Enhance Your Skills - Race 11

[Boffin]

Suzuki Cappuchino. Now thats a car where the only performance is squeezed out by the driver.

Suzuka east

 

[holl01]

maybe a revisiting of london forward would be good, with a TVR Tamora

 

[Mad94d]

Ok. I'm thinking maybe Suzuka east with the TVR Tamora. I still want more suggestions though.👍

I did a 1'06.7xx in this weeks combo. Fairly happy with it. I might be able to shave off a few more hundredths.

 

[osrg]

Please god not the Tamora...... not on any circuit. That car, no.... that brand.... should never have seen the light of day on GT5P.

London Forward or something RWD low power on Suzuka or Suzuka East is what i'm thinking .......

 

[Synwraith]

If you really want to enhance people's skills, allow me to recommend the Lotus Elise MK1 at Suzuka (Suz East to a lesser degree), Hyperspeed and I were racing these on S3s with not much tuning and it was a real handful but huge fun at 550RWD Suz. A lot of skill is required to squeeze a good laptime from it, and it's a brilliant fun little car. Gotta watch that back end going into Spoon and turn 1.

Also, for the Sixaxis championship we were all driving the TVR Tuscan speed 6 at london Reverse, and even on pad we pretty much covered the top 10 on the leaderboard, so it really isn't that bad. If we were able to hit top times on a Sixaxis...

All the best

I think we really need a suzuka east combo[preferbly race 12], would keep it close, i also think we need a normal car for once, e.g integra/clio/evo

 

[Mad94d]

I think EYS 12 will be at Suzuka east. Car will be a RWD road car, i'm a big fan of the Lotus 111R but a any RWD car would be good.👍

 

[markyboy92]

Ford Mustang?

 

[Mad94d]

Yeah, that's a nice easy car. What do you guys think of Mustang at Suzuka East?

I like this idea 👍 or the F430

 

[cpp214]

+1 (We could use a little break after the Tuned Lotus, Amuse and Tuned Vette )

 

[The Outlaw]

Hmmm...If you guys choose that combo (mustang gt/suzuka east) I may have to join in for this round 👍

Gotta represent for the car that I own in real life

 

[markyboy92]

1'07.333
More to come, maybe 0.5 left.

 

[cpp214]

After 2.5 hours last night and another 2.5 tonight, I managed to take off about .8 and turn in a halfway respectable time. Just my opinion, but this may be as tough as the tuned lotus at Suz, at least for me. Is there a harder corner to take at high speeds than the right left kink to open the lap here at Eiger Reverse? For me, this is the toughest corner so far. Only now--after 5 hours--am I getting the hang of it.

Oh yeah, am I alone in thinking this, or should PD--in addition to car damage--also put spectator damage in GT5? After about 100 or so quick retry's, I found myself wanting to have a go at some of the camera-toting spectators that congregate near the entrance to the Eiger tunnel ... Just kidding

 

[Mad94d]

I'm thinking I start a new thread with a poll of cars to use at suzuka east for EYS 12. That way it won't be a biased choice(it never is, but I don't want to be accused of it.).

On the poll i'm thinking of putting Mustang, 111R, Tamora, F430, BMW Z4. Tell me anymore car's that would be good.👍 I'll start a poll in a different thread 24 hours from now.

 

[markyboy92]

I think a good idea could be the Clio sport so its like the IFTC race, although anyone will struggle to hit top 10 except dan.

 

[Mad94d]

Yeah, clio is a nice car to drive. It would definetely help that it was a round of the IFTC because that would give people a lot of different replays to learn from.👍

Added to my above post so I don't forget.

 

[spyrrari]

Has the BMW tii ever been in a tt ....cant remember,its a nice car to drive,very sporty but not very hard...think about it.


spyrrari.

 

[Boffin]

the 111r tuned is amazingly chuckable around the esses on S3s, I don't think much of the fun would have been taken away on S2s

 

[monoha]

I had a short session last night, after I finished with WRS25... and something is wrong with my car - it doesn't want to go in a straight line !

I wonder if some TC would help or a bit - or the ASM? Or maybe a bit more patient throttle?

Lets see what I can get out of it.... yikes

EDIT: my 100th post maybe I should get a new username title, hmm

 

[osrg]

Definately no.

75% of the competitors here won't even get inside the Top 100.

Hell, i'm not a bad steerer, have cut thousands of laps at Suzuka East and i am just inside the 100 and i'm only half a second down on Dan (P1). So to say we will struggle to get inside the top 10 gives you the title of understatement of the year Marky.....

To even find 5 hundredths in that car is a nightmare.

I'm with Spyrrari..... Tii is not a bad idea.

 

[markyboy92]

I think with practise any division 3 driver or above could make top 100, it doesnt matter because if your rank 1000 you will still need to post a replay, BMW sounds good but once again its not a normal road car.

 

[GTP_joeninety]

Thought I might give this event a go.
Wow what a loose unit that Vett is! Have not been to Eiger in months so it was quite refreshing to chase Holl0's ghost around the track for an hour.

Only got a 1,08.109 - going to throw another hour at it tonight before the up date.
Look out Ripping i'm coming for you!

 

[foxmulder9]

IS-F and 599 are seldom driven too.

:GROAN: not you too?? I have my hands full with foxmulder!! heh
seriously, good on ya joeninety, got to be in. 👍
Not having my greatest perfomance with this combo... competition is hot hot

 

[Mad94d]

I'm going to post a thread with a poll with these cars in it: Clio, Tamora, F430, Mustang, 111R, IS-F, 599, BMW tii, Z4. The circuit will be suzuka east. Please vote on the poll if you are competing. The winner of the pole is the combo we'll be using.👍

[Mad94d]

Time submitted.

Didn't get time to have a last run. Maybe a few hundredths left. But I've been really busy doing school assignments in the past few days, no time for GT5 what so ever. I've got 3 assignments due within the next two weeks. Oh well.

Replay coming tomorrow.

I'm all done...👍
