Even though you are off the track in various places, your driving skill is excellent. I really like the power slide/drift around those tight corners. You showed great car control and very nice, fast and clean passes. Can you re-upload the video using interior view with all the information (speed, tachometer, gas, brake etc) displayed? What were your lap times (slowest to fastest)? I would like to learn from it.
I also won the event with the same Mustang Boss 302 but in stock form. I ran 1:26.xxx to 1:30.xxx lap times with patient and clean passing.
It might be easier for him to just upload his replay file. That is, if he is willing to do so. Re-recording and uploading to YouTube might be a pain, whereas, uploading his replay file would also allow you to replay from any angle you want, look at splits, etc...
I just run under different rules to you.
That was a pretty sloppy race as far as track boundaries go from me, I have to admit, but to my defence, I was doing setup for the next race on the last lap, seeing as though the AI weren't hassling me much.
I don't worry so much about track boundaries in any of the racing modes of this game.
Get enough of that in the TT events, DQ'n for brushing walls and crap.
My self imposed rules for GT6 having fun in the living room racing are generally this;
I think all circuit based motorsport should run a simple blanket rule of,
"Ye shall have some fraction of at least ONE(not 2) wheel inside, or over, the white lines at all times. Said wheel doesn't necessarily have to be grounded."
Having said that, I don't really beat myself up for cutting an apex here or there by inches, and I hardly ever worry about running wide, as the vast majority of the times I'm wide, then I'm just losing time anyway.
As long as I'm not gaining any great advantage from the lines I pull off, and my good intentions are to actually run to the rule I stated above, then I just let the little stuff slide. Trying to keep it fun for myself.
Again, I notice you have a 'no contact' rule.
My rule is 'reasonable contact'.
If I hit anything, I simply just think, was that enough to put me out of the race or damage my car badly enough, did I have the wheel turned out when I brushed that wall, was that an unfair pass, etc? If not, I continue.
You can see for yourself my rules in the vids.
The thing I find with these events, the more contact I have with the AI, usually the more chaotic and fun the race turns out to be.
'Reasonable' contact that is.
The more you touch them up and aggravate them or bunch them up, the better the race.
But that's probably just me.
I don't disagree with any of your rules, I just recognise them as your rules.
Everybody moves to a different schedule.
Sorry, I don't provide telemetry/inline views/setup/etc.
I don't like just tossing people fish if you catch my drift.
Don't want to turn you into a brake marker monkey.
Any kiddy handy with a video game controller can pull that off.
Rather you learnt to apply braking zones instead.
I also deliberatly don't supply lap time info for these A-Spec's either.
If you start talking lap times in these threads, next thing you know, somebody is doing like an empirical analysis on the AI's lap times or something hilarious like that. Then you have to try explain to them how an average race weekend works and it just degrades from there.
It's Sunday, it's race day, put the stopwatch away, you needed that yesterday...
Suggest you leave your saturday setup in the shed as well.
However, I do understand some seemingly like yourself just want to get an idea of pace, and lap times can be a rough indication, it's a shame we can't just freely discuss that without dragging up all the other crap.
So here's my lap times in this case, I hope you understand why I don't usually provide them.
1. 1:26.236
2. 1:23.922
3. 1:24.086
4. 1:25.102
5. 1:25.994
It runs about 1:22 dead in that config if I drive it straighter, if that helps.
The fact you are running 'stock', tells me you're trying to 'race' a car that granny has to be able to control reasonably safely on her trip to the supermarket in the rain or whatever factors have to be considered in your local vehicle registration laws and whatever manufacturers are willing to be liable for, etc, etc.
First thing you do is set the car up for the piece of road in front of you.
At the very least if you are not confident with adjustable suspension, then use one of the provided preconfigured setups.
Further, I'll give you this, in hope it excuses me from having to provide so much info in future.
I hope you understand.
👍
