[Sidebrowns]

Looks to be another GSX-R TT.

 

[gtmetacrisis]

Thanks @et_ for setting up these threads.

Hopefully @JogoAsobi comes back soon. Just wanted to thank you @JogoAsobi for all the work that you have put into the seasonal threads. You are a true asset to the GTP community.

Yay, I have the top time with a controller! (By the time I post this though I'll probably be eight or something) but for now I'm happy .

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

I used my trusty old BRZ. It was fun ^^

My tip on the car of choice: Suzuki GSX-R/4 '01

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

Pfff.. What's the fun in that? Use a car that struggles to get to the gold so your driving improves..

Fully agree with that. Thats taking the easy gold.
Its more fun when you earn it. I'm going at it with my EK9.

My first ever post. Lol.

Edit: First lap was a 1:07.214, Second lap was a 1:06.767 I'm currently ranked 595.

Or you dont care about gold or whatever and focus on getting as high as possible on the leaderboard.
I ment what car is the fastest, not what car suits you

 

[WhoosierGirl]

1:00.961 for an early 1rst.

Used the same setup as panorama, I just changed LSD to 20/11/17 and moved final to 4.300.

I really can't take listening to the Suzuki anymore, .

Edit; brakes to 6/2

I used to chase the best possible laptime once.. But then I raced against academy finalist and gave up.

 

[alex1369]

I did it with Ferrari Dino from first try, tuned it to 450pp.
Im not going for as fast as possible, i just want to get gold and prizes

Yeah was driving it for fun, too see what's happening, getting around with my Audi TT and what do i see at 1st place?

Congrats, Hopefully you stay up there for very long.

 

[BlazeTheCat05]

Congrats @WhoosierGirl on the podium time! I saw it while running my time.
Ended up with a 1:04.771 with a DS3 controller and a Lotus Elise 111R '04.

 

[ThrasherDBS]

It's funny how I had more trouble with this TT than the 97T one! I tried my trusty Triumph Spitfire that was pretty good at beating 550PP cars in the corners and I wound up a second and a half off the gold time. The next car I tried was my 86 Trueno, but that only got me half a second off the gold time. Tried my Toyota ist, was a full second off.

I sighed and gave in. I got a GSX and beat gold by two seconds and I feel so ashamed...

 

[Rit]

Hey!..I already won that paint chip. Recycling prizes so soon PD?..

 

[MTM79]

Easy gold on second lap with Opel Speedster Turbo. Bigger turbo only, all else stock.

Exactly the same and the limit power or without all the engine tuning? Do you keep the ballast?

 

[GT_Luuva]

Gold 1st lap in VW Golf R32 set up for bathurst, took the money and ran.

 

[Peasantslayer]

Is it normal to be really slow down the back straight compared to the top guys? I don't know if I'm just getting a bad exit or if it's something else.

 

[t_wilson01]

Yep, is the same with the Matte Light Green prize in the 4WD Drift challenge. Good thing I already have it or I would have had to endure some motion sickness.

 

[daveyhero]

In to the 1:04's with a Clio V6, pretty pleased with that. A few BRZ and Elise up there, saw an Elise around 1:02 so that's probably the best time out there of actual cars

 

[Ki_Reddy]

My time was 1:06:835 with my Abarth 500.

 

[WhoosierGirl]

I removed all power adders, left the ballast on to get to 450pp. It was late and my puppy was having bladder control issues so I didn't really have much time to do much else.

Congrats on the early run to 1st. Can't wait to try this one and Spa. Two of my better overall TT tracks.

Agree on not sure if I can listen to the Suzuki sound track for another two weeks.

 

[t_wilson01]

I've had enough of the GSX so I went with something different. I first tried the BMW 507 and was less than a second away from gold, but I don't have what it takes to go any faster. Next up was the Ferrari 250 Berlinetta and after some tinkering managed to get gold by a few tenths. It was rather enjoyable.

I hadn't noticed what a great looking car the Berlinetta is, specially when you lower the suspension.

 

[andre_pt]

Did 1:06.813 on my '99 Integra Type R

 

[Peasantslayer]

With regards to the power of the GSX-R I'd recommend just using engine stage 2, racing exhaust, sports computer and an oil change. The power curve isn't perfect when restricted but the game really punishes one that is completely flat with regards to PP and with these parts you don't have too much uneccessary torque using up PP, it feels as though it's a couple of tenths quicker than a flattened power curve.

 

[shoenboggie]

Had time for a few runs at lunch using WhoosierGirl's tune from the last TT with slightly higher spring and diff settings to get an EARLY 27th place at a 1:01.209. Need a better exit out of the hairpin before the long straight to gain another .200-.400 if I'm lucky.

Turned the volume down to not listen to the Suzuki's exhaust note/screech as much.

Try her tune for this TT too.

 

[Ed_Night]

Did a 1:00,818 for an early 9th place with 2/10 space for improvment.

I'm running 200kg ballast and added the racing exhaust + sports cat, but i'm not sure if there is any other way to get a better
weight : power ratio.
