NO NO NO, DO NOT THANK ME!!!
All credits go to :
@nowcontrol This post, and this and this and
@Ninners posted this and
@Joerg Pointed it out to me.
@GTP_CargoRatt had his suspicions
@lisanorm saw it here and
@Iceman220 posted it
@Rit saw it

Please, @SWR_WeiTN do not thank or credit me.
I only posted that the cheater is gone.

I would say more like inside knowledge. I knew it was coming, just didn't know exactly when and also if someone was going to be brave enough to try it knowing what the consequences would be. I will say this though, you can expect more of the same in the near future if things go according to plan.

1:32.04(7?) for 168th at the moment. Highest I've ever gotten to in a seasonal although I know there's over a week left. If I can stay above 350ish it'll be my best finish ever.

Tried a couple days ago... Silverstone has always been a really miserable track for me (lines are less than stellar on Abbey and Ireland and that final Luffield section messes me up good). But, that Gold Chrome paint was a worthy cause for me to face my slight dread.

With some practice, on the fourth attempt, I managed to scrape Gold by literally half a second... 1:40.504. I tuned for quite a bit more understeer with stiffer springs and more downforce in the rear, but now that I've got some "decent" lines figured out, I think with some better tweaks to the suspension, I can nab a less laughable lap time.

You can triumph on even your worst tracks.

Ok, I'm currently using @DaBomb330 (thank you very much) tune (DFGT) and it seems quite fast and relativily easy to hanle. I think I was little faster with this than praiano tune, but praianos tune is one to go with if you are strugglin with handling.

Made 3 laps in 1.31:2xxx yesterday and only seems like a matter of a clean lap to make it under .31 and after that who knows what... I think I did my current PB (1.31.2xx) with accel sens on 12 but I think I could be faster if I'd learn to drive it on 15 like in the original tune, I can also be wrong... Do you guys think it would be faster with higher accel sens?

And thanks for @Weider for sharing

What a difference a sorted tune makes, tried @DaBomb330 tune and found over 1.5sec compared to my basic tune. Down to 1:32.137 last night with the DS3 default setup, thanks Weider for the recommendation, awesome tune, worked straight out of the box.👍 The stock car felt like a skating donkey on Thursday. Thanks also to everyone that posted tunes, every tenth earned on this TT will be something to celebrate. Got to be brave, got to be brave, don't lift.

 

[ODB]

Got to be brave, got to be brave, don't lift.

Yeah, dont lift and just hit the gas pedal way too early drifting out of corners, very simple stuff

So "suspicion", wasn't a bad choice of words.

I've been thinking about that psn name, i would almost think it is done on purpose.
A test from "hackers". Make polyphone "aware" of a problem.But it is just a guess.
I don't mind mods for GT6, just not in online ranks.I would like to have a modded car in my game, just for fun.(I did some myself in San Andreas pc-game.( cleo dragtrack and san fierro camera mod))
I've seen a '66 beetle in GT6 with wide rear tires, looks better then what we can do now with the original data.

Sorry for the off-topic post.

After 2 weeks away from the game I've forgotten how to drive, though admittedly I'm not used to this car anyway.
Silver after 4 full laps & around 5 restarts for spinning (plus another for flipping the car over).
I'll have a proper go at it either tomorrow or later tonight.

Edit: Watched the replay of Immortal & had another go. Very next lap, 1:39.974 for position 7,467 & some gold paint. It turned out that I had been braking far too much.

 

[t_wilson01]

I think I'm done here. My best lap is far from pretty, but improving on it will take me far too much effort for what could possibly be a very small gain. All things considered, I'm pleased with the lap time I achieved even though it will probably not be good enough for the top 500.

Now there's a consistant guy: I'm sitting at p392 and above me on p389 is a "Roadrunner-MTK" and on p390 is a "MTK-Roadrunner"

Still fail to see the justification for having more than one COMPETITIVE account though...

I want to know also why some players have more than one account for a TT, and what do you get out of doing this.

Hey Roweer1 it feels good now because I am always No.1 on my friends leaderboard.

 

[ODB]

Yeah, really seem like some people just have too much time on their hands

 

[nebneb1978]

Well a 1:31.007 with my DS3. Very tough event for us controller users I'll will be interested to see if any DS3 users can crack the 1:29.xxx barrier I will be happy with a low 1:30.xxx Come on @Ed_Night I'm using @DaBomb330 suspension & @praiano63 gear ratios with some minor tweaks of my own. I'm really enjoying this one even though it is hard to even come close to the wheel users.

You mean like you and me? (Constantly posting here resently)

I have 2 accounts but I'm never as high as that in the rankings.
For me it's a matter of location.
A PS3 in 1 town & a different PS3 in another. This is purely so that I can play more often than I could if I only had 1.

 

[Roweer1]

Too much time at hand at Work then. I'm blessed with few and flexible working hours these days.

@S_Bridge : That's actually a plausible explanation.👍 Haven't thought of that!

I don't quite follow. You can activate two PS3s on one account. I currently do this as I spend a few days in two different parts of town. If what you want is two different save files, then that's a another story.

I was already using the 2 different machines/accounts before I ever wondered if it was possible to use the same account for both.
Now that I've ended up with 2 different saves without really planning ahead, I don't want to lose either of them.
I would prefer if everything I'd done in the game had all contributed to one save so that I would have a bigger garage.

 

[Sidebrowns]

S_Bridge you could load your save on a USB stick each time you're going to the other place upload it there and repeat. But I could see how that'd be easy to forget and then be stuck. I know I would forget.

EDIT: Improved by just a hundredth or so tonight after a few hours so I think that's it for me. 1:31.7XX and just over 150th place at the moment.

On the plus side my new fast lap is much less... scruffy haha.

I'm used to the situation, it's become just a part of playing the game for me now.
A bit worried that this has got in the way of the thread about the seasonal event.

 

[Sidebrowns]

Not at all bud , have you seen some of the posts that litter these threads?

Well done mate. 👍 My goal of staying within a second of you is nothing but a dream now.

 

[Sidebrowns]

Wilson, I'm sure there'll be plenty of trials to come where I'm begging for a miracle to catch your times! That's the fun in it all, isn't it? Hopefully they'll throw us some TTs without the crazy HP the FGT has that also don't allow that damn GSX-R.

[nExx]

I also had a go at the FGT Time Trial challenge. I find it really hard to hit the apex, because everything happens so damn fast!
Still managed a 01:33:018. Exactly 0,154 seconds faster than @t_wilson01 . The challenge is on, mate!

Just when I was at peace with a lap that I have no clue how it came together, you try to pull me back in.

edit: that's a nice looking lap you got there compared to mine. 👍

Impressive running a live lap in front of the camera! I'd choke for sure lol.

I had to turn the track map and ghosts off so I wouldn't panic when I was ahead towards the end. Almost even turned off the timing it was getting so bad.

 

[MarchingSaint]

1.37.167 2746° overall.
sadly one of my best.

There's an easier way to avoid being distracted by ghost lines and sector times, just turn off the TV and let the force guide you. Maybe then I'll get a better lap than you.
