550PP 2WD Non-Racing Car Super Lap: Red Bull Ring

[soupcan]

This morning the thread was in the toilet now it's in the gutter, depending on how you flow it can be considered an improvement.

 

[Stotty]

I'm currently at 1:33.7xx and there's still a few more tenths or possibly even half second I could nick. No doubt you will be faster than me.

Sorry

Every lap I run, half way between the start line and the 1st corner, your ghost line flies past me... then again between 1st and 2nd hairpins... I wondered WTF was going on until I saw what you were driving

 

[nowcontrol]

Yep, It's certainly a lot faster on the straights, but the balance of the car and it's poorer braking ability compared to the NSX-R just don't quite cut it in the corners unfortunately.

 

[Growling]

Where's the popcorn smiley? This is great

Using Cargo's tune with no rear toe I'm on 1:32.844. Left a few tenths out there I reckon.

MUST IMPROVE!!!

Is it the Ferrari gto!? I pull a perfect first corner and then @ODB comes tearing past me.. Pretty sure he's pulling the fastest first sector in the world

 

[WhoosierGirl]

OK now, That's quite enough of that thank you very much.... remember where you are... this is not Tinder!


@WhoosierGirl .. Are you going to give this a try in your Miura? I'm currently at 1:33.7xx and there's still a few more tenths or possibly even half second I could nick. No doubt you will be faster than me.

Sorry for the thread derail,

I just noticed that this seasonal lasts a week longer then usual (special Christmas seasonal coming?) so I have time to try different cars. I will definitely give my Muira a try, not so sure I will be faster though.

It's the Muira.

What's ODBs PSN? I need him on my friends list

I don't really have "skills" to compare or compete with Aliens (not sure I really like the term) So , sorry I really should have said "got the most out of my limited abilities" rather than "compare myself to them"

I think anyone can compare himself to anyone, it's not needed to be an "alien", if you are fast and the other is slow, the gap will be bigger, that's all.

In a tuned TT how do I know I haven't reached my full potential if I am not using the best possible tune available?

It's easy, you need to compare yourself with people of your same level, if you're slower than them your car settings are not good enough, if you're faster than them your car settings are going in the right direction.

Well said. I'm always trying to be in the top 1000, but more importantly I worked on a friend list with people with the same skills and also using a controller like I do, to keep me motivated to improve my time in these TT's.

Thanks yet again to @GTP_CargoRatt and @Stotty for sharing their tunes which helped me to lap a 1:33,635 for the moment.

And thanks to all for the motivation to keep trying to improve, by keeping this thread alive and kicking.

 

[mcsqueegy]

Improved to a 1'32.211 for 6th

Was actually on par with the top time until T3, then I panicked of course

 

[Sp St Claus]

Thank you all. Good job , Good Site. I liked 👍

 

[Mundus]

Best side for GT-Maniacs

I was very late getting to this seasonal. I haven't been playing much GT6 lately. Thank you for the tune Stotty. 👍 I just slapped it on my NSX-R at managed a 1:36.410 after only 5 laps (first two were DQs / spin-outs). We'll see if I can find some motivation to get this time down.

I'm sure just braking a bit later will drop my time quite a bit. After a few laps I don't pretend to think I know where the optimal braking point is for each turn...I know I give away a lot of time coming down the hill into that blind left hand sweeper (the beginning of the horse-shoe). I think I'm a little too cautious getting back on the throttle fully too. Those first two laps I spun because of over-aggressive after a corner. Now I think I'm doing the exact opposite.

Good luck to everyone! Especially those chasing the lowest times... You guys (and gals) are incredible drivers!

1'32.705 didn't register... need to have another go

Try levelling the ride height on my tune and reducing the LSD accel to 12... that will make the car more stable on entry and exit and you'll spin less... then as you get used to it and start running consistent laps, gradually add the rotation back 👍

Thank you. I will definitely try that...

 

[ODB]

It's "smooth criminal" mate

Hey what the hell, no naming at GTP Naah, it's no secret and stotty can add me NP

 

[Growling]

Whoops

 

[ODB]

Ok for everyone else but Stotty.. It is NOT Elvis... At all

It's only that you're sort of braking the forum policy, so would you at least mind asking from me first if you want to share my PSN ID!! But yeah, no big deal don't worry mate

 

[lisanorm]

only just in the 33's, still more there(if i get some time )....and to @joeledward and @Mike-ZENKAI can you guys slow down a bit(dont make me get back in the AT).but i am pretty happy with my progress so far using MT .....So now you can come beat me on the other one ..

 

[Growling]

Whoops!! Sorry mate!! I had no idea it was a rule. I edited my posts so if you just edit your quoted one of mine, it's all good.

 

[Stotty]

Sorry for asking

 

[ODB]

Sorry for asking

Hahahaha, don't worry I understand that I seem like really scary guy but don't be shy asking things directly from me, I won't bite

 

[Nicko]

Made a (very slight) improvement to 1'32.254, still chipping away...

 

[Sp St Claus]

1'34,5 better it will not "Speedsantaclaus"

 

[Mundus]

1:34,572 and no more improvement

 

[IBZ6L20VT]

1:34,572 and no more improvement

You can never say that... Just keep trying and looking for things that others are doing better than you. There is always room for improvement!

The year is still long

 

[Ed_Night]

I was playing with the downforce a bit today, but i still don't know what's the way to go.

I use 300/475 at the moment and improved to 1:32,391 for 15th place.

 

[Mike-ZENKAI]

But i am pretty happy with my progress so far using MT .....So now you can come beat me on the other one ..

Still a great time considering you just recently started with MT.
Will certainly try my best to come close to your time at Suzuka
