Manual is the way. It will be boggy as poo if you get the auto and you can wheel spin a manual better. So for those stereotypical american race at the lights you will do better with a manny tranny, i mean think about it, would you want an "easy 'tranny' "

 

[berty1979]

Ok ellis, lets stop all the tranny talk we all know what you are reffering to!

To anyone who complains about GT5 check this out, its Suzuka by the way

Thats the point, the only way to get better is to practice and learn the car rather than relying on ballast or anything else.
You were improving loads then your wheel went

Im setting 1:07:6s average so im doing well.

 

[berty1979]

Thats great mate, if you can stay on the track the whole race and pit intelligently you could have your best finish of S2!

 

[Rich S]

I;ve been racing X1s again instead of practicing.....you know you need to spend more time in real life when your not doing your GAME homework. lol

 

[smithaz]

Man im not feeling well today, hopefully im a bit better for the race. On another note, anyone watching race of champions, theres live streaming online from 6.

 

[berty1979]

Rich- Ahahah, your so right. You got detention

Smithaz- Not watching it, I am attempting to improve my pace at indy, and failing
Whats up with you mate, is it stimulant related?

 

[Silent7Sniper7]

Would you need someone as a pace car by any chance? I have a FGT but hate racing them.

 

[berty1979]

Thanks for the offer 👍 but we quite often have 16 starters.

 

[Ellis]

Looking forward to the race tomorrow 👍 lets hope that pesky first corner does not cause problems

I won't be able to make the race since I'm finally getting to celebrate my birthday (I got sick on my actual birthday). A few friends and I are going to a kart track, I can show them that my virtual racing skills do apply in reality .

However, I won't be continuing in the FGTC, since I've missed too many races to be competitive and I still have to do those 2 elusive 24 hour races . It was a fun run guys, best of luck on the classic racing! 👍 Thanks for putting this all together for us Brett!

 

[berty1979]

Ellis- It has caused a couple in practice but the threat of serious penalties should make people take that little extra care!

Musolino- Happy birthday bro, we swill see you at GVS 👍 your left foot braking skills should help you to win, good luck

 

[ENTERSANDMAN13]

That sucks man!

 

[Ellis]

Sad to see you go man. Don't shy away from mixed racing whenever we do it. Seems less and less nowadays though . Have a good time tomorrow or today or whenever

 

[berty1979]

Whoa dude, you must have added that last bit.
Sad to see you go mate, your a good competitor and thanks for helping to make the FGTC cool come join us for practice/mixed racing any time
Happy racing 👍

 

[NMusolino]

Thanks guys. Any car reccomendations for the 24 hour races? Preferrably German ones

 

[berty1979]

Muso- I havent done them yet mate, if you want to make competitive use the standard sauber and use racing hards. Run the start of the race to make sure your not blitzing them too much.

Ellis-Can skyrim be used online?

 

[Rich S]

This highlights the true consequence of contact in racing (not good.) Even a slight tap from behind & its over. Its puzzling the lack of damage modeling in GT5 compared to the initial advertising which showed complex damage.

 

[berty1979]

Rich- I have seen this mentioned before about the damage modelling, maybe it used too much of the PS3's capabilities or something so they toned it down. See a few posts back at PB's clip of old F1 games and be thankful
One little touch in F1 and you have to pit or retire mate thats why my heart is in my mouth whenever Jensen starts duelling with Hamilton irl.

PB- Its your timezone man, you dont get to practice with us too often
Hope your neighbourhood is quieter than the other night mate

 

[Rich S]

so what are all your fastest times? Mine is 1.05.4. I heard Pagey had a 1.05.1. Thats very good indeed, almost a second up on the first season. Too bad I wasnt around back then. Maybe would have had an easier go of it.

 

[berty1979]

I am slow here compared to the top 5, but real easy on the tyres. Ill never win this one but might just make a podium if I dont get taken out.
1.06.9xx Full tank of fuel.

Are you doing a 1 stop race?

 

[berty1979]

I cant answer that but have a 3, 2 and 1 stopper in my strategy, depends on my postition after the first 5 laps. If I have a good start this will change my strat . I always plan a strat and an option.

 

[Ellis]

Ellis-Can skyrim be used online?

Nah man single player only. But there is so much to do you wont need it

 

[berty1979]

Cheers, it looks good 👍

 

[Ellis]

It is.I mean go into a town, speak to someone, they will give you something to do. I mean im nowhere in the main quest because you get so easily sidetracked

 

[berty1979]

The guy in the review was saying that you can play it for ages without doing the main story. Jeez, thats 5 games on my list now. I had better get this job. Find out monday.

 

[Ellis]

You wont have a job if you get skyrim. I try not to play it because if i do i have to spend ATLEAST 3 hours on it. I just cant have that time at the moment

 

[berty1979]

If I got all 5 games on my list I wouldnt have even started all of them by this time next year so I am in no rush. Ill get some of them pre owned for £15, problem is i still like GT5 too much.
Im looking forward to todays battle, should be epic and I will have to fight hard to finish top 5.

 

[Ellis]

7th or 6th is my aim
