Thanks! Don't totally give up though, you have two weeks to slice some time off the clock.
Yeah, I hate to say it, but you are probably at a bit of disadvantage w/ the DS3. Right out of the box, the 1st key area, the up hill snake has to be run wide open. You have to snap the wheel just right to pull it off. I tried it w/ the DS3 and couldn't even come close. All I can say is dig deep else where. Not that I'm a big fan of PD's exploitation of the need for the e- brake (handbrake) to be competitive. But, if your not using it you will probably need to, to cut the time you need to Gold.
Again, don't give up! You can do it!
Thanks.
Yes, the up hill snake is the worst, in the beginning i was breaking before and in the middle of the hill and lost all my speed, but after some hours i learned that if i just release the trottle right before the hill, and hit the trottle again in the middle, then i gained much more speed on the long straight.
I'm gonna try again to day, and see if there is other places on the track i can save 822 of a second (decisecond?)
There is some corners i know i can take in higher speed, but i have to figure out the perfect racing line, and i need some luck to pull this off. I have never used the handbrake in Gran Turismo, because it seams that the cars are losing all the grip with use of the handbrake.
^^^ So I`ll give it a try today.
A DS3 user...
Good luck, it is doable, but some of us need more rounds than others, bronze and silver is also a very good results, but gold will reward us with the Nissan GT-R.
Really a DS3 can "easily" get gold, now getting into the 15s would be a pain.
To get a gold with a DS3, try TC at 1 or 2. I did it at 0 but I use the analog stick for throttle, I would imagine with using the "X" button TC would be needed.
Short shift whenever you need too, it will help oversteer. This car can take it. Short shifting is jumping to up a gear ( in this car 3rd to 4th ) when the car gets oversteering. The taller gear will give less torque and less wheel spin. 3rd gear was the tricky gear for me.
I recommend setting the controller sensitivity to 4 or 7 ( I use 7 ).
Next the car has a lot of grip (more than you can "feel" with a DS3), brake later than you would think. This not only is faster but adds a bit of mid corner push/understeer to help combat the oversteer.
Download and watch a top replay, you will need to lift at Eau Rouge and Blanchimont, outside of that you can do anything a wheel driver can do.
Take note of their lines and brake points. I find using a DS3 gives me some odd choices regarding lines but once I started racing with wheel guys I copied them. Watch replays from you driving view and with all the UI HUD on.
I did 2 valid laps, the second was 2:20.0XX .
5 laps actually, my controller shift button is broken so on the first 3 laps every time I changes to 4th or 5th it would drop to 2nd or 1st. Got a newer controller and ran the 2 clean laps.
So really, the DS3 can get gold just as easily and with time to spare.
Thank you for the advice. but i'm not buying the easy part
Well, looks like I owe some of you an apology. Earlier I said this event was an easy Gold without taking into consideration my DS3 friends. I sincerely apologize for not taking into consideration the difficulty level of this event with the DS3 when I made my initial statement. I guess I just took it for granted that if I could do it, with a wheel, others could do it also. I was not thinking it was going to be this hard for the DS3 users. Again, I apologize for my earlier statements and can greatly sympathize with you all trying this with a DS3. The only real advice I can give at this point is to just relax and take your time, you have two weeks to get this done. When you start to feel yourself get to the point of real frustration, take a break for awhile and just clear your head and come back to it a bit later. Keep at it and don't give up, if at first you don't succeed, there is always tomorrow. Good luck you guys, I'm pulling for you and know you can do it, your perseverance will pay off eventually, trust me.
Your apology is accepted.
This could be the second car i'm not able to win in GT6, (the first is Ayrton Senna's kart
) i saw the replay of the
2:14.741 by
Crankz96_ and i was thinking, holly cow, there is no way this could be done with a DS3. (although i don't know the best time
achieve with DS3)
But luckily for me, i'm not aiming for times like that, i would be very happy if i could win gold and the Nissan GT-R.
. My best lap is now 2:21.822 but that's it, it seems like i can't get any lower than that 
. I was just transferring my tune from the base model to the RJN. Didn't think I'd be showing them to anyone
