AS: strong , automatic gear ,handbrake are allowed; it is is not cheating

I know, but what's the point? :confused:

I never said that using AS is cheating. ;)

You called Kilou the "best french player" and i'm sure he would be able to get into the top10
without AS.
But for me all players who don't use AS are better players than those who use it, no matter what time they have achieved.
 
Who is the best France player? I think Kilou is it? He have the best time and without strong AS he still have the best France time i think? So ....:gtpflag: Dudes its still a game :P
 
Can be, But he say: ''one of the best'' so that's right :P

He has a great time. strong AS or not its a amazing time.
 
smoked a controller(DS3) the other day and had to go get another(DS3)kinda getting used to it,L stick is moved up and its taking some getting used to but,I know this don`t count as its TT myself offline...
But it still feels pretty cool though :) 2:01.357
thanks to all the tunes here

I'm down to a 1.58.242...

...nothing special, but I did notice something: In order to get @HansDampf's tune to work I had to turn down my force feedback to stop the DFGT from getting clunky over the bumps, which severely affected the car's rotation.

If any DFGT users are having the same issue, try Max Torque 1 and Sensitivity 5.

Edit: This is without AS

Interesting debate:

ABS, Power Steering Option, and Active Steering are all driver aids, I suspect all top ranked drivers use the first two aid options. Active steering is not necessarily "faster" as turning is harder (or hampered) but does increase stability on corner exits. I would suggest set up is easily the largest contributor to fast lap times and a good set up can often equate to Active Steering being a "slower" option. Also drivers use a myriad of differing quality wheels which have a myriad of settings along with differing pedal quality. Also there is cockpit vs no cockpit, and even TV quality.

P.S. DS3 drivers are the aliens!! How on earth they do the times they do is incredible to me, I can't even get round 1 corner, lol.

Right, if you setup your car without AS and than switch to AS: strong all you get is understeering.
You need to use a setup that provides a lot more rotation to use the full advantage of AS.
AS keeps your car from sliding under braking and gives you more grip under acceleration.
With AS: strong it requires a lot less driving skills to finish a fast lap than without the aid.

With a DS3 you can do everything a wheel user can do, except the limited steering angle,
but that's just sometimes a problem.
 
Great going 👍

Hmm, good if I could say the same for myself....been stuck on 2:00.496 for a few days now....lucky to break 2:01 at the moment. Will try again when the frustration eases :)

I have tried several set ups, all netted similar lap times. But my best laps are with a Frankenstein version of the same tune Kossie uses. But I removed rear downforce, softer front sway bar, softer front springs, stiffer front shock extension and a higher rear axle ratio to get closer to the redline at the end of the long straight.

I use a DS3 with abs 1 and no other aids. I think I could pick up another .75-1 second if I need to...depends on if I stay in the top 500 or not. :)

I've got 3 different tunes, and they all produce an identical lap time - as per usual, the limiting factor is me!

OK you have set me a challenge :) to try and prove the minimal difference after setting up the car (AS vs no AS)

I have hit a brick wall at 1.56.022 with AS. I will attempt to set the car up with no AS and try and crack the 1.56 barrier with the no AS set up. 💡
 
Drive a few rounds today.... 1:57 laps are easy but i can't get a 1:56. Sometimes i'm close but to much frustrating....:lol: 3 weeks to go .....
 
Zidane is french ..flag mean you are playing from french i think...

Ah yes Zidane was born in France, his parents moved there from Algeria.

I think you can choose every flag you want for your PSN-ID.


Well I believe I'm probably done with this one boys.Got a 1:56.9xx yesterday and did it without active steering just for Mr.Ed ;).I used Exactly what GT_Rajman posted.Time to give my hands,wrists and arms a break!

Well done mate. 👍
You didn't do it for me, you did it for yourself. It will improve your skills and it makes you a better driver. :cheers:
 
You most start a seasonal TT without AS. Drive a week whith that and then turn it on. Youre time will improve i think? This little thinks are helps the best(people they use AS) ? Other things you can try is take a very fast car(red bull, tjappie,tomahawk) and drive the track, Then take the best car for the tt on the same track.

Other things are the set up and driving skills, Learn to brake etc...

Fun game!:gtpflag:👍

Active steering also helps them cars a lot as well as i lost my chance for my 4th world record as a guy from italy use active steering he could use such less downforce he could corner fast as me but he was 15kmh faster on the stright.

I've tried all posted setups here. My best time came with @GT_Rajman's tune with an altered brake balance (7/6). Came close with the @HansDampf setup and with v8_pursuit's version of @GT_Rajman's tune a couple of tenths further back. In all, the times were relatively close. Think I might mess with @GT_Rajman's tune a little to see if that helps my style. But really, I need to work on my lines. Also I need to ignore my ghost more because if I am in front of it coming down through the esses I can get jittery and lose a hard fought lead :grumpy:

I use DS3 with ABS 1 and TC 1 only to start a session then drop to TC 0 once I'm settled in.....if I remember :)

Right now the world number 1 and 2 are:
1. TRL_IMMORTAL - 1:54.929
2. GT_Rajman - 1:55.077

Just watched their replays. Lord amighty those guys burned that road. That was some damn good driving there. They deserve an award.

1.55.941 without Active Steering. :)

Well as I suspected no Active steering happens to be faster in this TT. With adjustments to downforce, drivetrain and toe for stability the car turns easier, and importantly speeds up the two most important corners at Bathurst.
I don't think I magically became a better driver worthy of more respect because of using no active steering as others continually state. Active Steering is a setting with advantages and disadvantages. It simply requires less time for me to set a car up with A.S. because of the stability, often though A.S. affects corner speed as it does here, which makes me slower.
