Until the aliens try this combo.:scared:

My settings:
AS: off
TCS: 0
ABS: 1
BB: 5/5

Nothing unusual with the settings. I use 2nd gear for 1 corner, 4th gear for 2 corners and 3rd gear for the rest. You figure out which corners.;)

Gears are exactly the same as me Wes, and you're not fooling anyone with the alien comment :sly:
 
Since quite a few folks are already claiming to be at their limit...

Side contest: who can get the fastest time using ABS 0 and cockpit view/HUD-off for driving? :dopey:
Answer: not me

Thanks for the gears puzzle, I'll try to decode it on my next try. 👍

EDIT: Without my driving line diaper, I've reverted to using the red gear shift indicator. :(

Did a little raindance and got this!

A slight hesitance on the last corner cost me a little bit of time, but happy with the fact that I can at last get into the 58s - managed a 58.93x too but ballsed up Flugplatz a treat on that run.

Unlike most, I take turn 1 in 3rd gear, much faster for me and I can hit the apex and not spin the wheels up on exit.

Using 2/0 BB upon Jon (GTP_Carlos) recommendation.

Strong active steering, ABS 1, TCS 0

I think so....:sly:

This is the exit of the turn just after the T1 split.
 
Started this combo with all available aids up to the max, then gradually reducing then. Did my best so far with:

AS Mild
ASM Off
TC and ABS 8
BB 3/3

1'00.774

New split:
T1: 58.061
Lost a tiny bit in T1, but made up for it in the last sector.

Are you human? :crazy: Absolutely insane split there buddy, was hoping you had some secret technique to gain the times you were running, but was disappointed when I found out you used the same as me haha. 👍

Also, good races last night man, that car was a bit of a handful!

Mention to Millross as well, representing the DS3 keep it up! :D What do you find to be the best settings for the pad? At the minute I'm indecisive whether AS on strong or turned off is quicker, but I find it helps a lot on turn 3 by having it on (is it just me struggling at that corner?!)
 
Very mild improvment:

58.913

Frustrating day so far with it, I cannot seem to string together all the corners appropriately. I know there's at least .4 in there.
 
That's just an insane T1 Wes. 👍
I've no idea how to get within 4 tenths of that.

58.591

Lost a bit on last corner.
 
This may be a stupid question, but how does one become a ": Only Open to Qualified GTP_Registered Members ::".

EDIT: Figured it out, now to go qualify.

Same here.

I was getting final times very close together for about an hour in the session until I found something at the top of the hill and plastered the final time by over a second.
 
20 laps last night: No split, didn't finish 1 attempt. :banghead:
15 more laps today, best lap had a split of 1'07.xxx :banghead::banghead:

Decided to throw in the towel if the next 10 laps or so didn't work either.
Set the ABS to 10, and BB to 0/0 (because nothing else was working).
Lap 12...

T1: 1'00.254
👍

< 1'00? :bowdown: to all of you! Wow.

Crap quality so squint while you watch... :dopey:

I think I know what Kenny is talking about "at the top of the hill". :sly:

My first run with a T1 under 1min and I actually completed the sector!

59.620

First time this week on the DFGT, AS off, ABS 1, BB 2/0. Nice and floaty. 👍
 
Well if this isn't a hit or miss combo, I don't know what is.

59.033

Opposite of last week, I think the final sector is more important this week.
 
Update:

59.076

I had another go yesterday and had improved a bit then out of nowhere I had a 59.0 split on one lap, it's a shame the last sector was a bit poor on this lap but it's still my fastest by far so far.:)

DS3 Army!

I was running 7/3 BB and that worked quite well but 2/0 is even better.

By turn 3 do you mean the fast, braking-left/right or the fast right? I think active steering helps me in any week where the car has a tendency to slide, this one is no different. I haven't run laps without it on this combo but I should give it a try because it's not always the answer.

2/0 & ABS1 seems to have made the most difference in keeping the car nice and tight under braking - I think using lots of half-turns helps too, full lock just induces loads of SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAL, etc :)

I do love how the tires scream regardless of pouring rain, I know there's an oddball situation here and there in real life where it happens, but in GT5, tires squeal ALL the time. :lol:

Yeah the squeal particularly in this car which is old and not that powerful is somewhat unrealistic, but who cares, it's great fun :)
 
From my first run, with DS3

T1: 59.530

I'll have to try this with the wheel today...
 
T1: 58.086

T1: 59.385

Well its a sweet run I did. Compared to all my other previous tries its incredible but I am suprised at how much time Im losing just to T1.

At least its clean for sure no doubt about it. hahahaha

I went fast but I didnt push it anywhere to the ultimate edge where I could get dirty this run.

I was before and I didnt intentionally try to be ultra conservative it just looks that way is all.:)
 
I think the best I can manage here is maybe a smidge under the one minute mark.. but thxs guys for the help with bb settings and things like that, it really helps.. you guys at the top post insane times I could only dream about.. I am enjoying this combo which helps alot...

May I ask which combo you are driving this week? :scared::crazy:

Great to see a fellow country man completely dominating the leader board these days. 👍

Lol, how do you guys get those rain tires on :sly:

My new splits, although I'm still not sure how I managed it, and can't reproduce anything close:

T1: 1'00.831

This is a really tough combo....
