First post :P looks a good combo, good luck to all
One of my favourite tracks!!!This is going to b a great week!!

EDIT: Is there realy any tuning to do? i didnt kno you could change anything much...
 
10 bucks if veilside doesn´t get this win...

no disrespect to others, but with this car and this track...

for me, i hope i get a good result, speacialy since the fact that not many drivers enjoy those fast cars... interesting week, walls already freaking me out
 
Awesome pick CFM.
I may have to join up for a week just to give this a try. :D

I will be back with T times hopefully... Just depends on what my schedule is like for the next week. :confused:

Talk to you all later,
Till then,

Week 26 race pissed of me so I skiped my time submision.This one though,looks far more better...will give it a go!

Hope you can squeeze a run in Kent.👍 I've no idea how this thing handles in Sim mode, but I'm sure with some searching around GTP and some other GT forums there are some good setups floating around cyberspace for the F1.💡
 
AH HAH! I knew it would be at Tokyo! lol. Lets see if I can race as well as my mutant powers.

All I have to say is... NICE!!!

And I have to echo fasj6418 on this one... I think Veilside holds the GT3 record on Tokyo with the F1, so I wouldn't be surprised to see him tear it up!
 
First set of Pathetic splits

11.203
41.896

Said they were pathetic didn't i?

balls. i LOVE this track.. LOVE it.. but i dont have the pissing car !! grr. cant race enduro til game is 25%'d.. mm. need a clever plan.
 
The uber save?

Humph:grumpy:
I knew it would be this track.
Maybe ill have a go.

Nice to see Kent around the place.
:irked:👍
Good work CFM
 
On the subject of setups................

GTPlanet's database and most of the other places i have looked, have quite a few setups for both the car and the track.........Great i hear you all cry in unison,

Not so fast!

All i have seen, are relying HEAVILY on the aids being used, some i have seen, with maximum settings for all !

Anyone got some suggestions for a place to find some un-aided setups?

Niel
 
Gosh!
I had started to practice on Monaco, since I thought it had all chances to be chosen for the first F1 race.
Now I just have to pack my F1 and take the first plane from Nice to Tokyo :)
 
I was expecting monaco also... as its the only F1 track we havn't done recently.
 
hehe, tomorrow is a holiday here... lots of playing i expect...
(already looking foward to your ghost sam, :D but i know this isn´t a hotlap... :indiff: )

hope the AI doesn´t screw up things...

maybe i´ll run this week with stock setup for the first days just get a start...
although i loved setups in previous GT´s, now i can´t get my cars faster with my changes... :crazy:
 
This should be a blast, I'm gonna try it out in a sec.

I've got the same problem. During week 26 I spent a good few hours working on the car and it really felt like I got it to perform better.. a few laps in the stock car blew my laptimes away :nervous:.
 
i keep spinning out, Grrr...more tcs i think...lol, im not going to race without it. set it at 8 for the best start, slows you down afterwards....but im not picky and have no accelerator control, lol :P
 
Got the board rolling for you guys to chase something. I'll take a stab at this myself, although I think my all-blue car is going to slow me down.

That's my excuse, anyway.
 
Actually, scratch that, this is a 2 lap race and you guys are posting splits for ONE lap or from practice mode ... I'm going to empty the board until someone runs the full race.
 
Right, getting my GT4 this friday hopefully, so il be in for this:D

I know for a fact that in the fast kink right left up the hill halfway through i always lose the backend so some fighting to be done there.
 
After two runs:

Lap 1

T1: 18.916 (Very slow first corner)
T2: 50.465 (Had a moment running through the fast chicane)

Lap 2

T1: 11.456
T2: 42.047

edit: A few pieces of info.

This is the first car I'm using assists on in the WRS. I can't control the throttle enough with the sticks in the F1 and the back end is too nervous (unrealistically so) for me to control properly too. It's still standard set up wise and I'll probably leave it that way :)

edit2: Another run, much better this time

Lap 1

T1: 17.444
T2: 48.669

Lap 2

T1: 11.225
T2: 42.176

I probably won't improve much over this run. There were a couple of reasonably big mistakes and a few more small ones, but I took some of the corners better than I personally ever have on this track.
