Think this is the longest I've ever seen between two posts in here . Hope you guys aren't suffering too much from the festivities. And had a great start to a Happy New Year.

I have been busy trying, really trying.., to write my assignments. I think GT6 is losing some players recently and I am not surprised when they rehash old events..

Happy new year to you too. Hope you had a great christmas.

 

[Thorin Cain]

I did thanks. Hope you did too .

I hear you. I remember the same stage in GT5s life span, same tracks, same pp, same cars on the leaderboards . Still enough competition around to keep things interesting for some of us PS3 only players 👍.

I have been playing a lot of GTA 5, The Crew and Starwars on the PS4 recently. I will be putting out new tunes this coming week so hopefully that will make this threat a little more interesting.

Putting Time Trials and Seasonal Races from 2 weeks to 4 weeks did not help either. What I want is GT Sports to get released so I can get my PS4 out again.

1:18.579 after 2 laps in your Lotus Elise 111R '04 (500PP SS) for the Non-Racing Car Super Lap (500PP SH) I only change the final gear to suit the track, she is a bit tail happy for me, if you put the power down to quick in some corners just after the apex you lose a bit of time because I can not get the power down early enough, your car is very good Shaun other than the tail happy car and if I can remove that it can go a lot faster for me 👍.

Thanks for letting me know. I have added this car to the list. I may have tuned it this way intentionally as I liked the rear to be a little light. The Lotus Type 72 should be better if you want a car that isn't tail happy.

I have recently acquired Starwars for the PS4. It is a very good game and excellent for multiplayer enjoyment. It is well worth the money for the ultimate edition too. I think it cost my wife £25 as she brought me it as a christmas present.

Ive been dealing with some major life crap.
But Christmas was good the kids got spoiled as they should.
The new PS4 is proving annoying, requirements for profiles to use a controller. No way to change local profile pictures w/out making a PSN account which I dont want to do for a 4 and 6 y/o.
But the graphics are great the kids love the new games and my wife and I are enjoying Diablo III together when the kids are sleeping

I hope life improves for you soon. I am glad you had a good christmas though and the kids enjoyed it.

What games do you have for the PS4 then? Anything multiplayer that we might see you on?

I have uncharted 4 and diablo III for online multiplayer but my current play time is pretty limited. No racing games yet.

From what I can tell, this game is good to start with but not so good for the long game. I don't think we are missing out too much.

2:17.480 using your Honda HSC '03 (540PP SS) for the TT at Bathurst but I have made it into a into a 500PP version, I have made a few changes to the tune the ballast weight and the power limiter and the gearbox, she fly's around the track and it handles so well for me and it can easily get me in the 2:16s if I had made less mistakes, thank you Shaun and @Otaliema for a bloody good car .

No worries at all. It is a great car and your time is very good indeed. I still have to do these latest seasonal events.. Hopefully I will get round to them eventually.

Oh, there is a small influx of new stuff coming your way.. Enjoy.

Sorry the tunes took so long to be uploaded folks. Christmas was upon me too fast and then the new year happened. I hope you all enjoy these tunes and I will try and get some more done ASAP. Since there is no update on the GT Sport release date, it is very probably you will get a few more tunes out of me yet.

If I haven't said it yet, Happy new year to you all and I wish you good fortune for upcoming year!

 

[CBH]

The best I can do with your Honda HSC '03 (540PP SS) 500PP version at Bathurst is a 2:16.823 it can do a low 2:16 with minor change now to your suspension.

 

[TripleE63]

Awesome tune Shaun! This Opel handles magnificently on the "Ring" and is good for gold. I only changed the final gear to 3.850 to suit the track.

I use this car for the Beginners' Level Non-Racing Car Challenge (450PP SH), all I did was a tyre change only on the car, the Volkswagen Sambabus Typ 2 (T1) '62 did not let me down for a nice win .

Looks like a fun win indeed. Nice to see a lanky tall car winning at such low PP.

Thank you both for testing these cars and coming away with great wins.

The SRT Tomahawk S Vision Gran Turismo (734PP SS) with the Limiter down to 650PP works great for the new Expert Level Seasonal.

I used your BMW M4 M Performance Edition (Flashing Light Edition) (600PP SS) for the Expert Level Seasonal, at 600PP this car is very good .
