The Audi corner's like a house fly, and doesn't have the high downforce, should be the car to beat here,

If its high speed rotation your struggling with in the GT lower the rear aero, if its low speed make the toe points closer, should loosen up quite nicely,

It really doesn't skip a beat if you treat it right! I'm really enjoying it, might have to sign with the Audi and run it against your ford and see what happens

Yeah I've tried little bits and pieces, I might just have to spend a bit more time with it I reckon
 
how do you guys post youtube video screens on the planet. as a host I feel inadequate not being able to do it?!? Next question would be converting Ps3 replays to youtube so I can upload those too?

-Posting next FIA GT3 round on the FIA GT3 op Tomorrow Night for this Sunday's event!
 
Well someone bumped me onto the grass because I'd actually got the thing stopped but into turn 2 I was removed from their path...

Later in the lap I slide into jonny and knocked him off - I'm sorry man, no brakes and I got squeezed out of the line and couldn't slow down in time...

Also, Dave when did you put your foot down at the start of the race? Because you seem to go before Me and Joe and I went exactly on the start line
 
There was a lot of bad driving in general.

Is Wilfred actually apart of this series? Had multiple bumps with him.

I also feel the GTR needs to be re-looked at. It's great up until !40+mph then everyone smokes it in the straights. Watch the reply, in the draft cars blew passed me, but I could only creep on them. Some of you had your transmission set to 189mph, where my GTR was only 178pmh, which means I should have some acceleration on you. I didn't.

The ballast of the car makes it have a turning lag as well. Horrible in those chicanes, but I can accept my car won't triumph at every track. I just felt like no competition in the straights.

Sorry to whoever it was I squeezed out, probably plux, jonny, and racefan. I was fighting my own car let alone you guys on track. I didn't want to ruin the race anymore, so I quit out.
 
Higher you were a genius on the brakes and once I'd opened the gap I felt like I was helping you each lap with a little bit of tow. I was going really fast and you were sticking onto me better.

I was only doing around 175-80mph on the straight but I could get there really fast.

I don't know what happened into turn 1 when I came up on you, wilfred and jonny(?), the car just went from underneath me... I broke really early and it just went across the grass. I could tell I had a great car though as I could keep catching you guys up but it seemed like a couple of guys didn't get the endurance nature of this race as some of the overtakes I saw were just soo risky. I mean even with a busted brake I was trying to keep it on the track and not in the back of other cars...

Hey Joe, empty my place on the list, I'd like to concentrate only on the JSTC GT400 for now... I can't follow 2 champs...

Yeah,I hope that wasnt me, I had a bit of trouble with my brakes at one point, I don't know what happened it just kept rolling, and I think I may have accidentally knocked into someone. Not to sure if it was you though but I'm sorry if it was haha
 
I meant the very first chicane Jordy, when I was in second and got shoved onto the grass dropping me to 8th/9th(?)
 
Just watching the replay, need to say sorry to racefan, passed him returning to the track at Ascari and didn't hear a bump/slow down from my POV, but watching from 3rd person seems like I pretty certainly lagbashed him. Also sorry if I collided with Jordy on the 1st lap, you got on the brakes way sooner than I expected you would so just had to dive onto the grass.

@ Joe; as far as recording from GT5, the cheapest way is using one of these from your component out: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002H3BSCM/?tag=gtplanet-20
You can get the quality pretty high if you juggle settings a bit.
 
Haha I honestly can't remember now, but if you did, it's absolutely no problem. I was trying not to get on the brakes too early but I knew it would take longer than it usually would due to cold tyres!
 
Sorry if i collided with anyone i was struggling with the vette
If you guys are alright with me racing. Then joe can sign me up as i found it great fun.

I went twice :lol:

I thought you guy's were going at the F1 finish line, but didn't so I tucked back in line, :lol:

But I'm fairly sure I went at the same time you guy's did but I spent a lot of time making sure 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears were perfect for rolling start launch,
I didn't have any overlap on Joe until after the pit wall ended,

I also pride my self on my starts, standing with false starts or rolling, I have never had a false start penalty, Its something I worked on because I got extremely annoyed by expecting a start point to happen and missing it because its earlier then I thought, or what ever, MY STARTS USED TO BE HORRIBLE!!! :lol:

And yes, Join us Will,
 
how do you guys post youtube video screens on the planet. as a host I feel inadequate not being able to do it?!? Next question would be converting Ps3 replays to youtube so I can upload those too? i can record it from my perspective and post it on you tube on tuesday or if every one msg me any good bits i can try to do a highlight real

-Posting next FIA GT3 round on the FIA GT3 op Tomorrow Night for this Sunday's event!

Haha oh god they are good aren't they!

Okay, so I went out to Laguna again and run a fair few laps.

Went out in the Audi first and ended up laying down a 1:21.836! Not too bad, but really felt like it had more in it

So I went out in my GT that I had out there today, and squeezed as much as I could out of it to manage a 1:21.630. But that felt like I was wringing its neck, might be able to get a little more with a couple of touch ups on the tune

Then I went out on a mission again in the Audi, with a couple if little changes to LSD and trans, and with a flyer of a lap got in a 1:20.780!
The crazy thing is this car still feels like it has more in it!

Let us know how you guys progress! :)

Im in my lobby now 3 lap in and im high 20s
 
I just watched the replay of the start, joe had a good car length or 2 over me before I crossed the start line, good a good tug and gearing helped alot I guess,
 
Yea and I love it so much I think I want to buy another 1 as back up so I don't miss a race, HA! :sly:👍
 
As for my start I was laughing all the way out of turn 2, I seen you sideways and I was like GO!!! you big piece of snot! :lol:

Who's coming to my after race party?

Here's whats happening :lol:


Hahahahaha, and this,



Also Joe, You are right in wanting the Big Mac stealth, Weigh's in at 1100kg, so it should be easily spec'd, as for the SLS Stealth, 1465kg, WHY CAN'T THESE CARS BE AVAILABLE AS DLC!!! GAH IT KILLS ME SEEING THAT SLS!!!
