If GTS does no go well I will join you on Pcars 2 mate when they fix a few issues with that game, GT6 is old now.Thanks mate, hands on is always best so I'll probably get both anyway. That's about what a lot of the forums say so you go doing some laps and I'll go work on the missus.:tup:

I played PCars2 last night for a few laps. It's alright. Came home and slept and woke up with a headache. Opened a beer at 0730 and ten laps later I do a 1:08.772. This isn't the first time I set a new best after driving another game and set up.
And I tried the 2J, and within minutes I was at 1:09.0 and decided, nope, staying in the TS030.

@CC I'm done with the 2J. Just for fun run up some mileage on the TS and see what happens. I had about 6 sessions so far and every time within a few laps I do PB, and from there it's a grind.
Good time mate.

I have just over 12k km on my TS030. I have another that is about twice that but it won't hit 600 PP anymore.

Read your post and the following happened :
1. Wow, great time from EeePee ...
2. Won't let him get away with it ...
3. Where's the PS3, where's the orange juice ...
4. Yo man ...
Took me 100 more miles and more rant than usual.
1.08.672, P25 atm ( ODO 590 km )
Congratulation Cory, you're fastest in the Carina, brilliant 👍 👍 👍 ... and thanks for the challenge

Tried the 2J today, but slower than the TS030 for me......
Can't get anywhere near @coryclifford though

Same here mate, just can't get that thing flowing. Actually got down to 1.09.628 yesterday, did it in the middle of a bunch of laps so I must have tricked it. As Fred says it's hard after doing that, the next lap was 1.11.1 with this thing trying to toss me off the track all in the last half lap.Tried the 2J today, but slower than the TS030 for me......

And the beer helps, the do-gooders don't like us enjoying it but we tend to do good with a couple under the belt.

Just got my G29 and am liking it , except the brake pedal, which needs a few more laps to get used to. Running 1.10s in the 2J with tranny and differential tuning only. Tried the prior settings listed here but too much toe which is does not suit my driving style. Will be experimenting with the suspension setting and hope to be in the 1.09s. I lost my PS3 (crashed) so took 5 days to get all updates (that was fun!!!). Can anyone please advise on how to get mileage on TS020?

In TS030 with ~12250 km or 7622 miles, I'm at 479 hp/281 ft-lb with the limiter at 98.4%
In brand new one, from 615 PP to 600, it's 468 hp/305 ft-lb at 88.5%

Big enough difference that it's worth the effort, little effort that it is. The torque difference is interesting.
The 2J is faster in speed by quite a bit.

1.11.877, now starts the fun part of tuning her. Still contemplating adding a tiny bit of TCS

Moved up to 1:08.721
Straighter line in the end helped a little.

Cory, just out of interest ( guess I won't start going for high mileage cars in the last days of GT6 ) :
I assume you've done so many miles with the Toyota 'cos you love that car and therefore just used it that much, ok.
But besides that, is there any way of just gathering miles without driving yourself ?

B Spec or the rubber band trick with the controller around Route X.

I've been searching ingame some time ago but I couldn't find any mode where you have Bspec available with a random number of laps. Did I miss something ?

Thank you guys for hints and link. Really appreciate that 👍. I finally know how it can be done at least. But ...
Another kind of rubberbanding
? No ! Driving endless dull laps myself ? A waste of ... whatever !I will practise 'til I'm able to compensate any lack of hp with driving skill
