Just found a brilliant race.

Take an Integra touring car. Fully equip it with all power mods, oil etc (Mine is now at 407ish bhp,) and throw a set of racing softs on it. Then take it to the Extreme Super GT event at Suzuka.

5 rules
  • Make sure it's dry
  • Make sure an NSX starts on the first 2 rows (or at least ahead of you)
  • Do not run off the track
  • Do not hit anything (the AI hitting you from behind or rubbing side by side is acceptable. A light tap to the AI is OK as long it doesn't send them off track, or give you the place)
  • Do not actively block

I did this last night and it's an excellent race. The NSXs (Raybrig especially) will catch and pass you at a couple of points each lap, but you've got to maximise your speed through the esses, and superior braking power into the first corner and the Casio triangle in order to stay ahead.

At one point, I had the Arta NSX coming past on the outside, and the Raybrig coming past on the inside coming up to a corner. They both got a car length ahead entering the braking zone, and I shot back through the middle in a demon late braking manoevre. It was brilliant fun.

EDIT: All of that is based on my driving ability. If you're quicker than me, let the Raybrig start on the first row. Basically, the further forward the Raybrig NSX starts, the harder it is.


 
Hello,
I could use some help from anyone who is used to the Hauppauge HD PVR recording device, i bought one from amazon 3 weeks ago which arrived with no manual or installation CD, so i contacted hauppauge website who kindly sent me the CD to install there product, now for my problem, i followed instructions on how to setup the hd pvr to my PS3 and to the computer, then i installed the CD that hauppauge sent me, i installed the cables from the pvr to my computer as it told me to, then the
component cables to the TV, i also set the ps3 to use component but when i swith on the hauppage nothing shows on the screen, there is nothing showing up that i can record or sound. i no i have installed the cables correctly as i followed the instructions to the letter, so where am i going wrong.

Any help greatly appreciated .
Sorry. Didn't see this earlier.

First thing I'd do is connect the PS3 directly to the TV (ignoring the HD PVR) via component to make sure the PS3 is outputting to component correctly.

Try leaving the PC off. Switch on the PVR, then the PS3, then the TV. Do you get anything there? Is the PVR displaying a single blue light on the front panel?

Now put the PC on and startup the totalmedia suite and start up the recording program. It should automatically detect the PS3 signal, and should display what the PS3 is outputting.
 
Updated with the Seasonal Historic race which I did in the VW Typ2 Samba bus.

Pretty cool.

I did those events with the little 500 F, but the Samba Bus definitely looks like a great, fun alternative. 👍
 
Updated with 400R in the Turbo Challenge and MR2 Supercharged 80's seasonal race.
 
Update 25 March 2011

Seasonal Truck race at Grand Valley Reverse using a matte brown Toyota Tacoma. It was modified to about 330bhp and using sports hards. I had won the other races easily, so I put 200kg in the back for this race in order to make it a close race. Didn't plan on making quite so close...

Now, that's close! Good one. 👍

Is that matte brown on your Tacoma?
 
We had an online Lan type thing (UKGTP14) last weekend and I'll be uploading videos from that. Here are the first 3.

RX8s vs Mustangs at Nurburgring GP/D


My favourite overtake of the whole weekend occurs at 10:20, but the whole race is good. GTP_Ingram didn't quite give me enough room on the inside, but I was going there anyway...

Shuffle race @ Monza (No Chicane)


Another good battle mainly between homeforsummer (clio), GTP_Ingram (Prelude), Sureboss (Green FTO) and me (White FTO). Favourite bit is when 3 of us went the length of the pit straight side by side by side... The Skyline battle at the end is between VEXD, Famine (camera car) and Venari.

Another Shuffle race, this time at High Speed Ring


This whole race was a 2 way battle between Roo's RSX and my Clio 172.
 
500


STI


Both races done in Famine's cars (as if the matte purple didn't give it away)
 
Oh, double post...

I had a brilliant online rce the other night racing Honda S2000, 430pp on Sports Medium tyres.

Here's the video of my excellent, clean, race long battle with Grand Prix.



I still can't believe that we made it though CocaCola side by side...
