[Dhalism]

what if the image that everyone guess to be nurburgring isnt the GP circuit. Theres a scary thought.

 

[MajorBlixem]

I'm managing Druids and Graham Hill relatively well.

As for the last sector, though, I just love dipping that left rear into the grass. Oh, and of course, I "hit" the cones at the Paddock Hill apex all the time.

After I "hit" the cones I went back to the replay... I'm pretty sure it was just the wind that knocked them over!

[Coxis]

Is there any way to see a country/region ranking? I'm sure you could filter leaderboards by country or competition region in previous years, but I can't seem to find it this year.

Nope you gotta count the flags! There is a link at the leaderboard where they tell you at least the names of the countries for the flags

[Adventuruss]

Anyone know if that Ghillepepper guy from last year is old enough this year? If he was old enough last year he would have been 2nd fastest eligible in the US.

He's old enough this year.

 

[True-blue-8]

hi guys can i interest you in this just a bit of fun, represent your country

[sk8er913]

Dubai isn't anywhere near the first track the winner does. Just the first in International competition. There's 3-4 months of racing on the national circuit in England and I'm sure the majority of those tracks aren't in GT6. Going by your logic, maybe they'll add in a GT Academy Training DLC.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they did... I mean one off license test tracks and, you know the moon. With PDs history anything is possible

 

[JJG12345]

Been putting in a ton of time but im feeling kinda frustrated/stuck at .827 . I think I'm maybe losing some time fixating on the ghost, but it seems like I'm missing the line without it.

Great replay Andrew, thanks for sharing. 👍 Btw, I haven't heard back from you yet in regards to my pm to you.

 

[GumballCGT]

I'm good for 95th with a 1:03.325 just now.

 

[eclipsee]

As for driving, I can drive a manual efficiently, but all I need to learn is heel-toe shifting. I may be doing a track day at Summit Point and going to Skip Barber sometime this summer.

You can practice heel and toe in iRacing, way cheaper than a track day, you'll need to modify your G27 pedals to make them more comfortable though, a GTEYE progressive spring or something similar will help at getting a more natural feeling too.

I think I have an iRacing account that I forgot about. I may do a bit of practice there.

 

[Wardez]

@Doodle
Why resub to iR when you already have Assetto Corsa, it's transmission model as far as stick shifting goes is better.

[sk8er913]

I improved my time tonight after about 40 laps, 4300 -> 1951. Stupid DS3... My time went from 1:04.163 -> 1:03.827

 

[Gr8888T]

Trying to get that 3 to 4 tenth more for top 4 eligible Canadians , currently 1.03.74x. Let's see if I have the skills

Thanks for putting the list together, always wondered where I stand in Canada. There are lots of time to shave off though, didn't think there's only 32 Canadians ahead, 1424 seems pretty far behind.

You could do a Google Doc Spreadsheet and just leave the link.

Like @Johnnypenso said, a google doc would be simple. I have a similar google doc I'm doing for SNAILRACING.ORG. I have a form they can submit their time through and it inputs to the database. I just need to sort and clean out older times. Pretty simple really. The post with the forms are linked in my signature if you want to check it out.

 

[Soyuz 77]

Here's my replay if anyone wants to check it out. Great to watch when you aren't by the PS3. 👍

I had my volume at 100% before I realised I was not going to hear the engine noise. Anyway, I used you ghost time to help get me under 1:04,000. Thanks for sharing that. 👍

 

[CoachMK21]

In case anyone was wondering, as of this morning around 7:30 am ET, there were a total of 95577 register PSN entries for Round 1. My 11 year old took a lap about as slow as he could to see if he could get last. He failed, as someone else must have had the same idea and had a time in the 3:30 range.

 

[LLOYDZELITE69]

I'm done trying to post laps for now. I haven't tried in two days and won't be able to cause of work at nights. Also, I don't want to burn Myself out for something a little simple.

 

[Drew71]

Jumped on and did 10 laps and got a 1:03.5. Hopefully the rest of the events have a car with more then a D drive haha.

 

[sk8er913]

Is it possible for a DS3 user to win?
