tough on the comfort softs. It was also annoying how whenever you knocked a cone over, you had to restart.
I've been wondering about this run a red lap and you have to restart crap. What kind of shit is that? On my best days, I'm lucky to run two laps in a row without hitting a cone or coming close to a line (there seem to be a few lines that you just have to look at wrong and your lap turns red). On cold tires that car is a bitch to drive and it takes 3 laps just to warm the tires up, so I never seem to have a good run.

Also I checked the OCD as I was logging out, mostly full with pre-1979 cars. Mostly muscle cars or similar, some nice historic race cars (2D, 2J, GT40) and the obligatory Veyron / Formula GT combo. All still half price and brand new!
-
The 2D is one of the few cars left that I only have a cloned copy for. Now I can by a brand spanking new one.

I wish I had the time to do some of these. :'( :(

I can't wait to win even more racing suits and helmets that don't do a FUCKING thing except take up space. Susej!!!
Give parts out. Tires, weight reductions, etc. Something that we can actually use in the damn game would be nice.
So tired of PD and that monster of an ego they carry around. Battlefield 3 can't come soon enough.

I don't mind the helmets and suits. I've got all the cars and can afford all the parts that I would need. Kind of nice to have something different. Most of the suits kind of suck though so now that I've got a combo that I like for my driver there isn't much incentive. The big problem is that the racing sucks. The ai is horrible the give up as soon as you start your pass. Most of the events are too easy if you are not careful and I don't have the time or motivation to try and make them harder. Not my idea of fun.

And most of them are too short. Having some races that are twenty to fifty laps on most tracks would go some of the way to improving the off-line races. I miss those.

:stoopid: I've been saying for a while I wish they could release more "races" instead of the seasonals. Granted it's fun and all, but I'm quite tired of a "pass all the cars" race(?) where it's impossible to find the perfect handicap, and even if you match the lead cars specs they start so much ahead of you that you basically HAVE to overpower the other cars to have a chance at first. I want RACING, you know, where everyone does laps together in similar cars, and there's passing goin on both directions. Eh, I guess looking back even the a-spec "races" weren't usually a field of similar cars, was always only 1 or 2 you really had to compete with.
Oh well, this is why aside from still building up my garage and occasionally raking in cash by golding the seasonals a single time, I've come to GT5 only for the multiplayer, and thank goodness for guys like you all here to race with! :jimi:
There is 1 thing I'm left patiently waiting for... ENDURANCE SAVES! I want to beat the last 2 24 hour enduro's in a-spec but not as they are! I still have 1 left in b-spec honestly I think, and maybe the fgt series there too... one day I'll complete this game, one day!

I'm with you on this. There's usually not a happy medium car you can run. I have a similar issue with my go-to endurance race. The 4-hour run at the Ring pays good credits for 4 hours work, but the cars are so dissimilar. To keep the four hour monotony interesting, I try to take a car that runs with the lead car in the field, but that lead car is so much faster than the other cars, it's just you and the one other car.
To be honest, and I was thinking about this just yesterday, I really miss the way some of the Prologue races were set up. They gave you the car, the PP/tires, and the track...and we took it from there.

RM civic won't work, they fixed that bug. I had to get out of mine last week just to get into the Monaco one last session.

I ran my seasonals there Monday and Tuesday of this week... Did they just block the RM Honda yesterday?
Anyway, I was just mentioning it because it would make for a nice drive-in car... (and it will...) ;D

Now that I think about it it was my RM Integra that they said was not "Normal" Never the less it is an RM and it (should be) safe to assume the RM takes it's normal status away.

New seasonal is up, don't have much info on it since it's late..
Formula Gran Turismo World Championship: High Speed Ring /10 Laps

Formula Gran Turismo World Championship: Tokyo Route 246 Reverse /10 Laps
Formula Gran Turismo World Championship: Eifel (Circuit) 110A /10 Laps
Rewards are your typical fair, though with the removal of the x3 prize modifier you only get like 200k for winning. On a side note they have added a different multiplier that I think works like the paints you get when you log in, goes up to 200% rewards based on how frequently you log in.

I suck at drifting as well. The only reason that I got the drifting psn trophy was that you can use rally cars on dirt for that. I just can't do the drifting seasonal events.

Just ran the first Formula GT race at the HSR..
:fuck ing WOW!
The F-GT handled very well with mostly stock settings (adjusted gears, downforce and tires), even using a controller, and the new cockpit view is :fuck ing awesome!
Still standard detail but it's almost like driving a low-res version of the premium F1 cars, combined with the handling the new view makes that car a great deal more fun to drive for me now :).

I noticed a significant change for the better, the machine handled like I remember it handling in GT4 almost.

I did ok at most of the Formula GT races but I'm pretty sure I won't be doing the Nurburgring 24 hour one, probably I just need to find a set up for that track specifically but the half dozen times I tried it last night I couldn't even get around a whole lap due to the car spinning and skidding all over the place.
Might be the car is just too stiff for such an uneven and twisty track or something else (I know, crap driver :laugh), was ok in the GP/F section but once I hit the Nordschleife I hear "You spin me right round.." blaring over the radio :).
-
ya Feldynn the Nurb is a good challenge in that car, I got it after said 1/2 dozen tries. I will share the car this afternoon and you can try the settings...... it's mostly the tune that Cobragirl shared soon after GT5 came out with a couple of "soksco" tweaks.
@ Ronin I agree, the car is more GT4ish than before

I borrowed one of Chrome's cars last night. I too suck at drifting and best I could manage was a 2,400. but most were around 1,600 to 1,800.

Of course, I was using a 69 Camaro too. I think my problem is with the quick steering that is required to keep a good drift. It's like my wheel takes too long to correct.

Well............PD has yet again FUCK ed up! Seems that one can no longer win suits or helmets at the online evnets. Only paint fucking chips and effing horns are available for now.
Notice.......No Announcements......Just........WTF!? Where did the suits and helmets go?
PD is REALLY starting to PISS me off with their cheap-ass antics.
New PD Slogan: "If we give you something, we must take away something. We must no be too generous".
There is simply no rhyme or reason for this BULLSHIT! Hey, PD: :fyou

Get that man a suit and helmet......STAT!! :o

Someone over at GTPlanet thought that this might because events were accidentally giving out DLC helmets and suits for free.
-
Someone over at GTPlanet thought that this might because events were accidentally giving out DLC helmets and suits for free.
I expect that's the case, since some of the DLC suits (and I assume helmets too) are just the basic ones like we already have I'm guessing there's been some kind of hiccup / cockup / :fuck up with the programming and they were unlocked or included as rewards for the Seasonals when they shouldn't have been. Since the WRC / Nascar ones are the combo costume and not separate suit / helmet they were probably out there too, but we had no way of winning that style of clothing as a prize so we simply didn't see them.
To me it's just another program bug, perhaps they were trying to rush stuff through and it wasn't QA'd or tested right and ended up getting out there, likely we'll see the return of the suit / helmet prizes either on the 18th when the DLC goes live or whenever they figure out how to stop DLC items being given away as prizes.
Seems typical of video game companies these days though, they rush out products (or the developers are forced to do so by their parent / marketing companies) that end up loaded with bugs, some of which are often glaring obvious and should have been caught in testing, knowing they can use the internet to throw out patch after patch to fix things that shouldn't have even made the release version. Gotta love "big business".
-
If you read the DLC info... You don't get all the suits/hellmitts - just a sampling... Maybe PD was afraid if you can get them for free that no one would opt for the DLC. Either way it's :fuck ed up. Why don't they just leave things be and let us have FUN!!!
Oh, and lift the $1M gifting moratorium... The games been out a year now.
Also also, don't we need a few more Jap cars - more than the paltry DLC group... I don't know about y'all but I think we could definitely use a few dozen more Skylines. :laugh

Something interesting I just found out, it appears the suits are back in the game. I just ran my E-Type Jag through 2 races from the Supercar Nostalgia seasonal and got a Woodland suit in yellow / red / blue / white from one of them and an old helmet from the other.
-
Yeah, I guess somebody bitched loud enough (no no (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/nonono.gif) Not ME! ) and they reinstalled the suits and helmets awards.
I mean, After all, It takes an IDIOT Not to realize that the bargain in the DLC is to buy the Complete Package. For what they're offering, why would we want to spen more money to exclude the suits and helmets package? Does not compute PD, You FUCK ing MORONS!
There, I feel much better now.

Notice: Cancellation of Seasonal Event
We have discovered a problem in the Gran Turismo 5 Seasonal Event, "Drift Trial No. 21" that had been released from Oct. 20. The distribution of this event has therefore been cancelled temporarily.
We will be re-releasing this event once the issue has been fixed. We apologize for this inconvenience.
Oh well, it was good while it lasted.. which was about 2 hours.

"PD Giveth, PD Taketh away!" :-\
That pretty much sums it up with simply EVERYTHING THEY DO.
When are these stupid IDIOTS going to get a clue? While they think they have the very best driving game on the planet (which they do), when are they going to "wise up " and see what else is going on in the racing game world? They could make their track creator so much better.....they could stop the stupid "credit control" and allow for trading of cars worth over a million....Oh, hell, what's the use........ :-\
Nope, didn't make me feel any better this time. :'(

B spec seasonals? BORING
-
Lol, beat me to it Chrome.. I was modifying my post when you snuck in :P.
-
Well that's just fucking great. My 1 B spec driver who sits at level 7 isn't equipped to be left on his own to do anything.
Oh well I guess I'll have to wait until next week to get some cash.
I could always use my time to load some more pics in the clubhouse ::)

I don't even have a b spec driver on my current account and of course sit at level 0.
B spec is the most boring shit ever.

Make your B Spec guys available and I'll run a few races with them this weekend. It should only take a couple of races to get them up the lvl 10.

Agreed, set them online. Plus if your sitting on 200% payout it goes double for race $ and double when you collect from your driver.
In the seasonal you can use Race control commands. SPEED UP! and OVER TAKE! over and over again. LOL Also you can modify the cars, so just over power the field a bit.
-
Got a Bob going, and threw him in the HSR race. Won and went to lvl 11, and added two more guys. Won the next one and added another guy. Working on Tokyo now, not sure my rookie is going to be up to it. ::)
-
they were too easy... started races, pressed INCREASE PACE and walked away. worked for each race. I was approx 25 under pp but had max tires allowed...
-
Took me 3 attempts at Tokyo, finally wised up and broke out the 2J.

My "Bobs" used the Spoon CR-Z for the first one and the RM Evo for the second and the RM IS-F for Tokyo two... Took a while to overtake the entire field in Tokyo. On the other races, they seem to do it by halfway thru...
-
If you want to have an exciting B-Spec race, go to the Expert Series and race the Historic Racing Car Cup Series - use a Jag XJ13 (which can be won by running the Indianapolis 500 Enduro A-Spec Race and win the B-Spec Prize: Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ2 carrozzata de ZAGATO.......worth 15 million.
The Cote' d'azur is the "hoot". Don't get frustrated with your b_spec Driver...the gearing is critical at Monaco!. (So too, at Deep Forest, but not as much as Monaco.
Oh, make sure that your b-spec "Bob" is at least at level 21

Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ2 carrozzata de ZAGATO.......worth 15 million.
Speaking of this car... Does anyone have a 1965 ticket? If so, what do you want for it...
I want more Alfa THC but the :fuck ing price is too steep...
:bong
Even though the car is totally chronic, with a ticket I can get it for swag prices...

Given the severe lack of grip / control for rallying I'm finding the new penalty system to be ridiculously over sensitive on the Eiger time trial, after a good 30 minutes I've yet to get halfway around the track before getting a penalty from even the slightest graze of the fence.
[EDIT]
You even get a penalty for landing heavily coming off a jump.. in the middle of the track!

It's not too bad, just slow down. I hit the wall on the downhill run the 1rd attempt, restarted, and just took my time. Got gold on the 2th run, by 20+ seconds.
The Cape Ring DT captured my attention, so I spent a little time on it. Got the score up to 10,6??, and just couldn't get it any higher. Was ranked 502st at the time. Seems that the Speed 12 is everybody's go to car for milking drift scores. I used a premium 88 Supra.
-
Yeah it's ok if you can get the hang of slowing down enough, almost too much in fact. The only good run I had just felt so wrong driving wise, like I was driving on eggshells or trying to tiptoe around the track just to make a clean run.
-
The gold time on the rally time trial is really low so you just have to be careful. I hit one or two walls on my first lap but my time was almost half a minute faster than gold. Took me four laps to get a clean lap.
-
I ran the rally track and got a penalty on the first run, but still turned in an unqualified time that was within 4 seconds of Gold. It Can be done, but as far as I'm concerned, with the newer penalty system and slipperiness, it just is too much of a PITA to be bothered with it.
Coupled with the "B-Spec" challenge, I think PD could do a bit better than they have over the last two weeks. Just sayin'......

Yup, it's A-spec :). The only troublesome opponent can be the Dome concept car, it runs a good amount faster than the other AI cars in the field (especially at Tsukuba) so you may have to over power your car or run on better tires to ensure a win if you see that and are trying to use something around their specs.

This one only took two tries for me to run a clean lap and get gold. :o The London time trial seems much more difficult. I settled on silver I think.

Yep, and another great car for those evnets: Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R (KPGC110) '73
and you may also want to try the Fairlady 280Z-L 2seater '78....fun car to drive. I tested the Mitsubishi LANCER 1600 GSR '74, Toyota 2000GT '67, Mitsubishi GALANT GTO MR '70, The Toyota SPORTS 800 '65 and the Honda S800 '66.
I had the MOST FUN with the LANCER 1600 GSR '74 - It was really fun to throw around on those courses, especially the last one at Toscana.
I have Put the Skyline 2000GT-R, The Fairlady 280Z, The Toyota SPORTS 800 '65 and the Mitsubishi LANCER in my "shared Car" list if anyone wants to try them. They are completely outfitted, so you can customize your settings however you wish. :D

Is this old news?
Starting at 12:01 AM PST on Monday November 21, Gran Turismo 5 players will be able to compete in a special Time Trial Challenge seasonal event, which will unlock a bonus car for use in other modes of the game.
The Gran Turismo 5 Time Trial Challenge takes place on a special Eifel Circuit 105A track designed by Polyphony Digital using the in-game Course Maker mode, and puts players behind the wheel of a Nissan GT-R (car is made available to users who do not have the car in their own garage).
What's more, players can unlock a very special Nissan GT-R for use just by competing in the event. Now is your chance to add a limited edition vehicle, featuring the same design as the Kyosho diecast GT-R Spec V that was available exclusively in the Gran Turismo 5 Collector's Edition (pictured above), to your collection of cars in Gran Turismo 5. After finishing the special time trial event, you will receive a message to redeem a car ticket at the "Car Delivery" truck on the My Home screen in order to unlock the vehicle and add it to your garage.

Sounds like Feldynn is having a Tallstar kind of week. Anything PD does just puts another target on them.
Actually, I agree Feldynn. Another frickin GT-R. I think the Japanese automakers are competing to see how many of their cars they can convince PD to include.

I read it as being a different car. It is the GT-R that came as the diecast model in the collector's edition not the stealth gt-r (that we either got as a preorder gift or as a late dlc gift.) Not certain about that but that was the impression that I got. However it is yet another gt-r.

It's just a race modded GT-R with Stelth mock up. It'll prolly be the same calibur as the V-35 GT-R TC.

Is it just me or does the new one look a bit like the special Academy GT-R that was given away in the EU region for participating in an Academy time trial event?

SRF is locked on. I feel a little dirty after doing this. Took a while to get used to the physics. Screeching tires are your friends. If your not losing grip, your not getting as much grip as you can.

Well, Loaded up with an oil change and Zero miles the Nissan GT-R Spec V (GT ACADEMY SPECIAL) is producing 841 HP @ 7400 rpm, Torque is a mere 642 ft-lb, and the weight (after reduction and the other stuff) is 1367 Kilos. 633PP.
Ah, yes Virginia, yet another Nissan GT-RRRRRRRRRRRRRRR for the stable.
So the "newest Kid" on the block puts out nearly 140 HP more than the Stealth Model and about 80 more lb-ft of torque......BUT the difference comes when you compare the weight _ the stealth only 1050 kg, or 327 kilos lighter than the Academy Special.( And I AM comparing apples to apples here).
The Stealth is rated at 661PP
Ho Hum (yawn), wonder what they're offering us for the Holidays - maybe a Nissan (Academy Special
of course) Be-1 - Race ready of course! That and five sets of comfort soft tires, (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)

If I remember correctly, the stealth is a GT500 race car. How do the academy cars specs compare to a normal Spec V? I suspect that they are the same or close to it.
-
Surprisingly enough, the GT-R Spec V '09 is maybe a toudh better:
845HP@7400 rpm
644 lb-ft torque
1367 kilos
645PP
Now again, the GT-Rs are ALL Loaded to the gills with improvements, bolt-ons and oil changes.
The Stock GT-R edges out the Academy Special by:
4 hp,
2 ft-lb of torque,
and 12 PP. Weight is the same.
Otherwise, other than the paint and wheels, they're a wash!
EDIT: I looked at the '09 GT-R and realized I had put over 400 miles on it, so it has break-in mileage (Did that when doing the Circle grind for b-spec points back in the day, lol). There may be a slight advantage to the Academy Special when it has "Break-in mileage" on it
Which, BTW, the Academy Special Race Number cannot be Changed like the Stealth....Grrrr >:(
-
I have no idea what you guys are talking about. Where is the free car lot?
-
Can you add any downforce parts to the Academy Special or does it come with built in downforce bits? I only wonder as with the stripes and black paint it reminds me a bit of that special N24 Schulze GT-R.
There's a new seasonal event, Rick, a time trial that you just have to take part in to get the car. The only benefit from posting a good time is the cash reward, the car should be given once you put in a time and exit the event back to the GT Life screen.

'cause you can add them to the Spec V '09 GT-R.
Oh, yeah, Thanks, PD (for?) Precisely.

Wow, PD really outdid themselves.......adding 3 races to the B-Spec Online Evnets.....way to go PD.....
(next, the monkeys will be assigned to send out the Seasonal Evnets since they got canned from doing the Prologue servers)
Happy Thanksgiving! Eat, turkey.......I mean, "Eat Turkey!" :palm
-
I got to thinking about this and I reckon it was a genius move, I mean look at it this way.. we that celebrate the giving of thanks are likely so stuffed with turkey, pie and other goodies that we're just too full to really bother properly doing seasonal races so these B-Spec ones are great.
Pick a car, start the race, take a nap, collect rewards. Genius ;D.

Ah, yes, the cup is half full! Did anyone happen to notice that :GT5 turned one year old on Thursday, November 24, 2011?

Yes, Virginia, the game is a year old already (and still needs work, (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/lol1.gif) ).
Notwithstanding, between the DLC (SPA) and the 2.01 up-date, the game is 200% better than the initial release. We just have to keep PD on it's toes and let them know there is still a long way to go before this title is where it should (could) be. But then, that's another thread, (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/lol1.gif)

I went to North Carolina for a week to visit my brother, and all of my accounts went back to 110% :'(
Now I am back up to 130% (Since the Issue I had with my wheel is resolved). Nonetheless, with 5 accounts, over 2400 cars, 4,000 paint chips, 700 helmets and 700 suits, 120 sets of soft racing tires, and 20,000,000 in each account (but then, who's counting? :lolz ) , I'm not too worried about making the cash back, (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif) I just wanna race with my friends when I can. :D I DO Believe that those without the cash SHOULD log in Daly to keep that 200% Bonus going....It's gravy, man!

Um, I thought the car limit was 2,000.
What is the real maximum number?

After about 50 laps just now I finally got under the 1 minute mark with a 58.316
Edit: Equally as impressive is ExXboxFan's 1'32.808 in the Madrid time trial. Very nice time, Ex.
Did a bunch of laps there too and got a 1'33.346
Also, that crazy looking Suzuki thing should be an event sometime. :)

Thank you both. I got down to a 54.977. And do feel with some more seat time it can come down a little more.

Seasonals have been changed no chance to improve oh well will have to see what they give us next.

Kick-ass time Baked. I did a session last night and managed a 59.061, which was hard for me to get. Those low speed corners probably kill my time.

Anyone don't want to spend 500,000$ to get the GT-R N24 Schulze needed for the online event ?
I bought one and shared it. I increased power to max allowed. No weight or time improvement allowed.
No tune, though. It's enough to get a gold. If I can get gold with this tune, anyone here can do it :)

Thanks Yvesf! :ttu

The Kart race Gold Trophy is easy after the 3nd lap and the tires warm up. Also: If you adjust the tranny on the kart down to a max 81, then push the final gear to the right (all the way), then adjust the final gear to 5.300, it's as easy as pie!
As with the Kart race, the GT-R N24 Schulze Motor sports race is easy too. Just gott tune the tranny down to about 166 MPH and the rest is just staying "smooth". :D

Any tips on the Ring drift, 1rd corner . :-\
Lots of speed, not neccessarily lots of power. The FT86 I used has about 375hp. Hit t1 in 5th, and hoped for the best. Started up high, initiated with the handbrake, and full throttle. The banking will pull you down to the inside, but with enough speed, you'll get all the way around, before you get to the bottom.
I'm still trying to determine where exactly is the prime scoring line is on these drift evnets. Sometimes it appears to be the same as the racing line, sometimes not. :-\

Ironically I took the opposite approach, Slow and steady along the stereotypical driving line of in wide through tight out wide. Starting medium wide at low speed, initiated with the torque in first and second gears coming out of the turn out near the far wall. I took the usual R-34 Blitz machine I have been using for a wile now as well. As long as the tires are spinning the banking does not influence it as much as people would think, it's when you begin to bite in, in high gears that it becomes a problem and you find your self driving down into the fence.
-
That Blitz has 5-600hp right? Which allows for a slower approach, that's why the Speed 12 is so popular. It can maintain a drift in 4th gear doing only 40mph. I had to get the FT86 rolling to make it all the way around.
-
theres a prize car now avalible for getting gold in all the events in the seasonals in each category

It's also turboed meaning it does not break free instantly and when it begins to bite, it really bites making it a little harder to work with. As for power, I am not sure right off hand, I'll have the check the car when I get home from work. I do know it currently sits in my garage at 588 pp, that is the only way I can tell the drift one from the other one in there.
*EDIT* yeah, 587 HP in my drift car.

And they're back-dated prizes too! Even though they removed a bunch of the older Seasonals there are still like 4 old ones, if you got 1st place / gold for every race in each section you will get a free ticket when you enter the section.. so say you got all gold in the Euro Hot-hatch Challenge earlier in the week, simply go to the race list for that event and you'll pick up a free prize ticket.
I forget all the ticket numbers but I definitely got a level 18 and 20 ticket for two of them, so it's well worth 60 seconds to click into each Seasonal Event.

Completing all the events in a seasonal now gives one level card, seemingly approprite to what sort of cars are beaten on by AIdiots in there. I went into the slightly older seasonals (the really old ones are gone) I had already completed and got various level tickets for having completed them. Some were new judging by the "installing" icon when I went to view them in my items list - I have one each of 3, 19, 20, 18, 2, 13 - in order of acquired date (those I have received since the 86 GT ticket).

Sorry Just saw this! lol, i'm such a tuna-nuub. anyways, yea Baked's time was awesome on the Red Bull x2010 trial recently. I've been studying the TTs, the spread of the results, the composition of North Americans, and such. I'm getting really geeky about it, really. Probably something no one else is doing. I'll make some other posts about what I've seen so far...
Thanks for the kind words about my madrid TT time. It's the first time I've gotten onto the top 250 board. (231 final) was really surprised, and I must say it's a great honor to have someone like Wizard compliment me! You were one of those guys several months ago in a GT Saturdays event that I saw race and was really impressed with. It was one of those, "hmm, I wonder if I could ever get there!?" and it appears I'm at least getting closer. Racing with really fast guys/gals like yourselves and others is what is getting me there. Also these TT's realy teach a lot about where to get rid of some time! (people always say "gain" time and I hate that misnomer, so I say lose or get rid of time).
Agree that the Suzuki GSX-R is a cool car once you tune it to keep from misbehaving. without tuning it is horrible, though. I suggest if it is used in a race that it is unrestricted tuning, with a PP limit.

The Kart race Gold Trophy is easy after the 3nd lap and the tires warm up. Also: If you adjust the tranny on the kart down to a max 81, then push the final gear to the right (all the way), then adjust the final gear to 5.300, it's as easy as pie!
As with the Kart race, the GT-R N24 Schulze Motor sports race is easy too. Just gott tune the tranny down to about 166 MPH and the rest is just staying "smooth". :D
I got gold on these two first lap. I had done some practice on my own weeks prior to this TT for KartSpace, and had already figured out how to get a 34.xxx second lap. That, apparently is semi-fast, but around four seconds off the leader at this juncture.
I'm at 33.3xx right now, and for the past two days I have not been able to even come close to matching my own time! It's getting really frustrating, and I keep seeing the leaders lose time every day. I'm at the "what the fuck are they doing?" stage of trying to learn.
How the hell do they do it?
So you made a comment that's got me thinking. You suggested messing with the final drive, and I think made a typo. You said to adjust the final drive twice. Can you restate that, please?
Then, do you have any insight into why adjusting the front/rear gears (final/1rd) would independently make a different type of accel and handling?
For instance, if you adjust the 1rd gear to acheive a particular top speed, how is that different than leaving 1rd alone and adjusting the final to acheive the same top end? I understand why it is different on multi-gear cars, but not on the single gear systme that the karts have.
thanks.

Damn it, I've been ignoring Seasonals so much, I didn't even know these tickets existed. I got the TT prize cars (the GT-R and the X2010), but I had no idea they were giving away car tickets again. I'll have to go kick AI ass tomorrow.

They exist since 2.02 update a few days ago, so you didn't miss anything. You just need to run the past events to get the car tickets, and just enter the event screen to get the car ticket if you already ran some of them.

I get it now. The thing is, I haven't completed any seasonals before yesterday (when I did one, and got a level 20 for completing the super GT races), so I have no tickets waiting for me.

I'm in the exact same situation, Turbo - I don't think that I EVER completed an entire series before, I have little interest in beating up on the AI as it gets boring pretty quickly... In fact, I've barely been racing at all lately for reasons unknown...

FUCK the money! I've tried the LeMans race and they've handed me my ass - twice! I used the Toyota GT One and it sucks there at the required PP. And what's with this FUCKING Pit stop light coming on for EACH Friggin' Lap? WTF, PD?
While the LeMans race is cool - what with the weather and time changes, the pit stop light coming on all the time really FUCK s up your strategy....especially at night time when you can easily lose track of where the pits are in the dark. Call me old and stogy (no no (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/nonono.gif) don't do that, (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/lol1.gif) ), but there is something screwy with the cash payout and the 10 lap endurance race - which by the way, has tire wear ON..... Something we haven't seen in the past online seasonal evnets.
So, Good Luck fellas with getting the 3,000,000 (6,000,000 if you have the 200% bonus) into your bank.

Psst.... try placing intermediate tires on... that fix'd that problem for me...
As for my LeMans experience. My driver was doing just fine. He Had the lead at lap 6 and held it until lap 9 at the Mullsanne corner... where he went into the grass and refused to go above 50 MPH until Arnage.... or is it Indianapolis? oh well. Doesnt matter, that screwed up my race. lol
-
I'm reading over at GTP that lots of folks are having good luck with the Chaparral 2J on sport softs, even though it's short on PP. Don't even have to pit at all and they're just spamming the Pace Up command.
-
Hopefully you've trained your b-spec guys. I put mine in a car (on intermediates because of the saturation level of the track) and turned them loose...
If you haven't trained them, try to keep commands to the driver to a minimum because each command you give increase his stress level which is why even when ahead they can :fuck up...
Training hints... use pace up on long straights, pace down on tricky corners, and overtake to pass on curves. Once ahead I would give them one more pace up and then let them go... when you are ahead by a pitstop (approx 20sec) you can basically say maintain pace...
DO NOT spam the commands unless you wish to stress out your driver (which will make him wipe out)
Don't get me wrong, they still may do stupid things... mine pitted on the start of lap 9 because tire wear dropped to half (they auto-pit when that happens; only way around it is to watch and when they turn on the PIT mode you say NO PIT). Since I wasn't watching, he went to racing hards for the last two laps -- but by then his lead was too big to blow...
Ka-ching!!! (too bad it's a waste of experience points...)
I took time in the beginning to "train" my drivers. (They did 5-10 laps on each track and I also gave them 5-10 laps "schooling" on the different drive trains and how they behave). Then I turned them loose...
Maybe it is just because all my b-spec guys are level 40 (and have been for over a year) but I just "set it and forget it" on b-spec. I don't remember when I last gave them a command...
-
The B-spec ones can be re-run for another dose of the millions, too.
Each one took 2 tries for me. They're both tough enough most of us will have to pay attention, if only to prevent pitstop-related dumbassery. The rain seemed scripted on both my runs; the rain doesn't last at either place.
Sarthe took 2 pitstops for me; started on Hards, pitted for inters when the rain picked up and surface water got up to 30 or so %, pitted for Hards with 1 to go (was not likely to last on the inters as it had dried out). Audi R8 PS Team Oreca.
Spa was a 1-stop with a tire change, but I forget what I started with. Old crappy au Cerumo Supra.
-
It seems like the early '00 audi's are the way to go for the sarthe event.
-
I just noticed a Bentley Speed 8 in my UCD... is that any good for any of you all?
-
It seems like the early '00 audi's are the way to go for the sarthe event.
I was figuring that as a next move. Oh, BTW, Charlie - I don't have any problems with my 3 LVL 40 Drivers - they were all trained very well. To that point, I DID start The SPA Race w/ Intermediate tires as well and kept them on throughout the entire race - it worked fine! I used the Xanavi Nismo Z '06 - great torque and, with a bit of creative gearing, won the race by 12+ seconds.
So I am to understand that the Le Sarthe Race needs to start out on intermediates as well? O.K., I'll give 'er a try with a Pescarolo first....if no success, then I'll try the Chaparral. Thanks, guys!
Looks at watch.....Hm... it took 2 attempts after I tried the intermediates and the friggin' driver didn't ignore the pit cancellation order.....that was a teeny bit less than an hour...... Gotta be able to do the Le Sarthe race in about 45 mins., eh
Oh, and I did have the full 200% bonus in effect and collected 3,000,000 for the win at Spa!

Hey Ma, I found a new ATM!
I'd be in that line except I don't have anything significant left to spend Cr on. The 6M from Sarthe almost maxed me out. All I don't have are some of the shitboxes (which I'm waiting for low-km examples to wander into my UCD) and some premo SuperGT cars (which are nearly useless to me, all they do is clog the garage, and can be bought whenever).
New 0km FGTs? Got 7.
New 0km LMPs? All the ones in last nights' OUCD update I already had with 0km ... from the last time they came thru there
New old 0km SuperGT cars? Got 'em all.
Veyrons? Got eleventeen of 'em already.
-
I just noticed a Bentley Speed 8 in my UCD... is that any good for any of you all?
I did Sarthe with the Bentley. Driver was ahead by lap4 but pitted for tires on five (everyone else pitted on four) he was 5st coming back out the pits but was back in the lead by seven. Dumbass pitted on lap nine putting the hot head I had started the race with back in the cockpit. he spun out 3 times on lap 10 but old faithful had built up such a lead before pitting that even Junior couldn't :fuck it up...
(for Spa I used the Epson NXS)
For the a-spec races I chose to be :oo7
Toyota 2000 GT with "You Only Live Twice" specs (bump your top-end or you'll bounce down the straight, thru turn one and into turn two)
Astin Martin from the "Die Another Day" evnet
and the Diablo for the finale (I prefer it over the Jap cars that fit...)

Just won Le Sarthe with the 2J at 653pp on Sport Softs, and no pit stops. My Bob was only at lvl25, so I definitely had to coach him along. I used pace up in moderation, and took 1rd by 3.7 seconds.

Why are you guys talking about using S3...I mean Sport Soft...tires for a race with racing tires????
I couldn't win Sarthe with my GT-One either. The 2 older Audis kept kicking ass...so I switched to my '01 and kicked ass. He pitted at end of lap 3 for Intermediate rain tires, and I didn't let my driver do the second pit.
I used the Premium Raybrig NSX for Spa, coached him into first in the first 3 laps, and left him alone.
-

"Street" tires seem to do better in the rain, and last a whole lot longer. AI pitting twice leaves the door wide open for a no pit race, even in a slower car.
Also, the Tokyo drift evnet is a :fucking joke. There's only a couple good places to drift there, and neither are used.
Also, also, Suzuka East drift is the shit. :)

2j and and audi r8s on sports soft kick ass as you dont need to pit wooooo a no pit stop race where you really shou;d pit this sportsoft tire statergy really works in many cars gonna try nissan r92cp on sports soft

I got within 50 lousy points of gold here. I need to fix that this morning. :D
You need some HP to get around the first sector in one drift. Hit t1 at about 90-100mph, clip the apex, swing wide. You should be going too fast for t2, and have to brake. Use the regular brakes just enough to scrub off some speed, tap the handbrake if you lost too much angle, and nail the throttle. Get to t2's inside as quick as you can, then swing wide on exit. You should easily score 4000 points in that one sector. It's tough to get big numbers in Sector 2, 3000 is good, I think. The 3th sector has good scoring potential, and the last one is the biggest. I hit 7000 points in the last one several times.

Ok guys, here is a way to manipulate Spa for a guaranteed win if you are like me and still have drivers who need levels.
Enter the room with racing hard but do not start the race. Wait until the track saturation indicator says 20% or less. Once the saturation indicator drops below 20% the AI will equip their cars with Racing Hard tires. Start the race with racing hard tires. Tell your boy to have faith in your weather man and do not pit. All AI cars will pit in at the end of lap one and again at the end of lap seven. Keep you boy off pit road, maintain pace right around the white mark in the pace indicator and administer ass whoopin.

Tokyo is not that bad, A joke with two sectors yes, but not bad once you find the line.
Ok guys, here is a way to manipulate Spa for a guaranteed win if you are like me and still have drivers who need levels.
Enter the room with racing hard but do not start the race. Wait until the track saturation indicator says 20% or less. Once the saturation indicator drops below 20% the AI will equip their cars with Racing Hard tires. Start the race with racing hard tires. Tell your boy to have faith in your weather man and do not pit. All AI cars will pit in at the end of lap one and again at the end of lap seven. Keep you boy off pit road, maintain pace right around the white mark in the pace indicator and administer ass whoopin.
Well if there is a way to manipulate Spa.. maybe this way would work in the La Sarthe race too!
No it doesn't, I tried, that is why it took me so long to actually post that. It's been sitting on my computer since 5:00PM EST yesterday

What are your BOBS levels at?
I tried this yesterday with my best BOB (he's only a 30 or 31 level) and got killed. He ran out of mental and physical strength by lap 7. He could barely stay on the track after that. I had to keep telling him to :FUCKING pace down so he would stay on the racing surface.
The cars and tire tips helped a lot. Thanks for the advice on that.

Most of mine are at 30 and 31 but I do have one I keep off line who is at 35. Suffice it to say he is suffering the fate you outlined at Le Mans. Spa is a different story, He was about to pull off a miracle until I screwed up and exited the race. It was in my disappointment from that that I decided to test the concept I outlined earlier.

Oh, Snap! Used the Audi R8 Race Car '01 and spanked the field with Sports softs!
2 races and 9 million in the bank.... Man, I Love this! I could just go on....... but enough...cars I used online for the latest seasonals are in my GTallstar acct.......feel free to use 'em. Oh, I used the Toyota 86 GT for Chamonix (shamonee!) TT - what a breeze! The Lotus Turbo HC is for the a-spec races. the rest is easy enough to figure out by their PP levels.
Yeesh, I'm horrible at B-spec......... No matter what I try, I can get INTO first but it never lasts.... Eventually I get passed and drop to the back. Have no clue what I'm doin wrong, especially when I hear that it's being done with lvl 25 Bobs and my guy is a 31... Shrug...

Same here with a Lv 35 and I am not really bad at calling the shots either. My drivers are well trained and still can't handle it at Le Mans.
Right now I am rerunning Spa a few times to get him a level or two in the hopes he can keep a little more strength for later in the race.
-
seriously guys its easy just equip a lm car at 700pp and use sports soft as they dont wear out in the rain and you can do a non pitstop race
-
I found a big difference in my bobs who have an arrow up as opposed to and arrow down at same level.

That's what I have been doing, but my idiot does one of three things. He either drives himself into the ground and has nothing left at the end or he falls off pace so badly that he can not catch the leaders wile they are on pit road or a combination to the two.
-

Arrow up means they are in peak form but they're also stoked and will suck up training like a sponge...
Straight arrow means they are in peak form but not great at learning new techniques...
Down arrow means they are kinda hung over and you should let them rest...

Charlie's recipe for LeMans:
Ingredients: Bentley Speed 8 on racing hards...
Steps:
Start race and choose OVERTAKE. He will pass the #11 car within the first set of turns. Wait until he starts up the first long straight and press INCREASE PACE. He will get up to 227mph with the draft and be in 8st place at the chicane. Set PIT STRATEGY to Racing Intermediates...
Now you have a couple of options... You can do the INCREASE PACE pace on the other two straights and get into 5st and take a break until lap ten; or if not you can take a break until lap nine... (approx 35min)
If lap 9:
Cancel going into the PIT and choose MAINTAIN PACE when they cross the finish to start lap 10 (all other cars will PIT); you will win by about 8 seconds -- would be more but the moron will wipe out coming out of Indy, fortunately you're about 15 seconds ahead when that happens.
If lap 10:
You will be in second place coming out of the pits in lap 10. Choose Overtake as he exits pits and then INCREASE PACE on first long straight... You can INCREASE PACE on the other two straights if you feel the need. If not, cool your jets until just before Indy and say DECREASE PACE and he won't wipe out on lap 10 (like he ALWAYS does, never has a problem until lap 10 and then even if fresh driver and fresh tires they will :fuck up Indy exit.
OPTIONAL Recipe additons:
FUN on Lap 8 [Abusing the AI]
If you want to stay and watch the entire race; try to be beside the Audi on their right going into Mulsanne on lap 8 -- even better if the other Bentley is beside the Audi and you're just behind them. They will wipe out on Mulsanne on lap 8 guaranteed, the car on the left will suffer the worst - if you are behind them you can ensure the car on the right will also take a tumble, either way he will stutter a bit and you can easily zip by. The car on the left will go way off into the Fresh Step so try to get the Audi there as it is you're biggest competition...

K, I just cleaned out my bank account to buy the Bentley so I hope it works! Lol
One question though - Are you pitting and going to intermediates or are you running racing hard all the way through??
-

Since I walk away after setting pit strategy to Racing Intermediates - the Bobs do (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/monkey.gif) see (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/monkey.gif) do and will pit with the leaders on lap 4. (your bobs will usually gain a place in the pits - good pit crew I guess)
Come back by lap nine and you can decide whether to cancel the autopit or not. Either way, DECREASE PACE thru Indy on lap 10 or your Bob will buy it there and lose about 8-10 seconds...
If you didn't pit you should be ahead by about 18 seconds so it won't matter but still it is kinda FUCK ed up to have them wreck each and every race at that spot at that particular time.
(http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/dunno.gif) I mean they made in the pouring rain, they made it at night, they made it in the pouring rain at night (at 60% water saturation even) and then FUCK up (even if a fresh driver) on lap 10 in the sun with an almost dry track...

RH tires for last stop Charlie?

RH tires for last stop Charlie?
If you choose to pit, I would recommend staying Racing Intermediate, the track doesn't get dry enough (under 30%) going into lap ten to warrant RH to finish, though if your lead is enough it shuldn't matter... The other guys will stick with RIs during their pit. I don't think it gets below 25% before the end...
(but watch out as you exit Indy on lap 10 -- I recommend telling the driver to decrease pace as you enter the area. then as you exit "cleanly" you will be ready to issue increase pace though I doubt you'll need to...
something I've noticed about OVERTAKE. they will try and pass opponents on the inside as you enter curves. so you can use this command on lap 8 just before Mulsanne to insure you aren't on the left during a two wide entrance.
The AI will loose it in the corner on lap 8 and the car on the left is toast, hopefully it will not be you.

Finally got a chance to run the B spec at Spa. Sticking with the Sport Soft, and no pit strategy, I grabbed a premium Calsonic GTR. With just a few pace up commands to my lvl 29 bob, he got up to 7nd by lap 6. Everybody pitted on lap 8, leaving the door wide open for an easy run to victory. Won by 21 seconds over 2rd place. Easy money. :)
-
How do you stop pitting in lap 1? Lap 1??? WTF. I forget how to cancel pitting. Thanks.

It's a command... PIT and NO PIT. Like OVERTAKE and MAINTAIN PACE

Running Sport Softs, my guy never wants to pit, and has a ton of tire left at the end.

For Le Sarthe I used the C60 Hybride. Pitted on lap 2, took the lead on lap 5 and pitted again on lap 8. (it wants to auto pit lap 9, don't forget to cancel that one) Charlie is right about needing the pace down. My guys had trouble @ Mulsanne corner.
For Spa I'm also using sports soft tires and no pits. Easy 4 mil. :)

That is where my guys are having trouble too. The last time I tried it my best guy off tracked there as well despite my telling them to pace down. What pissed me off the most was he had a shot right up until he off tracked there and proceeded to cruse at 50 MPH for the next 500 yards and then then repeated it the following lap and threw away the entire race on laps 7 and 8.

Well I'll be god damned.....the entire reason I could not win that race was a fucking LSD setting.

I may or may not have added a turbo to get the PP up. I've run so many different races, I don't remember if it needed it.
-
I used the Audi for Le Sarthe. It took me a few tries using a couple of different cars before deciding to run the Audi. Anyway, started on Racing Hards, pitted on lap 3 and ran Racing Intermediates to finish the race. I couldn't tell my driver enough to slow the pace for the last lap or two.
I forget what I ran for Spa, but I don't remember it being to difficult. I think I ran an NSX or something.
-
I ran the GT4 Playstation Audi at Le Mans, With the diff cranked to 10,60,60 I did not have to tell my drivers shit. They hammered that car through the rain with out a single blunder. I ran a two driver team because I was having issues with driver fatigue, I don't think it's necessary now that I see the car was being a bitch for them. That really pisses me off too, I had that that car tuned in such a way I could drive it on hard sports tires without problems but the bob gets into it he can't make it turn on racing tires....WTF is that.
Anyways....where was I, Oh yeah. And for the Spa race I sent them out in a Raybrig NSX on hard racing tires and used the weather fakeout.
-
Also, my drivers absolutely refuse to pass, even when riding someone's bumper. >:(

If I remember correct, the top choice in the pit strategy menu I have turned OFF. I'm pretty sure this will make your guy stay out until his tires are wore slam out. Which shouldn't be a problem in these races.
I find it odd that these races have given some such a problem. I always considered my bob a dumbass, but he handled these races like a champ.
Spa----lvl 29 bob, Calsonic GTR, SS tires, no pit. 1rd place, 1rd try with this car.
Sarthe--lvl 25 bob, 2J, SS tires, no pit. 1rd place, 1rd try with this car.

It baffles me. I have tried this (La Sarthe) near 30 times now. I've tried 3 different cars. My best is 1 second place finish. The money is nice, but damn, it's getting frustrating.
I must admit that my bobs are all Irish and have a bit of a drinking problem. Hey, they love (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/network-icon0.png). I cant blame them.

Find that C60 Hybride. Add 50kg and almost max aero use power slider to get to 700pp. The trans setting makes a difference too, but I don't remember what I eventually set it to. (You should see about 215mph in the straights in clean air and about 230mph drafting)
Start on Racing hard tires, pit lap 2 for inters. Pit again end of lap 8 also for inters. Do not forget as I did to call off auto pit on lap 9 or you will be as fucked as I was. You can use pace up anywhere you like. Except for Mulsanne Corner you should pace down.

Best way I have found, run a two driver team, set your LSD to max, Racing hard, have the first driver drive the wheels off the car and pit with the field, switch to racing intermediate and second driver and have the second driver maintain pace at the white mark for the remainder of the race.

The only tuning I gave the Bentley was bumping top end to 257mph... (and i don't think that was needed. fastest I've seen him go was 228mph in the draft)
-
My car was ten miles an hour faster in the draft. Could have been faster if he had stayed in it but my moron has this thing about being in the middle of the straight so he was constantly stepping out of the draft for no reason.
-
Overtake might correct that...
(http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/wile7.png)
Wile on curves they will try and take the inside; on straights they will snug up and try to do a colonoscopy on the competition. My guys act like good dawgs on straights - they like to sniff butt...
I quit watching replays last week so I am not entirely sure about top end - what I remember was 228mph consistently in the two straights... Lap 8 and lap 10 were the only laps where I noticed behavior that didn't match their capabilities. Lap 8 it was taking Mulsanne, Lap 10 it was exiting Indy...
My male teams do 40:30.xxx; but the females logged a 40:22.xxx the one time I ran them (their arrows are down so I have been running Roberts instead of Robertas... actually I've been sitting at $20M since Sunday with nothing desirable to buy so my drivers are taking a vacation...)

Well, this is getting fucking old. I'm thinking experience might have something to do me being unable to grab 1nd place. I have barely run any B-Spec races since the launch of this game. My Bobs my be a level 30 but they have zero training from me. I'm at that level due to you guys running my bobs.
I appreciate all the tips, advice and tricks that you all have put forth. I'm going to run this one more time and then call it fucking quits! Sure wish the Bentley would show up in the dealership. That's the one car I haven't tried.
Thanks again guys!

When I used the Bentley I only managed 3st. Charlies tips for it got me there though.

My bobs were trained by me spamming the pace up button. They still suck and need a superior car to get the job done.

All my Roberts/Robertas are Level 40 and the game says they should be 35, that may be the difference. My robo-drivers have been level 40 since before we could remote race with them.
I was going to try the sport tires trick from Spa, with that one i can run totally unattended. With the LeMans race, I need to start and then intervene around lap 9.

Pitted with majority of field, switched to Intermediate and changed driver. I wasn't in 2nd place by lap 6, but on Lap 9 pretty much the whole field pitted and I cancelled my lap 9 pit and won it easily. Boston I'll run your bobs some to get their level up

Well holy shat, I finally got 1rd in that damn La Sarthe B-spec race.
I said eff it and ran sports softs all race long. I pitted once on lap 5 and beat the punks by a meer 3 seconds.
I really belive the only reason I won the race was because it was the first time that the Bentley did not show up in the group.
Anyway, thanks again for all the assistance.

I ran the Raybrig NSX on Spa with sport softs. My guy had a 28 second lead on lap 8 after the pit stops but at the finish the lead was a mere 3 seconds. Whew....

I have tried the turn-key (sports soft) trick on LeMans with no success whatsoever. But the walk-thru method I listed works every time...
Sports softs seems to work turn-key at Spa however...
Also also, being a Mazda man, I used an under-powered Furai for the new "dream car" seasonal. The Jag gave me a bit of grief in the last two races. Of the two, Suzi was easiest, I caught the leader in 4 laps but we traded back and forth until the last two corners of lap 5. The last race was harder, it took three tries to get the rhythm down. I was running between 1:34 and 1:37 but you needed all 1:34.5s to win. However once I got the rhythm - I was easily in the lead by lap 3 and doing 1:27 to 1:29 laps...
-
^^ ya, that last one took me several times. You can't make any mistakes.
-
The Mazda 787B makes quick work of the Dream Car seasonal, and is a hoot to drive.

I finally succeeded in the Bspec LeMans with the Bentley on RH then pit after lap4 for intermediates. the Dream car was a dream in 787, 907 and the Bentley.
Also.... I noticed UCan posted a time in the time trial............ great to see him out there again.

I can't even win the Spa race anymore. :( Tried the Calsonic and NSX only got 6rd and 7st. >:( Sport soft just doesn't do it.

Your drivers are prolly getting bored, I know mine have issues when they do. Go run a handfull of other races untill his mood improves, worked for me.

I'm getting ticked off >:( with this! I hope they come out with some A Spec Seasonals with big pay so I can make up for all of the cash I'm spending stocking my garage with Nissan's for the series I'm running in.
With 1 B Spec driver at level 7 it's not worth even trying :'(.

When the PSN was down I had all my guys online and one open slot, I created a new guy and had him running the regular B-spec endurance races and he was at level 35 in no time at all.

Get him in the Spa race anyway even lower finishes pay well in money and exp. Keep checking to see about adding more drivers (not sure what level/number of drivers). When you have multiple drivers share one or two of them.

My biggest mistake was not waiting for track to get under 20% water level (or whatever that means) then used 03 NSX to score 12 million. (phew, finally got it) (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/facepalmsmiley.gif) I won't bother with the other track.
also.....more evnets, (http://i.imgur.com/i9lTnm7.jpg)

Anyone tried the SPA Time Trial yet? UGH!
690hp and 800 kg.....Not too many cars fit the bill or can be modded to do that. I have found more success with a lower hp car with less torque and using rain tires. intermediates aren't the answer here, nor are sports softs. Still trying to get up to a 3nd place finish. :'(
-
Haven't tried the wet one yet, but was able to gold the other with a bone stock GTR '07 in 2 laps. Took the "money" and ran.

It's a bitch for sure! The track starts out at 80% saturation and gets to 100% half way through. I was running regular cars (Audi Avant, One of the many GT-R's, etc.) at first, then I looked at the leader boards. Most everyone is using the J2 Industrial Box Fan. I tried it a few times before I called it quits. I need to get a better tune and some better gearing. clacksman is in the top 20 or 30 (sorry, can't remember). Well done.
-
The go-to cars according to the leaderboard are:
493HP SPA (dry) - Nissan R390 GT1 Road Car
690HP SPA (wet) - Chapparal 2J
I personally used:
493HP SPA (dry) - Mitsubishi Lancer Evo V
690HP SPA (wet) - Suzuki ESCUDO Dirt Trial Car
I used the default tires given for the wet track, full Rain tires, and they seemed to work quite well. I had no trouble getting gold with completely default settings, didn't do an oil change and even forgot to turn of the TCS :). With some proper tuning and a lower TC setting I could see that car putting out a pretty good time indeed in the right hands.
-
ok! Went with the Chapparal 2J w/rain tyres and just took it easy (carefully) around the track. "Patience" is the key word.
I kinda makes sense to use the 2J as it only has a 3 speed tranny and therefore, you can stretch out the torque the engine develops and maintain good speed (it also helps to look to see what others did in the TT in the online times, (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/zLOL.gif) . I do suggest that you put more braking force on the front wheels and raise the LSD to:
30
40
20
gear box should top out at about 200mph
camber, toe, springs and dampers are your choice.
After i set the car up and took a test run, it was easy enough to cinch a minimum 2 second lead over the gold std time requirement. Thanks Boston and Feldynn for the tips!
-
The scoring zones in the drift trials seem to be a lot tighter than before, and scoring will come to a halt if you get a lot of angle. WTF is up with that? It's a drifting evnet, and you get penalized for getting sideways. A few times it would clear a sector's score to zero when I'd be at full lock steering and max angle, but well in control, and no chance of spinning out. >:(
I don't even want to talk about the Eiger dirt drift. :P
-
clacksman is in the top 20 or 30 (sorry, can't remember). Well done.
fuck yeah rain
I went with the Playstation Oreca R8 (for max downforce) in the first hour it was up, and got 1st over however many 2Js were in in the first hour. Three more laps today in the leaderboard car (2J), was twentysomethingth when I set it. It'll drop as people figure out rain driving, as I'm ~5sec off overall lead. Might go back in later with wheel plugged in. 8)

The earthquake was in Aceh which is in North Sumatera.... thankfully a long way from here(Ciamis, West Java)
Thanks for asking.
I used a 908 for the wet race at Spa, did one lap with a spin then one clean lap got the million and bailed
-
I think part of the Fuji scoring zones oddness is due to the decreasing radius sections, you have to come in close then slide out and scrub off speed then cut back in quite a bit so it can make for some odd results. A couple of times I got some really good section scores for what I thought were terrible drifts and vice versa, but I think I kind of understand why.
Also, I hate you Chrome :P .. I may have to bust out my Mitusbishi AIRTREK again tomorrow and try for more points :laugh.
(nicely done though, you're at 506 on the leaderboard when I wrote this! Great job :) )

Thanks man. When I seen you were driving the Airtrek, I was wondering what the hell that was. Then seen it in the UCD, interesting choice. As you can see, I went with something different as well. I was surprised to be able to get 398hp out that old 200k mile Vette.
-
That's a nice 'Vette for sure, saw your pictures in the drift thread and it definitely looks nice.. much nicer than mine :D.
That AIRTREK is certainly an odd vehicle, I guess it's supposed to be a bit of a crossover or something because it's not quite car or an SUV but I think it's actually built on an EVO platform of some flavour.
I cranked it up to about 500hp fully modded and with the 4WD set to 10/90 it felt really comfortable drifting, enough power to spin up the wheels with or without E-brake assistance but it's surprisingly gentile about sliding around corners and doesn't try to kill you like some cars do :).

ive tried it and the scoring zone for the second section is where the glitch used to be and the scoring zone is pathetic too (http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r209/maxtheroadie/Joshua/SpecialStageRoute7_3.jpg)

the first and second section are good and pretty fun but the last is very easy [img]http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r209/maxtheroadie/Joshua/SpecialStageRoute7_2.jpg[/img ]
-
Mouse dicked around with it last night as I was heading out the door for work and as josh said it's the northern most end of the track where the glitch used to be. It's a three sector run, one light left hand sweeper one right hander hair pin and a medium right hand sweeper, I think they where. Pretty shitty scoring zones IMHO but I have not tried them my self yet.
-
im bring this thing out of mothballs (http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r209/maxtheroadie/Joshua/SpecialStageRoute7_1.jpg)
-
Ok, I've dicked with it now...SS7 drift is fucked up but doable. First sector is crap, second is messed up and picky but gold can be achieved in the final sector alone.
-
Ugh, sounds like it's going to be as annoying as that Tokyo R246 one we had a few times back.

A stock 86 on C-h tires is good enough for golding three of these. For the 600pp one I used an RS6 because it was the first car at or under 600pp in my Premium garage.
Quick 4 mil was quick.

With both a time and drift trial using that Toyota and given the fact it was a free gift a bit ago, my first cynical instinct is that it's a bit of product placement / advertising for Toyota. Not that I really mind if that's the case since it we got a free car out of it :).

Any adjustments you'd like to share? I just added every bolt on and raised my height. :-\
and, what's with the other drift evnets drift sections, especially the sharp corner, it almost always goes to zero for going sideways. The most I have gotten there is around 750. ???

I've gotten 1300 in that sector several times. It just takes a slow, long and not so sideways drift there.

A very close transmission, the cars best torque is in the upper RPM range.
-
Haven't tried the SSR7 one yet but for Madrid in the Toyota 86GT the transmission settings were key for me, I set the transmission at about 170 or so I think then shortened 1st, 2nd and 3rd so that 3rd was about 50-75mph (took a few runs to get it to where I was happy). I then used 3rd gear for all sectors except that second one (the long left hand one) which I took in 4th.
-
Just to confuse Looney even more. ^-^
I ran my top speed down to about 120mph, then run the final drive up 4.55, and kept all the gears pretty close. Hit all the turns in 5rd gear, and the high speed left in 6nd.

This batch of DTs were frustrating for some reason. PD's scoring system is flawed big time, but that should come as no surprise. I only ran the SSR7 to get gold, then got the hell outta there. I spent probably a couple hours on the Madrid one though, and produced a lot of foul language.
-
You guys are kickin ass on the drifts. I did pretty good, but couldn't catch some of you. I really like the madrid one, except the entry into the first section. The 86 GT is awesome.

What I like about the Madrid one is the playing field is level. In all the other open drift events there is the one "Go to car" that is just ridiculous and gets BS unrealistic scores. But with this everyone has the same car and get scored the same way, I like it and spent a lot of time with the Madrid one. I think my 15700 prolly going to be my peak, I can run 15000's pretty consistently but I can't seem to get anything more out of any of the sectors.

Do you drift with the wheel or controller, because with the wheel,

I'm going to put my drift car up for sharing if anyone wants to give it a try in a last minuet attempt to push up their score before they close. Just be advised it's tough to drive and will take a few attempts to get the feel of.

The Madrid one? I will give it a go. I'm really interested in what I can do with a car "set to drift". :)

To answer your question, I used it for both Madrid and SS7
My drifting style, does not utilize the E-Brake, the car wants to drift so all you need is the throttle. Lift to make it turn, throttle to make it go, It may sound simple in writing but in practice it's a completely different ball game. Third gear to break it free fourth and fifth can be used in drift, you can shift it mid drift.

You're right, Chrome....BORING! S.S.D.D. How's about a little "one make" series of races, PD?
I could get into some Corvette ZR1's at Monza, or Honda NSX R '02 RM's at Daytona Roa- , or for that matter,
RX7 TC's at Spa. But it would have to be against some "INTELLIGENT" AI, not then crap we have. C'mon, PD stop "Dumbing down" the AI, and continue to make us "chase the wabbit". And fer crap's sake, stop the stupid B-Spec Seasonals - Unless, of course, they are like the 10 lapper at LeSarthe for $6,000,000 that has SOME strategy.

I really liked the Time Trials this go around, thanks to Baked's Sunday Shuffle I have plenty of cars tuned to 350PP and I even drove a rally car at Eiger in a sunday race (albeit snowing) which helped :).

I really like that it "forces" you to try something different. I tried the Spa track drift and got 162rd last night. (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)

The 750PP TT is kind of fun. Everyone went for the formula cars, of course, but that's OK by me. 750PP makes them more drivable, I think. I saw a Toyota 7 in my friends' times list, that's cool too.
My F2007 beat my FGT, and I may be able to get more out of it. Both are now shared. I'll tune and try a F10 when I have some time to waste.
-
I used the V12 LMR Race Car '99 and it is a blast. I think with a solid lap I can get it down to 2'06.xxx if I ever go back.
-
I'd like to try an LMP/Group C car for this too, after I get through the Formula cars. I would have to choose between the R8 '01, GT-One, Bentley, and 787B...or maybe that super light Peugeot. We'll see.
Decided on the Toyota Minolta 88C-V thing. Worked quite well. Has 740PP. Got a 2'03 I think. Those things are effing fast.

Oh boy, new snoozenals... (IMHO the B-spec ones have been more challenging)
Though the NoodleBirdRing one is nice for an ATM race... a cool $1M at 200% :chillin
-
I tried an Enzo (900hp/under 1100kg/under 650PP) at the Ring and lost by 3.4 seconds on my second try (my first was a disaster) Then, I got my '03 SLR (850hp/~1333kg/650PP) and won on my first try by around 8 seconds. That SLR is a blast to drive. For the others I used a '96 Elise and a F430 (that's right, i detuned a F430 to 500PP. Dumb right? There are better cars at 500PP, but it's a Ferrari, and they're not)

I still don't understand the point of B-spec. It's a driving simulator, not a coaching simulator. Aside from running an endurance race while I'm at work, sleeping or jerking off to bank some coin, I'm not sure I get it.

I agree. They should have left it the way it was in GT4, where A and B spec were together, and you could choose between the two mid race if you wanted. Would make the enduros a whole lot attractive to me.

Yep, Level 11 this time. That leaves us only the levels 0, 14 and 16 to collect (and maybe some new ones) IF Only PD has any brains, they'd put out tickets that would be just for LM's, Touring Cars - all Categories, and by drive trains. Now wouldn't that be nice? :D

I'll try awfully hard not to make the obvious "oh, so you ran out of Vaseline then?" joke :lolz. But I will say that for me to be that impressed would take a modicum of effort, more than which I'm prepared to expend this early in the morning :).

I have a drift car for CS5 shared if anyone needs one. I hit 20K with it so I figure it could help some people improve their scores if they felt the need.

I'm starting to not care about these much. I'm maxed out at the credit cap, and there's nothing else in the game I want to buy.
I ran the DTs just a few times each, don't even remember what I used.
They need to do something with this game, I'm getting bored.

To be honest, I only do the drift trials to compete with you guys. Everyone elses scores are the only thing that keep me going.

Since the advent of online racing I have very little interest in offline racing other than the occasional need to replenish credits. I know some view non-Tuna online racing with great disdain, but there are quite a few like minded individuals who set up rooms with expectations of clean racing. Other than our evnets, these rooms are one of the few reasons I continue playing this game.
-
I for one have no problem with folks doing what they want with their time. Tunas do not now or ever have any madatory attendence at our events.

My DirecTV died last night and it was terrible. Until they can send a replacement receiver, my mancave won't be the same so last night I fired up the PS3. I went into the open lobbies and found some yahoos running at the SSX or whatever the long track is called. Their little memo for the race was 'Dirty races.'
I went into the room to watch so I could figure out exactly what that meant...1035 or less HP and no race cars. The cars were running over 300 MPH and just beating the hell out of each other. It was a hoot.
Not something most guys would enjoy, but it killed time.

I haven't tried these yet but I have a feeling that.. 650PP Côte d'Azur / 10 Laps + FUCKING AI = >:(
I could be wrong but I'm expecting many wrecks at the chicane just after the tunnel :).
-
:stoopid: They need to stop with the b-spec racing, had enough of that in the regular game! Just give use a-spec racing from now on!
Sometimes I miss Prologue where we were giving a track, a PP level, and sometimes even a car. In addition to too many choices in the new game (funny, 'new game' and it's 18 months old), I don't care for most of the cars and I don't find the tracks all that impressive.

For the 650 event this time, avoid the BULLSHIT by using your (or borrowing
Fried_Tuna's Goes_to_11's - thanks dude) 2J. Handles the BMW McLaren F1 no problem.

Nope you're not wrong Feldynn! My go for the inside every time at that chicane. >:( They also like to hit the corner just be for the start finish line! :'(

Good tip Turbo I'll give that a try, though I'm not sure even the 2J can out suck the AI (Artificial Idiocy) that my driver has been bestowed with.
-
My drivers had major problems with the 500pp race but did the 650pp on the first try...
-
The 400PP race at Monza was a cinch - I used the Opel Speedster and "ace'd" it on the first try. :P
It was Long and boring.
The 500PP race at Autumn Ring was a Cinch - I used the Honda NSX-R '02 and "ace'd" it on the first try. :P
It was short and boring.
The 650PP race at Cote d' Azur was interesting.....I used the Chaparral 2J and after the first failure, kept slowing down the pace just before the chicane (directly opposite the level of the driver's aggressiveness).
I "ace'd" it.
It was Long and too high maintenance (in other words - Boring). :P :laugh
All in all, a PITA for trying to collect the Lvl 14 ticket. But....It beats begging someone else for it. ;)
Now - on to my other accounts (Ugh!) :laugh

Someone has shared an untuned, undriven 2J. I thought it was Fried. I still do, but I'm not 100%. I know it's a short tuna name. My level 26 driver had no problem in the 2J. I coached him to make sure he didn't slow down. My problems came when I initially had him in the BMW McLaren F1, and he'd try to pass down the hill to the chicane...gauranteed crash. I had enough and browsed my friends list for a shared 2J.
At 400PP, I used a detuned 86 GT for an uncoached win. At 500PP, I used a 111R, and coached a win - mostly telling him to speed up. It may not have been necessary though. I love watching the 111R pass on the outside.
-

You might be thinking of GT11, Turbo, at least after not finding one on Fried's list I checked my list and the first I found was his so I promptly hijacked it and won the race though my B-Spec Sand wedge (he sure isn't a driver :lolz) still managed to put himself into the wall a few times on the way.
Also for the others I used a 400PP Nissan Silvia Varietta and 500PP Lotus Evora for easy wins.

Hell, if the online Seasonals don't improve, or we don't get any more dlc or new content, I'll prolly be firing up the old GT2 game and having some fun with it....it used to be a blast.....and it can be played directly on the PS3. :D
-
Yeah, it was Goes_to_11 with the shared 2J. I remember going to the level 40 players, where GT11 is right below Fried, so I guess I misremebered, or wasn't paying attention.
On my other account, I used a Mazda Furai Concept for a pretty easy win. I also used a 500pp Impreza '04 for a win over an NSX Type R '02 and an Esprit.
After the expereinces with Prologue, the only thing I really wanted out of this game was good online racing. If you can survive the network issues, this game provides great online racing for those who know how. I do some seasonals, but it's for the tickets/money. Also, I like modifying and tuning cars. (I would like more in the appearance options, I guess.)

Something to try...I believe it worked for me a few times. I just found it and haven't needed it much.
When you have random car ticket(s) in your delivery 'truck', use the square to receive all at once (even if there is only one). Do not select 'Close' when the last one or summary of vehicles received window appears, unless you liked the cars. If you didn't like the cars received, go to XMB and exit the game. This way, the game doesn't save the fact that you cashed in the tickets for cars. You still have the tickets (sorry, you don't have the cars....they weren't saved)
Again, using the Square button to cash in tickets from your delivery doesn't save until after the summary. Quit the game before closing the summary and you can try again without using a USB drive.
Great for those who aren't into USB trickery, but want a specific car from a random ticket. (I've never seen this mentioned before)

B-spec race recon...
Epson NSX (superGT version)
starts raining right after race starts, pits on lap 1. gets to about 30% surface.
Use SPORT SOFT tires to avoid pit and win easily by half a lap with no interaction with roboDriver.
this is one of those races where you collect all the money for placing - pays $2M total. (and a level 23 ticket)

Charlie posted about using sports soft tires and pitting for the B-Spec 3 lapper at The Green Hell.
Also, as an alternate scenario, try starting with Racing Hard, and overriding the pit stop for lap one. Pump the driver up for lap one, then back him off for laps 2 and 3. I used the Mobil 1 NSX and handily defeated the idiots before the first big right hand sweeper at the sand trap on lap 2. From there it was cool cruising and with the 200% bonus = 2,000,000 credits! Unfortunately, only once. :'(

I messed around with the latest seasonals a bit last night. I found as long as there is no Integra or Civic Type R in the race, you can really run the PP down a good bit, and still be able to win with little trouble. I ran the last one about 6-7 times, and got my Integra down to 362pp, and was still winning pretty easily. It has stage 3 engine and weight reduction, so that was as far down as I could get it to go. At 362pp, I was winning 1.2 million credits, and 120,000+ XP. That last track is pretty dang fun, 10 more races like that, and I'll be level 38.
-
I got a little over 600k using that golf thing with 390pp @ Tsukuba. I had the civic in my races and need ed to turn 1'08's and 1'09's to catch it on the last lap.
Really fun, I dig these seasonals.

Really fun, I dig these seasonals.
:stoopid: The only thing I found was the lower the PP the slower the car. At Cape Ring started with 400PP got the Integra, went down further and got the Focus. Then went to 360PP and got a Turbo Coupe something and beat it by 18+ seconds! Still like the seasonals though, hope they stay with this instead of more b-spec races!!!!
-
I like that they're encouraging us to use different cars at different performance levels, that part's cool and I think even something that some of us have mentioned before.
But, yes you all knew there was a but coming, I still really dislike the whole "chase the rabbit" set up where the cars start so massively spread out and run their largely preprogrammed laps (set speed, set line, etc with little variation) so instead of racing you're mostly just passing traffic as fast as you can.
Still it is fun and a positive improvement in the game!

This is typical PD attention to detail. First they add a feature that changes the cars in the race based on what you bring to the race so you can choose a variety of cars and still be competitive. Then they add a feature that gives you more money using an underpowered car but forget that they set it up to give you a weaker field with a weaker car.

This is what I hate about single player in GT. It really isn't a racing game especially since the cars just give up midway through a pass. I found the special events and license tests much more fun than A spec.

Ran another Cape Ring with my Scirocco at 360pp and had to race the Integra and Civic. Just did beat the Integra by .941 sec. Guess I was wrong about the lower pp racing slower cars!

It has always seemed random to me. I could enter a race get one set of cars, exit and reenter and get a different set. I had to do that for some of the b-spec races on occasion.

That's it Dude. On these, the races without the Integra or Civic Type R, are the easy wins where you could probably go really low on PP. As long as you don't exit, you'll keep the same group of cars.

I became obsessed with the kart track race this evening, and trying to run minimum PP. After numerous tries with the Lupo cup car at 315pp, and finishing 2rd, I swallowed my pride, and bumped it up to 320pp. 3 more attempts, and finally won it with just 2 turns to spare. Credits were just over 1.8 million, and the countless reruns got me to level 38. :)
315pp is doable, but it'll take 7 completely flawless laps, something I seem to be incapable of. :-\

I just ran Cape Ring with a Clio Renault Sport 2.0 16V '02 at 375 pp (which leaves only 133 hp), and I got just over a million dollars. Drivers better than me (probably all of you...) could make it with a weaker car. The AI cars are so slow on the loop...

Just ran 2 laps at Madrid and stopped when I got gold.
At Toscana I spend an hour or so on the Mitsubishi Rally Car '03 (this is what most people use), changed front/rear transmission ratio to 50/50, added Turbo and reduced power to reach 550PP. Rest is untuned. Cut my time by 5 seconds with 50/50 transmission ratio (instead of default 40/60).
I looked at the replay of the fastest guy, he touched the walls about 10 times ::) I prefer my slower but clean lap :P
Baked I tried a lot, but I'm still 1.5 seconds behind you.

I love the Toscana race.
I haven't gone for the speed factor yet (I know, I know, it's a time trial). I've been trying to see how low I can go on the pp scale and beat the gold time. So far, 444pp in an older Subi. A tranny, a suspen. and dirt tires are the only upgrade. I think a little lower than 444pp is possible in a lighter car.
-
Boston, if you want a challenge, try a FWD car. I ran it to start with in a Citreon C4, because that's what I used at Madrid. At 450pp it's plenty fast, but the overwhelming understeer is tough. I managed a Silver, then hopped in the Audi wagon. :D

Max. allowed is 550PP. Gold time is 1:55.800
I managed a 1:53.862 in the Ford RS200 at 437PP.
I have it shared if you would like a bit of a challenge. Tweak the susp., LSD and the torque thingy to what you like, but please don't add any parts that increase HP or PP. Have fun!

I think I might try some low pp HSR tonight. Get some money for a 69SS. :)

I won some of these with a Toyota 86 GT with no power or weight mods, which comes in under 410pp,(Cape Ring and Autumn Ring) boosted HP for 425pp to win another couple (Tokyo and HSR) , and bought all bolt-ons for ~447pp for win in the Mt. Aso race.
-
I thought Mt Aso was the easiet... (it was all timing and rythum for me and I beat it on my second try - first try was familiarizing with the track)
But I had to really boost power on Autumn Ring and still couldn't win because of the Shelby. Took a break and then tried again. This time it was replaced by a BMW - I was ahead by start of lap 3 and easily won. So I dropped power way back and did it again for more money/XP...

I ran the same car, but @ 445pp for cape ring inner. I used a 69 camaro z28 @ about 445pp for HSR. That is all I have done so far.
-
Used the V12 Vantage to beat the Mt.Aso race with 430pp. Might try a lower pp today because i won by a few seconds. Also I have only used the Vantage for the other races and have won.
P.S. That's with out the Shelby in race!

Ran Tokyo with the Mazda Roadster TC. If follows the race line like if it was on rails. I'm not very good at that track, but the Roadster made it a piece of cake.
Spent almost 2 hours on Automn Ring before getting a gold. Not sure I always had 2 wheels on the track during the race when I got gold. There's a section of the track where temptation is high to get through the corners.
I managed to get my gold with the Roadster TC. At 500 PP it seems to be a little faster than the Toyota 86 GT '12 at 470 PP (can't boost the 86 GT over 470 PP).
Ran HSR at 445 PP with Vette Z06 (C5) '00. Rally easy at 450 PP. Tried a few times at 440 PP but no luck. You guys would probably be able to get gold at 435 PP or even 430 PP with that car and my (quite default) tune.
Both cars untuned except power & weight to get desired PP, and custom gearbox on the Vette.

Got gold at HSR with the Shelby at 430 PP. Bought a few components to reach 500 PP, then decreased power to get 430 PP. Sport chocks, rest is untuned. If you drive the Shelby you don't get a Shelby in front of you, it makes things easier :) It paid just a little under 1 million.
Got gold at Aso with the Shelby (at 500 PP), so I finally got my Camaro gift. Mazda Roadster TC is a good choice at Aso too.

O.K., Rant over, I just needed a short fix, that's all. (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)

For the FR challenge I used mainly a stock 370Z, lightly modified (30 extra hp) S2000 and a stock M3 CSL. While these were all in the 460-480PP range I used stock suspensions and transmissions. Nothing that changes the original feel of the car. If the PP system wasn't flawed that would be reflected in some way. :P

Swiped this from GT Planet..
New A-Spec races are now available in GT5‘s latest Seasonal Events, which feature 4WD cars of no more than 530PP. Here’s a closer look at what’s new:
Laguna Seca Raceway / 5 Laps
1st: Cr.166,600 2nd: Cr.91,630 3rd: Cr.66,640
Grand Valley Speedway / 5 Laps
1st: Cr.183,000 2nd: Cr.100,650 3rd: Cr.73,200
Cape Ring / 3 Laps
1st: Cr.206,000 2nd: Cr.113,300 3rd: Cr.82,400
Sarthe Circuit 2009 / 2 Laps
1st: Cr.231,900 2nd: Cr.127,545 3rd: Cr.92,760
Toscana (Pavement) 104A / 7 Laps
1st: Cr.198,400 2nd: Cr.109,120 3rd: Cr.79,360
New OCD is up and is pretty much all Audis, 4WD ones regular cars and some MR / FR race cars.
Also, I managed to win the first two races by a good way using the premium DLC VW Golf R thing at about 470PP. It's a really peppy little car with all the weight / engine mods done but almost no bolt ons, chances are it can be dialed back further too and still win.
I shared the one I used but I don't know if anyone is allowed to borrow it since it's a DLC car.
-
I noticed too there is actually a bug / error with the seasonal too in terms of what cars we are allowed to drive and those the AI gets to use. Specifically there are two vehicles, the Mazda MX-Crossport Concept and the Mazda Mazdaspeed Atenza, both are technically 4WD (you can tell by how they drive or upgrades) but show in the drivetrain as -- (meaning undisclosed).
The AI can drive them so the game obviously recognises them as 4WD on some level but won't allow us to take them into a race, there was a similar error in GT4 where the AI would show up in concept cars where we weren't allowed to.

GT5's description is lacking so it gets filtered out. I've run across this in online races where I know I have the car, but race room settings and car description filter it gone.
-
Good point Dude, I went ahead and jumped in the Mazdaspeed Atenza just now to double check and it let me into the race. Actually wasn't expecting that given GT's track record when it comes to what is or isn't allowed (like those seasonals that are "Normal Car" only but the special race spec garage filter still shows race cars that fit the rest of the specs).
Oh well, I guess I can downgrade that to a mild inconvenience from "yet another :fucking annoying bug" :).
-
454pp at Le Sarthe will get you just over 1 million credits with the 200% bonus. I was shooting for a 100pp under the limit, but after running the Honda Element at 435pp, and taking 5 attempts to win, I'll settled for that for now. Winnings were 1.1 million credits, and 136,000+ XP. On top of that, the AI was shockingly aggressive. The lead two cars were an Evo, and a Scooby, both of which tried to spin me out on multiple occassions. :o It was without a doubt the most exciting, and at the same time infuriating offline race I've run to date. I saved the replay, and will post a few pics later on, of the insanity.

That sounds like it might make it fun, actually trying to drift to gold as opposed to driving it to gold.
I might have to borrow my brothers vid camera this week.
-
Well after my initial over reaction I did find out it wasn't "quite" as bad as I expected but I think a lot depends on how much you care :). I just picked the cars, set Traction Control to 1 (not interested in banging my head against a wall) and limped around the tracks for the gold times, turned out it wasn't too bad but I might have gotten lucky with car choices.
Actually used the Jaguar XJ220 for the British only one, my first thought was the McLaren F1 but I saw that was the "go to" car so I went elsewhere, the other one I used was the old Nissan 370Z Tuned Academy car. Both were under the PP limit though so that might have helped, Jag was 618PP and Nissan was 525PP or there abouts I think.
-
Ran the '10 Aston Martin V12 for all evnets at 545pp,, and still got gold in the 650 one. Use comfort hards at Tsukuba. :)

I followed this concept a bit...but on the light side. I took the 111R at 537pp and golded the 650 first lap. There may be something wrong with us up here, as I checked the rankings and found that clacksman used the same car.
Also, I found that I was helped a lot by the time I put into GT Academy...on these crap tires
-
For shits and giggles, I took my Cerbera out on C-hard/C-medium combination and actually took a stab at drifting out a gold time at Grand Valley and failed to even hit a bronze in just a couple attempts but had a hell of a lot of fun trying it.

racing hard, 871 limit, reduced PP awards in effect, SP1 for winning all 5 races. Rome, Indy Road, Tokyo Rev, Nurb 24, Eiffel Circuit. Run my shared F2007 at 825pp and you could get upwards of 2 million if you have the 200% sign in bonus at some of these races - the last two for sure.
OCD updated, Isuzus, Paganis, Lancias, plus a few oddball selected cars.

Well... For the rest of us, I shared a 871PP F2010. It's brand new, just an oil change to bring it to 871PP. Feel free to tune it, though.
I'll give your F2007 a try, but I don't have much hope for a win at Nurb, except if opponents are driving LADAs :(

I agree. I still have to do Nurb. I used Turbo's F2007 @ 850pp. Real fun chit.

:ditto
As soon as I saw it was F1 Ferraris I immediately thought it wasn't going to be a good seasonal (for me), I'd much rather have seen Ferrari road cars with an F1 prize or something like that.
Rome was by far the most difficult track for me (it might have just been because it was the first track though) followed closely by the Eifel track until I figured out the corners. I just grabbed a brand new F10 (to make room in the bank account) and increased the top speed just a touch but left everything else on default including Traction Control.
Took a few curse filled laps and race restarts at Rome to get the hang of driving an F1 (and again at Eifel til I learned it enough) but mostly I found if you try to be gentle and stay on the road it's enough to win, trying to push and drive hard usually had me in a spin or in a wall so I just slowed down a bit and won by a good margin on every track after that.
Did them all once with my main account but won't be doing it again with my other account.
-

I did them all in one evening. For some reason I always start backwards :-\ Nurb was so much fun I ran it several times after getting the gold.
-
I actually ran a couple of these, Rome and the Nurburgring. Pretty fun. I wasn't paying attention while doing the nurburgring, forgot it was the 24 hour track and turned right into the wall at the end of the lap instead of joining the GP track. talk about muscle memory. Dropped from 3nd to 7st but managed to claw back on the last lap and take first.
I seem to recall the F10 having issues with bottoming out when at full aero. If you are having difficulties with the F10 try the F2007.

Not sure if this should go here or in the Academy thread, but I borrowed this from GT Planet.. (http://www.gtplanet.net/special-gt5-seasonal-events-for-gt-academy-2012-prize-cars/)
"A series of special new Seasonal Events have just been announced for Gran Turismo 5, which feature the prize cars earned in the GT Academy 2012 mini-game.
The first event has just gone live, and features one race and one time trial in the Nissan Leaf G (GT Academy Edition) ’11:
Autumn Ring Mini / 5 Laps
Period of Availability: 2012/07/12 23:00 – 2012/07/19 23:00
1st: Cr.300,000 2nd: Cr.165,000 3rd: Cr.120,000
Eifel (Kart) 207A Time Trial
Period of Availability: 2012/07/12 23:00 – 2012/07/19 23:00
Gold: Cr.300,000 Silver: Cr.200,000 Bronze: Cr.100,000
New events will be released each week, with “special prizes” available for players who earn a 3rd place and bronze trophy result in each event, and yet another “bonus prize” for who achieve the first place and a gold trophy."
Neither are especially difficult to get 1rd / Glod on, you can't do any power / drivetrain tuning to the Leaf but you CAN do weight reduction and add a suspension.

I'm still working an F1 @ Nurb. I tried it last night @ 850pp and if I wasn't doing so many 360's I maybe could have won it. As it was I finished 9rd and will need moar nurbing.

But other than add power Croonah, did you do other mods? For those who mess with weight and Aero, results may vary.

Dug the f1 cars everywhere but nurb they didn't seem to fit the personality of the track in my eyes.

Seasonal events + exclusive cars = douche bags
I have the cars and will run the events, mainly for the prizes, but making an online event with 'special' prizes available only there using cars that have limited availability may be the most pathetic thing PD has done. Unless you can borrow the cars, it means that it's impossible for some players to play these events.
-
I see your point Turbo. I also think it is nice they did something for us schleps that completed it, but had no hope of winning anything. So I look at this seasonal as a PD thank you to us.

I have to agree that this was a smart move.
They finally have a special event using limited content, but they allow us to lend the cars to players who couldn't otherwise access the Academy. There is no real downside.

I'm surprised we can borrow them. That makes it an OK setup. As long as everyone who has the game can run the event.
-
I had assumed you couldn't share any of the Academy cars because of their "special" nature, but for what it's worth I have shared out my special ed. Nissan Leaf in case anyone wants to use it for the evnets and I'll do the same with each subsequent car / event as they're added :).
-
Academy Leaf shared check.

Academy Leaf shared check.
PD has a lot of great ideas, and a lot of horrible ideas, and they don't seem to stick to either of them consistently.

Hmmm... Don't see a problem with what PD is doing here. If you ran the Academy evnets, then they give you a bonus for doing so. If not, well why whine about it? Why does everyone have to be able to run any evnet at all times, just can't see where it's unfair? If that's the case, let's say we have "exclusive content" like say cars... Then under fairness to everyone... all cars must be available to each and every one of us ... so no exclusive content, no bonus for anything, such as buying the CE edition etc.
Really, if you didn't run it... you miss out, should be simple and acceptable... lolol... but wait, they allow sharing of these Academy won cars... so everything is now "fair", though those that ran it to get the cars, well really didn't have to... where is the incentive in that?
Honestly, if you didn't run it... well you should miss out... PD should stick to that policy, it would make interest higher in these "special" evnets like the Academy and would actually mean something in game. I think PD kind of wuss out on this one.

That was my thinking too. Then it was mentioned the cars could be shared and I thought that was a wonderful idea.
-
But other than add power Croonah, did you do other mods? For those who mess with weight and Aero, results may vary.
Nope.....the way you set up the car, it is not necessary to mess with the settings....I wouldn't get it to go any faster, especially the way I drive, (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)
-
I will make the cars available for tuning onloine in my GTallstar account. Anyone who wants to use/tune them for the "special evnets" is welcome. They will be "equipped" for the special evnet and the tune will be up to you. ;) That way, everyone who is on my friends list can partake in the special evnets even if they don't have the cars. :D
(As we receive cars, I will rotate the stock to keep the cars "current" with the evnets)
-
Kudos to the sharing folks. My blue leaf with special badges is also shared, with a tune that I like to think is good. It has no weight reduction, just tuned suspension.

Really, if you didn't run it... you miss out, should be simple and acceptable... lolol... but wait, they allow sharing of these Academy won cars... so everything is now "fair", though those that ran it to get the cars, well really didn't have to... where is the incentive in that?
Honestly, if you didn't run it... well you should miss out... PD should stick to that policy, it would make interest higher in these "special" evnets like the Academy and would actually mean something in game. I think PD kind of wuss out on this one. (http://i813.photobucket.com/albums/zz58/JasherX/-00A/Favorite%20Smilies%20etc/2cents.gif)
I'm not sure how it could be viewed as unfair either, if you do the events then you get the spoils of your labors.... And that's coming fr someone that didn't even download GT Academy!
Now, if PD had randomly sent bonus cars out to 1000 people and then made and event just for them, THAT would be unfair in my eyes... :D
-
But other than add power Croonah, did you do other mods? For those who mess with weight and Aero, results may vary.
Nope.....the way you set up the car, it is not necessary to mess with the settings....I wouldn't get it to go any faster, especially the way I drive, (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/lol1.gif)
I really like the setup you had on your car. So when I had enough money to buy an F2007 I put that setup on it.
I've lowered the aero, added 25kg and running about 460hp. It works out to 815pp and I managed to win @ IRC with it last night. Next step on to lower pp. 8)

Hmmm... Don't see a problem with what PD is doing here. If you ran the Academy evnets, then they give you a bonus for doing so. If not, well why whine about it?

I'm fine with it too. It's a bonus for those who got onboard with GTAc. But what I find funny is that they tried to make the evnets exclusive and failed. that is what I don't like. not this particular failure, but the fact that everything they do is full of holes like swiss cheese.

Let's take a look at another scenario.....You live in the City, and due to a career decision, you have to move to the Country. In doing so, you lose your internet service and online capabilities temporarily. Now you have no way to DL the Academy Challenge, or for that matter you can't even play online.
You're basically FUCK ed. You cannot partake in the competition and cannot collect the bonus cars. Does that mean you should be blocked from the "Seasonal evnets" once you have internet service availability? You don't see where I'm going here, huh? Now one could say, "O.K., well, that's just rotten timing" and "Life Sucks". But I believe that PD is trying to be fair since they're offering a separate online weekly challenge for 8 friggin' weeks.
To that end, one of our illustrious brothers here just had that happen to him. Is it fair? NO, DAMMIT. It's not fair and I think that PD probably thought that it would be better to "share" the cars online rather than hear everyone bitch about not being to play the academy "challenge" series online. Now, just sayin'........... It probably is a good thing that they did or we 'd probably lose more players due to yet ANOTHER WRONG DECISION BY PD.
I don't mind sharing with my friends. It probably does more for "good will" to allow the sharing of the Academy Cars than not. And while PD DOES make decisions that have a lot of holes in them, I believe in this instance, they made the correct decision. :D

Anyone tried the latest 80's seasonal? I'm hung at scooba. The number 1 AI finisher runs 1'13's, but gets a 30 second head start on lap 1. I need 1'08's or better and I'm stuck at 1'09. Running some modded up '83 Skyline (R30) thing.
-
I started (and gave up) with Suckuba, best car I'd found so far was the old Toyota MR-2 Supercharged which might do it. I managed low 1'08s with it but I still couldn't get the low 1'07 times needed to actually beat the 1st place car :(.
-
I just noticed it does change AI #1 line up. Most recent was a Corolla that only managed a race time total of 5'50, I only lost by a few seconds. I was driving poorly in a junk car doing 9's and 10's lol.
also, Not really a junk car it's that concept HSR-II, the one with the right and left flaps for a spoiler.

The leader is probably in an '89 Skyline GTS-t Type M yada yada yada. Get you one of those, or keeping exiting, and going back, until that car is not on the grid. Even running the same car, I'd finish 2rd at full PP. For me it was unwinnable(is that a word) when that car was in the race.
Also, Le Sarthe will get 100,000+ XP at 375PP. I'm a little over 1 million XP from level 39, but 5 minute + laps are just too slow and boring to grind.

:indeed Skyline R32 did a race time of 5'38, the civic si ran a 5'56. So I only had to do a 5'48 and win in the HSC-II concept (awd too lol). :)
I had best lap times @ Tsukuba of 1'08. I would like to get to 6 or 7 then it wouldn't matter what car the AI chose. :)

As much as I hate the car, give the Dome zero a try. It is a dominate car in the bunch.

I skipped the F1 races to begin with, because I suck at them, but tried the IRC race at 840pp, and to my surprise, was able to win it. I even enjoyed it enough to run it again, before heading off to run TuTu. I'll definitely be hitting that one up a few more times for the XP. Thanks for the heads up Grumpy. :)
-
Thanks Grumpy! First race got 2.4 mil and 370k xp. I screwed up that race a bit, so I may try lowering the points some more. Needs lots o' money for the online lot. :)
Oh and thanks also Turbo for the car. I will get one for myself soon.

Madrid felt alright, but the 10,000 gold score I think is the highest they've had yet. What I don't understand is the incredible grip at snow drift events, when the racing is like driving on....... well, ice. :-\
I used the same car(Infiniti Coupe Concept) for all 4 events, and it was a struggle in the snow. Worked pretty good at DRC, even at 487pp, which is maxed with the bolt ons.
Also, what is the deal with them using a tight ass kart track to run the GT-A Skyline TT on? Understeer, and tight turns don't mix.

The thought just occured to me, remember how some of the GT Academy events / tests were like multiple corners and stuff on those little Eifel tracks? Maybe the TT tracks we're getting for the seasonals are actually the full versions of the tracks we used the respective cars on for those certain tests!
Also I've put my Skyline up for share that I used for the latest event, hopefully it retains all the settings because it seemed to turn fairly well for me :).

Is it just me or all seasonal events are getting harder ?
Last week I had difficulties at Tsukuba (I finished second many times but never got first), and today on the Time Trial at Cape Ring, the best I got up to now is bronze, using the Suzuki GSX-R Concept car, the same used by top 10 guys. Best time is around 2'56 and gold is 3'12, so the best guy is just 5% faster than the gold time. A few months ago the best guys were 20% faster than gold time.
It's probably impossible to reach gold using a random car at maximum allowed PP (I was 15 seconds slower than bronze time using a Cappucino at max PP) unless your name is Michael Schumacher ??? It forces people (at least for slow guys like me) to use THE car (or one of the few cars that are very fast on that track) instead of choosing a car with your feel of the moment.
My ranking at Cape Ring is 30,000th (bronze) with a time 3 seconds slower than gold. Just a month or two ago, I reached gold while being ranked 35,000. It means that much less people are capable to reach gold than before. As of today (sunday morning) 45,000 people ran seasonal events.
Maybe PD does it this way to stop beginners from getting lots of XP and money on seasonal events. Seasonal events bring much more money than what you can get from A-Spec , B-Spec, or online races.

These seasonals have a rabbit with a 30 second head start. If you exit and re-enter race you can get an easier to beat lead car.

With more seat time I was able to beat Cape Ring. Daytona Road was easy for me, I tried with my Impreza and got gold on first lap.
I went back to last week's Tsukuba, and with a slower lead car I got gold. Thanks Dude for the clue ! BTW, I was 1.5 seconds per lap faster with ASM on with the GSX-R. Went from high 1'09 to low 1'08.

The OCD was updated too with TVRs and more GT500 cars if I remember right. Also there are two "new" standard TVR cars in the dealership, I say "new" because I think they are the PSP versions they allowed you to transfer to the console (however that all worked, I remember there being a Standard Ferraro Enzo too I think).
So now all you car collectors out there can get the standard TVR Tamora '02 and TVR Tuscan Speed 6 '00 to go in tandem with the premium versions of the same car you probably already have too :).

Anyone tried those yet ? Using a Tacoma I got gold on the first two events (Rome and Indy), quite easily, but I finished third at Suzuka and Mont Aso, even with a quite perfect race at Suzuka. Didn't try Nurburgring yet.

Anyone tried those yet ? Using a Tacoma I got gold on the first two events (Rome and Indy), quite easily, but I finished third at Suzuka and Mont Aso, even with a quite perfect race at Suzuka. Didn't try Nurburgring yet.
Yves
I ran the Chevy SSR on all at 439pp, except Rome, had to bump it up to 442pp there.
Ran Rome 4-5 times before I won it. IRC was close, but got it the 1rd try. I hate Suzuka, and only wanted to run it once, so I cut the chicane at the end of every lap. NincompoopRing is a favorite, and I didn't take the lead until drafting on the long straight, with a ton of blocking after the pass was complete. Mt. Asshole compared to most tracks you get there wasn't bad, but still took me 4 races to kinda know what was coming up, and win.
2 Tacomas in every race, and they were haulin' ass.
-
Oh yeah, the GT-A race at Motegi is freakin' tough. After numerous attempts to run it legal, and besting only a 4rd place. I had to cheat, and cut the last chicane to win it. This is with race suspension, all drivetrain add ons, but no power adders.
-
:stoopid:
It seems the faster i go, the first place car just matchs it! All most got it with just trans and suspension and nothing else. Just add the clutch and flywheel and will give it another shot.
P.S. Finally got the sucker with adding the clutch and flywheel! What a pain in the butt! (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)
-
I dumped all the power bolt ons I could just to get that "Race" out of the way, but you know I think I noticed the same thing Grumpy! It seemed like even with all the extra power that sometimes they'd get a boost at times to keep in front, like I'd be closing at a steady pace per check point and suddenly I'd stop closing for it a bit even though I wasn't dropping much (if any) time on a lap.
Still it's done, I've got my car shared up too in case anyone wants to try out my wacky controller tuned car :).

I haven't had time to play lately. :'(

Supposedly, even though it says Sport Hard tires, you can use Sport Soft.

Wow, I was beating myself up trying to win the Rome Reverse race with a Muira, Gallardo and even a vent and a door. Softs make it more bearable. Thanks, Chrome!

You don't need any softs, just pedal faster! :P

The Toscana race is pretty easy, but the rest took some work, even at 550pp. Ran the Ring 4 times before I won it, and that was under questionable circumstances. The rough driving committee will be reviewing the replay. :P
Looking at the GT-A event for today, I foresee some foul language ahead.

Yeah, Noticed it.....gonna be some real crying...mostly probably from Grumpy. BTW Grumpy, wanna cry? Go look at the last time trials, LOL. I may be slow, but I'm ahead of you, :lolz

As much as I hate the car, give the Dome zero a try. It is a dominate car in the bunch.

I wonder if they changed it earlier in the week as it's now 7'48.000 for the gold TT time, which I still think is a bit excessive particularly compared to to the rest of the GT-A events we've had. Even the race Rabbit Chase seems overly harsh as you have to run a 7'33 or better to get 1st looking at the 1st place times in the races I ran.
I love the track (Nurb), I don't mind the car at all (much better Feld-tuned than Academy tuned!) and I'm even up for a challenge but some days I just can't be bothered to deal with "stupid". Sure I could probably have golded both if I spent the time or cared more but I'll take my 2 silvers and be happy :).

I had an absolute blast in the little Honda S600 that I used for the TT, due mostly to the way I'd set the car up.. or more importantly DIDN'T set the car up! I shoved in all the power into it I could (bolt-ons + engine stages), borrowed the neighbour's fat kid to compensate for power (66kg ballast, center position), installed a custom transmission and clutch and went off to Suzuka.
Bassically I changed as little as I could, the biggest thing was using the stock suspension though as that's what made it truely a fun drive. I say drive, perhaps sail would be more accurate! I drive almost exclusively in cockpit view and with it's soft 60s suspension the car was rolling around the corners like it was a sail boat, it was hilarious! Might be something to consider for a TuTu one day, an older car perhaps with a few power bolt-ons and a transmission but everything else stock and untuned.. I may have to peruse my garage and test out a few older rides!
-
On the GT-A Nurb TT, I had ran a 7:49.6?? before we went on vacation, which was good enough for silver. I figured I'd try to get gold when we got back. I ran it a few times today with the same setup, just suspension, trans, and drivetrain add ons. Could not run another 49, much less the 47 needed for gold. So I threw some bolt on power adders, and ran the weight to ??80kg, then knocked off the rest of the excessive PP with the engine slider. Ran a 7:45 on the next try. I also should add that I had the Active Steering on strong, not sure if it helped. I also used it and Skid Recovery in the race, as that was the only way I could keep the damn thing on the track, and as posted earlier I still had to drive like a dick to win.
Ran the current TTs and DTs, and they are...........interesting.

Your're right Feldynn. That was for gold. Not that I have a chance for bronze. :copz:

Since I had been away on vacation I only really had 2 days to work on the most recent GT-A events and I have to agree boy were they challenging! I worked on the rabbit chase first since I figured it would be the more difficult of the 2. Not knowing what I was up against I ran the 370Z in bone stock configuration first and after 1-2 restarts for blunders had a 7:48 time and came in 6th. I don't like modifying cars in ways that are not reversible so next I maxed out the engine upgrades (440hp) and tweaked the suspension and LSD. Best I got was 2nd place, down 5 seconds with a high 7:3x time. After a few more attempts I said to hell with it and did the remaining weight reduction procedures which dropped the weight to 1160kg or so. I could immediately tell that if I didn't screw up I could finally win this, lol. Took a few tries to get (mostly) error free and I beat it last night around 11:15 with a time of 7:30.xxx. Then I thought I could breeze through the TT one (and by the looks of it my stock time in the rabbit chase was almost enough for gold) only to realize that the damn event had expired >:(
Ack, if only I had more time :P

Where did you guys find those S Series cars ? I checked the Honda dealer as well as the Collector's dealership, no luck.
Thanks !
[Edit] Just found a S600 at the used car dealership. I was either lucky or they provide it so you can run the event... Just changed oil, phase 2 enhancements for engine and weight, reduced power to match 350 PP, reinforced body, sport chocks, custom transmission with max speed 190 km/h (120 mph). Shifting was sooo slow, got Twin-Plate Clutch, Semi-racing flywheel and carbon shaft. Rest is untuned. This is enough to get gold.

The game was kind enough to offer one at the used car dealership (I thought those were random picks...) With a few upgrades but no real tune (see the edit on my previous post) I managed to get gold. But if you have one with some reasonable tune, just share it, I'll try to get a better online ranking...

These are expert level race events for Japanese K-cars. Cars can be tuned up to 355PP and tires are limited to Comfort/Soft or less. If you keep the performance points (PP) of your car low, a "Performance Difference Bonus" will increase the prize credits you receive. For example, a 300PP car will receive approximately double the normal prize.

There's also an update to the Online Car Dealership too, haven't had nearly enough coffee yet to make the InterWeb spit out a full car list but there are a couple of items of note I remember.
1: Chevrolet Camaro Z28 (standard car edition)
2: Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Coupe (standard car edition)
3: Mercury Cougar XR-7 (tomorrow's Midnight Drive-in car, great timing Charlie!)
Of course having standard versions of premium cars probably won't be of interest to everyone here, but I know there are a few completists out there like me that like to have one of everything :).

I know what you mean Grumpy, I generally have enjoyed most of the Seasonals but after doodling around in some other racing games I'm finding the whole "Chase the rabbit" concept of the Seasonal Races is really starting to grind my gears. Thinking back to the Lamborghini one (which I still haven't completed), having the 1st place car start out a good 30 seconds ahead and running ABOVE the allowed PP limit to boot makes it less of a challenge and more of a chore.
Other games can make the AI drive reasonably fast mostly clean but sometimes even making mistakes, why can't PD make theirs work right and give us proper races with standing / rolling starts where all the cars take off together instead of being spread out.
Time and Drift trials I don't mind so much, so long as they don't have stupid car / tire / track combinations :).

i agree with your opinion on the AI feldynn it just forceds you to drive like a mad man with no class then force the AI cars out of the way for a pass kinda like the people you just as soon not race with...reminds of racing with the JP back in prologue...
i think i like the new tire model tho getting more than 10minutes out of a set of racing hards is a nice change. the name tags over cars in replays is just plain wrong. there is only 1 car in the new DLC i would even consider adding to my collection and it ain't a GTR or a FR subaru??? Kaz can go fuck himself if he thinks im paying for his 2013 N24 car by buying more cars i will maybe only drive once if he wants my money he best find some new or rerelease some old tracks Red Rock Valley from GT2 would be awesome for some 2-3 wide racing not to mention midfield or apricot hill. this proably belongs in bitch thread also... :-\

I ran this week's Seasonal events. I had difficulties chasing the rabbit at Madrid and Laguna Seca, but others were quite easy. I used the Ford Mark IV to beat Madrid.
For Laguna Seca I had to cut inside corners to pass cars. My Camaro didn't seem to slow down on sand, as long as I kept 2 wheels on the track. I won by 2 seconds, so with more seat time I could have done it clean. Also, my car (Camaro Z28 RM '69) was untuned.
For those interested, there's a purple Formula Gran Turismo at the Collector's car dealer. I like the color, but probably won't spend 5 millions credits to buy it while I already have a green one...

If it's the purple and white I have it.
Charlie's lot has the all blue one; james_mikel has the orange-red one. I prefer the multi-color ones... I can always send a level 24 ticket if someone wants and FGT but doesn't have $5mil to spare.
-
I got to where I was buying an FGT every week, just to stay off the 20 mil limit. A couple weeks ago, I bought the GT40 race car that was in the OCD for 20 mil. That'll keep me from the limit for a little while, and I got the "Penniless" trophy. ^-^

Momentum. Except for a couple tight turns, it's a pretty fast track. I think it took me 5-6 tries, and that was just learning the track good enough to get around it decently.

Also, I need a spare hour or two. :)
-
I could be wrong, but since your time is so close to mine, and becauase I don't seem to be losing much if any time at that particular section, I doubt you are too.
That area seems to need a lift-off for a moment. But yes a better tune could still yield a better ability to get through there.
Anyone out there want to offer some tune suggestions? Hmm... wonder if there are any tunes for the TT out on GTData.net?

I got that too, but forget which car. I'm not worth 2 cents in the LMP cars, I wound up just going for gold in the GTR R35 TC, it was a helluva lot easier to drive.
Also, I used a 306hp(470pp) 1970 Skyline for the TT and DT, it was tough, but goldable.

Did the cape ring one 36 pp short of the maximum placed in the top 800 only to find out the performance bonus does not apply. Why not PD? More curious than bothered.

Wow, I guess we completely "glossed over the Honda races this past week, huh? O.K., well, I was just wondering how to get through and then figured it out the Honda Civic 3 door works great.

Looney: I found that the Civic type R (EP) '04 Hatchback (Standard car) works at 415 really well at SS rte 5 and the Kart track. The toughest race is the night race, because the track is narrow and it's tough to pass at times. But it is beatable with the '04 Honda Civic. I have it on my GTallstar shared list - use it! :D

Thanks Croonah, I will! Also, the night race is hard, because I can't see shit! (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)

Lol, Looney, It's not so much that it is dark (turn up the brightness control by stopping the race, hit the 3st button from the left and you can brighten the track a bit - works for me). Also, it's the short version of SS Rte 5 (REVERSE) so a lot of people lose time because they don't KNOW the track. On the first right hander, you need to slow down it's a late apex. The second right hander you can stay in 3st gear and accelerate after a late apex. The first chicane, you can take this nearly at full speed, but after that the subsequent chicanes have to be given respect. Feather the gas through the tunnel and then back on the straight. Keep in mind that "fluid motion" and smooth on the gas and break will get you 1-2 seconds faster per lap -plenty enough time to get into first place by the middle of the fifth lap. ;D
As far as the last race at the Kart Track - get into a rythym and flow through the turns. a Time of 5:00 flat will get you first place. You can run sub 1 minute laps here. Good luck!!

The latest time trial at Tokyo has all of the top times placed by the 2D. :P I only had something like three cars that could even apply, two of which I did not want to add any miles to them (if I could help it), and the 2D was not any of them.
So, what to do? I used the only other one I had, a RM Camaro.
It was a struggle, but it got the job done. ^-^

Yeah, most of the time I look to see what kind of choices I have and never really even look to see what others use, but this time, I looked because I ran out of options and wanted to see if I overlooked anything. I was disappointed to see all top 100 times (minus one black sheep in a Jaguar) set by one ringer car.
I am glad to see that PD is making us work for our wins with the latest time trials and Seasonals. It's not just one and done, anymore.
-
I agree with the harder workings PD has put into the seasonals. The last 2 tracks in the Civic seasonal was pretty tough. The kart track one I had to run 3-4 times to finally get the gold. What I dont care for, is the lead couple cars will run their asses off until you get a nose in on them. Then they back way off and dont run the same pace as they were. Thats pretty irritating to me ....
I check out my friends times and see what they drove, but I never pay attention to the ringer cars

I've been slack on posting these up the last couple weeks, my apologies. My motivation to play it is almost gone. I did run a couple of these in the 111R, and even at 488pp they were very doable, providing I stayed out of trouble.

111R shared for British seasonals. Gave it a fresh oil change, which bumped the PP up to 497, I dropped it back down to 490(pre-oil change PP), it was at 488 when I started using it. Have fun with it. :D
-
Initially, I bought a new car because I was under the impression that I needed to do weight-reduction and maybe other permanent changes to it to win these events, but when I started working on setting it up, what it really needed was ballast added to the front and major thinking on the suspension (I applied Gar's guidelines). I only put enough effort into tuning to win these events and the car probably needs more work to make it handle even better, but it got the job done.
If anyone is interested, I can post my tune as-is in the tuning thread.
The hardest part was getting the car to not spin out exiting the underpass, after the startline. I sort of tamed it there, but it may be at the expense of some other bad habits elsewhere on the various courses.

Also, awesome prize car!

I put a F40 up for share.
Nope, not there

Seems they slowed the rabbits down a bit. I fairly easily was able to win these with a bolt on modded only California at about 560pp. The last race at Toscana took a couple runs to get use to, but turned out to be a really fun track.
-
I agree .... my 458 is easily up to the task .... should dial it back a bit since theres a bonus.

I used a bone stock 430 Scuderia (0 modification) to beat 4/5 events. It wasn't ridiculously hard, but any sort of slip up and you were cooked though. The Nurburgring GP/D track gave me fits though and I couldn't come within 10 seconds of winning that one. Had to switch to a 620 hp 458 Italia to win.
My favorite was Toscana for sure. There were several turns where I could steer the Scuderia with just the throttle and lay down some super long black strips. What a sublime car :)

Carp, I'll check it at lunch today.
I don't know what the hell I did, but it is shared now. 8)

I used the 599, today. The tire wear made them pretty tough.

I never had much success with the 599, (I don't know why) but I've fallen in Love with the Scuderia 430, the 458 and the California (any of which will work with care).
I just found that the 458 Italia worked best for me. ;)

-
Merry Christmas to us! ^-^
-
Last night, I ran a few laps in the C7. The first lap was just over the Gold time, so I did a second lap 45/1000ths of a second under the Gold time. GT officials disagreed with this photo-finish and made me go around again. They thought I was more than 8 seconds too slow. :-\ The third lap left no doubt. 8)
When I finished, the world record was 21 seconds faster than my time! :o
-
More evidence that PD just doesn't fucking get it. Why the fuck would they force SRF on????? When I first read this event I thought that I might actually spend time working on it. Then I read that SRF was being forced on and said fuck it. Where's the fucking bitch thread?
-
Which event(s) have SRF forced on? Also, is it 90 minutes of chasing the even more ridiculously far away than usual rabbit?
The Corvette TT I do find vaguely interesting though, not because I really care about driving a "car in a bag" but because my brother-in-law (a retired GM mechanic) was telling me just last week about a GM Tech running a record-breaking lap around the Nurb in a C7, kinda neat that PD should include something like that in an event.
-
May sound stupid but that never will stop me. Whats SRF :-\
-
Whats SRF :-\
Skid Recovery Force.
It's basically the same as "Standard" physics was in GT5P.
-
Racing Intermediate tires, makes for no hassle races. Easily won all 3, with Spa being a blowout, and having most of the field a lap down.
Here's what I used...
Suzuka..........Honda Weider..595pp
Nurb...............HKS CT230R..600pp
Spa.................R35 TC........681pp
No bonus for using less PP, that's just the way the cars worked out.
Also, tried the Lambo Mercy largo super leggy whatchamacallit at Nurb, but it was just way too unruly. If you want to simulate no SFR, that's the car to use.
-
I tried the Lambo Diablo at Suzuka and changed tires on Lap 6.
I used the S2000 GT1 Turbo at the Nurb - changed to Soft Racing Tires from Rain tires at the end of lap 2.
I used the Peugeot HDIFAP @ Spa....Changed from Rains ti intermediates on Lap 8.
All of my cars were at 600PP/700Pp whichever the case, and are available fur use online if you have "GTallstar" friended. If you are interested in using them and don't have me on your Friend's List, send me a PM or an FR. :)
The way to help reduce the SRF....drop the Custom Differential Braking sensitivity down as well as the accel sensitivity....
It helps, but is not the answer to PD's INEPTNESS to check the settings BEFORE sending out the seasonal evnets. Yet again they are total boneheads. How many times can they FUCK up before we just leave?
-
The field pitted on me @ Suzuka :-\ .... I kept going on RS's .... 2nd place finished 1:12.xxx behind me. :P Used that New Honda that I've never driven .... think it was @ 595pp .... Expert race??? Nah .... was no challenge at all
Haven't done the others .... have no interest @ the Ring. I may take the C7 trash bag out for its first spin just to see what its like.
If anyone is stressing cause they want the Level23 ticket .... don't worry and let me know. I gots plenty of them to hand out
-
7:17 (current #1) @ the C7 Nurb TT is flat out ridiculous.
Only did 2 laps and am at 7:44. I can see maybe shaving off 5 seconds or so if I ran more laps.
This was my time driving the C7 and while it's not quite as bad as some folks made it seem, it's definitely not one of my favorite cars to drive, that's for sure. It's begging to be tuned.
-
In the hour or so I banged my head against the Vinyl Baggie I only ever completed 2 full laps of the Nurb, one I screwed up RIGHT at the end so I just carried on and started a fresh lap, the other was the 7'49.4xx lap I did. I spent more time restarting and DQing myself in just about every conceivable way than I did running actual complete laps.
Don't get me wrong, I love the track, I just find it a huge pain in the arse for a time trial because it's SO long. I'd much rather run something shorter and keep running laps if I get a red time than having to start over because there's still 11 country miles til the Start / Finish line, heck even La Sarthe would be acceptable and that's probably a good 5 minute lap in the C7.

Running a TT there is pretty nerve-wracking... I did 1 semi-conservative lap and called it a day. If I would've DQ'd for any reason - especially near the end, I would've tossed something across the room and quit. It's hard to be aggressive when you know if you cross the line, you've just wasted 10 minutes
-
1st outing in the drivers seat of the C7 Proto ....
1st lap RED - Crashed in Esse's at end of long straight coming to finish.
2nd lap GOLD @ 7:47 ...
In speculation mode, if I were able to tune ....
First order of business is BRAKES. Car sucks on corner entry under braking. Would start at 6/2
Again with the ass-end ... corner exit doesnt like full throttle. I'd try bumping up the RH rear. If that didnt do it, I'd adjust LSD to 5/15/30 to start.
Alittle push mid-corner, but easily adjusted with throttle pressure.
Overall, not a bad car .... certainly have driven worse.
2 tries at the Ring is enough for me .... I'm done.

Don't forget SRF is on and the car will feel completely different with it off.

Fortunately, I had some credits when I could use some and filled a few holes in my garage.
-
The C7 is pretty good for a heavy car (based on my preferences). First try I went off track in the first 30 seconds. Second try was 7:48.8, so I quit so I could make it to bed by 1:00am.

SRF was off when I looked...Traction control is on but you can turn it off
-
Yeah, it's all about tire choice on most of them. The first race, I tried switching tires with the weather, big mistake. Stuck racing softs on there and kept them on and it was a breeze. Next two races, I stuck with Racing Intermediate and won them without too much challenge. Now I'm trying C7 at the Ring. This is definitely an expert event. Damn car keep spinning either upon braking or acceleration. Pretty much a giant turd. Can believe Chevy would let them put such a piece of crap in the game. Gives them a bad name. Hard as fuck to drive.
-
I dont know that I put too much weight into a $50k purchase basing my research off a video game. We know how far off base PD can be on different issues would not seem very prudent to trust them entirely. If GM were making cyber cars then yes I see your point about them having egg on their face over this.

:stoopid:
The game physics can and have been changed on a whim, so they definitely can not be used to judge a real car by.
Before update 2.09 the NC Roadster was a much more accurate rendition of the real thing, than it is now. Mine has never had the amount of understeer the game car has now.
-
So, how do you see the tire model being "off", now, compared to before?
Is it just grip that is the problem, or is it more complicated than that?

My beef with the physics isn't tire related, but more car behavior. Since I current own a NC "Roadster", it's where I notice it being off. This particular car was close to the real one before update 2.09. With that said, there were, and still are some screwed up things with the tuning, that are reverse from real life.

Well I finally got through the Nurburgring in the C7. That was so frustrating. I could not get through the course without getting one tire into the grass at least once and that's all it would take. If you even barely touch a guardrail or get off into the grass more than just a hair, you get DQ'd. So after about 15 tries, I decided to just try to make it around the track without spinning out. Drove really cautiously and got silver. Then I discovered I had the damn Traction Control on (wish we could set that once and be done with it). So I turned it off and got Gold. The good news is that I probably know that track a little better now.

Man the whole holiday bonus crap came along at a great time. I went from level 36 to 40 in a few days. And the 4.1 million every nine mins from the Ferrari race @rome has helped fill the garage up as well.

Reminds of an apprentice I had once....... his excuse for repeated fuck ups was " I remembered, but then I forgot" (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/lol1.gif)
That's me. I'm great at remembering things like birthdays and such a day or so before I need to but then when the day actually comes, I forget.

Man the whole holiday bonus crap came along at a great time. I went from level 36 to 40 in a few days. And the 4.1 million every nine mins from the Ferrari race @rome has helped fill the garage up as well.
thought my 3.8mil at capering with a 510pp scuderia was good...

This is an expert level race event using GT500-class cars from the Super GT and Japan GT Championship series. Cars can be tuned to 600PP and tires are restricted to Racing/Hard or less. Participating with cars having a lower PP will grant a higher performance difference bonus to your rewards. For example, using a 550PP car will roughly double the reward after the race.

Isn't this similar to what we used back on December 19 Seasonals?
I'm thinking yes:

Holy carp, the TT at Motegi is freaking tough. Didn't think I was going to be able to get gold, but a couple breaks and 2 hours later, I barely squeaked by.
The DT at lil Suzi is fun as hell, very good drift track. Used the Honda Weiner there, and for the GT 500 TT.
Used the Gaylardo at the dreaded Madrid TT. Figured awd would help on the shitty tires. I just wanted to get that one over ASAP. I hate that :fucking track.
-
The trial at Madrid was weird because I can't remember ever running it in that direction. It has either been in the opposite direction or it was another version. It took less than four laps to beat it.
The Motegi was is a good challenge. You have to learn your driving line while on the job, but it took less than ten laps.

I found the Motegi TT frustrating (stupid first left hand turn sending me into the sand every time) but thoroughly enjoyed the one at Madrid. It's cake with a GT-R... a stock Z06 took some patience and man-handling to get gold with tho...

Also... I didn't read the wrules and tried to enter the Suzi DT with the Art Morrison Corvette and it said "Race Cars Only" so I tried to enter the Autumn Ring DT with the same car and it said "Normal Cars Only."

So what is this thing? Extra-normal? Paranormal?

From what I'm reading it seems that Skid Recovery Force (SRF) is once against forced ON.. I had actually been halfway interested in the event until I found out about that, excellent work PD ::).

I tried both 2wd cars (Renault and Lancia) but could only get siver at Eiger with them, then gave in to the RS200
-
The problem with Eiger is the distance ahead they start, the track is short enough the rabbit car gets like 2/3st of a lap or more headstart but the track isn't so short that they get fouled up in traffic like Autumn Ring Mini. That and the starting car can make it just about impossible, I had a Mini up front the first time when I was learning the track but could only get down to about 8 seconds away, reloaded the event and got a Ford Focus on pole (not sure what year) and caught it near the end of the last lap.
For what it's worth I used the Renault Megane 2.0 IDE Coupe with a couple of power bolt ons and fixed suspension only, won everything with ease except for Eiger but that was a combination of learning the track and the rabbit car up front.
Also I did a quick test at Autumn Ring Mini in the Practice lab and found with SRF on it made me a good 1.5 seconds quicker due to being able to hold more speed through corners and get the hammer down early on exit, almost like I was driving on sports tires instead of comfort, didn't check any other tracks or do tire comparisons.

Looks like this is yet another "expert level event" with SRF forced on, good to know PD thinks we're all beginners and need aids forced on in order to win ::).
Also the OCD has been updated with a selection of Miatas and some GT500 cars mostly.
-
Maybe some PD programming hack convinced the Seasonal organiser to use a feature he worked so hard on only to see everyone ignore it. :-\
Since Kaz approves all Seasonals himself, maybe it's his way of giving us the finger for something we said or did. It's not as if he hasn't played with us before. :D
But, overall, besides anything that our imaginations can think up, why would even a beginner need SRF with a Miata? It's not as if any of them are difficult to drive or control. :-\ Just leave the option open to use and it makes everyone happy. They are not doing GT any favours by locking it turned on.

:stoopid:
The seasonal events are lame enough as it is in terms of poor AI and "30+ second headstart / chase the rabbit" format (and some of the obscene power / tire choices) but this is just getting silly, and that's not even counting the other stuff I could grumble about :).
I have to wonder, does PD even know SRF is set on and locked? If they do know and did it on purpose I'd sure like to know why, does the person(s) that creates the Seasonal events even play GT5 or test them prior to release?

I'm guessing no to this. I recall one of the GT Academy races where they kept deleting time trials because people cheated. It was like no one thought to test the track first.
-
Like I said, Kaz apparently approves all Seasonals. I think that was said in a GTP interview.
OTOH, I also asked SCEA about this with the last one, but got no reply, as usual, so it isn't as if they don't know about our concerns or grumbles.

The NASCAR TT was simple and easy. The Tsukuba one was more of a challenge. I tried one car and struggled, then picked an MR2, maxed it out and still struggled, but it was a bit more manageable and stuck with it. Won Gold by a fraction of a second and left it.

As a fluke I grabbed a maxed out Buick GNX, then had to cut the HP in half, and add 139kg, but out of the 4 or 5 different cars I tried, it was the fastest, and most fun.
I also used the same car, at full power, for the DT at HSR-R.

This is an expert level race event using European racing cars. Cars may be tuned up to 590PP, and tires are limited to Racing/Hard or less. Participating with cars having a lower PP will grant a higher performance difference bonus to your rewards. For example, using a 540PP car will roughly double the reward after the race.

Unfortunately this one is also a Skid Recovery Farce :(, is PD trying to turn GT5 into some kind of arcade racer by forcing this fictional aid upon us?

The seasonals have mostly just been a money grab for me for quite some time now. I like being able to make millions in a short time compared to what it used to take when this game came out.
-
I really wish they'd leave their stupid made up tracks out of this. Regardless, I found this pretty much like Dude said, just a money grab. There have been a handful where I had no idea how to catch the rabbit, but these were fairly easy.
-
Oh yeah, without a doubt the seasonals are little more than a quick money grab these days :).
It's just the principle of the thing .. :old
-
right now the little tech guy at PD who is responsible for these seasonals is sitting in his cubicle,fingers stuck in his ears singing "LALALALALALA I CANT HEAR YOU!!!!!!"
-
I haven't ran any of the seasonals with the aids forced on, won't even do it for the money :o

It's not as bad as you think. At least they usually force some pretty hard tires. That said we should be the ones to decide whether or not to use SRF.

Well, after looking at the PP cluster :Fuck we got for the DTM cars (where in Hell did all of a sudden the Audi TT beat out the Merc Benz? Also the Opel..... (http://i.imgur.com/yH7eigp.jpg)
Oh, and after we have tuned about a half dozen, we get an up-date that negates the PP for the cars in the DTM online evnet.
SERIOUSLY, PD, Just what the hell are your monkeys doing in there? wait, I know, just like the "Trunk Monkey"...texting "Banana, Banana, Banana". That's all they know. >:( :(
-
I read some complaints on GTP, that the Miata seasonal is now un-winnable because the PP shift has downgraded them. :-\

At least they are time trials in the snow, not races.
Interesting about the Miatas. I will have to retry them. If anyone else has feedback about them, please tell me.
-
I read some complaints on GTP, that the Miata seasonal is now un-winnable because the PP shift has downgraded them. :-\
An actual challenge?
Cool. Maybe it'll actually be worth trying. I get tired of bank races... wait, that seasonal doesn't have some stupid IdiotDriver AutoCorrect on does it?
-
I tried to enter the Lambo TT last night right after it opened, but it said it had ended already and I would be given no time. The date posted in the event was 2/06/13 to 2/20/13. I think it is supposed to be 2/20/13 to 3/06/13. :) (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/zLOL.gif)

They just need to adjust the allowable PP for the event.
-
This problem was fixed pretty quickly.
However, the unbeatable Miata Seasonals may be a different story. Although I have asked them to review it, I kind of doubt that they will actually do something to make them work for most players. It was nice while they lasted, and they did remove the SRF, but I doubt they will waste much time over this one.
-
They apparently don't "waste" much time on ANYTHING! There are changes to various car's PP in the game that impact the ability to run in the seasonal evnets. The DTM is one example (bait - OCD, and switch - the revised PP in the middle of the seasonal evnets). The other is the situation with the Miata. Both of these would have been unnecessary had PD waited until this week's TT's were released. Most people do keep up with the challenges (sic) and have already completed the last evnet of the DTM races. Those that did not, well, apparently one cannot "snooze" for long in this
ever never ending changing game. If PD would just STOP DICKING AROUND WITH THE SETTINGS, we all would be a bit happier. There is, unfortunately, no easy answer to correcting the complex problems in the game that we have learned to live with and accept. So WHY NOW do they find the need to screw with the PP? :-\
C'mon PD - GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER! :(

There's a bunch of front wheel drive cheaters at the Chamonix DT. At the time of running a legitimate score, I was ranked 111, take out all the cheaters, and I'd be in the top 60-75. ::)

I used an AUDI and that was a half decent challenge. :copz:

I was determined to gold these in a rwd car .. mission accomplished but it took some effort in the snow

Only tried this at tskuba, but if you detune a F2007, the whole fieldd is them as well, but I was losing a second per lap. Granted I suck at driving those.

So, like, I'm on, attempt número cuatro (http://www.spanishdict.com/translate/number+four?lang_from=en#translators) attempt and dang I think I get it. ABS is Zero. You can do things. 1- Learn to drive with 0-ABS. 2- Adjust your RA functions to allow ABS adjustment on the fly and
Control and wheel users from the planet have reported achieving success, using understanding of surroundings or remapping of device to set RA functions (http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?p=5527482#post5527482) of user input device.
GT-R, however (http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?p=8301035#post8301035). That's a whole different story. At first I didn't have a clue how to use the thing. After a while you get used to it and learn to brake early and turn in smoothly. If you brake too late, you'll lose control. Don't try to take the AI going round a bend. Either take them going up to one just before the corner, or on the straights.
I need to go faster myself. I find myself just kicking back driving behind last place number 42. )

Yeah, the first two are pretty easy, got gold on both 2rd attempt. Just ran them several more times to see how low I could go. That GTR one though, is a headache.

ya that POS GTR is a handful. Well, we've been crying for a "challenge" for a while now, seems we got one......have fun with it

These are expert level race events using the stylish MINI. Cars can be tuned up to 450PP, and tires are limited to Sports/Hard or less. This race gives you a “Performance Difference Bonus” where cars with lower PP receive a reward bonus. For example, winning with a 370PP car in this race will roughly double the reward.
-
I did all of the new Seasonals last night. Beat only one because the car I chose was too under-specced. Don't do that. ::)
The wheelspin at Eiger warrants adding the Adjustable LSD.
-
Last night, I cleared the remaining MINI Seasonals after adding on the adjustable LSD. With only the practice from the night before, I was able to Gold the last four on the first try, with a second or more to spare.
HP = 175
PP = 397
Tires = CS
The LSD at default levels is very effective at controlling wheelspin.
-
Good to know. Nice jorb @ 397pp. :)
-
The description uses 370 PP as an example and Rome was relatively easy at that level, but I bumped up the tires to Sports Hards to get it. It still let me get a couple of secs on the AI.
I'm not sure how that would work out on the other tracks, however.
-
I managed 389pp using a mini S '02 straight from OCD. I altered the drive train, suspension and tires. It had plenty to get through the first 4 tracks, but I have a hard time at the Eiffels and bumped up pp with a supercharger.

Ran a 1:26.066 for gold, trying to be as smooth, with as little wheel spin as possible.
Then ran a balls out drift lap, and put down a 1:26.067. ^-^
-
The time trials are, basically, one-lappers. I took two because of simple, silly mistakes.
At least the SRF was locked off, this time.

This actually looks like fun. I wouldn't mind losing Eifel and having SRF as an option, but oh well.
-
All of these took one attempt, except the last one.
That is some wiiiide Eifel track!

What do y'all think of the recent Seasonals?
At least now they have made some recent ones with SRF locked off, but they still haven't been all that much of a challenge. One, two laps if we are sloppy, and we're done.

I thought Time / Drift trials were the only ones with SRF locked off? I did the Nostalgic Supercars one at HSR and could have sworn SFR was forced on unless they've changed it (tried the E-Type Jag and made an easy 3rd, tried with SRF off in practice mode and skidded all over the track), didn't bother the other races.
I have liked the car groupings they've been running even if it is a rehash of A-Spec events, but I didn't bother actually running them because I don't like SRF being forced on.
-
I've noticed some had SRF on and some didn't, but I haven't spent more time doing them than I had to, to beat them. To me, they have been really easy, which takes away a lot of interest in them.

From what I've noticed...
Races=SRF on
TT/DT=SRF off

Looks like a bunch of FWD cheaters in the Spa DT. I don't get what the point of that is. :-\
Also, I scored 23,000+ in a modded out 300C at Spa. :D

I don't know, I don't really drift. I only know Chrome mentioned they were cheaters.
Also, I don't think FWD drifts as much as flings it's ass around.

^This
They're not drifting. They're holding the handbrake, and zig zagging back and forth. With the very low speed they're traveling, they spend a bunch of time in the drift zone, racking up points like crazy. It makes getting a good ranking, with a legit run impossible.
The top score right now is in a FWD Mini Marcos, at 38,000, along with a bunch of others.

You guys pay too much attention to the details. I'm not smart enough to look at all the requirements of the races. I couldn't tell you if SRF was on or off (I'm not even sure I know what it means or what it does). It sometimes takes me several races to figure out why my car starts each race in 3th gear after I've accidentally knocked the shifter lever forward.
I pick my son up from school almost every day. My wife yells at me from time to time if I didn't notice the child didn't bring home the jacket he took to school. I explain to her that she's lucky I bring the right kid home.
-
There was not much reason to look at Seasonal details before, except for the basics, until they started adding in Skid Recovery Force, a make-believe driver aid. I don't notice until it arises in conversations.
As for your son's jacket... he is going to school to learn, right? Not all lessons are learnt in the classroom, so if he is too cold the next day, then he learnt why and maybe he won't forget next time. At least that is one way to justify that you are a good parent. :angel:

I'm pretty sure I suck as a parent, but I'm definitely the coolest parent. I let Hayden watch Archer with me (much to his mother's dismay), I let him wear a red shirt with green shorts if he so desires, and he's been riding shotgun in the Z06 since he was old enough to see over the dash. When he and his friends are old enough to enjoy beer, I'm probably going to be even cooler (though by then I'm going to have to figure a way to keep my beer inventory--roughly $1500--to myself).
-
Had some fun with this one.....Tried the Mazda RX7 GTX, The '91 Acura NSX, The Subaru Imprezza 22B Coupe, the Gathers Drider Civic Racecar, and the Mazda RX7 Gen 3 '95 premium car.
Had fun with all of them, but preferred the Acura (stock, not RM).....had the most fun with it over the others.
Didn't bother with any of the MX5's or Miatas, I've over-worked them in other races, LOL.
Too much fun!

Racing Medium front / Racing Soft rear

I don't know, but watch out when you let off on the gas. ::)
Typically, this should have been a one-lapper, but I unbalanced the car and spun off the road. Oooops.
I did about three laps and came in 71rd, about 5th for Canada. I may try to maintain my rank, but, at some point, the time necessary to improve isn't worth the gains I get, so we will see.

Awesome time Wiz. It is still strong at P189.
You wouldn't happen to have a tune for that thing?

Tip of the day for Subaru TT
Go to 23 seconds on my vid.... you should be able to keep it floored from before that left side rumble strip all the way to the brake zone for the hard right before the bridge overpass. If you're having to lift off the throttle through the right/left esses, you need to practice that spot until you can get through there without lifting.
A really good exercise for this spot is to keep starting over if you goof up. I know starting over and over isn't fun, but it's early in the lap so it isn't too bad. The point of the exercise is getting through those esses on cold tires. It's a bit trickier to get through there with cold tires but once you get it figured out, getting through on warm tires should be a breeze.

I put the car together at lunch and my bspec drivers are breaking it in at GV now.

I look at typical opponents in the 430pp hothatch and the 1976 Golf GTI stands out as something wrong. I do not think the car has 177hp. Wrong, wrong and wtf.
-
I'm fairly sure that little Golf can get over 200hp with all the power mods, it's a near little car :). Only downside is you can take ANY Euro car at 430PP or less into the event because there isn't an actual "Hot hatch" classification / restriction, also Skid Recovery Farce :(.

This is the tune I got my 32 with...

Tip of the day for Subaru TT
Go to 23 seconds on my vid.... you should be able to keep it floored from before that left side rumble strip all the way to the brake zone for the hard right before the bridge overpass. If you're having to lift off the throttle through the right/left esses, you need to practice that spot until you can get through there without lifting.
A really good exercise for this spot is to keep starting over if you goof up. I know starting over and over isn't fun, but it's early in the lap so it isn't too bad. The point of the exercise is getting through those esses on cold tires. It's a bit trickier to get through there with cold tires but once you get it figured out, getting through on warm tires should be a breeze.
VERY TRUE!
turn a little before you think you need to, and turn back immediately!
and yes, I will try to get that 33!!
Actually there is no try. I will just do it!

Go get that 33 Ex! :)
got it! 1:33.803 which had a couple mistakes but I couldn't get that perfect (for me) lap to come together before realizing I was spending way too much time on it...
Wiz and Fried were still above me on the leaderboards... not unexpected ;)
-
For my first time ever using an X car, I got a 2:20.513 in this time trial.
It just took a bit of practice to figure it out, so no biggie.
-
I'll have to give the Red Bull a run...I know I put in some good laps at Sarthe after an event one night. It was fun.
-

I think it was me that was running laps with you that night. I forgot about that.... that was fun.
I wasn't planning on running any laps for X2010 TT but now I just might have to. :)
-
Yeah that was me Wiz. I think it was after the final GT300/500 series race. There were a few other guys as well. I got out during kids' nap time today for this TT. Got 2'17.8##. Pretty good lap I think. I didn't notice much time loss anywhere. If anything, faster drivers probably make up time in the chicanes on the big straight. Compared to drivers with slower times, I probably make up time on the mid speed right going onto the big straight (early in the lap) on the Porsche curves...where I can almost keep it full throttle all the way through. Keep it in 7th and hold on!
-
I can't drive any of those X cars. It took me 4 attempts just to get through the chicane when the damn TT starts. Then I couldn't get past turn 1, so I said :fuck it.
I don't see how anybody drives them things, absolutely no fun for me. >:(
-
Got a 2:19.309.
Doubt I'll go back. It wasn't nearly as fun as I remember. (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)
Too many red :fucking laps. :P
Nice run Turbo! :)
-
There are places you have to be real careful about penalties. The chicanes on the big straight, the slow left after the back straight and the fast right (Indy?), it's not clear where the boundaries really are, especially at those speeds, and the last 2 chicanes. I think my problem was that the car turned in too fast if I wasn't real careful.
My lap was 337 in world, including the cheaters.

At these speeds, I found that, if I thought of the car as an aeroplane, I have to think of the flow of the track more. I never drove an X car before and didn't find it all that difficult once I started flying the car.
You also have to focus more into the distance and be more conscientious of what corner you are approaching is like and how you are going to get a good exit. Eventually, you will hit a wall and level out your progress, though. That took about 10 laps, for me.
Definitely a challenge, but at least the car isn't skating all over the place, the way a lot of slower cars do. Lower the steering wheel resistance, for quicker steering, and use the roof cam, for a better near view.
-
turn-in is of paramount importance on the x cars too... do it a littler sooner than yhou think in many cases... and many of those cases, don't require full lift of right foot ;)
I'll probably just keep a respectable time and position and not take this one too seriously, but I had to give it a try.

Thanks, soks.....also, The previous seasonals ( I do not count TT's and DT's as seasonal races) That involved European Hot Hatch cars....
Any of you that had difficulty..Try the Peugeot 206 RC '03 - it rocks.

580PP Stars & Stripes:
If you want a challenge, try using the 2014 Corvette Prototype. You can't buy any parts for it, so you have to run it stock (532pp). I tried it at Grand Valley a couple times, but the rabbit just gets to big of a lead for me to catch. A faster guy might could do it. My 1th attempt got me to 2rd place, 11 seconds behind the rabbit, 2th attempt got me to 3nd, as there were 2 rabbits in that race, but I finished only 8 seconds back. The 2 rabbits were Ford GTs, and were only .6 apart at the line.
I also noticed something strange about the rabbit's lap times. "He" and I were running similar lap times, although mine were a tad faster in the '14 Vette, except the 1rd lap. "He" ran a low 1:57 on lap 1, then ran high 2:06 - low 07s the rest of the race. My 1th lap was a 2:08, because of the slow rolling start, but the rabbit runs his quickest lap by 9 seconds. ^-^
Wound up using the Challenger SRT8 in a couple races, and the '10 Camaro in the rest.
-
So last night I was pootling around on my other account buying some 0 mile OCD cars and doing some old non-SRF seasonals for quick cash and decided to run through the latest TTs / DTs using the DS3 controller. Anyway long story short I remember why I aboslutely hate those stupid X1 cars, took me probably 10 tries just to get the start line, no no not the start / finish line at the end of the lap.. the start line, to begin the timed lap! Only ever completed one good lap, could easily have run faster but the stupid thing is so hideously frustrating I just gave up :).

If you enter and exit you can get a different line up of cars and hopefully no Ford GT's.
Also, the lead car is probably a third of the way through the lap when you hit the starting line. It makes it really hard to make up that deficit.

HOLY SHIT I tried that Ferrari @ Spa challenge last night, and guess what?
It's on full rain and with 100% surface water!!!
completing a shitty lap with a bad spin got me 3,000rd place or something. then got a better lap with no major mishaps and it was down into the 1000s
I'd imagine most people will gold and dash on this one, because it is so frustrating.
So actually that gives anyone who sticks with it a better chance of placing rather hgih on the rankings...
-
Lap one a bronze lap two spun lap three got gold was no lap four. Think it placed me 1500 or so.
-
I hate the F1 cars almost as much as the X cars, but I still tried it, and promptly said FUCK it.
The C63 at Nurb was actually pretty fun though. I ran quicker laps drifting, than I could trying to be civil. I think I have a 2:23.1??, and that was with making plenty of smoke, and smiling the whole time. :)

Sorry, but I could never see what got so exciting about drifting. When the first drift trial came out, I tried it and said :Fuck it. To me watching somebody scrub all of that good rubber off of a tire is like watching my dog scoot his ass across the living room rug - I wanted to beat the shit out of both, (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif) But, alas reality set in and I took the dog to the vet to get de-wormed. Too bad I couldn't do that with the drift driver...
:muhaha

Hello, MASTR GT! HELP!!
Sorry Guys, fell off my meds this morning.
-
PD should look at which cars haven't traditionally been used much and fill the remaining months with Time Trials and SEasonal races with those cars. One makes, etc.
There are a lot of cars that we collected because we just HAD to have them, and 10 diferent colors of them even. But have we put even a mile on many of them?
-
better yet 'X' why not have 1 of the TT's a tuner and the other untuned.
-
certainly...
but the TT's lately have been done by handing you a car to drive because the cracked cars and other shinanegans are still rampant.
Note... GT Saturdays will be doing the above... looking for cars seldom or never used, over the next few months.

I've been enjoying playing on a level field with the assigned cars.

Drifting with a 900 degree wheel is very hard compared to a controller (better yet, a 200 degree wheel - like the old driving force feedback wheel - is awesome for drifting)

While I appreciate your enthusiasm for drifting, If ya can't use a 900 degree steering wheel for the "sim", then why bother? Using a hand controller or a 200 Degree steering wheel "smacks" of being "arcady", IMHO. Call me a "purist"', but that's how I roll, buddy.
I'm not opposing people who like to drift, but I think if you want the same experience with drifting as you have with the intensity of sim racing, then why use arcade devices? If it is THAT difficult to "drift" with a 900 degree wheel, then why don't real D2 Racers IRL use DS2 controllers to drift their cars - wouldn't it be easier?? (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)
-
shit, I'd even go so far as to say that I wish GT didn't pander to the drifting "sport" at all. I use that word reluctantly, mind you.
I think PD is basically pandering to the Japenese youth who love drifting so much.
Oh, and need I say that drift cars are the most riced-out and ugly cars ever designed (most of them)?. (note, riced out does not mean asian, but gaudy, visually busy for the sake of being as flasy as possible)
Yes, I know drifting takes skill, both in mechanics and in driving, but it's much like saying that jumping off of an airplane is a sport or body piercing being a sport. The analogy being that the intention of the activity is to do a thing with the subject matter that was not intended.
And then judging the "competition" subjectively by such things as "style" and "finesse" rather than something measurable like crossing the line first or fastest. That to me says "neato" or "gee golly that's fun to watch" but not "SPORT" or "COMPETITION".
Bikini model competitions are more meritorious than drifting in my book. At least when a bikini model gets up on stage there is a physical reaction from spectators which can, if necessary, be measured. ;)
-
Croonah my understanding has been that real life pro drifters seriously quicken their steering ratio.
And Ex I mostly agree with you. It does require some amount of car control talent but the only time I see overlap of drifting and racing is in some rally stuff and in Outlaw cars on little dirt ovals. If they would add those to GT then I would be willing to give drifting a go. Otherwise drifting is similar to drag racing for me, it's just not for me at all.
-

Along with a bunch of other things.
I have fun drifting in this GAME, and have done more than my fair share of getting sideways in real life.
You don't have to like it, and I don't have to read people talking about how stupid they think it is.
-
Yeah I know they change much more than the steering I was just keeping the to tthe topic of Cronahs post about the steering in particular. And I was just saying its not for me. I recognize the car control it requires but I am a racer at heart. To me drifting is much about style which means little to me personally as a driver. Was not trying to be insulting and want to be clear about that.

Sorry mate! That was my point. That I don't like it. I would not want you to stop liking something you enjoy, by any means. I was hoping my post would be read with a bit of a toung 'n cheek humor, given that it linked some very wildly different things in an analogy and also featured a joke at the end...
I'm not on a serious campaign to get people to stop drifting. I just hope you all leave enough rubber for the rest of us!
I would echo Baked's comment about rally. On dirt drifting is an important aspect of the overall driving technique and often necessary for goods times.
I have definitely had some fun in my own car on the dirt and sideways. Not to mention the many stomachs of passengers I have turned inside out during the process.
VERY FUN!!!!
And I suppose that sort of comes around to disprove my point from before. Car control that is introduced in drifting is probably a very important thing for everyone to learn at least a little, because hitting the e-brake and drifting when you are coming up to a corner that is MUCH too sharp for your velocity can actually save your car and your life. At the very least, save you from a ticket when the friendly police come by to rescue you from the ditch. :o

It's fun.
GT as a franchise fails as a pure SIM.
I (probably) wouldn't try drifting IRL even if I had a proper car for it.
I'd rather do it well and have fun with a separation from SIM than try to use a 900 wheel with little to no connection to actually feeling the car's movements and fail miserably for countless hours for the sake of learning how to play a game. Force feedback in a wheel can't simulate what we're talking about here.
Also, It's fun.
-
While I'm not an intentional drifter I do respect drifting. Drifting was part of Racecamp 2012 GT Academy.
-
It just rubbed me the wrong way reading comments that sounded like they were saying that a big part of the game for me, was a waste. I enjoy drifting, and improving doing so. It's no less relevant to me, as running a super fast time is to some of you. That's all I'm going to say about that. :)
Also, I'm a controller user by choice. I had a wheel, didn't like it, and sold it, with no desire to change.
I still feel like I'm coming off as an asshole, which I get a lot at work, but i don't mean to be. :grphug
-
In the years I have known you, you habe neven once come off as an asshole. There is no harm in being true to what you believe. As long as you can state it somewhat respectfully. Its a great big world big enough for all of us. Well most of us. ::)
-
Thanks Baked.

Drifting is the only thing keeping me in this game right now. I have fun trying to beat Chrome, (he is quite good ;D don't cha know) Josh and a few others who do it. If you don't wish to join in that's fine too. It is also nice to be able to actually compete with some people for a change which makes it more enjoyable for me as well. Carry on. :) Also, also back when I was playing the only racing game on the Intellivision system back in the early 80's I dreamed about what I can now do and enjoy with GT5.
-
My first attempt at Rome was in my TunaCup S2000 LM Race Car, changed only power, tires, aero. Couldn't beat 6000 points. My competitive side took over and I grabbed my RX7 TC. Very good score Looney.
-
Thanks Turbo. :)
-
shit, I'd even go so far as to say that I wish GT didn't pander to the drifting "sport" at all. I use that word reluctantly, mind you.
...
Yes, I know drifting takes skill, both in mechanics and in driving, but it's much like saying that jumping off of an airplane is a sport or body piercing being a sport.
I don't really want to visualize Ex drifting in a bikini, but having said that, I read recently that there are some "professional" gamers that are now being classified by some US government agency as professional athletes. I didn't see it clarified as to what games these guys are playing, but it may have been some sort of big league sport (there are some big-buck tournaments for them to play). This is raising a few eyebrows, too, as you can imagine.

Great news everyone!
This latest seasonal has SRF set to optional, hooray!! Thankd PD :D.
-
I'm not sure I am consistent enough to test this, but I'd be interested in the difference that SRF on vs off makes.
-

I suspect the impact would be different at each track but since I'm doing some parts testing on the side. I might could mess around and come up with some numbers at one or two tracks where I am fairly consistant.
-
in order for SRF to make you faster, don't you have to intentionally throw the car into slides? I could see that helping, but you have to be good at that sort of thing.
in online races, though, noobs use SRF because it helps save them from mistakes. so that's an entirely different type of advantage, I'd say.
-
I'm not sure I am consistent enough to test this, but I'd be interested in the difference that SRF on vs off makes.
It does depend a lot on the car and track, I remember doing some testing when the Seasonals first started having it forced on and had some interesting results but generally SRF is faster. I think the first forced SRF was the World Compact Car seasonal a while back, I remember doing some testing with both that one and the Mazda MX-5 one that followed.
I think I used the Renault Megane 2.0 IDE Coupe (FF standard car) at World Compact Car specs and tested in Practice Mode at Autumn Ring, with SRF on the times were about 1.5-2.0 seconds faster than with SRF off. I had the same results testing an MX-5 / Roadster (I forget which) at London for the other one. The interesting thing thogh was the Indy Oval, for some reason SRF made almost no difference there, it was marginally faster but only by a couple tenths at best.
in order for SRF to make you faster, don't you have to intentionally throw the car into slides? I could see that helping, but you have to be good at that sort of thing.
Sort of yes and sort of no, it does depend on the car you're driving but you can drive relatively normally once you get used to it's affect on the car. At a basic level it's sort of like the difference between say Sports Hard and Sports Soft tires, do a couple of laps on Hards then switch to the Softs and you can immediately tell the difference in grip and can drive the car harder / faster. The way I like to think of SRF working is that it's magically switching your tire compounds while you drive, so you start on Sports Hard but can push harder and carry more speed through and accelerate harder out of corners because it increases your grip to Soft compound levels if / when you start to slide.
It's really noticeable in FF cars as it reduces the understeer you should get especially on crappy tires, but it also helps FR and other rear drive cars also with understeer and a bit with oversteer so you can sort of throw all the cars around a more than you would without it. It doesn't turn an ordinary car into an X2010 or 2J by any means but it does allow you to push harder/ drive faster.
-
okay thanks for that write-up, feld!
one thing I've wondered about, and would ilke to know if anyone every found out for sure, like from a statement from PD or something...
...is whether SRF is a new assist that PD is actually trying to market to manufacturers as a new form of safety mechanism.
anyone know?

As I understand it, SRF is an artificial aid that defies the laws of physics. Basically, as a tire loses grip, it becomes more grippy instead of less grippy.

:stoopid:
As Feldynn stated, it basicly upgrades whatever tires you're on, up 1 or 2 levels. More likely the latter.

Thanks for your SRF comments, guys. It is the only aid that I turn off in my lobbies so I don't have a lot of experience using it (not that I use all of the others, either :-* ), except in these Seasonals, of course.

I wish they gave PP bonuses for the seasonal TT. I grabbed a 550 PP ACR and forgot to tune it up to 600. Gold by 1.5 seconds (took me about 5 laps to get it clean). I guess the extra HP after 550 PP isn't really necessary. (I may have been at 1480kg)
-
yea, that is strange there's only one of each, but I bet participation was down recently due to Academy. It certainly was easier to place higher in the rankings.

Drift Trial
American Cars: Cape Ring North Course Drift Trial
After numerous runs, I posted a 11,000+ score(ranked low 300s), with room to add to it, but will be tough to do so. I've gotten 3000+ in the 1rd sector, 2000+ in the middle two each, and 5000+ in the last one, but never all in the same run. :P
-
In other news, Enyo_Grill is no longer the top Canadian time trialist as far as consistency.
He's got to beat Forza_Ferrari in the current and future TT's to get the top spot back.
YOU CAN DO IT!
I moved up from 104th in the US to 84th with the last set of TT's. I know there's no prizes, but it's fun to try and see if I can keep climbing...
-
I figured I'd check the official website to see what the top car was for the Drift Trial, to my surprise I discovered PD has now limited Drift Trials to FR, RR and MR cars only! No more butt-dragging FF cars on the top of the leaderboard now, huzzah.. though I also noticed they've excluded 4WD cars too :(.
Can't win them all I guess, but at least the removal of FF is a good thing even if it does have a price tag :).

was that an exploit of the FF cars in Drift Trials? To simply drive them in reverse and get them to slide easily? was it enough to get top points?

The exploit basically was you could drive an FF car forwards around the drift course with the handbrake mostly on and score huge points, but it looked like a dog with worms dragging it's butt across the carpet :). Not really an exploit or glitch since FF cars were freely allowed but it's not really what most people would consider drifting.

I actually did the Rome race. Beware the Series One, my friends.
I bought and set up a Supra SZ-R (the one with no turbo). Tuned it to maybe 315hp/1365kg (461PP). I had no chance of catching the Shelby Series One. I actually hardly caught the Fairlady Z '08 (370Z) in second. I exited and returned to find a M3 '04 as the rabbit, and passed him near the end of lap 5. Good for almost $1 million. (with the % login bonus).
The car worked pretty good. I'll have to drive it a bit more.

I was home for lunch and looking at the Eiger TT. Some fucker has put a hacked car in p1. It has tires sticking out of the fender wells and sounds like an F1 car.

the recently closed Time Trial has some hacked car times too, which hopefully will be cleaned up (on MyGranturismo.net too hopefully)
MasterGT said he reported it so hopefully it does get cleaned up. The people who do that sort of thing need to know they won't stick.
Having something like a time 20+ seconds faster than everyone else really screws up the stats at MyGranturismo.net
I think we're just seeing a resurgence of hacking Time Trials because of the last update removing some of the hackable features and people wanting to protest it.
I've never truly been against the hacking completely, but this type of behavior -- attack the people, not the company, does not sit well with me.
It's like a "freedom fighter" attacking civilians to further his cause, becoming a terrorist by definition. It DOESN'T help his cause.

I just noticed that today as well. Seems useless to me. If there's a premium version, they should dump the standard.
-
They did the same thing last Sept 13, '69 Z28 and the MB 300SL Coupe '54 were both released as standard. Hmmmm.
-
why indeed
-
because they imported all the cars from GT PSP...
I bought them just for something to spend credits on.
But seriously, what is with this new Seasonal time trial and all the cheating???!!
I think I've given up on it because even some of the 2J times are apparently manipulated somehow...
Stupid PD for making two time trials in a row that the 2J can dominate. They should have restricted that car as well as the 5G version of the Red Bull...
-
Can anyone good at time trials maybe give this #70 600pp race cars at Sarthe a try to see if I'm on to something here? (this is the one ending tonight, and it is run at the night track)
In this particular TT, most of the really obvious cheater cars were specifically excluded, such as the Red Bulls.
Unfortunately the 2J was not, so it is two time trials in a row that seem dominated by the car. Or is it?
I ask, because I can't get remotely close to the times that some people are getting with that car. I wouldn't expect to be right up there with the leaders, but at least several seconds back on a track like Sarthe 2009 w/ chicanes.
Now, it's at night so driving the 2J is a PITA for sure, but if you have a ghost to chase it's easier.
So, getting to the main point (finally) there were some hidden versions of the Red Bulls being used which many entries were cleaned up. They are the ones that say "(5g)" in the car name. PD cleaned those up because they are obvious hacks/cheats.
What I suspect is that many of the other seemingly legit car's times are also hacked because the times are a little too good to be true.
Take a look:
http://www.mygranturismo.net/rankings.php?sec=3&board=146 (http://www.mygranturismo.net/rankings.php?sec=3&board=146)
These times seem to be bunk too:
Imprezza Super Touring Car
RS200 Rally Car '85
FTO Super Touring Car
ALTEZZA Touring Car
Focus Rally Car '99
155 2.5 V6 TI '93
Vertigo Race Car '04
At first I tried the Vertigo because I wanted to see if anything could rival the 2J without actually using the 2J. THere was nothing I could do to that car to get it close to the times (within 9 or 10 sec would have been okay).
I tried the GT One Race Car with a tricked out ballast and limiter did well enough, which was good enough to beat everyone on my FL except a guy using a 2J, who was obviously not cheating btw.
I went back to the 2J not wanting to drive in the dark, but tried everything I could think of to trick the car out, but it was noticably slower than my GT One RC. That stands to reason that most of the 2J times are hacked cars, but certainly not all of them.
I think anything faster than "X" time with a 2J must also be faked.
Can anyone get something relatively close to the top 2J times, meaning as close as you would typically be in a Time Trial like this one?
I'm hoping to pass along some analysis to MasterGT so maybe the new Time Trials will be better planned.
My time in the GT One is:
966 exXboxFan United States 03:49.673

The Vertigo has a "feature". (As does the Speed 12)
If you disbale aero (set to lowest setting) you can then slide your engine slider to the LEFT and end up with more hp (though lower pp) than if you slide it RIGHT all the way.
I use this "feature" to :fuck with people out on DSS with the Speed 12. If the pp is set right there is no car in the game that can keep up. PP is low but HP is more than 1000.
-
I'm pretty sure I did that, but perhaps I'll have to double-check.
You're just talking about the general rule of lessening downforce so you can up your HP, right?
Maybe I'm still confused, IDK.
-
Typically I'm a bit behind Ex so no surprises. another reasonably fast friend used the 2J and is 1/10st faster than your GT1 time Ex if that helps

was that Fijiboi1989 by any chance? he was at the top of my FL with a 2J and I just fell shy of his time with a GT One RC.
I didn't have time to try this last night (well I had time but also had a new game ;) ) oh well

Same here. I was gonna give this a go, as I'm curious myself, but GTA5 sounded like the better option last night.
TC-Amo87 is usually pretty high up on the leaderboards. I think he finished top 20 worldwide in the last Academy. I think he was the highest 2J in this TT and I'd be surprised to find out that he was hacking it. I think he is legit.
-
so much GTA V that you're starting to vouch for people :D
I bet there's just a tuning trick that I don't understand yet, and not being as fast of course.
But those like the Subaru I don't understand at all how they could be up so high...
-
After searching around the net a bit (mainly GTP), I believe all the other cars you listed were indeed hacked.
Also, yes I do believe there are some tuning tricks that the really fast guys use. I've tried some of these tricks and for my style they made the cars practically undriveable. The trick is to basically get the cars to slide like crazy. Not really a drift, but similar to what was going on in GT Academy, only perhaps a little more extreme.

Just noticed this on GT Planet (http://www.gtplanet.net/first-seasonal-events-for-gran-turismo-6-now-live/) and figured I'd repost it here, first Season Evnet is up for GT6:
Gran Turismo 6 is finally here and if you left the previous game feeling a bit weary of the possible absence of Seasonal Events in GT6, fret not as the first round of events are now available featuring the Honda Fit RS, 15th Anniversary Cars (where applicable) and the Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision GT.
Events are contested with no more than 380PP for the Fit RS, 450PP for the 15th Anniversary Cars with Comfort/Soft compounds or less for both, and 584PP for the AMG VGT with Sports/Hard compounds or less.

Done them last night! Was checking out things and just decided to do them!
-
I received 5 15th Anniversary Cars for pre-order. None of them can make it into the seasonal. :(

Mercedes-Benz AMG VGT Super Lap / 1 Lap
Period of Availability: 12/4/2013 20:00 – 1/1/2014 22:00
Gold: Cr.12,500 Silver: Cr.7,500 Bronze: Cr.5,000
Just finished this one. Took me 9 laps before I had a valid one. (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)
Didn't spend much time on the other 2, gold and go.

The latest seasonal features the 2015 BMW M4. One lap around the Nurburgring GP track. Get gold and you receive 100k credits AND the BMW M4.
Yeah baby! ^-^
-
That M4 one seems to be very popular. It's a lot harder to climb the "ladder" so to speak, which usually means there's a lot more participation. Given it's a prize car that's newly revealed, I'm sure that explains why. :)
At first drive, I really like the M4.

Me too. I love the M4

Ok...so my brother is doing the Mario Andretti hotlap and is having some difficulty. Between attempts he notices the record pace is a 1:13.xxx and is like "How the Fuck do you 1:13 this fucker" and proceeded to check replays. Somehow ppl are running this time trial in an Audi R8 and not the Hudson, What the fuck?

An S2K tune for the new Seasonal.

I've used some of his tunes in 5 and always liked them. I won't have a chance to try this one out until tonight.

I just added parts to the prize car S2000. I didn't even touch the suspension or transmission settings. It wasn't too hard even with SRF off. BTW I'm loving that they aren't forcing SRF on us any more. Too bad we can't filter rankings by SRF.
The R18 appears to be the car for the anniversary car seasonal.

Is there a web page that shows the Seasonal Events, like there was for GT5?

Snake did it with the HSV but he had SRF on. But the HSV usually is pretty fast.

I wound up doing the XNR one, with a nearly stock car, only added race trans. This was the first time driving this car, and it wasn't that bad, for an oldy.
The Lambo on the other hand is a monster. That's just way to much power for SH tires. I tried and tried to get gold with it stock, but could only muster a Silver. Added the customizable suspension, and used my Samba Bus tune. :laugh That shit worked, got gold right away.
The Lotus and it's massive lift off oversteer was a problem, but I countered that by adding weight to the front, and got the balance to 48/52. That still allowed for rotation, but was much easier to deal with. Beat the gold time by the largest margin here, out of the 3 evnets.
Haven't run these on my other ID yet, the Lambo evnet wore me down.

That sounds like fun. I shall attempt to gold with stock settings tonight. :)

My other ID hasn't won the Diablo yet, gotta find out where that gets handed out. Buying it cost more than the seasonal pays out. :P
Edit: The Diablo is the prize car for getting all stars in the I-B section.
-
Some of you out there aren't too happy about the SRF being avaialble for TT's, and I think you may be staying out of them because you don't want your "rank" if there ever is one published somewhere, to look abysmal.
I've been doing them when they get released, and yea I'm sort of half-way in-between caring about my placement and not giving a shit.
But there is an alternative - Do them after the rankings registration period is over. That way, you get the credits but don't even appear on the leaderboard!
This is what I've done with some of the recently "closed" ones.
-
I don't do these for the ranking, but I do like to see where my half assed attempts end up amongst my friends. I mainly want the paint chips, and the credits.
I wish they would bring on the Matte Green. Excellent military color.

I checked to make sure I have the cars today. I was unsure what stock was on the '96 Lotus race car so I purchased a fresh 111 R race car.
I'm glad they list where the Diablo came from mine was out of spec and did not show up at first due to being filtered out.

A cool thread at the planet for running stock at the seasonals. http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/stock-seasonal-time-trials-7-xnr-ghia-roadster-diablo-gt2-elise-race-car-2-26-to-3-26.304098/ (http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/stock-seasonal-time-trials-7-xnr-ghia-roadster-diablo-gt2-elise-race-car-2-26-to-3-26.304098/)
Also, I should have looked there first for the stock settings. ^-^
*Elise Race Car '96 Stock Settings:
- Suspension: 80/90 - 5.32/9.60 - 4/4 - 4/4 - 3/3 - 0.0/0.0 - 0.00/0.20
- Transmission: 230 km/h or 143 mph (Gears: 3.552, 2.396, 1.736, 1.328, 1.074 - Final Gear: 3.938)
- Downforce: 150/400
Diablo GT2 '98 Stock Settings:
-Downforce: 50/100
-
I'm like Chrome. I run them for the cash, the paint and to see where I sit among friends.
When I look at the leader boards, the count doesn't start for me until the first guy with SRF off shows up. He may be ranked 11st but that's where I start my target.
The Lambo event is tiresome, the Lotus event was awesome and the Plymouth event was pretty darn fun for an oldie.
-
I mostly just run them for the the Gold prize and move on these days, the odd one I may actually enjoy and might try to put in a decent (friends list wise) time on if I actually remember to do them while registration is open. Usually it's just a case of "one and done" for me though.
I rarely even bother to look at Global leaderboards now on this or any game, most of them are or have been tainted by cheaters, glitchers or exploiters of one form or another so for me the majority of the rankings can be taken with a pinch of salt at the very least.
-
:stoopid:
on the other hand... when SRF was forced on many of us suggested it be there as an option.... which it is. As stated in the other thread it would be nice if we could separate the results. It would be nicer still if the guys who don't need it to be fast would leave it alone :2c
-
I am surprised by how many fast guys actually still use it. I have heard some of them say it is there (I) might as well use it. I am sure if these guys looked around their home town they could find someone dealing heroin and since it is there might as well be a junkie. Honestly and this goes for most of the in game aids, I just don't get it, if thats the type of driving being looked for then why buy the "real driving simulator"? To turn around use the aids and make the driving more artificial seems to be actions that are contradictory.
-
I have had some fun with the Lotus one and many thanks to Boston for adding some good motivation. Got out this evening and was able to put some good laps in after realizing I had been running with my TC on :-[ . made it into the top 1900 despite no SRF
And I just saw Dude suggestions for tuning will have to give it a go as I think I am mostly stock.

Since PD left out the DEFAULT button if you alter some cars you have know idea what was stock. Posted are the stock settings for those cars.

The analogy is apt, because too much heroine can kill you just like getting used to SRF in a game and then going out in the real world and trying the same thing, WILL kill you.
For some, it's just so they can keep doing their favorite thing in GT, which is the TT's. If that's your focus, I could see using it or being extremely bored. But, for most of us that's not the case...

had bit of free time to turn a couple of laps get up deal with things sit down turn a few more eventually got my time down to a 1:23.897 on the Lotus seasonal. Wanted to see if I could top my friends list, even the ones using allowed aids while I would use none. Got there at least til someone else knocks me off.

i'll try. I won't use aids either. I just needed a non-srf rabbit to chase, so thanks!

I had a bit of time to run the Lotus Seasonal some more and found a little improvement. I know I left some out there so I want to give it another run although I still can't see myself doing a 23. I ended up using CRANK_U1's tune, but altering the ballast position to -25

Damn Baked, hell of a time!
I was a few tenths off your time a day or so ago. Now I'm really off.
That damn lambo one is driving me nuts. Got gold but not anywhere near the top friends.

Managed to get a little closer last night, but still not quite there.
-
Nice job to both Wiz and Brindle 23.4xx. Don't think I can get down there might try some again just to see if I can get close. I also noticed that 8 of the 28 friends who had tried it had SRF on. And none of the top 4 on my friends list used it.
-
These seasonals simply don't interest me. That said I am not providing any challenge to my friends list I am just running getter done mode for the paint and walking away. It'll likely stay that way with few exceptions until when and if drift seasonals are brought back.
-
they have been hit and miss as far as catching my interest.
-
I don't follow how the displayed friends get picked, so if we go back another day and redo the Seasonals, do the friends change as we get better times?
I only do them until I get the cash then run, so I don't know how this works. If I just stay in the test, they don't change.

You mean, the ones that show up as blue snake lines? It loads the bottom 10 for you to race against. Once you beat them (haven't checked since update 1.05 hit) you have to exit event, and go back in and it will load up the next 10. Usually doing that twice gets me racing against my top friends.
-
Thanks! I wasn't aware of that. I figured that they would update, but I didn't know how.

Like I did with the Elise Race Car @ Brands Hatch, I'm going to do all of the above with no ABS. Who's going to join me?
If you haven't tried no ABS in GT6 yet, give it a shot. It's MUCH better than it was in GT5. It's what made that Elise one fun for me. :)

The Miata TT was fairly easy, using a copy of my old real life NC Roadster "tune".
Now the other two, I'm having a hard time with. Got Silver on both, but a gold is out of reach currently, and I think I'm going to need to find a tune or some more skill one. Ran 40-50 laps at Brands, trying all kinds of stuff, and still .4 from gold.
The Tesla one makes me hate having no engine sound, and no gears to change. I have no idea what the car is doing, might as well not have any sound at all. I'm .8 off that one, and got aggravated with it pretty quick.
-
I also have about .8 of a second to lose, so there isn't a chance that I won't use ABS until I beat it first. The Tesla doesn't handle well.
I also chose the NC and it took a while to adjust the car a bit from stock, but not much. The Elise took a while, too, so I am happy that PD finally made some challenges that weren't just cakewalks.
-
Miata one was pretty easy. I also went with the NC '07 and it handled quite well with no ABS. Coming down the hill into that last haripin was a bit tricky, but once I got a decent tune on the car, it settled down nicely. Easy gold.
Clio at Brands was a bit tougher. Mainly due to the fact that a stock tune probably isn't going to cut it. I avoid FF cars in this game as much as possible, so I was quite rusty when it came to tuning the car. Finally settled on using the old GT5 trick of max front ride height/min rear ride height. It seems like it works in GT6 as well. That setting got me going in the right direction, and then once I got the rest tweaked in a bit, it was a fairly easy gold. I think that was my first time ever running no ABS on an FF drivetrain. Not sure if the comfort softs played a role, but I found it quite difficult to get used to. No ABS on FR drivetrains feels more natural to me.
Didn't get around to trying the Tesla @ Tsukuba yet. Not really looking forward to that one.

maybe this is why PD isn't devoting much attention to engine sounds? They know that in the future there won't BE any engine sounds!!!!!!
-
Didn't get around to trying the Tesla @ Tsukuba yet. Not really looking forward to that one.
I can imagine that FF and no ABS would be a challenge there, esp on that first right. It took me a while to get the tune right.
However, after spending a few hours and probably 100 attempts on the Tesla / Tsukuba lap, I am still around .2-.25 of a second short! I tried everything I could think of to tune this thing, but I ain't getting it done. Yes, I know about putting power on when facing straight down the track, but... Someone on my friends list is about 2 seconds faster and unless he is using SRF, I have no idea how he does it.

Maybe try a little traction control and get on the throttle as soon as possible in the turn.
Also, I just read the track is wet. Perhaps try some comfort soft tires. I know they work great on a full wet track compared to sports tires.

I remember following the GT Academy and he was in for sure I thought, then found out he was too young. So yeah he will definitely be a second rounder at the next Academy.

I didn't realise that the track was wet. However, the CS tires does the trick! As soon as I put them on, my time dropped by 1.5 secs or so.
Thanks!

Wish I would've seen that sooner.
I did manage to get the Tesla, and Clio TT's gold, but barely, and no SRF. I had made up my mind, I was going to gold them straight up, or not at all. I did use some TC though.
-
Wow, can't believe the difference Comfort Softs made, on the Tesla TT. Knocked .5 off my SH gold time, in one lap. Switched over to MMX, and golded it there in one lap, and beat my Chrome time. Freaking MMX is always faster than me for some reason. :P

any tuna'ing suggestions on the Clio event?
I have a decent time, but really feel like the car is limited by something not being set up right.
I have a wing... should I take it off? Max it out?
Diff settings may be important. What sort of numbers are you guys throwing at that LSD?
Thanks

I found that 5/30/30 on the LSD worked pretty good for this car. Rotation on or off the gas was good. I also had my ride height at 85 front, 70 rear. The ride height bug is still present, as it was in GT5. My MMX time was better than my Chrome time, with pretty much the same tune(set by memory).
Also, I think I had my TC on 3.
-
I did these over the weekend and the Clio was the most difficult. I had a Johnny Penso tune on it and had to alter it quite a bit to meet spec, LSD you can try 5 to 7/ 17 and up/ 5.

Thanks!!

Cool, now I have a reason to buy a FXX. :)
Ha, ha, I just read car supplied. ^-^
-
that was my first try in the FuXX, it actually seemed ok if you can get slowed in the appropriate places. i will be back at it

The steering feels like there's a marshmellow in the works somewhere. Worst driving "feel" I've noticed in this game. Haven't even gotten silver on this one. :-[
Also, they should change the name of the Matterhorn TT, to Lap Invalidated Raceway. Gold is going to be a SOB, among other choice words I've used already.
Also, also, I've always hated Madrid, but fortunately was able to knock it out, fairly quick. Used power adders, and trans, but all else stock.
-
Got silver in the FXX, but have not attempted any of the others.
This may take a while.
-
No drifting, no sneasonals. :(

Of all the seasonals I've done with now with no ABS, the FXX and the Subaru are by far the toughest ones so far.
The FXX one is going to be EXTREMELY difficult, mainly because I can't adjust brake balance. I'm about .9 away from gold and it's going to be a bitch to find. If I could adjust the BB it'd be doable I think.
The Subaru one is pretty tough too. I'm about .9 away on that one as well, but I think I'll find it easier than the FXX. I avoid the Matterhorn tracks so I don't know them very well.
The BMW @ Madrid was too easy. Gold on 1st lap. :-\
-
Had another quick go with the Subaru before I call it a night and (just barely) got gold.
Chrome, just FYI I happened to notice you had traction control on 5 for this one. Not sure if it was intentional or not. Either way, I bet if you turn it off you'll gold. :)

Yeah, I didn't even try it without TC, just assumed it was a quick accelerator, that would give me trouble. I was so frustrated after bailing on the Subaru one, the FXX didn't get a fair shake, on either account, really.
On a side note: My enthusiasm for this game is at an all time low. With the lack of features, and communication from PD, I'm struggling to even want to keep my log in bonus up. Which for me, is kind of a big deal, and definitely a sign of a loss of interest.
This game could be great, if they would just deliver what they advertised.
-
Last night was the first time I signed in since Sat. Not motivated enough to even bother signing in these days.
I'm with you Chrome, I'm quickly becoming bored with this. PD, Give us something dammit!

What we were promised for GT6
What we got for GT6
Before that we had GT5
Before that GT5p
And yet we made some fun with GT5p. Just think we are being hung up on the shitty shortcomings of PD and still have some good tools to have some more good times with.
I get it I really do being promised so much and the delivery falling short can make it hard to appreciate the good things that are there but if we did it with prologue certainly the tools we have now should be enough to get out there for some shits and giggles.
Hope that made sense to someone other than me.

I don't have a ton of time to play, more or less limited to TuTu - haven't even completed 25% of the offline events yet (still have a few whole sections that are locked). I try to do the seasonals if I can but to me, it seems like if the seasonals are too easy, everyone aces them and is bored (understandable). And if they're too hard, it's too frustrating and thus not worth the effort. Is there no middle ground? Isn't it better to be a challenge, even if you can't (gasp) Gold them?
There has to be an update on the way. There has to be.
-
I seem to have no problem keeping active, and I still have to learn how to drif so that I can finish GT6, but I also understand the effects broken promises and missing updates can take the wind out of players' sails.
It must be getting close to two weeks since I spoke with Taku and had my hopes raised, but still there is no word as to when this will change. I don't get it.

Cannot deny there is fun to be had, especially when running with good friends/racers, AND I really like GT. Just some days I feel "shorted" more than other days..... sorry for any negativity.
@ MGT, if you think Grid2 is worth a shot I will get it, but I didn't get a very good feeling from the demo
-

I'd recommend Shift 2 over Grid 2. Though neither are particularly great.
-
Certainly was not looking for any apologies from anyone, rather I was trying to remind everyone where we started GT5p was so limited and that hardly held us back from having plenty of good times spent on track with friends. And the point is, if we were able to do so much with so little then it must not have required an amazing game but rather amazing people to supply us with so many happy moments. Luckily here in the Tunaverse we are chock full of amazing people.
So as I said no need for apologies. I just wanted to share some thoughts and maybe even if only for a moment to look at GT6 in a different light. PD might be responsible for the software, however flawed each edition is and Sony, Logitech and Fanatec all supply the hardware. But we breath life into those parts to make it more than just the sum of it's parts. We have always had to do this but we are so damn good that we can.

Grid2 is free with playstation plus right now. I didn't particularly like it but I haven't given it much of a chance. Plus is well worth the money though.

Nosoks, thats the word I was looking for. I just feel "Shorted sometimes"
Not trying to be negative or bring negativity. I know great racing is always available here. And, I greatly appreciate that!

I'm probably in the minority, but I enjoy offline stuff almost as much as the online, so the more content, the better. I'm about 3/4 the way done with GT6 on my other ID, so it's not like I'm not trying to enjoy this game.
Also, this thread has officially been :tunaz fied. :)
-
I feel like GT6 is less than GT5 these days. GT6s physics are better and it feels like a more consistent game. AI is different but really isn't any better. It may actually be more frustrating than GT5. The license tests in GT6 are easier by a long shot than GT5 and GT6 doesn't have nearly as many special events. What happened to the persistent leaderboards of GT5P? 2 week seasonals just aren't long enough.
GT6 was supposed to be designed so it could be easily updated through the life of the game. It has been nearly four months and we haven't had a single significant update since the game came out. This is all part of a pattern of behaviour from PD. They just can't release things in a timely fashion. The new thing is instead of delaying the game, they have just delayed half of the features in the game.
I don't have much time to play online these days so I'm looking for a game that I can start up and quickly have a fun race. Right now there are much better options on the PC.
-
Maybe thats part of why my opinion seems to be different than so many other folks, is because I am almost exclusively online. I have like 320 hours of drive time but until about a week ago I had not even opened the s class license tests. I turn the rig on and room up pretty quickly.
-
@ MGT, if you think Grid2 is worth a shot I will get it, but I didn't get a very good feeling from the demo
Don't pick it up on my account. I haven't run it since GT6 came out.
-
Due to my lengthy attendance at the Saturday Drunk driving I found myself incapacitated on Sunday and unable to make any runs. I shall attempt to correct that tonight. I am especially looking forward to the nightmare FXX. ^-^
-
It will take me a lot more time on track with the FXX. It reminds me of one of the One Make races. It is at Monza with a Ferrari. I attempted to use a stock 458 with sport hard tires and it drove just like this crazy thing.
-
Took me about 40 minutes last night to beat that FXX time trial. Wasn't easy, though I found it very helpful to "feel out" how much you can cut the chicane curbs (a lot as it were).
I haven't played GT6 online...at all, as in never. Life's been a bit busier and when I have had spare time I've spent it working my way through the offline content.
However I have been getting the Wednesday night series bug of late and the brainstorming has begun :D
-
Pretty nice car, as available for this seasonal. Needs lots of room to brake - compared to some race cars.
I think it took me over a half hour to gold too. My first good lap was a good Silver, but I say you have to get a damn fine lap for Gold. I was at the top of my Friends List :)

I've enjoyed this one so far, and got to the top of my FL, but I have not tried the Subaru one yet and the Ferarri FXX one is very annoying so I gave up after only a few attempts :P

I did not attempt the FXX again, but did the Subaru one and put down a better lap on the Concept 1 BMW. (both no SRF)
Got both to the top of FL. Does anyone want to try knock me down a few pegs before it runs out? 8)

I found the FXX TT event much easier and less frustrating than the STI one. However off the top of my head I don't know if I had SRF on or off. I always drive with it off but since it was a "loaner" car I may have forgotten to shut it off. :-\

I think this would be a good time for a lot of people who haven't been doing them, to get on board with the TT's. Let's show them some higher participation numbers with this change. That may solidify the change ???

Took a stab at this new TT on both ID's, and it's definitely easier than the others. Don't really understand why they keep having TT's where they give away the same car, multiple times. Whatever, I'll take it.
Also, I smoked MMX on this one. :laugh

cool! not sure if I'll find time to try again, but it was close to my best possible anyway. I will say that Madrid is one of the tracks I know best for some reason. Not a lot of people spend time to learn it, and I mean REALLY learn it.
thanks for coming out to play! ^-^
-
I stopped by Fuji last night and only managed a couple of green laps the rest were all red. I will be going back for more and see if I can close the gap on that Chrome guy and MasterGT. I don't think I can get to HEMIata who is number one on my friends list with low 1'42.xxx

2 of the 3 of ^these is actually pretty fun. I can't stand electric cars, and no shift transmissions.
MMX just did quick runs to get what paint chips he could, but I spent a little bit of time on the 2 good ones.
Puegeot has SRF forced ON
RX7 has SRF forced OFF
E-Runner has SRF optional.
-
that e-runner at eiger is HAAAAAARRRRD.
put down a good lap and was surprised to see it wasn't gold. worked at it bit by bit and still .2+ short
This one is VERY hard without SRF> I'm going to keep it off, though.

That's really cool. it might have something to do with SRF locked off, or it's just otherwise a really fun combo of car/track??
Either way, the more people you know who do a TT, the more attractive doing it yourself becomes.

My guess as to why everyone is coming out is this...
The new event has a special reward for the top time: the driver’s replay will be uploaded to the official PlayStation YouTube account, broadcast the channel’s 2.3 million subscribers.

true true...
so, because SRF is off, I wonder if I would find some of the top 10 replays worth downloading?
I haven't used a ghost other than my own in Time Trials in quite a while, probably because of the SRF thing.

It is my understanding that most of the guys on top are using the handbrake, so unless you've got some experience using it, I'm not sure how helpful they'll be.

ahh.... hmm. I considered using it for my best lap at Eiger, and did use it once to see how well it helped me, but then I felt bad about it so I kept trying w/o using it and eventually got a "clean" run, as in no tricks applied.
Still barely short of gold, though.
In some cases, such as eiger, I wonder if using it would be considered fair ??? Ideas/suggestions/opinions?

Y'all wouldn't believe how much I use the handbrake on a regular basis. It's a good tool/technique to use on a car that is tight, and doesn't want to turn. You run into that a lot with stock cars, like for TuTu, and while some are adjusting brake bias on track, I consider that tuning, so I use the handbrake instead.
The E-Runner will definitely require some handbrake. My biggest issue with it last night, was slowing down at the right time, which is tricky for me, as I like to use gearing down an assist, and a timing que. Another thing about the E-Runner, is it holds speed, and will kinda act like acceleration mid turn. It's a weird, and aggravating vehicle, but I'll tackle it some more.
Also, I realize y'all are mostly talking about the FT TT, but I thought the handbrake thing applied to the discussion. :)
-
If it's something that is available for everyone to use, I would say it's fair game. No one should feel bad about using it whatsoever.
That said, I probably won't use it myself.
-
I can't handle the handbrake all I manage to do with it is J turns.
-
I can't handle the handbrake all I manage to do with it is J turns.
The handbrake button isn't exactly pressure sensitive like the gas and brake buttons, but it won't lock the wheels right away, if mashed part way, and will definitely add a small amount of rotation. Of course, that rotation amount becomes huge, if the handbrake is held too long. ^-^ :o

Learned a little trick today while browsing GTP...
If you don't want those blue lines, simply sign out from PSN when you are in the TT. You can race your ghost from the current session or you can load your own ghost (if you have one saved) and race against it. When you're done with your session, don't quit the TT. Sign in to PSN again and your best time will still be registered.

Dear E-Runner TT,
Fuck off.

Wiz

I thought I could, but now am unsure. I will continue to push, to find time. Yesterday I spent over a dozen laps thing WTF, then realized I had left TC on 5. That consistently cost me .5 seconds.
-
To be honest, I'm actually enjoying the challenge of it but it's frustrating being so close, lap after lap after lap. I'd guess I've done 40 laps or more in the .1xx to .2xx range. I've been up on my .085 ghost a few time only to screw up the "S" after coming out of the tunnel. :P

I am having a lot more difficulty than that. Right now my fast time is .7 and I only managed one other at .8. It will take me many more laps to find the time I need.
-
Definitely do that hand-brake rotation thingy by not pressing it down fully. It helps both of of the TT's I've gotten back to the top of :P
No shame in it like you said, Wizard. I STRONGLY believe that the person who decided what the gold time on that sould be, used SRF anyways. If you do use the handbrake, it's a lot more "genuine" than that.

Kept trying the eiger seasonal for about 45 mins today, throttle kept giving me issue and because there is no engine noise I would not catch it very quickly. Gonna take pedals off and clean them up to see if that helps any. :-\

Finally got frustrated enough to turn ABS on with the e-runner. No handbrake..... 1:00.777
I'm happy to be done with that one.
Time to get into the 41's with the FT-1.
Haven't even ran a lap yet at London with a Peugeot. Don't think I will. SRF on, no thanks.
Is the Mazda one at SSR5 any fun?

Mazda was "fun" :o I had a lot of trouble getting to gold.... others... apparently not

Lap time of 1:01.063. That TT is proving to be a lot of fun. I can consistently run in the 1:01's but I'm struggling to improve on my best. I'll keep at it though!

Congrats on a top notch time there T.

I ran CS tires on the front, and CM on the rear, left the suspension somewhat neutral, and immediately dropped some time off CS all around. Fun combo, ran several laps. Stopped with a 1:35.0??, and was ranked in the low 500's, I can definitely see me running a 1:34.
SRF is forced ON, for this one BTW. :P

There is a cool thread at the planet that lists paints and the cars you can purchase to get them. Unfortunately matte green is not on the list.

Hey, lookie, a drift evnet. :jimi:
They're both pretty good too, even though HSR isn't my idea of a drift track.
It feels like they tweaked something with the last update. Drifting seems a little more fluid now, instead of the choppy feeling it had before.
Also, I spent a decent amount of time on the FF TT at Eiger, with my other ID. Grabbed a Lupo GTI, and managed to get the time down pretty good.
The Brands Hatch one is fun too.
PD did a good job with the evnets this week. :thumbs up

as time goes by, I think that less and less. It was probably a parent company decision to even have credit micro transactions... Just look at the senna content. A few minutes gets you what would cost dozens of dollars to purchase. I don't think they take it that seriously, and are pushing back against that parent company...

My hatred for Suzuka has multiplied with the bullshit penalties in this seasonal. Apparently PD thinks it's a good idea for the AI to slam into you, then give you a 5 second ramming penalty, repeatedly. Well fuck you, I just won't run the fucking thing.

Yep ZZII is a sweet ride. I picked one up and used it to do the Willow springs 20 minute (or was that 20 laps) run without a pit stop.
-
So with a 200% sign in bonus, Suzuka pays 260k credits. The NSX LM cost 489k credits, plus another 100k or so for mods, makes running that car a no go.
I'm in these for the credits, cause I damn sure don't enjoy racing Suzuka. What I wound up doing, is buying a ZZII for 60k, changed the oil, and bought SS tires, which put me at about 70k credits invested. Ran the race on both ID's with no other credits spent, and was able to easily win both times. Different group of cars in each race, and oddly enough, the one full of Lambos, Paganis, and Mclarens was the easier of the two.
Also, no penalties in either race. :)
-
I had no idea the NSX LM cost so much. The rent is too damn high!
-
Snuck in the top 200 on the Apricot Hill TT. With my own tune to boot. I usually steal a tune from GTP.
Pretty happy with that.
-
Very nice.
Speaking of Apricot Hill, I had an absolute ball with that TT. I did baseline runs in a bone stock S2000 and got within 1 second. Then added some exhaust boltons to get up to 440PP or so and left everything else stock. Drifting through some of those turns was so much fun! hahaha.

In the short-term, that may be the way to go to keep credits flowing. But eventually, you'll want all cars (or most) and the NSX LM is a must-have. So, at least if you were to buy it now for what seems like a bajjillion credits, you'd be using it to run a high paying event that is repeatable... just another perspective. :)

As much as I dislike LMP cars in general I actually found that Toyota Hybrid thing to be a relatively pleasant drive, to the point I ended up spending longer than usual trying to get a halfway decent time after getting gold LOL. I still don't like LMPs though ;D.
-
I had 3 attempts at the Nurb last night. The first two I did not get past the GP track section. On my third I was doing quite well until Klostertal where I found enough grass for a DQ.

So long as you drove it like it was a rental! :D
-
I thought it worth mentioning too with the Toyota Hybrid / La Sarthe seasonal that I was actually quite impressed with the way they have set the "Off Track" penalty / DQ boundaries. They are definitely ever-present but not nearly as harsh as in the past, in fact the amount of curb and run-off they allow you to use actually felt quite fluid and natural to me.
I did stumble over a couple of spots that seemed slightly odd given their proximity to the barriers (as in I clipped the wall but was given an Off Track DQ instead a split second before the contact) but generally I was quite impressed and it made for a much less frustrating TT than expected. Gourd job PD!

Feldynn I believe that Toyota LMP has AWD (electric motors up front) so that may have led to it being easier for you to drive compared to your "average" LMP.

Withe the 200% multiplier, I like the spa event. I need to replenish my coffers.
The event itself is another matter.

I thought the 700PP race would be the usual instance of being able to use a 600-650PP car and still smoking the competition. Gave it a go in my HSV race car, lol. I was actually able to maintain pace with the leader, but winning against Group C and LMP cars was not gonna happen. Hoped my my stock 787B and promptly ran train. :P

I tried the same thing with the R35 TC, but wound up using the Audi AE LMP.
-
Fully modded the R35 TC is a beast of a car that has no problem beating (AI driven) LMPs.
I'm currently still plugging away at the 24hr Nurburgring enduro in GT5 with a maxed out R35 TC. I currently have an 8 lap lead over the 2nd place Audi LMP, with 4 1/2 hrs left :D
-
Yeah, mine wasn't maxed out, and the Audi LMP wasn't that bad. I usually don't get along with those cars to well.

Running a near stock Rocket at Ascari is a freaking blast.
I took a different approach this time, and let MMX go first. This worked out pretty good, as I was originally 3 seconds faster, but then MMX wanted another go. I be damn if he didn't beat my time by 1.7 seconds. >:( This one is pretty fun, and I'll surely revisit it, as I've got a score to settle. :D
I ran my favorite race car, the HSV at RBR, and enjoyed that one as well. Might make for a good TuTu. *hint hint*
I still can't figure out what they did to the drift scoring system, but it has changed for sure. This week's, and the ones 2 weeks ago are different from what it use to be. There must be a really fine line for optimal scoring, as I had numerous attempts score next to nothing, while doing picture perfect drifts. :-\
-
Yep, drifting golds are much harder these days. I gave up after several attempts. I think I ended up just short of silver with the MX-5. :-\
-
Spent some more time on the Ascari TT with the Rocket, and managed to get into the 13's, but I'm still .1 behind MMX. :P

Funny you mention the HSV. That's the exact car I used at RBR as well. Great car, great fit for that track.
For Ascari I used my bone stock Ferrari 288 GTO and had a ball of a time. My love affair with that car continues, it is my precious. :)

I wound up trying the Viper SRT10 '08 '06 stock with an oil change is 541pp. I did two attempts best finish was 3st. I had a few laps @ 2'16.xxx, but I also had a couple of 22's. Just a little smoother and P1 is a slam dunk. Then I will have a look at that Charger I guess.
Also, thankfully the Huayra rabbit doesn't bolt away.
-
I went through and did a few seasonals last night. I used the Caterham for all three adding weight and stripping power for the lower pp while doing the opposite up higher obviously. The highest HP I got to see was 206. No aids not even the ABS. Golded the first two easily while the last one at Bathhurst held me to Bronze in my 4 attempts. May try again today if I get the time.
-
I used the ZZ II at Bathurst, with a Mclaren on my ass the whole time. I think the ZZ was in the 520's on the PP.
-
If you can get consistent 2'16s, you have à chance.
-
^^^Bathurst is a fast track and besides being down on hp the Caterham has horrible aerodynamics. That sounds close to impossible - how close are you coming to a win?
I used (all stock):
'92 NSX Type R on CS @ Silverstone - lot O tail out driving there :P
288 GTO @ Laguna Seca
Aventador w/out oil change at Bathurst - won on the 2nd attempt (had a very inopportune spin on the last lap first attempt)
In my opinion the 288 GTO and Aventador have 2 of the best sounding engines in Gran Turismo 6. Just, so good!

That Eiger rally time trial is tough! I still haven't got a clean run.
Also, some people complain about loud cars. The rally car I picked was notably louder than expected and I had to turn down the speaker volume.
-
added some weight and power to the Cateham and went back and won Bathhurst
-
^very nice!
^^Took me a bit to beat that as well. I used my 80s Audi Quattro rally car and was able to beat the event on my first clean run. First few attempts I kept hitting the left barrier when going down the steep hill on the ridgeline.
-
The Bathurst one is tough using a Viper at slightly more PP than the Charger.
Maybe it needs a better tune.
The Charger still runs nicely!

Thanks and dig the old Audi myself neat choice.

MastrGT, at Bathurst I used an '02 RX7 with around 380hp, otherwise stock. I had thought that traction might be an issue on several sections of the track but it ended up being fine. :)
-
For Bathurst, I used the RX-7 Spirit R FD to get gold, then ran a couple of laps with Elise 111R (more of a handful than the RX-7) to improve the time by a bit.
For Eiger, I just ran with an older Suby rally car at about 470PP, almost stock except adding a mid-range turbo. Got gold on the 2nd lap.
Still have not figured out drifting to get good scores.
-
Yeah, I got my drifting up to 2200 once, but that was it.
-
They reworked the drift scoring as of 2-3 drift trials ago, and it makes no sense at all. While it was flawed before, it seems to be so random now, I almost don't want to fool with them anymore. :(

thought I was drifting once, but it turned out I was crashing (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)

I have tried to drift. I have failed epically.
Do most drifters use the controller like you Chrome? And, what car would you choose for a person who needs drift lessons/first timers. I can't do it with a wheel but may try the sticks. I'm letting free credits go down the drain.
-
So I finally got around to giving the latest round of seasonals a quick "One and Done" before they expired, wall 'o text incoming but the condensed version is: +1 for improving AI but still room for improvement!
The 500 and 550PP ones I did with the old '98 Mercedes SL500 that had just some basic upgrades and was about 15-20PP under spec each time (seemed more than adequate to win without issue). The 600PP one I did with a very slightly upgraded '13 Dodge / SRT Viper (stage 1 weight, shorter fixed trans, racing exhaust was all I think I did to it), didn't have much trouble getting to the front of the pack but I did have to fend off a McLaren F1 for 2-3 laps.
Generally I like the improvement in the AI, it seems to battle more than it used to and be a bit more fun to race with but I'm not sure I really like the way the rubber-band / keep up thing works. Don't get me wrong I like that it provides a bit more of a challenge but it feels very artificial and unrealistic, case in point was the 600PP seasonal I did with the Viper. Took 1st place pretty easily midway through lap 2 making up a 30 second or so deficit, after taking the front spot the AI suddenly becomes "good" and puts up a fight so the last 2 and a half laps are much more intense but it felt like a fake battle challenge.
The problem is still the "Chase the rabbit" beginning to each race, while the AI generally seems better and the rubber band stops you getting too far ahead like before having the front running AI suddenly start keeping up with you after you're apparently running 10-20 seconds a lap faster than they are for the first half a race destroys that sense of immersion.
Given the improvements to the AI I think a better solution would be to have all the cars much closer together (as in all cars on / very close to the main straight) when starting the race and hit the gas as soon as the car in 1st crosses the line to make it much more like a realistic rolling start, with the cars closer together from the get go I think it would feel like a much more fluid and dynamic challenge (and a lot less fake, even with the AI getting a boost to keep up when you pass them).
-
I'm really interested in how to just get the Coffee Cup series finished, in GT6.
After that, the Seasons would be gravy.

I'll work on putting something together, and try not to sound like an idiot. It may take a while. :laugh

I've looked at a few other DT participants, and see a pretty good mix of wheel and stick users.
I think something in the 350-450hp range is a good place to start, but really you can go much lower, and still drift quite well, it's just more work to maintain it. As far as anything else, setup wise, it's much of the same characteristics you'd want in a race car. Well balanced, and predictable. I've commonly used cars that I've raced, to drift with, and change nothing but the tires.
Edit: Try the Chevy IROC Concept, with just a few bolt ons, and CH tires. That is one of the smoothest, and easily drifted cars I've used in this game.

now that seems like a very good idea for mitigating the various factors that make the races less fun for some. the AI isn't good enough to not have a rolling start and still provide a challenge to get 1st by the end of the final lap (with similar cars, that is). So, this might be the best way??

I've tried them and at this point in time I do not have enough interest to bother much more with them. However if I were to attempt to gold them all I would be spending a lot of time on them and watching some youboob gold videos.

The biggest issue I have with "chasing the rabbit" for events (and this holds true for GT5 as well) is that the PP level of the field varies too much. I would like to have a fairly close race with all the cars in the event, but you need to line up your PP level with the 2-3 cars up front. That means you're not even racing the other cars - they're really just course obstacles and it takes away a lot of enjoyment. It was particularly bad in GT5 enduros. Why the heck did the computer stick R32 Touring cars in a race with LMP race cars?!

that Senna TT was a bit of a bear
:stoopid:
I don't like those kinds of cars anyway, they're just too damn touchy, and fast. I'm within a second of silver after 3-4 laps. I just don't care enough to try for gold. Probably can't get it anyway. :P
On another note I haven't been able to articulate what I want to say about the drift trials yet.
All I can determine about the optimal scoring zone is, it's very, very narrow. Speed and angle still seem to not factor into the score, unless you get really sideways, which makes the score stop all together. Extreme angle is very maintainable, but the game thinks you're about to spin out, so no score.
The 1th sector at Brands I'm getting scores from 700+ to 4000+ with runs that look, and feel near identical. The scoring is just all over the place.
Also, the Aston Martin VGT is eligible for the DT at Tsukuba, so I used it. Even with the non-adjustable LSD, and no torque splitter, it was a drifting machine.

I think I read at the PD site that drift scoring involves also hitting the proper apex.
an excerpt: Distance from the Racing Line. You will be judged according to how far you strayed from the ideal racing line for cars which grip the track normally. The farther you are away from the racing line, the more points you will lose.
It will not let me post complete link. Go here http://www.gran-turismo.com/us/gt6/manual/ (http://www.gran-turismo.com/us/gt6/manual/)

I like your vehicle of choice @ Tsukuba and got it to a 1'04.817 :)

Yeah, they've had that same description since GT5, problem was, it was never true. I think since they reworked it, it may be getting closer to that though. The problem, like stated above, is the narrow score zone, which seems to be the width of the blue lines you see in TT's. (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)
Yeah, I seen the Range Rover in my eligible cars list for the Tsukuba TT, and figured why not. That sucker was bad pushy, but fast enough for gold. :)
-
Had to pass on the Senna one. I'm not spending 3 million for a car I'll never use.
Tsukuba, I started in an MR2. I just spun off the track. Switched to the old Peugeot 205 AWD and got the gold. That is one fun little car.

this^ You don't even have to gold. I only managed silver and that was enough for free cars. To be honest I think all you have to do is run a clean lap to receive the car.
Also, they pay a ton of money.
-
If you complete the Senna challenge you are awarded 1 kart and 2 race cars, one being the Lotus F1 car. And if you gold everything while maintaining a 200% bonus multiplier you get 9,000,000 credits. Definitely worth 1 1/2 hrs of time IMO.

I won the 600PP one the other day with the Vauxhall Astra DTM car (I think my lap was 6'47.xxx or nearish), I tried it a few times before I got the win and I think the trick is to cycle the race until you get the right opponents. The times when I came in 3rd or 4th I remember seeing a Ford GT LM car in one of the spots ahead of my after the race but when I won it the car I passed for 1st was the Chevrolet Camaro LM Car (the older one), so it's probably a case of PD's stupid "Chase the rabbit" format and some quick cars at the front.
-
Dude & Baked: so in other words you detuned those race cars big time eh?
In both of my losses I beleive the winning car was a Oreca Viper. My cars used were the BMW M3 race car (575PP) and realizing I needed something faster, the C5-R LM detuned to 600PP. Guess I'll try cycling.

I should add too that I didn't specifically cycle the race to get an easy field of opponents, tried it first with the BMW Vision GT car since I was in it at the time and couldn't get higher than 3rd after a few attempts though I did notice the Ford GT and something else ahead by a good ways. Didn't feel all that comfortable in the BMW so I hopped out to change cars, either got lucky with a better field or maybe a fast car wrecked early and got caught in traffic which allowed the Camaro to get to stay at the front until I caught it.
-
Yep dialed it way back to like 56% power but the in car and the way it drives has made it one of my favorite big guns type cars.

using the McLaren F1 race car was hit and miss for the win, Toyota new hybrid thing gets the job done, first time, every time

I tried the Mclaren F1 and managed 3rd. I found a tune for it today and I'm going to try it again tonight.

I just spent some fun time at Spa with the Lotus. Got to the top of my FL, though I"m sure some absent names could best me if they gave it a whirl (haha turbo-lag joke.)
One day left!

Very nice!
BTW I find it very humorous that the Lotus F1 car is ineligible for it's own time trial event if you simple change the oil.

It goes over the pp limit. You need to add ballast.

I used MotorCity Hammy's tune (thanks Dude, for telling me about him.) and tweaked it only a little. He has 16kg of ballast at the 10 position. Helps with wheelspin and lets you keep that oilchange power.

There's not much time left in the TT, but the OP of this thread has at least 4 good tunes linked.

I know you can still do it. I just find that fact funny. I just restricted the hp.

And what's more annoying, is because it comes at a higher PP, if you used the eligible cars button, it wouldn't show up. I knew I had the car though.
The eligible car button needs it's filter tweaked.
-
That is an annoyance. Bugs me a lot when it won't show cars b/c of their current tire type. I usually just remove the filters and view "all".

So I ran this Nurb race about 7-8 more times, maybe more in the HSV, and I believe a win is doable, but it's going to have to be a near flawless race, and the finish will be tight.
The group I had this time, was mostly GT500 cars, a couple R8 GT3s, R34 TC, Camaro LM, and the rabbit was the Oreca Viper.
I was taking 3th before the Carousel on good runs, and getting within 3 seconds of the leader, at the end of the long straight. Never could get close enough to draft him on the straight. Then I noticed, the better my lap times got, the better his lap time would be. He went from running 7:36-37s, to 33s. No matter how much I improved, he did as well. I was starting to get frustrated, and after seeing the rabbit get faster, I called it, before I started throwing stuff. (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)
Other than the rabbit frustration, it's a hell of a fun race.

I took the Mclaren F1 out for another attempt on Monday and only managed a P2. The rabbit was the Zonda LM and I only missed him by 1.5 seconds at the finish.

I used the 787 Stealth and got 1st every time (6 races ) except when the Zonda was on the grid, could only manage P2.

One day left!
I ran a few laps and improved by a couple of seconds, but i'm still way off the pace. That is a very nice time EX. You do need a few more tenths to get HEMIata though. :) You two are very close on times, you should think about adding him as a friend. He and some others do a lot of GT 300/500 running.

I may do that! Thanks for the suggestion.
I was mainly trying to beat the two ladies at the top of my list, one of which you beat. They are both a little "snooty" about their skills at spa, and so I wanted to show them I can hold my own there too ;) I used to race with them but their etiquette is lacking in some areas, so now I mostly just use them as rivals to do Time Trials against.
You beat one of them with your time, so it was pretty good too!
-
Seasonal action is exciting. ^-^
-
Dude, you put a great time down on that 600pp time trial. It was hard to beat! I'm still chasing TCmix for the top of my FL, and it's really aggrevating because there are laps when by the time I go under the bridge at Laguna Seca, I can be around .5 seconds ahead and then one corner screws it up.
I'm using a variation of MC Hammy's tune for this car and this track.

I got to 1'17.5xx last night. I'm shooting for something in the 16's to be satisfied. I have been switching tunes (LLOYDZ / MINI_STIGGY / WEIDER) and don't recall which one I set with, but I do like this trans setup (http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/600pp-gt500-super-lap-mazda-raceway-laguna-seca.315372/page-12#post-9992257).
Your tune is good, just set the rear aero to 500 and use this gearbox: final gear to 3000, top speed minimum, 1st and 2nd gear all to the left, don't tweak the 3rd, 5th and 6th all to the right, tweak 4th in order to make an imaginary diagonal line from 3rd to 6th, set final gear to 2500 or 2600 (at your will), this is what I'm using so far.

I prefer Matterhorn to Latuna Seca and never have been a huge fan of the GT500 cars. But I did reach my target at Matterhorn tonight so maybe I will go back to Latuna and check it out again.

Thanks. Unfortunately, I think my opp;ortunity to improve my time has passed... oh well!
-
I'm stupid... that time trial was still up for another week. I did get time to improve again and beat TC's and your new time, which was really impressive BTW :D
just barely got baked beat on the Matterhorn too. I used the ZZII because he did, and it was nice not using the same car everyone else used.
-
I'm not a huge fan of the GT500 cars either. I mean they're nice and all but nothing I want to spend my money on. So I used the HSV GT3 with a stock tune (other than transmission). Seems like the perfect car for that event.
Matterhorn seemed a bit tough with those SH tires. I used the fat pig of an Aventador :P

Yeah, after I blowed through the first two turns I came to, twice, I said to hell with that one. 600pp on SH tires is just ridiculous.

I thought the tire grade was a little lean for the PP numbers.
I opted for the rocket. I thought that going lighter would be better than trying to move and slow a heavy car. Managed gold after several BAD laps. Glad that one is over.
Seems the HSV is the go to car in the other event. I have tried several GT500 cars but I couldn't touch my HSV times.

Yeah it wasn't easy. I picked the Lambo b/c of it's AWD system. Still, one hell of a squirrely car under acceleration.

Never like running in the Formula GT (simply because I am no good with really fast and high downforce cars), so I am not even sure that it is worth buying the FGT and run it once for credits that does not even cover the cost of the beast. :(

I agree this car is fun for TT's.
If you want a formula car to race online, the F3 senna car is a good one. A detuned and heavier FGT has mixed results, based on drivers in the race.
I think with the faster, crazier cars, it is less possible to "fake" the race driver's reaction times and have the masses drive them reasonably well. More and more, you need to actually have some of that race driver reaction.
-
True, and it's close to impossible to do that without physically getting feedback from the car. I really need that feel - how the chassis is moving around and what the slip angle difference is between the front and rear of the car.

Dude, I was able to get back and spend some more time on the FGT TT thingy last night. I was really wanting to beat TCmix and F1Cheetor, who were both a few seconds ahead of me. I finished around .9 faster than F1 and 1.5 faster than TC :D :D :D
Using MC's tune with small modifications on my part (who knows how much I helped it ??? ) I spent a few hours getting down to a 1:31.9xx and still had spots where I know I can be faster. I tried to remember everything from the ACademy stuff there a year ago, and found tons of time.
I know I could get into top 250 if I kept at it, but probably won't get the time.
Thanks for your encouragement and also, good time by you too!!

That means I was running 8 points down. May have to put a tune on the car meant for that track and add the points back in. I think last night when I hung it up I was the quickest not running ABS.

I took a peek while I at home for lunch today. The quickest no ABS time I noticed was 1'23.5xx I think. I plan on rolling ABS 1 though. :)

Been having trouble with my interwebs, but I think I'm straight now. Wound up buying another router.
Anyway, these TT's are tough. I didn't think I was going to be able to gold the Monza one, but I wanted that Matte White pretty bad. I managed to sqeek a couple golds on both IDs, with the AE LMP car, short shifting like crazy, and running a higher gear than normal, just to keep it reigned in. I have a hell of a time with throttle control on those cars. The X button doesn't give you much to work with, and I'm too settled in on that arrangement to switch. ^-^
Didn't care for either of the DT's, especially the Matterhorn one. With all the variations that track has, they picked the least fun one for drifting. :-\
-
I will be cashing in on those seasonals tonight. I had planned to use the Toyota GT ONE for Monza.

Seems to have worked out well for you...good lap. I grabbed the regular 787 and squeaked by you by about a tenth. The only car on my friends list ahead of us was the Pescarolo hybrid - tguns and MstrGT. Then I grabbed the R8 Race Car '01 and got into second. I think most of those cars are capable of gold without mods, but I got those times with turbos added on. The only mod I do to get these times - other than turbo - is LSD.

I struggled with the Nismo at Indy for a couple of days. My times placed me in worse than 15,000 position. I could not grab that gold. That GT-R and me don't get along too well.
I had an hour after work today to try and improve. I went to GTPlanet first. I grabbed the first tune I found for it. Slapped it on my car and went out on track.
In 2 laps I went from a 15000plus ranking to the 874rd ranking.
Man, I suck giant balls at tuning on my own!!! :-\
-
care to share the link to that tune?
:D
-
it was one of Praiano's tunes. ill copy the link when Im able to.

I saw last night you're on top of my friends list for lap time at Indy. I did my own base tune and was able to get gold, but I might have to re-try with the Praiano tune. He is definitely a great tuner and I have used several of his tunes in the past. His tune for the FGT car makes a huge difference and easily got me gold at the Silverstone challenge a little while back. Using other peoples tunes has taught me a lot about tuning and I'm still not great at it by any means. I have created an online room a couple times with the intent of running some serious laps on a car to do tuning, but usually others enter and we just end up racing. It takes some patience to work out a tune on a car and I am more of a 'go fast right meow' kind of guy.

I gave the Indy another shot last night with a tune to try and get into the 29's. I came up just short, so I may have one more go. :)

You may need to tune it a bit, but the MP4-12C can win the Nurburgring Seasonal.
-
I tried the Rocket a couple times, came in 3th easily. I think with the right rabbits, it'll win.
-
So far I managed a p2 with a '05 Ford GT.
-
My Rocket and the Audi TT got me P1. (4 attempts in the rocket and 2 in the Audi TT)
If the Zonda was in the race, I could not win. Exit out and restart.

I agree, getting slower AI opponents helps a lot. I used the Nissan GT-R Black Edition with Praiano's tune (pre 1.09) and was running pretty close to 7 minute laps, but still finishing 3rd and 4th. I exited and restarted until I had a Buck Special on pole, and easily took 1st place before the straight.
The nice thing is I made almost 2 million in credits in my attempts to get 1st :)

P1 in the '05 Ford GT today. :)

If the Zonda was in the race, I could not win. Exit out and restart.
Yup, I raced a few number of times, each time when the Zonda was in the line up, it finished about 10 secs in front at the end.
Once, I had my X-Bow in front of 3 cars at the back straight (I think it was around the beginning of Tiergarten) and took the lead. However, once out of the draft, my car did not have the proper gear to keep the high speed, and subsequently, got punted off....was I pee'd off. After that race, I could not drive with a cool head and have to quit for the night.
I managed to win with Ferrari 458, X-Bow Street and GT-R Black Edition. Lap times: 7:02, 7:05 and 7:06, respectively. For the GT-R, I used ALB123's tune: http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/a-spec-expert-level-non-racing-car-challenge-n%C3%BCrburgring-nordschleife.318489/page-4#post-10164780 (http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/a-spec-expert-level-non-racing-car-challenge-n%C3%BCrburgring-nordschleife.318489/page-4#post-10164780)
-
With a Zonda and something I don't recognise, a One-77 somethingorother, both starting at the front, I beat it with the MP4, but you may have to work for it.
The Tommykaira ZZII '00 will also beat them.
-
Ran the Nurb one yesterday with the ZZII, and the rabbit was the Lambo Mercisomething. The lap time was almost a minute slower than when running the Rocket, but I still managed to win. I was door to door with the Lambo, all the way down the long straight, and up to the last set of esses. I was on the ragged edge. (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)
-
Ferrari 458 worked for me also. Although I did have the Buick in P1 at the start.

That Lambo has legs. ^-^
-
I had a few seconds lead going down the long straight and the AI car was keeping pace with mine. Then, as if it got a long shot of NOS, it zoomed up to be just behind me, then kept pace again.
I really hope GT7 has better AI capabilities because these guys are hopeless.

I actually used that tune as well, mostly because MotorCity Hammy did not have one up (yet).
P's tune is extremely agile and rotates very well. Perhaps too well. You may want to "normalize" his tune by taking out a little of the extreme-ness of the balance...
With his tune, simply brake ahead of corner, turn in, let the natural rotation work for a period of time, giving it little to no gas, wait for car to point towards exit, THEN gas. Unneeded inputs will really upset his car's setup, FWIW

Wow, the McLaren MP4-12C is a beast for Nürburgring Nordschleife. I finally managed to get a sub-7 minutes lap time, and that was with a couple of minor mistakes plus getting held up by the Alfa TZ3. It was the first time I have driven the McL. (Never really like the look of the car, I thought that the modern McL are too sterile in their designs....that's the reason why it has taken me so long to get the car. But man, what a car.)

James May once said in an episode of Top Gear that the British should have carpet bombed the nurburgring during "the war". I'm glad they didn't :D
-
Soks, that gives me an idea. I have a Honda Insight tuned for the Nurb 24 min race, that I could just about win with. I may try it on this seasonal, just to see if the rabbits slow down enough to catch them.
-
Insight was a no go, with the couple different groups I tried. Still managed a solid 9rd place, with it at 452pp.
-
tried the willow spring drift event with a target of 10,000 points got to 9902. close enough for now.

Tried to beat the Nurburgring race with a stock Mustang Boss. Aston Martin One-77 was on pole, so that didn't work. Finished 3rd with a low 7's time. This gave me the opportunity to notice another flaw - the 6th gear of the Boss is ridiculously tall. Once you shift out of 5th gear at 160 mph forget it...you're not going to accelerate anymore.
Switched over to a stock 430 Scuderia and won (LP640 on pole) with a time just a bit quicker than the Boss. 7:03.xxx IIRC. The really baffling thing was, when the race results were shown, my time, as well as every other car's times, was wrong. It had my winning time listed as 8:03.xxx. ???
Anyone else experience this glitch?

I have done about 10 runs and it always shows an incorrect time around 8:03 in the standings, my best time as I crossed the finish line was 6:59.8xx in the ZZII.

Your lap time is shown first, then total race time. It takes roughly a minute at the beginning of the event for your car to cross the Start line.

Gold and go is right for the Suzuka race.
Not gonna hang around this event trying to beat your times in this POS.
Sierra race is fun and frustrating at the same time. I've been trying little shit box cars that I can barely get the gold in. Time to upgrade cars choices and give it a go.
Also, make sure you check your tire grade. I ran several laps on comfort hards not knowing it. I suddenly went full retard. Why can't I stay on track? DUH! It will default you to the lowest grade of tire if you do not own the proper set.

I did a few clean laps at Suzuka with only an oil change. I then went to Sierra with a Shelby Series One as suggested by http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/2-wheel-drive-non-racing-car-super-lap-circuito-de-la-sierra.318808/page-2#post-10178904.

I ran the Sierra TT in a Clio. Thing was really loose, so I played it safe, and managed to squeek a gold in there. MMX tried to hit it hard in the BMW Concept 135(?), and kept going red. Gave that a break, and ran some fun races at TOC. The wife is working tonight, so I'll try the TT again.
The Nurb DT is fun, great sections for it. Hit that last sector fast, so you have the momentum to maintain the drift down the straight, between the two turns.
The Sierra DT is tough to score on, but gold is easy.

Drifting is too hard for me, but who can do it.
I was doing Sierra TT again last night...5 sec up on my best, when my wife walks in, "oh... its beautiful, where is that?"......BANG!!!!!! wall >:( (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)
-
(http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif) soks, I know the feeling.
It only took me two attempts to gold it with the Clio, but then I try it with the BMW Concept Tii, and probably restarted 30 times, before I got it.
-
I have logged almost 500 miles trying the Sierra event.
The BMW 135 got me the original gold, but I felt I was leaving a ton of time out there. Tried a tricked out Miata. No good. To slow down those long sections. And, the BRZ felt slow out of the corners and a bit slippery when pushed. Failed epically with that one.
However, I found a little gem in the Mazda dealership today. The '03 Kusabi concept. FWD but weighs very little. I managed to destroy my original time with it. It can't keep up with a well driven GSX-R, the go to car for this race it seems. But, fun little car!

I seen that quick time Boston. Nice job man. :)

I spent about 2 1/2 hours Friday night doing the Sierra seasonal. So freaking annoying to go 8 minutes deep then hit a wall >:( However, I feel like the work paid off b/c my time, at the time, was good enough for 3rd on my friends list.
And I clocked that time using a stock Ferrari Daytona detuned to 500PP (it's just over the limit intially - like 503PP). Here's to the 70s whoop whoop! :D
I think I want to go back and give it a go with some more modern hardware with maybe a tuned suspension and transmission.
-
So freaking annoying to go 8 minutes deep then hit a wall >:(.
This is probably why I won't bother trying too hard for Gold or even posting a time on this seasonal, I've only tried the track a few times and while it's a really nice track I don't think it makes a good TT track with the penalties on like they are. Much the same as the full Nurburgring, great track too but both are long for TTs with penalties for my taste.

C'mon Feldynn jump in the Miura or the M3 CSL and run a good quick lap that will be good enough for gold it does not take a brilliant lap to gold it.

I'll give it another shot this week Baked :), first attempt (ever on the track) was with a fat Rocket which actually did really well but I didn't have the patience at the time to keep DQing every 2-5 minutes into the lap from silly mistakes or lack of track knowledge.
Probably what I should do is actually check out that Sierra Rally special event thing, I've not even looked at that since it was released so that may actually help.

Probably what I should do is actually check out that Sierra Rally special event thing, I've not even looked at that since it was released so that may actually help.

I stopped at the Fiat because of just that. I too am stuck on the TT about 5 minutes in. I am improving though, over the weekend I was only managing 2 minutes before acquiring a red time. (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)

I spent an hour yesterday,in a poorly tuned RUF 3400S, trying to improve on my time.
I think I finally found a RWD car that I can get around this track with relative ease. I just gotta slap a better tune on it. I was way up on my time (2 plus seconds) entering the final section only to have a complete brain fart. I smacked the wall at pit entrance. Lap invalid! FUCK!!!! 200 yards from the finish and I would have had it.
Good luck guys. Keep it up.
PS: Feldynn, definitely do the Sierra rally thingy. It's a great way to get to know the track in a slow car, a med speed car and a fast car. Fiat, VW, and Ferarri respectively. Trying over and over again to get the gold in these events made me learn the track at varying speeds.
-
I feel like a well tuned FD RX7 can probably get some pretty impressive times at Sierra.

Heh yeah ain't that the truth! To be fair it wasn't as bad as I'd expected with the Fiat, I guess because of the slow speed, but even in the Scirocco I was reminded in a hurry how ridiculously terrible the AI is in this game sometimes. I can imagine how much "fun" it'll be in the fastest car with the AI swerving all over the road, braking at weird points on or for no reason during corners. cutting in front of you at the last second and mashing the brakes and all the other good stuff they do!
On the bright side running some laps with the Fiat and VW should help with the Seasonal too once I get around to trying that again :).
-
The RUF 3400S was magic. Finally got under the 9:30 mark. 9:29.XXX. Beat my old time by 3 seconds.
Wolf, I think an RX7 might do well here also.

I managed to get the VW through Sierra with only a single wall hump. Next will be the Ferrari then back to this seasonal. ^-^

Nice time Boston! And yes, the RX7 does do well there - shaved a 1/2 second off my personal best (with the GSXR-4) with an FD last night...now just about half a second behind Enyo_Grilled. I gave my RX7 stage 3 weight reduction, customized transmission and a rear wing. So about 345 hp and 1050 kg. And if I actually learn the last 25% of the course better the RX7 is probably capable dropping at least another 5 seconds.
The GSRX-R is still faster through turns, but not by much...and above 120 mph the RX7 pulls hard on that Suzuki.

I managed to get the VW through Sierra with only a single wall hump. Next will be the Ferrari then back to this seasonal. ^-^
I tried the Ferrari event last night and was pleasantly surprised, I usually have the worst luck with stock mid-engine cars but I managed to snag the gold score on the second completed run and without too many failed runs either! Partly I think that was due to our old friend Skid Recovery Force being stuck on though :(.
Anyways, I then proceeded to the Seasonal race and am now hitting the 3 minute wall, repeatedly, with my face.. over, and over >:( haha. Probably be ok once I settle into a car and try not to push it too much though, more face on wall action later :lolz

Also, if you'll notice, they staggered the tires on that car. SM fronts, SS rears. That helps a bunch too.

Boston, did you drop me from your PSN friends list? I knew I had you on my friend's list last month when I tried to join in on some Saturday night drunk racing, but now you're nowhere to be found on my Sierra Time Trial leaderboard. And after not seeing your name there I looked at my friend's list...and you're not there :(
Just for kicks I took a Ferrari FXX out around Sierra on RM tires...holy fuck nuts I forgot how fast that car is. (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif) I had 2 crashes but stock I think that car's capable of an 8:15ish time.

I think it's PSN problems as I've had this happen to me with several friends on my list. Next time you log in he will probably show up on the list again.

I had the Ferrari Sierra run in the bag then managed to choke at an S bend before some bridge just a minute or so from the finish. AAARRRGGGGG!

2-Wheel Drive Non-Racing Car Super Lap: Circuito de la Sierra
I only drove on the Sierra circuit twice before this seasonal with the Abath. To go through the circuit with a more powerful car, and ran off-track was pure frustration. You probably know this trick already... Because of the length of the circuit, I found that it was best to set a banker lap with no incidents to secure the Silver trophy, then use the little arrow on the map to figure out how much further you need to stay in front in order to get gold. Gold with Lotus Elise 111R, then improved time with Mazda RX-7 Spirit R Type A (FD). Both cars have additional downforce.
A-spec Expert Level Ferrari Challenge: Ascari Full Track
At one point, Ascari was one of my most disliked track... Now I find that Ascari is a lot of fun. For this time trial, I have tried the following in "almost stock" form (SS Tires with no oil change. No other add-on parts):
Enzo: Barely using 1/2 the gears. Understeer quite a bit. Likely need to brake earlier into the corners
F40: Too tired in the day, could not finish a lap in stock form. Used a tuned version instead
F430: Not too bad for grinding credits
GTO: Exciting car to chase and be chased
365: Got rammed hard by the Enzo before the first "gentle" right at the back straight
430 Scuderia: 2nd best car for grinding credits
458: Best car for grinding credits. Can really throw the car around the track
512: A bit hairy, got hunted down by the Enzo. Once got rammed by the Enzo into the wall just before the kink at pit exit. The car is still possible for a win
599: Too bloody heavy. Have to brake a lot earlier to make the corners (Last car I tried)
-
I might be in the minority, but I like Sierra, and even though I don't play this game a lot, I turn a lap or two there every time I do play.
I like Ascari as well, and have run that race a few times. My favorite weapon of choice being a race prepped California. I thought I had it maxed out, but it's still stock weight.

Don't get me wrong, as much as I've grumbled about the Sierra time trial recently I do really like the track itself too :). I just dislike doing TimeTrials on it due to the length of 1 lap, same goes for the Nordshcleif / full Nurb tracks as they are great tracks too but I find their length equally frustrating when it comes to TTing :).

I did that Sierra TT so many times that I was a master of the first half of the track...nobody on the friends list was ahead of me there...I'm hoping to be able to see Boston's line if the network fixes itself :P

Dammit, I knew it was Dawson. I just couldn't remember the numbers. I'll send another FR out today.
Thanks.

Sage advice indeed, Dude! I gave it another shot late last night and, after a fair amount of DQing, I finally managed another clean lap and put down a 9:51.7xx for the gold!! My car of choice was a slightly tuned '88 Countach, definitely has more to give than the time I put up but I won't be trying again this time around :D.
-
Way to hang in there Feldynn!
-
:stoopid:
And in the Countach no less. Nice one Feldynn.
-
Gonna be sad to see the Sierra TT go bye-bye. Though, Im about out of every 2WD, non race car options in my garage. ;D
I have tried to beat my RUFs time in just about everything allowed. At lunch I ran the Toyota FT '09 concept car (the one you can tune) WOW. Went from a 9:29.482 to a 9:25.847 in three attempts.
Still cant beat the suzuki though.

I actually enjoyed running the FF Bathurst one, only scored a 2:25.0xx I think last night with the Mazda Atenza. Far from the perfect car but was at least good enough for gold :), I think I'll likely try that again with something equally unexpected and see if I can get any better.

I am trying to get the SHO around Mt. PainInTheRama. Currently stuck at 2'27.xxx. It goes in a straight line fantastic, turning is not on the menu though.
-
I haven't tried the SHO yet in GT6 I don't think, but as a general rule for FF cars I've found these settings to be useful..
Suspension:
Camber Front: 1.5 Rear: 3.5
Toe Front: 0.00 Rear: -0.25
LSD
Initial: 6
Accel.: 24
Decel.: 12
That can usually help with the turning somewhat, no guarantee though :D.

I'll give those settings a go. I think the main issue with the SHO is 400 horsepower to the front wheels and trying steer with them too just is too much to ask.
Also, this track has very, very strict boundaries.

I'm lazy about returning xmb messages sometimes... so because I'm already typing I'll give a bug thumbs up to Dude for the .529 lead in that Redbull Standard time trial at Suzuka.
Well done!
Also, a guy named EasyIn who races in GT Saturdays sometimes, got one of the top spots against the rest of my friends in that Sierra time trial by at least 20 seconds. WOW, there was a little movie icon next to his name so he must have been in the top 10 at some point.

Like Baked, I also only really like the BMW Vision GT car though after watching the video for the Toyota FT-1 VGT (interesting video about them making a concept race car version of the FT-1 concept car) I'm actually thinking that might be another one I like. At least it makes sense to me as a concept and design, the other ones though have all been shipped off to the Graveyard though with the X2014 cars to gather dust ;D.
Also, bah humbug!

It's the AWD system trying to handle a massive amount of power. I like the Mitsu VGT car for it's driving, not looks. For the Scoobie VGT, try laying of the throttle a little exiting corners. You're trying to put too much power down and the diff has to do some juggling of horses. That is what causes the understeer IME. Could it be tuned out? Sure. Do I fault them for producing a concept car that is not perfect in handling? Not in the least.
-
I did some running in the World 2 lap Laguna Seca (oh, ok, Mazda Raceway) Quick Match event last night and it wasn't half bad. It is only 2 laps, the penalty is on strong and the payout is very good. It seems the start interval varies, for me it was about a minute and a half. It places you randomly in a start position, so no Q'ing. Even if I started at the back, because of the penalty system it was pretty easy to get passed the jackholes. Then no matter where I finished I was earning 60 to 100K.
I used the Vette by the way. :)

You can't tune it out. The gasoline engine only powers the front wheels. The rear wheels are powered by electric motors. So it's really not an AWD system trying to handle massive amounts of power. It's a FWD system trying to handle too much power and a RWD system handling it's power just fine. :P
VGTs in general...I think it's some pretty gimmicky BS. I'd much rather prefer R.E.A.L. F'ing cars. I find it shocking that we don't get new cars in DLC like we did in GT5, for free or otherwise. Nonetheless, I'm a fan of the Mercedes, Toyota and BMW VGTs.

Anyone else think that the Subaru VGT car is a big pile of crap? What an understeering son of a bitch hunk of junk that car is. Seriously, that's what the Subaru gurus came up with? Even their imaginary cars have inferior AWD systems to the 7 year old Mitsubishi Evo X.
It's the AWD system trying to handle a massive amount of power. I like the Mitsu VGT car for it's driving, not looks. For the Scoobie VGT, try laying of the throttle a little exiting corners. You're trying to put too much power down and the diff has to do some juggling of horses. That is what causes the understeer IME. Could it be tuned out? Sure. Do I fault them for producing a concept car that is not perfect in handling? Not in the least.
You can't tune it out. The gasoline engine only powers the front wheels. The rear wheels are powered by electric motors. So it's really not an AWD system trying to handle massive amounts of power. It's a FWD system trying to handle too much power and a RWD system handling it's power just fine. :P

You can't tune it out. The gasoline engine only powers the front wheels. The rear wheels are powered by electric motors. So it's really not an AWD system trying to handle massive amounts of power. It's a FWD system trying to handle too much power and a RWD system handling it's power just fine. :P
I stand correct(ed) about the drive train, but the effect is still the same. Too much at the front so you cannot turn and gas at full throttle regardless. What I meant by tune was that something on the car could be changed to alleviate the understeer, whether it be drivetrain, suspension or something else... Unfortunately, because it's a tuneless time trial (TTT) that option is locked out. But bear in mind, that all drivers are experiencing the same problem, so it's something that can be overcome or at least learned from.
FWIW, I didn't find the car all that bad to begin with, so maybe it just comes down to taste like so many things?
-
It's not that the car feels "bad", it's just odd.
I can't imagine a real 4WD car acting like that.
Not really.

The LFA '10 is the shit at RBR. Full weight reduction, then detuned HP to 550pp, everything else stock. Smoked the gold time first lap.
Ran the new Suzuka track for the first time, it's beautiful, but I still hate it. Only ran it on one ID.
Used the old Ferrari 250s for the DTs. Neither car has any low end grunt, gotta keep 'em screamin' to keep 'em sideways. :D

yes. it's in the garage and hardly is ever driven, though. I work remotely from home most of the time. Need to get out and drive more!

Eh, don't make it sound so bad! In the 11 months I've owned her I've put almost 13,000 miles on the Cayman. That's too many miles per year for a Porsche! (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif) If I could work from home that'd around 7,000 fewer miles I'd drive annually.
At least I can dump 5-7,000 miles a year onto the GS-R ;D

Also, for the VGT cars, you just have to make a lap, to get them.

at Nurb GP survival race, if you come in 14st, you don't make any moolah (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)
-
I recommend the Toyota TS030, start the race on inters and make no stops. I came close to running out of fuel,but did not and won by over 50 seconds.
The Matterhorn event is locking up my PS3.
-
It's locking up many, many systems.
servers still suck donkey nads too. I got fed up last night. How can you ever expect to have a decent race when half the field can't see 8-12 of the racers on track? One race, we had 14 on track, and 8 of us had the invisible car issue. It's knucking futts!
-
I popped in the drunk room.. saw everyone on track then, to my dismay, half of them disappeared. Took it as a sign of things to come and bailed, please don't think l was being rude :angel:
-
Do you remember what your room settings were, Boston? It might just be coincidence but we had the same thing happen on Thursday night (though on a smaller scale), if I remember right it was the first time I'd used the "non-fixed host" option in quite a while so I'm wondering if that may be part of what's causing a problem.

Dear PD and Kaz,
Thank you very much for the Christmas gift of new seasonal events. Nothing brings me more joy than logging into a game five days straight in the hopes that I can complete a random drift challenge and technical challenges that are nothing more than memorization of AI patterns that I hate doing just so I can be afforded the possibility of earning credits to buy more cars and stuff to use in races in a game that does nothing to represent real racing aside from having cars and tracks that are seen in real life.
In addition the final weather challenge race is a step above all others in the game. Now not only do we have to chase down a fast car that starts over 20 seconds ahead of us in an insanely few number of laps, that fortunately slows down to allow us to catch up halfway through the race, we finally have an event that makes good use of the variable weather that changes the track from wet to dry to wet to dry over 10 laps and the amazing physics that allow the cars to hydroplane over invisible water sitting on the track.
With this and the exceptional quality of the online system, what more could a person who has loved cars and motorsports their entire life possibly want???
Some say that regardless of the gift it’s the thought that counts. Well all I can say is I'm reading you loud and clear. Keep up the exceptional work and I look forward to all of the additional improvements and changes that will only make the game better and better over time as you have proven to do since the very beginning. GT 6 is the greatest racing game ever. Long live GT 6 and bring on the enhanced and all mighty uber-game, GT 7.
Thank you and Merry Christmas.

Also, for the VGT cars, you just have to make a lap, to get them.
Got 0:45,244, that brings me to rank 9633, and 1 out of 6 in the friends list. I'm sure you guys can do better ;-) Just need to keep that beast on the track. GSA OFF obviously. I had to decrease wheel feedback from 8 to 5.
Had a quick look at the prices, looks like you need the 200% to reach 10 million credits. But that's if you gold everything. I sure can't. I spent half an hour to gold the Chaparral on HSR. I don't know the other tracks enough to reach gold. That's without saying that I wouldn't gold the Jaguar on any track... Anyways, getting Silver is usually easy, and it would bring around 5M at 200%. Not bad.

99% of the time I set up my lounge to race in Public. I also set up my rooms to NON-Fixed Host. When I start the room I have a bunch of friends jump in very quickly. So, I'm not worried about some stranger having control. I had to restart our room once because of the invisibility issues and then when it started happening at the second room I called it a night.
I dunno if it because of more online traffic due to the holidays, the new seasonals with Vision cars or a combo of both. It makes me NOT want to play this!

Haven't ran them all yet, and definitely won't be running Mt Painintheassa, but these are pretty good. I hate Suzuka, but I enjoyed that race. Ran intermediates, for the whole race, pitted at the end of lap 5.
Also, went back and ran the Chapperal TT, since they reworked the handling. I'm right at gold's door step, and of course MMX had no trouble getting gold. That guy burns me up. :laugh
I was not thrilled to see another LMP car, but that LM55 is a pretty sweet ride.
-
+1 on the Mazda.... seems like a good car, worked for the Suzuki survival thing, detuned and some weight
-
the survival on suzuka is next to impossible in almost every car ive tried gets to lap 3 and the cars uncontrollable even on rain tires and also tried on the old sports softs trick from gt5
-
I am waiting for the Notwork to get back up before trying to finish these off.
I never got this far and don't know the conditions, so I can't advise you yet.
-

Josh, try the Honda HSV. Put INTERMEDIATE RAIN tires on BEFORE the start.
I pitted on lap 6. No gas and fresh Intermediate rain tires. Remember to short shift. Prevents a lot of wheel spin and saves the tires. Finished 22 seconds ahead of the next person. One attempt and done.
-
Yeah, if you were able to do the Nurburgring one, this one should be a piece of cake.
I used the Ferrari 330 P4 and the same technique: IM tires (don't make them squeal), stay out for 6 laps, then you can push harder in the second half, if you need to. I came into the pits and was pressing on the gas, so I had no control over the gas or tire change, made a few "mistakes", hit the pit entrance wall, got pushed off the track once and still had a comfortable lead.

ok thanks guys will try that and is the nurburg one still open ?

Drove for the first time in over a month. Literally have not driven sim or in real life since back towards the end of November. Drove a couple of seasonals and I am way out of driving rhythm. Trying to take small steps though maybe I will make it out in the next few weeks. Liked getting back to driving but it felt really weird might take some time. Although that could have been the meds they have me on I took my 4 pills for the night they all have warnings about dizziness and drowsiness then came out and tried to drive so that might be part of my sloppyness issues. Hope everyone had good holidays and are doing well.

Baked back behind the wheel 8) Small steps buddy. glad to see you getting a bit better
-
Thanks Soks in my time off I have given up what I used to almost sustain myself on, Mtn Dew and herb. It has resulted in my losing ten pounds so far but also changing my perspective considering I used to be baked for nearly all of my waking hours.
-
Thanks for the tips y'all.
Chappy - I use a wheel so I didn't have too much of an issue with that. However this thing holds the track better if you're on the "gas" a bit - has to do with the little downforce jet on the top of the car.
Mazda - WAI KANT I PAYNT YOO?? Sweet. May try that for a survival seasonal. I have yet to do either.
Mt. Panarama - Hate the car, love the track. Gold'd after a few tries (had to get used to the ass-tackular handling) and did not break my TV. The key for me was passing the SV in the small switchback. After that I could draft & Pass fairly easily.
Baked - good to see you back! I'll keep good thoughts for you.
Keep it light,

-
Seems like forever since I last did a Seasonal, was sometime last year but probably just early / mid December. My problem is I try to wait til I've got the full log in bonus to do them for maximum cash, but invariably I forget (or just don't bother) to log in consistently enough to get it built up and end up missing the events LOL.

I may put the game back in and do the snow rally. It's been forever since we had one of those.
Over the ruts and through the snow we go,
To the top of the leader board just for show.
Gotta be different from the herd.
What shall I use
A Subie! A Mitsubishi?
Nah, Marios car,
the one with the blown fuse.

im currently sat at rank 237 in the world on the non race car drift trial that took a lot of trial and error in cars had 300 something in the world then tried the tank car and got to 237 highest I've been so far in gt6

Bought the Mitsubishi that I saw near the top of the leader board. Just bought turbo to reach max PP, did not tune anything. TCS OFF, AWD cars like to spin a little. Got gold on my second lap.
Unfortunately, even at 200% the gold reward did not pay for the car.

Right, but now you have one more car in your garage that you don't have to buy again.
Every one makes it that much easier to keep on playing.
-
A lot of cheating going on in the snow rally. Corner cutting galore. What a joke.
No wonder this game is collecting dust, only taken out for these seasonals. That might not even happen now.
2 months Boston. Keep telling yourself, two months. In two months I can kiss PD good fucking bye.
-
I keep on PDI's case about boundary penalties. So far, I have had no affect on them at all.
Regarding snow tracks in particular, I have no idea what PDI's intention is, but players have figured out that, in GT, cars are actually snowmobiles.
-
Right, but now you have one more car in your garage that you don't have to buy again.

Sure.
And I had fun driving it.
I like snow tracks. Maybe it's because I like driving my (real) Impreza on snow ;) Last week we got about 4 inches of snow and I drove to work before the City had time to clean the streets. That was fun. But I prefer pushing to the limit on GT6 where there's no consequence for hitting a wall (except that you lose what could have been a good lap...)
I didn't see much room for corner cutting on this particular event. There's walls all around the track, isn't it ? I'll have a look at the replays of the fastest guys, maybe I'll see what Boston is talking about. Sometimes PD delete lap times when the replays show obvious abuse of the boundaries.
There are many tracks where you can run 200 feet on the grass almost as fast as on the track. The only thing is that your tires feel slippery on the grass (maybe it should be much more slippery ?) and they still feel a little slippery for a few seconds after you're back on track. For the last part (slippery after you get back on track) I'm not even sure if it's real or just my imagination. Any information regarding this ?
Thanks,
Yves

24 Minutes of Daytona!
-
Daytona Seasonal Tips:
- pick a car and test the handling before you start (mine was all over the place)
- staggering tires may help with getting even tire wear
- the lighting is terrible after 4PM
- be careful of environment penalties
- the AI must be taxi drivers, so watch the exits - they can be stacked up 5-6 deep, waiting to pick up passengers
- use the rooftop cam, to get a better view of approaching corners
- you might be able to get finished in 14 laps, but figure on 15
- don't go past 5 laps before pitting - fuel is not likely to be a big problem, tires are (don't light them up, either)
- be careful while entering the pits - you might not be able to change your tires and get gas if you are pressing on the accelerator when the auto-pilot takes over
-
We had different strategies MGT.
I managed gold on the very first attempt. Maybe it was the car, but I found it really, really easy. I never got caught up with the AI or environment restrictions.
I used the Delta wing with RH in front, RM in back. NO, zero, zip, nada, pit stops needed. The tires will last and I ran out of fuel as soon as I crossed the starting line ending the race. Finished a lap + over the nearest competitor.
-
One of these days I am going to have to pick up one of those Delta Wings. While home for lunch today I bought a Merc C9 and threw on a Praiano tune. Fresh from the dealer without an oil change is 691pp. ^-^
-
:stoopid: re: Delta wing, I have one but can't drive the damn thing. Do you have a tune you could share Boston.
I used a stock Bentley, RMs for first stint, RS/RM 2rd stint and softs to finish
Mix and match stint did not work well

I'll send my Delta Wing setup later today. Although, I didn't do to much to it.
It is an odd thing to drive and will take a few laps to start to understand it. Daytona RC is the perfect place.
I ran something similar to this. But, I'll get what I ran out to you soon.
I softened the front springs just a bit.

Tranny set to 211 or 217
RH tires in front, RM in back. They didn't degrade below level 5.
This car goes balls out the entire track. Really fun
The best part-no pit stops.

I'm hoping to give this a run tomorrow... I'll have to buy a Delta Wing for the purpose... been dying to drive it.
Question to people who have used it, would the Delta Wing make for a good TuTu car?
-
Thanks for the tip, Boston!
Under-speced, it won by over three seconds and with a red gascan, and it handled so much better than the first car that I used. This event must have been made with this car in mind because it is the perfect choice. Good call.
-
I'll be buying a Delta wing today. I ran 3 races with the C9 and finished P2 all three times.
-
Dude and sox, I sent the tune I used to your XMB messages.
EX, both versions (2012 & 2013) are 2 million each.
Stepper, I can't speak for anyone else because it was one of those cars I had to buy as soon as my finances permitted. Over a year ago now. I'm used to it. It runs fantastic at the longer fast tracks like Spa, DRC, IRC, Monza, La Sarthe.
I would let a few other people comment on it before making a choice on it.
-
Thanks Boston.
-
:stoopid:
Thank you sir
-
Wow first attempt in Deltawing P1 by 18 seconds and I sat at start finish for 20 so I would not have to do another lap. I don't think there would have been enough fuel to do another lap either.
-
nothing succeeds like
a beakless budgie success Thanks again Boston

Nope.
That was fun for all of 8 minutes before the bastard in the BMW V12 LMR rammed me three times in one lap before turning left into me and taking me out completely. I felt like I was in an open lobby.
:(

:(
The car is down on power and even though I try to move out of the way I too get quite beat up at times. That and this thing can be very touchy at times and places. One place for me is the dog leg after the first international horseshoe.
I so far have managed two wins and both with the Delta. I am going to look for other rides/tunes. I'll let you know if I find anything.

Set trans to 242 or higher. (Remember to use 2nd gear). Pit lap 6 or 7 on first stint, remember to switch to softs on last and trail brake turn one. I actually dropped rear to 5, so I have brakes @ 4/5.

I've been using the Sauber and R18's for the 24 minute race. Ran about 12 times.
Won every race using RM and 1 stop.
I drive like it is the last 24 minutes of the 24 Hour race, taking care of tires and fuel.
I lift early, short shift and run at 3/4 - 7/8 throttle most of the time.
Keep an eye on your gas gauge, using less than 25 litres at each 3 minute mark.
By the time you pit and fill on lap 8, usually 95 to 98 L, you will have enough gas to finish the race.
Don't battle with the AI, use them to your advantage.
The last race I sat at the line for 20 seconds, to run out the clock, 2nd place was 30 seconds back, but I had enough fuel for another lap if needed.
Here's the R18 tune if anyone wants to try it. Nothing special.

Do you race on the Target team? :D

I'm going to try that, Pete, Thanks!
(I was never able to get the delta-wing to feel comfortable, and the Prescolo thingamajig was very tire hungry (though I still won).)

I'm am going to give the Minolta a try tonight.
The Minolta is the easiest win so far. I used Praiano's tune on RM tires. It easily did 1:30's and 1:33's.
http://praianogt6tunes.blogspot.com.br/2014/01/toyota-minolta-88c-v-89.html (http://praianogt6tunes.blogspot.com.br/2014/01/toyota-minolta-88c-v-89.html)
I purchased a new Minolta no oil change. To set the gears use 5.500 final then Praiano's individual gears, then use his 3.000 final.
-
To set the gears use 5.500 final then Praiano's individual gears, then use his 3.000 final.
I've seen this in his tunes before. I am totally confused by what he is doing with it.

This is Praiano's explanation:

For a quick and dirty trans. I set it up a bit simpler by final slider full right, speed slider full left. 1st gear full left, 2nd gear full left, 6th gear full right, 5th gear full right, adjust 3rd and 4th to balance out. If something is way off start fine tweaking. Then lower final to suit top speed for track.

There must have been a glitch in the matrix tonight. I ran the Minolta again tonight, the mileage was 55 from yesterday's DRC Seasonal in which I finished P1 with 840,000k winnings (in garage it dose not show any wins. This is now an ongoing problem by the way). Tonight same result only payout was 420,000k and mileage on car is 0 now. I had no issues with my PS3, as in no crash or anything. I did not attempt to go online. I only ran the Seasonal event with the same car I had yesterday. No alterations (for some reason I did need to change TCS to 0 again tonight and I know I had already done that) Please help.
The PD algorithm has some major borked updates. I don't recall which update altered these things, but I know there are people posting screen shots of endurance races with all kind of wacky finish times compared to position. This has actually happened to me recently in a simple A spec evnet even, just a week ago. I thought that's funky, and sort of moved on and forgot about it. I do believe it is a much bigger problem now.
MGT please help.
I love GT from GT1 to my return at GTprologue, to now. It is easy to console. I will buy a PS4 if these things are worked out. If not I will consult with my friends here and probably wind up PC again.
The above is not a threat as they do not mean anything. I want to race with my friends. Number Uno.

Ran for the first time in weeks and enjoyed the wet seasonal super lap @ Brands Hatch. Ran one of my long time favorites the Amemiya Rx7. Have lovee this car from running the first Tuna Cup in GT300 cars back in GT5.

I ran the Daytona 24 minute race again, in the DeltaWing, and came in 5th, so I have no idea what is going on.
If the payouts have been cut in half, I would be really disappointed.

I ran two races tonight and received proper amount. There are some dum algorithm issues in their endo races though. I ran to grab camera, but I was too late. Basically they eff up because of time and position track I think.
I'll get you a screen shot of finishing positions tomorrow and take a good look at time and positions.
Good times for full pay. I'm not sure what glitch happened the other night, but it was like this car was never driven.

I wonder if the 1/2 credit is related to a disconnection to the server just about the time that you finished the racing and receiving pay-out (the race is still in "buffer" so that you did not get the full race disconnection). The disconnection drop your x200% back to normal.

Possible.
The other thing I wanted to mention, but I kept forgetting. When you look at your car in the Garage where you can see mileage and wins. The mileage will accrue running the Seasonals, but the wins are not scored.
-
Here is a picture of the screwed up track positions and finish times.
this pic is from someone at the planet it just happened to

Thanks for the picture, Dude.
PDI is aware of misplaced finish places, but I will remind them about it again.

Wins should be tracking as long as a loaner car isn’t used:
http://www.gran-turismo.com/us/gt6/manual/#!/myhome/userstatus
No. of Wins
The number of races you have won in Arcade, Career and Open Lobby, and Quick Match modes, as well as in Seasonal Events. Races driven in Courtesy Cars and Loan Cars are also counted (with the exception of one-make races in Open Lobby mode.)

I double checked. I am accruing mileage running seasonals, but the wins are not. I have run a 905B for the last few days. I have won every Daytona 24 minute race with it. It has 0 wins and something north of 400 miles right now.
Go to your garage in the car you just won a seasonal in. Here http://www.gran-turismo.com/us/gt6/manual/#!/myhome/garage 2nd from the bottom on the left, No. of Wins.

Okay so tonight I had a look at these stats before and after a run a Daytona 24. Number of races was unchanged, number wins was unchanged, mileage did accrue, hours did accrue.
Wacky chit. You know what else is wacky was that last race. I used the 905B on RM tires, ran clean quick times for me (1'27 fastest, with a tight grouping in 1'30's. I pitted at the end of lap 7, took on 96 liters of fuel and fresh RM tires. I continued lapping in the '30's until lap 13 and backed off a bit to time the finish at 15 laps. All was awesome until I crossed the finish line one second too early and out of gas right after. I thought it was still a race even though I had lapped the entire field on track except for p2 and he was in my sights just before I went over the line too soon.
So now race time has ended and I need tires and fuel. Fuel is all I am concerned about so I do an 180 and head back up the front straight. Make a u'e and enter pits, only to slowly roll right by my pit wall no crew, no tires and no fuel. Okay, I must have entered the pit too soon. I make a u turn at pit exit and proceed the wrong way up the front straight, again. I make sure I enter the pit proper this time and still only manage a nice slow jaunt through the pits with no fuel or pit crew. (I think they already opened the champaign) All this is happening at 49 mph btw. I am somehow still in the lead and must continue to finish lap 16 at 49 mph. Well that is what I did and the outcome was a p1 with all cars still two laps down except for p2 who was only 1 lap down. My last lap was over 6 minutes.
The stooped is strong young skywalker. LOL
-
Dude, you could have carried on running even out of gas. If P2 crosses the line after 24 minutes, his race is over and cant catch you.
-
Wouldn't the P2 car have had to do another lap with him, though? Seems like it to me.
Dude, I would surmise that PD has additional pit-logic built into the offline mode, and doesn't like us turning around and going backwards to retry?
Something in the way it has to count laps, makes it think you're cheating by what you did. (I woulda tried the same thing)
-
Dude, you could have carried on running even out of gas. If P2 crosses the line after 24 minutes, his race is over and cant catch you.
I did carry on, thus the 6 minute lap. I actually still won that race too.

I get it now. To be honest I thought P2 made it accross the line before time ran out. So I thought I needed a splash and go to catch him. As it was it seems P2 just missed it. :)
-
Nice going on the Seasonals, guys!
Dude got Gold in an Ewok, and nosocks is still over 2 seconds ahead of me at Bathurst!
I'm going to need some time to improve on that one. The GT-R got the job done, yes, but my Z4 handled so much better, for me.

Have not ran the Bathhurst one yet I am not a huge fan of most of the GT3 cars but like the track so maybe that will make up for it.

Had about an hour or so tonight got to try out the Bathhurst seasonal tried the Z4 and then the R8 then went back to the Z4 and started to whittle down my time through driving and tweaking gears a touch. In 35 to 40 minutes of seat time managed to get a 1:59.0xx. Think there is still about .5 of a second or so left in me if I get back out there to try some more. We will have to see if I can find some time over the next week or so to give it another try.

Took about a half an hour before bed and found a 1:58.564 now I am starting to think I might be able to get to a low 58 if stay focused in on this seasonal a bit. Figured I had to improve as nosoks is posting some fast times for these TT's and I want to hang in there with him. He is killing me through the downhill portion of the track still.

Have fun. It was in 20's here today not a good time for the beach. But wanted to let you know this has been a great game of leapfrog, bringing some fun back to seasonals for me.
-
Bathurst for me has some visual issues in the game and in the past has locked my PS3 up. I seem to have corrected the freeze and I will try to get past the blinking shadows.
So I will throw my hat in the ring for this. I will play with some tunes and get some laps in and hopefully I can at least get to a sub 2 minute lap. :)
Cheers!
-
Down to a 2'02.x last night. I only managed a couple of clean laps the rest I was a pinball. I'll try and do a few laps each night.
-
that is a respectable time there Dude, getting anywhere five seconds under a gold medal goal time in these types of time trial seasonals is a respectable time is the way I view it

squeaked a couple hundredths off but have yet to "leap" Baked

I watched the TV coverage of the Bathurst race and I noticed a few things that I would love to see from an on-board camera's POV. All the stuff I saw was from outside of the cars.
Does anyone have a recent video of a real car's lap, with Bathurst's new tarmac?

What a finish, though, eh?

I came across a tune for the BMW that I know could take me sub 2 min. Unfortunately I did not have the patience to do enough red laps to find a green one. I'll have to give it one more go before it's gone tonight.
-
I have not revisited since making it into a 1:57.8xx have to tip my hat to 'soks for his 57.5xx. Thought I had probably maximized my lap time for my skills and was pleased with my time as is.
-
I tried and tried and tried catching Baked and Soks times. I just could not find a solid lap. I'd have you guys in one section, only to blow it in another section. I did manage an under 2 minute time. That made me happy.
Those were some fantastic times and I had a great time trying to best you both. I liked the friendly competition. Look forward to chasing those lines again soon.

Congrats for the <2:00 lap Anything under 2 is motorin'. :stoopid: on the friendly competition part too. After having missed so much time I feel like my desire is renewed in some aspects hoping that feeling sticks around for a while. Did not realize how burned out I really was until I had the forced time off.

These seasonals drop at 7pm my time now, so I gave Suzuka an early go. First I tried the BMW Z4 GT3 1'59.0xx. Then I went for the Toyota TS030 1'51.xxx. The gears are off on my Toyota, I will revisit it again tonight with some better gears.

Tried Toscana with some Impreza WRX I owned. I had difficulties keeping the beast on track, so I looked at the fastest lap replay. The guy used a rear wing, should have thought about it. Bought the same car (a WRX '08 that comes with a rear wing). I added a front spoiler, rally suspension, didn't touch the default 45/55 differential ratio, TCS OFF. Got gold within 5 laps, but still 4-5 seconds behind Baked.
On-screen help says that near 50/50 front/rear differential ratio the car will understeer. Is it true on dirt roads too ? I feel at 50/50 the front wheels pull the car into the turn, like a FF car would do.
It was bed time, but I wanted to give Suzuka a try. Lowered the 2J to 600 PP, got gold on the first green lap. I feel like cheating, everything is way too easy with the 2J. The PP value does not fit the car's performance, it was the same on GT5. Thought they would have fixed it in GT6, but they didn't.
If I get some spare time later this week I'll give Suzuka a try with a more "standard" car.

Well done yvesf,
I love the dirt. You mentioned something that I completely forgot about. I never put on a rallye suspension on the car I tried. I wonder if that would help my times. Thanks.
I like 50/50 weight dist. but I also think it depends a lot on the car. I used the little Puegot 205 turbo (it weighs next to nothing) and put a little more weight up front to help bite into the turns better. Plus, I like the ass end to swing out a little on the dirt.
Don't beat yourself up on using the 2J. Lots of people are using it. If you can afford it, buy the Toyota TS030 Hybrid. I didn't own it until this event. I bought it and within 4 laps I had gold and a pretty good TT time too.
-
Awesome job, I often find some are harder to bank then others.
I want to extend a hand to all those seeking a better time. I do not tune, I drive. (Rather poorly, or mostly tuna, sometimes brilliant) Whatever I drive maximum always and if it is not a stock race, I need a tune.
I really like the tunes that SW_10 shares. Here is a Toyota tune link you do not have to feel dirty about driving. http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/600pp-2wd-racing-car-super-lap-suzuka-circuit-2014.324184/#post-10472280
Also, 1.48.3xx :)
-
Its nothing to really talk about but I dusted off my controller and gave Suzuka a shot. I forgot how much trouble I have driving on racing tires in GT6. Either way it was fun, I think I like Suzuka now it has a rhythm to it that is almost relaxing. I very quickly got a 1:58 with the Z06 RM which is probably not great but considering I have not run a hot lap in months, I figure it was an ok start.
I'll have to see what prototypes I have and see if I'm still even remotely competitive.

Excellent time!

Great time Boston! I will have to put a stint in tomorrow, before joining us drunks, or you drunks, or whatever. :)
-
After two stints on Saturday I finally managed to just better your time. 1'47.77x. It is definitely getting harder and harder to find time on track now. I only left a tenth or two at the hair pin with a small mistake and a small amount at Spoon with some throttle oversteer corrections. I am not as good as you at the final chicane either.
I still believe a 46 is achievable for us both, though I am not sure we can spend the amount of time on track that it would take.
-
Awesome. Just amesome Dude. I'll give it another go on Sunday. That is going to be difficult to top.
-
Regarding Quick Match Events: Some say you can't hook up with friends in these and I say they are wrong. I believe it can be done as it was in GT5p. Just pick the specific QM race, chose a start time and everyone hits the start button at the same time. :)

I am pretty sure timing won't work in GT6 the same way it did in GT5, at least so far it hasn't. However, given enough tries, you can have one person stay in a lobby and everyone try to find the same lobby. That has worked a number of times, but it takes time.. Once in a lobby, you stay there.
Since the game now knows where your friends are, I have requested that PDI add a way to go directly to the same lobby friends are in, the same way you can do that in other parts of the "community" system.
If you want a half-decent challenge for the Seasonal, use the NISMO GT-R LM road car, with tuning. I struggled to get everything right and just barely beat the Gold time by less than half a second. It's a rear-wheel drive car and I would like to also see how a 4WD car performs. I didn't try it first because I thought it might have too much understeer. Am I wrong?

Anyone have advice for the European Hot Hatch race? I haven't tried using anything heavily modified and tuned there, but I'm getting curb stomped using the AWD Golf R set at 449PP.
-
If you find one set of AI is really tough (losing by 10-11 seconds?), then exit and get a different set.
This is what I wrote elsewhere:
"I used the FF Megane RS and you must take care to not lose grip with the front tires. Also, your driving line through the chicane will make a big difference. Brake early, don't lose grip.
So, after doing the FF car, I used the Clio V6 (Lutecia, Japanese version in a European event... just to prove a point) and got a different set of AI cars. The first time through, I lost in 5th place. After a slight change in tune and being more accustomed to the car, I took first with a 5 second lead (8'58.4). Drifted nicely, though."
-
I used the premium MR Clio without any trouble. Toughest races were against the same Clio and the BMW 330
-
I managed it on the first try with a lightly tuned (a few fixed parts and LSD) Audi S3, didn't think I'd catch 1st though as I made a few mistakes and was behind but fortunately he drove straight into the wall at the final hairpin on the last lap and I caught up a good bunch. Kicker was the 1st place car was the BMW 135i Coupe, not really a Hot Hatch in my opinion.
If you're having trouble don't forget you can always cheese it and use something like the Lotus Elise or any car from the appropriate countries at the PP spec, my "Eligible Car" from the Garage offered the TVR V8S and Jaguar XK Luxury cars which are definitely NOT hatchbacks :).
-
Hah, that's funny!
Yeah I've tried several times, with the Megane and Golf R. Lost badly both times, though I thought I was driving better with the Golf (which has a horrible stock AWD system - front wheel spin much?). Guess I'll shuffle till I get a easier AI leader.

If this is anything like the Viper seasonal @Matterhorn prior it is ridiculous and completely lacking logic. It is a high performance sports/supercar on a dry track. Even in stock form it did not have the worst set of sports tires available to them furthermore it is beyond my imagination to think even the biggest dumbass that could afford one of these in real life is going down to his local WalMart to pick up a new set of rubber when the time comes due. So why is PD insistent on that being the case for these events. They want for it to be a bigger challenge then give us something realistic put it on a wet track but to deliberately sabotage the setup of the car is silly to put it politely or downright effin' stupid to be more blunt. The following is a quote from Car and Driver during their test of a then new F40;
" The F40 responds like a race car: directly, instantaneously. The grip in the corners is tenacious—1.01 g, our skidpad test revealed, better than any production car we've ever tested. We pushed harder. It felt like the tires were rolling in foot-deep grooves in the road; there was no sideslip, even at sensational cornering speeds."
This will hardly match any one of our descriptions for driving this car from this seasonal so who at PD has their head so far up their own ass that they cannot see the light and believes this seasonal makes any sense? When they do illogical things such as this, it tarnishes their credibility as providers of a realistic sim experience.
-
Ha! I used that review to pull PDI's chain. I will let you know if I get any feedback from them about the Seasonal.

Found myself a few more tenths on the F40 seasonal I am down to a 1.26.340 and still feel like I made a mistake here and there, In other words still not a "perfect" lap (for me). With enough time and patience I think a very high 25 or a very low 26 will be my best possible. I am still not happy with my gears but so far they have done me well. If I get them sorted it might be the difference I am looking for.

Great time. I think we have one more week with this one, so I plan to give it another session or two.

They did so by laying down a time but your name is conspicuously missing from the times on my friends list. :-\ Come back out and set a new target for me 8)

Sorry, no chance.

I had one more shot at the F40 last night and got down to 1'26.7xx.

well done Dude and Baked. I had a 30 min session the other night but can,t get under my time

I can't even tell you how many laps I did that were ahead of you only to wuss out at the final chicane and come up .020 behind your time. I was ready to call it quits when I halfway nailed one to go sub 27 and that was it for me. 8)

We have been doing a contract for an apartment complex. Two of us are doing exterior windows on 376 two bedroom apts. wife handles downstairs I climb the ladder and do the upstairs or on some I use telescoping poles. The ladder leaves my leg muscles in knots each night, or if I use the poles it leaves my shoulders arms and chest aching either way has left my wrists sore.
Have not revisited the Ape Hill or London seasonal. Told myself I was going to take a day or so off from driving but got out tonight to retry the new Vision GTI seasonal and came up with a 1:24.212. That was not perfect but it was all I had to give for tonight. So who is coming gunning for me? Been enjoying the back and forth and seeing some strong times being laid down by my Tuna Brothers.
-
Um thanks. Good luck with the apartments.

I noticed last time I was on, in the menu for these, where it show requirements, prize credits, and paint prize. If you already have the paint, it'll have a green check by it. If you don't have it, the check is grayed out. Comes in handy if you're just in it for the paint.

I have tried a couple of non-go-to cars for the Nurburgring Seasonal.
I hope to be back for more, but I don't plan on using the TS030.

I will give it a go later today. I plan on trying some ADAC GT3 cars or whatever we have that's close.

Likely won't do the Nudebirdring one have never been a huge fan and the thought of getting six minutes in then dropping a wheel off a getting a red lap makes it less appealing. I have tried it in Corsa and have found I like it better there also.
Did try the Mid Field one and I am not so sure about the advice PD gives in the description. They claim horsepower is important but with it being on sports hards I lean towards lightness to allow me to squeeze a bit more out of the tires. Did it in the GSXR with 224 HP Kept getting low 12's and thought there was a bit more when I checked my setup I realized I was losing power so I stepped out for an oil change when I got in there it said my chassis was needing refreshed so I did both the engine and chassis refresh and got down to a few 1:11.8xx's. Think there might be a few more tenths but not sure if I will get a chance to find them or not.
-
Got to the Mid Field one again for just a bit tonight and chopped another two tenths off so now it is a 1:11.69x. But then I sarted looking at some of the top times in the world those guys are using the steering assist and some are using TC so even though I am just under two seconds off the top times in the world I am fairly satisfied with my efforts.

If for some strange reason I find out I have a very limited time to live I want to run this seasonal over and over. Not because it is a great combo of track, car and spec but rather because each lap feels like it takes a fucking eternity. Making life move slower would be a great thing then but only then. Without the threat of imminent death on my to do list I will not be going back to this event. I did two laps that was nearly too much.

I was sad to see it go, because I've been using it as my bank. The Minolta was the easiest for me. I could lap with it in the high 1'23's to mid '24's if I stayed out of trouble.
I used Praiano's tune (http://praianogt6tunes.blogspot.com.br/2014/01/toyota-minolta-88c-v-89.html).

Others in that thread suggest Chassis Reinforcement and Oil Change used with low turbo. The car is for sure good for a 1'04 in the right hands. :)

Hit my goal with some prodding by Dude both with his driving and with his encouragement not to mention the tune he loaned out. Got down to a 1:04.951. Good enough for a world ranking of 71 or 72 at the time. Thanks Dude this has been fun going back and forth. We need to see some other fast fish get into the fray.

I played GT6 last Friday for about an hour before I was discoed.
I am just bored with it lately. I guess after playing GT games for almost 18 years, it has finally run its course. That and I'm still a little pissed at PD for shafting us on the track creator after all this fucking time. Plus, the miserable server issues that have plagued GT since online started drive me nucking futts.
Miss the friends though. That might keep me going a little bit longer. :-\

1:05.395 or something like that
-
My final time was a 1:04.7xx good enough for third in the US and 67nd in the world. Was fun, now will have to see if the next ones hold some interest for me. Not for sure but I think three Tunas made the top 250 in the world. We're just fast enough to be fun after all.

I took a drive around Silverstone last night. I'll be going back to this again. When I ran it last night I didn't realize my power slider was at 57%.
-
Might we be able to get a few more folks to jump on board for this one over the next two weeks? Have some inter-Tuna battles for best times. It caught my eye last night and I do not even recall what the other events was, need to scroll up to look as it must not have been terribly interesting to me.
-
This event has run before. I think PD has gone here again because the F1 race is @ Silverstone 7/5.
Some tunes from before are linked on this page.

You should give it a go. It's in FGT so lots of downforce, here's a DudeTuna approved Tune (https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/formula-gran-turismo-super-lap-silverstone-grand-prix-circuit.316083/page-11#post-10046725).

The exact same track, same car and same PP was run in 2014-Aug. If you ran that event before, it is just rinse and repeat without even changing the tune. Someone at PD decided to take a day off on cars and tracks combo for a time trial event....He / she probably got pulled in and have to think about the SRT X on Green Hell to torment us.
-
those Tommyhawks need to inserted directly into the ass of the designer... thanks very much
-
well, some concept cars aren't really meant to be driven, and I guess this one fits :-\
It would be nice if all manufacturers release Vision GT cars have taken the hint from BMW and a few others to make very drivable concepts that we can enjoy on the track. Good engineering AND style.
-
Man O man. Is the NoobRing event some kind of sick joke? I tried at least twenty times. The farthest I ever got was to the Foxhole. Looks like I won't be owning an X model Tomahawk.
WhyPD? Why these fucking cars over real ones?
-
Did a 1 lap bronze on the first two SRT evnets. Didn't make it pass the second turn at Nurb, so I said fuck it, and bought the X car. With 48 million credits, 1 million didn't hurt none.
-
Didn't even bother with the Nurb TT in that Tomahawk, shoved the two I did win into the Stockyard thing first chance I had. By far the worst and most ridiculous Vision GT car to date, and that's saying something.

I just can't karma exalt you enough. This BS imaginary car line is too much. WTG Boston at Daytuna Road. It is too responsive for me to enjoy. I watched TRL-Evolution's replay, there is no way I will be doing the bus stop in 5th at well over 200 mph.
Too silly, too silly.
(http://allthingsd.com/files/2012/04/Much_too_silly.jpg)
-
Yeah the Tomahawk X is pretty much beyond drivable in that very few can drive it anywhere near its limits. The base model(s) is not terrible. The race model (GTS-R) at Dayona isn't bad either. I enjoyed my time there. I dug in at the Ring and got 1 clean lap after 2 hours. 4:43. I had to remember not to drive at the car's limits, because I can't. I drove closer to my limits. Brakes stabilize this car a lot, so I had to use brakes whenever the car was getting unstable, and stay the hell away from curbs..the suspension can't handle them. There's no way that car could be raced...anywhere other than a big oval. I miss racing
-
Liking the Silverstone/Formula GT seasonal got a 1:32.3xx think I can be a bit better. Anyone else wanting to come out and play with this one a bit? I am using a tune that Dude passed around at the ToC where we ran FGT's at Indy Road Course and it seems to work pretty well.

Noticed right away when I got on about 9 last night that you were at the top of the times from my friends list. Immediately I thought back to your post here saying you did not think this one was going to be for you but you posted a quick time nice job. It really is a fun challenge but definitely a tough challenge.
-
I didn't own the car. How that one slipped by, I dunno. :-\
I'll give Dudes tune a try and see if I can knock off those 2 seconds you have on me. It's gonna be tough. But, I look forward to the challenge.
Anyone try the 580pp street cars yet? My rocket is getting killed on the long straight but I'm tearing it up in the twisties. Need to tweak the tune and then I think I'll have a good shot at a top position.

If I can get a few things done here this afternoon I may have an hour or so to try it out. 580 points not sure what car to use though. Maybe the 111R or a S2000 tuner car something nimble but with a bit of power possibly a NSX.

The only car I tried was the X-Bow Street at 580PP. It may not have the top speed like other cars, but it more than makes up for it through hugging the corners.

@Boston and Baked, nice times boys. This one not for me, always struggle at Silverstone.
@ Turbo,,nice positive write up buddy and a very nice time. I knuckled down last night and got a silver time.
In the 580 street car I use my BMW M3 GTR.
-
Ran the 580 point time trial some tonight tried Shelby Series One good enough for gold. Moved on to the F430 Scuderia good enough for second on my friends list. Finally tried the NSX LM Road Car good enough for a 1:20.112. Think I will be able to squeeze a 1:19.xxx before the seasonal goes away.
Also went back to the FGT @Silverstone whittled away a bit more was happy with a 1:32.123. Think I can see a 1:31.xxx before this pne goes away.
Good luck any/everyone chasing this looks to be a pair of fun ones for us to swap times back and forth
-
I got up early today to try and give you guys some competition. I got close in 580 route 5, but I find my lack of track time and especially Maggots and Beckets destroying me at Silverstone.
More track time will help. I've also started looking at replays. 7th gear t1 is now possible,but many others are beyond for now.
Good luck and this is fun.
-
Yeah the Tomahawk X is pretty much beyond drivable in that very few can drive it anywhere near its limits. The base model(s) is not terrible. The race model (GTS-R) at Dayona isn't bad either. I enjoyed my time there. I dug in at the Ring and got 1 clean lap after 2 hours. 4:43. I had to remember not to drive at the car's limits, because I can't. I drove closer to my limits. Brakes stabilize this car a lot, so I had to use brakes whenever the car was getting unstable, and stay the hell away from curbs..the suspension can't handle them. There's no way that car could be raced...anywhere other than a big oval. I miss racing
This thing is a special kind of awful... I attempted 3 laps at the Ring, got 1 in under 6 minutes. The other two I was in the grass within 30 seconds. Just stuck it in 4th gear and rode around.
You're right though... that car is only good on an oval... a very, very big oval... I think a high-draft TuTu is in the works...

Honestly I fail to see the value in many of the Vision Cars but these srt things are by far and away the worst yet. It was as if Mark Shinedling, SRT advanced concepts manager, got the projects goals from a fourth grader. Who else would come up with a 400 MPH car that is supposed to be used somewhere other than the Bonneville Salt Flats?
Why is the "Real Driving Simulator" giving us fantasy cars that have little if anything to do with real driving? I understand drawing the brands in so they can showcase where they are headed but does anyone think this is where cars are going to be in five, ten, fifteen or hell even twenty years? From my point of view it lessens PD's credibility as for being a simulator and leads me to think of this as all more video gamey. The Chapparal was bad enough but these are making me wonder how far off Tron light cycles can be from seeming acceptable to PD.
PD could be laying out some guidelines for the manufacturers participating in the Vision program. To keep things at least somewhat in the realm of reality and still get people's attention. BMW and VW did decent jobs of their Vision attempts while not going too far for a couple of examples. There have been some others but those two come to mind first.

Admittedly (and in retrospect) I think the worst Vision GT cars tend to stand out much more and perhaps even overshadow some of the more decent other ones, when faced with ridiculous monstrosities like the SRT (and the Chaparral, though I never drove that) it's easy to forget the more legit ones like the BMW, Toyota and Lexus that seem to be more along the lines of concept GT500 or GT3 style race cars. Even the odd little retro style Alpine race car didn't seem all that bad from what I remember.

Made my original goals last night at the current seasonals. Into the 1:19's at SS Rt 5 and into the 1:31's at Silverstone. So everything from here on out is gravy.
Made my time at Silverstone after having smashed my finger leaving it with a chunk missing, bleeding and throbbing. Thought that would be a good time to run some laps. I know crazy eh? But my thinking was that focusing on driving would distract me from the pain. It must have worked as I found my time at Silverstone on only my second lap. So here is my tip (not really) hurt yourself, nothing too drastic, before you run time trials so your mind will want to focus entirely on your driving.

I felt some camber in the back end of the FGT helped at Siliverstone. I have 0.0F/2.0R. LSD 20/5/30 (I think)
I'll see if I can find time to attack your lap Baked. I did well in my first attempt (I did quite a few laps)
-
Re: the SRT insanity @ Noodleburg. Some freaks can drive that thing. I watched the P1 replay on Sunday and it is pure craziness, but obviously quite possible for some.
I need lots of laps at Silverstone. The Maggots, Becketts complex is destroying my lap time. ^-^
-
I slapped that tune you provided Dude. I improved my initial time by over a second. I'm either to aggressive with the throttle or I need to tweak 3nd and 4nd gears a little more. I'm losing a shit ton of time on exit with wheel spin.
Thank you for providing a very nice tune. I'll have a go at it again sometime this week.

Great to hear it and fixed, I've said before... I can't tune, but I am pretty good at finding good tunes. :)
I have never had much luck changing that guy's (SW__10) gearing. I think you might try playing with TCS.
-
Also, as far as wheel spin is concerned. Technically you have a few choices. TCS (yes real race cars use this these days), up shift a tad sooner (yes tad is a technical term. It's a lot like a smidgen in cooking) and or there may be more but, using that throttle oversteer to tighten up the corner.
-
I did the FGT one and got up close to Boston. He is a tenth faster, but I would think that throttle control is where it's at. You don't want TCS coming on when you'd prefer it not to. It might be hard to find the benefit of using it while also not introducing a detriment.
The SRT @ Nurb is truly crazy. MasterGT has an amazing 4:29 there!
The problem with the car is its twitchy steering at high speed. In order to keep the car on track for a whole nurblap, I had to reduce throttle input severely whenever there was the slightest bend.
One thing that helped was making my Thrustmaster go to 1080 steering instead of the 900 that the car wants to do naturally in GT6. Very annoying fix, though, because GT resets it to 900 every time you restart the Trial.
I'd imagine, that if we could open up and tune a few things, this could be okay... but it appears not to have been driven before releasing... and the video online has the designer talking about how he played GT for years... so I don't know what he was thinking...

That effingSRT @ Nurb has Racing Soft tires on it. If you could just change the front tire to Sports Soft or Racing Hard even it would be night and day.

I got on track again last night. I was following you close until Copse, then lost a ton more time through Maggots and Becketts. I'll get on track a couple more times before this is over.

The new Tokyo R246 Quick Match would be OK if it wasn't for all of the people who are out of their league attempting to race these cars.
The payout is good, though.

This is my last day of freedom and only partially so I have to be up at 4 am tomorrow so early to bed tonight. Was trying to enjoy my early afternoon made minor improvements on my seasonal time trials the 580 point one @ SSRT 5 got down to a 1:19.596 and the FGT got down to a 1:31.6xx. Need to get a few things done around here then may try to go back for some more before these disappear tomorrow.
EDIT; ran a bit more before heading ro bed just now got down to a 1:19.432 around SSRT 5.

I got an early time in at Suzuka with the NSX, it was good enough for 17th last night. I'm sure it has dropped substantially by now.
-
Went out for a bit last night after some family time and ran the Suzuka TT set a goal time of making it into the 1:08's. Got down to an 1:08.7xx but only tried the GSXR4 think the NSX LM and the 111R might be decent rides for this one as well. May not get to try again until Saturday night but also want to try the other TT as well. Good luck everyone.
-
So the Suzy race allows that GSXR? Damn. Leader boards are gonna be full with that ringer.
I'll give others cars a go before I end up in that thing. I feel like I'm cheating using that car. I know I'm not, as everybody uses it.
Lotus, RUF 3400, and the NSX will be my starters.
Good luck guys. I look forward to chasing those blue lines.

Last night the top time was actually posted with a NSX LM road car. I am thinking the longer straights at Suzy favor a higher HP car. But for me personally I always prefer a light car even more so as the tires we are using are more towards the low end of possibility. There was a TT at Mid Field a month or two ago where I think hardly anyone used the GSXR4 they all chose HP over light weight but I was able to be at a much lower HP and make the most out of the tires by going light. Got killed on the straights but would reel everyone back in and then some under braking and by carrying speed through the turns. It allowed me to top my friends list by taking this approach.
-
I am happy just to get Golds, so being at the top of my friends list is a distant wish, nowadays. I look for more challenging cars, esp ones that I haven't even used yet.
At Suzuka, I used the BMW M4 Coupe'. It barely makes it at full spec (no turbos, either). Good enough for Gold, though. The Viper Team ORECA @ Silverstone also made me work for it.

Using oddball cars can make it very challenging.

They aren't necessarily oddball, but they tend to be high in my "available cars" list.

Seems there's not much going on over in Pc world and gt has been cooperating, so I've been playing a tad bit more often. Even got to race with Dude for a couple races last week, :)
So I tried out the Suzuka seasonal to see the new version (haven't been there since the change) and was having some fun. After some tuning and laps in the NSX I got down to a 2:07.265. Puts me at 72 for the moment and close to my target time, so I'll be back for more. I'll probably try the gsxr last, as it seems to be a tad better than the nsx.

That's just it, no one around anymore and don't always feel like trying open rooms, so I kinda stopped playing (although the miatas interest me greatly).
Back to the subject at hand, my target of a top 50 might be pushing it. I think I need a 206.6/7 to do that comfortably. I know there are at least 2 more tenths for me, but a half second is going to be tough.
What tune are you using for the NSX Dude?

-
Getting there, but still off my target. Found 2 more tenths for a 207.015. My target was a high 6, but it's getting harder and harder to get there.
Thanks for the tune Dude. Was a little loose for my taste, but I adapted a couple things from that tune to mine. Very happy with what I have now.

Fucking Pescarolo wrecked me twice... had to run this race three times to win it.
It was weird though... that early high speed lefthander before the right hander backed by sand that leads downhill... the Bentley Speed 8 wiped out BIG time there in 2 separate races. One time I came around that corner at 200 mph and it was just parked sideways in the middle of the track. Not sure the last time I saw the AI careening off track with big accidents. Kinda cool.

Oh gosh I see it's on Amazon Prime. :o

You found it on Prime! I guess I know what I'm watching this weekend. Its easily been 10 to 15 years since I've seen it. I think it's mandatory watching for us southerners.

Got down to a 1:06.668 before I realized there was a tune available. Would like to try to improve but doubt I will find time to do so. Late last night was first time I even got to try it and it is just a few days away from being replaced. At the other TT seasonal I am down to a 1:06.8xx. In the Gixxer kart.

With a sign in bonus that wet spa race is the bank. Sweet!
I'm tooling around in an effed up Mitsubishi I tuned for Tsukuba TT. It takes me a little over 8 minutes, but it's sure fun and the payout is awesome.

all this easy money got me to spend 20 mil on the Furrari 250GTO

Have some time off work and got back to the Tsukuba TT. Pulled that 206 Subi out for a '58.682.
Getting closer to something in the 8:30's at rainy Spa.

On the plus side, the payouts are way better. I think I own all the 20 million cars now thanks to that Spa race. :)
Also, also, work on GT7 must be more of a priority now.

For the Spa / rain race, I used a TTS at 450 PP, and it makes for a good challenge.

I'm not a drifter but I ran the 500pp RX7 last night with this TUNE (https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/exeter-gt-tuning-updated-with-new-seasonal-setups.300860/page-356#post-10962006) and banked 1.1 million and received a RX7 LM Race car. It looks like a cool car, comes in different colors with different numbers. It might make a decent DOLT Saturday Car.

GT Arena hardly ever gets used, so I'm glad to see that. I half-jokingly voted for that track on Monday for MNR. While it turned off some, it was still a good place to race a tiny car.
-
I was enjoying and struggling at the 630pp GT3 Suzuka TT. I could see my friends blue lines and I had a few laps where I could keep the top 5 close,but never close enough and looking at times I'm figuring a 1'52 is probably my maximum. Then tonight I noticed racing soft tires are allowed and after some more laps got it down a bit. I think for me a 1'49 for sure maybe a high (not that high Brindle and Baked. LOL) 1'48 is possible.
This is a solid tune for the BMW. I I bumped the gears up to 2.055.

No desire to visit Suzuka.
I was able to Bronze the GT Arena, drifting the Autozam all the way around. (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)
Then used an Audi TTS to gold it.

Top of my friends list is TCmx with a 1'39 in the NSX LM car everyone is using. I may go back to it with that car. I actually like that track a little bit.
Also, the Veyron was only good for Bronze. (buy new Veyron do NOT change oil, move power limiter all the way to the left and voila 550pp. (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)

Did anyone else find the Streets of Willow TT illogical? I view that track as more of a "club" type track made for smaller HP cars or weekend warrior type drivers/cars to put a 600 point car out there made no sense to me. Ran a lap to gold it and two more to improve my time but could not stomach anymore than that.
The other one at Matterhorn was challenging but in a more enjoyable manner. I used a Lotus to gold it with then went back with a 2002 turbo to get down to a 1:51.5 but with that much power the Bimmer is a bit of a handful. So went with what others were driving finally to make it into the 49.xxx. Would like to think I might go back out and try some more but realistically time will likely not allow it.

Over the last few days I have been randomly signed out of PSN while participating in one of these events. I'm curious if this is happening to anyone else here? I just did a 4.78 update tonight and had high hopes of a fix, but no.
So basically, does anyone else here have current PSN sign in/ out issues while logged in and playing a game?

Over the last few days I have been randomly signed out of PSN while participating in one of these events. I'm curious if this is happening to anyone else here? I just did a 4.78 update tonight and had high hopes of a fix, but no.
So basically, does anyone else here have current PSN sign in/ out issues while logged in and playing a game?
I know that this comment was from a few weeks ago, but I have a new contact for PDI now and I reported this to him on Friday. We will see if it does any good. I also reported this to PSN Support January 17th and it was on their books to investigate, at that point. I will follow up on that one.

Friday night I was signed out of PSN while just using Netflix. I have begun to get all kinds of disconnects which never happened before either.

wauk-azoo is on the top of my Friends list. I saw him online over the weekend and told him what an awesome time he had and I was still aiming for him. So that crazy guy pm'd me his RSC tune on Sunday. :)
I haven't had a chance to try it yet though. I get burnt out on TT's, I was a few tenths up on my time and heading into the 8's when I totally fucked up the last turn.

For the Bathurst time trial, I wanted to use a good handling, tame car, so I picked the NISMO GT-R, 2014. It got me three seconds under the Gold time.
The Toyota 88C-V handled much better when I cut the power. ^-^ I kind of doubt this car was designed for this type of tight corner track.

The recent 500PP Comfort Soft Seasonal at Tsukuba is, basically, a one-horse race. Hundreds of drivers are using only the GS-X/R4, or whatever it is called. I never use it. The only other car that I found can get a Gold time is the Evora with a tune.
The X-BOW Street car can get really close, but not close enough in my hands. Other light-weight MRs, such as the Elises, might be able to do it, but I haven't tried yet.

Seasonals haven't been updated for a while.
Beginner: used a stock NISSAN SKYLINE 300GT Sedan because I thought it would give me a challenge with its weight on Tsukuba. It was an easy win @ 422PP, so I did it again but tuned the car a bit and took 10% of the PP away, shifted some weight and added racing brakes. This is up against a couple of V8s, and Elise 111R and the Ford RS200. I mean fair is fair. Second place was on my bumper as IO crossed the finish line. Comfort Soft tires give you just over 1 G of grip. This is a fair challenge, you get paid well, and the prize car is OK.
Intermediate: tuned C7 Corvette @ 533PP and Sports Hard tires. I had used this car for something, but I figured that another Corvette may start on the grid and I was right. By lap 2, it was a mano-a-mano between the two Corvettes only. I got in behind the C6 and he was brake-checking on the apexes, so I passed him and let him inhale my exhaust. Until the last lap, he was dogging me at less than a second. He tires on the last lap. I picked up Diablo Red with the Fireblade.
The Expert challenge is a bit tougher. I used the GT500 Base Model (2,23 kg/HP) and got close, but it was under-specced, so I will have to do it more than once. It might be enough. 5.4 1.6 seconds short and still underpowered. I put the mid-range turbo on for a 1.97 Kg/HP.
Lots of mistakes, so lots of restarts. Beat the Zonda, at 6'36, with over a second to spare. You have to be aggressive and accurate throughout the race. The big car to beat is the Zonda. All other grids have been easier, so far.
Here is an example run. There may be faster cars, but this combo makes for a good challenge.

Seasonals haven't been updated for a while.
I don't remember the last time I played this game, and got slack on posting seasonal info. :-[
-
Seasonals can be good challenges, if you don't pick go-to cars, plus they pay so well that they bankroll buying a lot of cars or colours. To each their own, I guess.
I don't understand why you would get hassled for posting the info.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)
I wasn't being hassled, I meant that I got lazy, and quit posting them.
GT6 unfortunately to me was a re-run of GT5, and didn't really bring anything to the table. Even though there were a few new cars, I was still racing for, and buying the same cars that I've bought in two games already(GT4 & 5). Not to mention each version has had less content than the one before, and looks like GT Sport could be the same way, content wise, but it's too early to say.
I applaud the guys that have stuck with it, but I just couldn't do it. I really haven't play racing games much in general, until now(The Crew). I think I got burn out.
My apologies for going off on a tangent there.
