Feel free jb TY.
 
How many miles you put on your M3s clock?
I was shocked when i see 1300 miles on it and i dont practice much so i guess the rest of you have racked up a fair few.

I'm not sure about the IS-F, but I saw the TOCA Volvo the other day and it had 112 miles on it, the season hasn't even started yet, I don't think it will get as much as my IS-F, because the races are shorter. The suzuka races combined would have been over 100 miles.
Monza together was 126 miles, yup, I'm bored.:lol:

johnboy1112

As I said in my lounge last night, I'm stuggling in the 36's :(

I'm going to have another practice before race night, so hopefully
can improve a bit

Haha I will do bud

I'd just like to let ppl know that im filling the grid so if your faster then me I will try to move out your way and not hold you up as quickly as I can and if by somr miracle I am ahead of anyone dont worry im not counted so you'll still recieve the correct points :)
 
Yay, I've found my braking point for turn 1 and I'm now in the mid-35's. Now that I've sorted that bit, I'm hopeful of more improvement

off-topic...

This is probably not news to everyone, but it was to me. The premium Nissan Silvia (the one that you can RM) has a full-on hood/bonnet view! :cool:

Pretty much every other driving game out there nowadays has this, why oh why haven't PD seen fit to include it in GT5? :dunce:

I'm sure there are some others with hood view, and some which look like they have hood view.
 
akmuq

Have i missed something? i take it culk your coming back in.
 
Finally got some practice in and got a 1:35.2, RacerPaul then said the Lexus was terrible, so I got the Camaro, and went a tenth of a second faster with a quick setup, it's better in every single way, it can get through corners, keep tyres longer then one lap and it doesn't oversteer or understeer. The only thing it loses out on is top speed and torque, and it probably won't do 0-60 in under 3 seconds.

But still, it's way better then the IS-F, can I change?

Heres a list of some of the tracks being considered for Season 2 we have tried to select the wider tracks for S2 any yay or nays??💡

1.Monza
2.Grand Valley Speedway
3.Fuji GT
4.Suzuka
5.Circuit De La Sarthe 2009
6.Nurburgring GP/D
7.Nurburgring Nordschleife
8.Tokyo R246
9.Laguna Seca Raceway.
10.High Speed Ring(maybe change weather?)
11.Road Course Indy.
12.Autumn Ring.

Think Monaco will prove a no no,(sorry Akmuq) to much aggro this season there, and i fear my much loved Tsubuka will be carnage aswell but we will see.:nervous:
Anything ive missed??

How about monza no chicanes, its not as much fun but would bypass that 1st cnr carnage :( plus I know its not proper racing but using the green bit on the outside of the second chicane seems to ease accident rates online

Ok Culk will look into that good suggestion.👍 Cutting the second chicane(using the green bit) cant be encouraged though mate its a mega time saver, this was the only reason we used weak pens this season here so imo wouldnt like to see that, if i recall i thought Monza was relatively incident free considering it was our first race?? Will look into Monza no chicanes all the same budd.
