Formula Gran Turismo Super Lap - Silverstone Grand Prix Circuit

[BMWcrazy]

I wouldn't mind knowing the answer to @TexRex 's question since I can no longer get the damn chip having golded the event prior to PD changing the prizes

It's random mishaps like this that make me develop a habit of backing up my game saves regularly.

I do the same but my last game save was over a month ago and so I will lose the chips acquired in the other seasonals...uuurgh! Would love some professionalism from PD in the first instance to avoid the consumer having to do this kind of thing!

2,800th , no ABS, 1:38, custom tuning, experimenting, wheel, paddle and I don't know this track at all,
not my favorite, it doesn't feel intuitive as after some 30 or so laps around it I still take the last chicane sector then tight corners leading to start/finish like a granny training for lake pedalo.

Welcome to the GTP Grannies Club. I brake out in a cold sweat around the last two corners.

I've been running @praiano63's tune with stock transmission to lessen wheel spin. So far I've managed a 1:34.132 with ABS 1 and no other aids (DS3). I might try tuned gears one if these days to see if I can handle it. It's rediculous how little grip this car has.

 

[Mini Stiggy]

Down to a 29.6 with a tune I put together. Still trying to figure out a good setup.

 

[TexRex]

@MisterWeary the only methods of acquiring paint chips I've had at my disposal are buying cars and completin seasonal events--the latter being the case regarding GT Chrome 010-W. I'm sorry the news isn't better.

This is a link to a 1:31.670 I done yesterday , not perfect lap by no means but quite pleased considering it was just after finishing a 14 hour shift lol. Tune is a prianno(Legend). Love this car and track Definitely be coming back to this soon on some days off

Tuned for the FGT Seasonal Event at Silverstone. Staying on the brakes late into the corner will cause nasty oversteer as you lift off the brakes. Try braking a little earlier and just use the brakes to scrub some speed, not to stop the car. Also, if you are struggling with wheel spin or using a DS3, I recommend using TCS1 until you learn better throttle control.

what do i need to win in Career mode to get this as a gift.

 

[WRXWagonFan]

.33.9 with ds3.....

Mixed suspension, mixes gearbox, LSD mixes as well...everything is mixed, specially my gearbox. I was aiming for killing the damn wheel spin, even tho I've TC2, low LSD I've manage somehow to put all together!
Here's the setup for ds3 players, hope it will help you improve you're time...

(I'm driving TC2, ABS1 and controller sensitivity -1)

Ride height
50/50
SR- 18.50/19.85
Dampers compression 7/9
-----////--Extension 9/7
Anti roll bar 4/6
Camber angle 0/0
Toe angle -13/0.06
Brake balance 7/8
Gearbox
First drag to 5.500 then to max speed 240kmh/149mph then adjust the gears:
1. 5.882
2. 4.335
3. 3.452
4. 2.795
5. 2.350
6. 1.990
7. 1.725

Final gear 3.295/3.300

Drivetrain 9/5/11
Downforce 700/900

NOTE:
Be4 y'all apply this setup, first change oil!


So....on this setup is bit tweaking needed, it depends on driving style. Car is stil bit nervous exiting the corners, but just release the throttle a bit and then max it out on the very exit of the corner, or, if you want to minimize the wheel spin out of the corners, just shift one gear up when you accelerate out of the corner, and when you make it out of the corner shift down to gain max acceleration...

Have fun

+1 to this tune! I was 0.079 away from gold and tried this tune, 1st run with this and I get gold with a time of 1:39.717! Thanks!

I am going to delete all of my friends on my list because I want to concentrate on my ghost car than having blue lines all over the track and I am very sorry to do this.

hmmm,
2mil for a paint chip...
Pass.

Not to mention the new silverstone layout sucks....
so does the latest "bus-stop" at Spa.

All the F1 tracks are slowly being ruined.
At least that's NOT PD's fault for a change....

Go to seasonal and enter as you enter sign out of psn as the track shows up it will ask you to sign in cancel it and proceed to load up your ghost do your laps and when you improve sign back in to load your time stops all the blue lines showing up but allows you to have your ghost but once you sign in to load your time the lines will appear bk on the track so you have to repeat the process again saves on deleting friends

Sorry to hear that -but it's understandable.

I'll still consider you a friend though.

EDIT: A solution from @skyline1683 .....of all people; The only person yet, who has deleted me.
(I'm sure there was a valid reason for that.)

Sorry roweer I had done it for gt academy as ironically you was the name and a few others that was always flashing across my screen and blocking my brake points .

There's 4/5 secs that you can be better or even faster. It's max downforce so try be bit braver on some corners and try faster!!

Wow. I am 200 something in the world and am surprised that there are plenty of people ahead of me using traction control. This is probably the one car in the game where it could possibly be beneficial to run TC on racing hards I figure. People doing low 1:30.xxx using traction control...on wheels, not just DS3s. BS.

Kind of beginning to get this car dialed in, though. Have only driven it once and hate Silverstone, so I'm pretty happy with the time from taking a crack at it for a little bit last night. Time to start messing with spring rates. Stock ones are not cutting it. Especially the front. Can already feel it just from driving it for a second time. It is a blast, though. A little less rear traction than the 97T, but I think that is mostly due to having five gears within a spectrum where the Lotus has three. So, naturally, they're going to be shorter. It may have 200# less torque, but lower gears are torque multipliers and the FGT has that on it's side. Going to calculate what the FGT puts for torque to the ground with my ratios later today. Am curious now.

This car is far less twitchy and easier to control than the Lotus, though. Pretty obvious this thing is going to fly once I straighten the setup out. The lotus I was used to and have been driving it for months before the spa TT.

Top30 wheel, only one from Croatia is or was 30th when I watched the rankings few days ago.

Easy?! It is, you can try best you're time on a ds3 then write you're opinion!

On a controller hmmm worry hard but on a wheel easy!

Solid opinion!

You are sorely mistaken, sir. What would make a wheel easier or more consistent to do cars like this over a DS3? How can you be more consistent with either with ABS? I don't understand. GT6 hasn't quite gotten to the point where a wheel is totally necessary. It is still too much of an arcade style game to harp on ds3 vs wheel.

All you have to do for max lock angle is move the stick a half inch in either direction. I play with a British guy from time to time and he still uses his D-pad! He is consistent. Consistency is all in your brain and motor functions. I have a small brain injury, so sure, it can be tough sometimes to stay consistent...but it is all decision making and I come from Karting. So repetition and muscle memory is my saving grace for when I can't think clearly enough. I do all the TTs on MMJ (M means medical because I have to) and have a TBI lol. If I can...the complainers about wheel users should be thrown out. DS
This is what I hear from DS3 users - "I can't compete in the time trials with wheel users". People who finish on the top 500 or so play a LOT. If not, they're pretty good with a particular car or cars. It takes loads of practice. I must log 30-40 hours a week on GT6 (sadly haha). I do all these times in the state mentioned as I have no choice, so people with a clear head on an Atari controller would be making crap excuses.

If you are accustomed to and good with a wheel...you'll be at least semi-consistant. At the same time, if you're accustomed to and good with a DS3, you'll at least be semi-consistent. Keep in mind that with cars like these, some of us are running wheel lock settings below 500*...but again, ds3 users only have to move their thumb a half inch.

People coming from wheels who make comparisons by testing a ds3 and vis versa from a ds3 to wheel...they're piss poor comparisons. Whichever you are switching to test...you don't use it regularly. So, no kidding the latter is slower to you. The guy I mentioned who uses the D pad runs the 97T all the time and he beats wheels users regularly. The d pad.

Internet banality.

 

[Le_Manuz]

if i am correct,
yesterday top ranking was on DS3 with analog stick and no aid except abs

 

[332i]

Another thing to remember is that there are tens of thousands of wheel users who cannot crack 1:35-1:40. Yet there are plenty of DS3 users ahead of that and in the aforementioned grouping as well.

You're also going to get more serious and better players/drivers using wheels. That is inevitable. I wouldn't play any driving game without a wheel, but that is just me. I guess I approach driving games more seriously...along with many others? Which further pushes the point that wheels are not as much of an advantage as people think. A lot of it just comes down to solid driving and the way you think/perceive what you're looking at. So...I bought one. And so can anyone else. Broke is no excuse. Been there. Save up, buy a g25 or g27 for cheap, if you think you're at such a disadvantage. I have a g27. Buy one used, if you have to.

This is like wheel users complaining about people who have triple monitor setups - enhances experience, but doesn't make you a hell of a lot faster in GT6. By seconds? Of course not. Just like a good ds3 users shouldn't be seconds behind a good wheel user. People like immortal and beau would probably be high up the list on DS3s, if they weren't using wheels. Either way, they have the stuff. The setups, the smarts, the skill, etc. The total package IMO when it comes to this stuff.

Yeah, I wouldn't worry too much about it being too easy with wheel. And I know for fact that driving with DS don't take as much energy as driving with wheel, I mean after 2 hour stint my hands are really tired and sore, and I'm most likely sweating like a pig. So at least DS users have an advantage as they can lay on their back, relax and let them fingers do the job.

And yeah, don't settle whit "I can't be as fast as wheel users" attitude or you won't get any better. Just do as many laps as you can and I bet your input control will get better! And yeah, I remember driving cars like minolta and such with DS on GT 3 and 4(tc off using X as throttle) and it was doable as I learnt proper throttle control. So don't let negative toughts in your head and just keep on pushing!

And yeah, I have tried out couple of tunes made with DS and they don 't seem to apply with wheel so my guess is they won't go other way around either. So it's way different driving with DS, shouldn't make it any slower tough, not by much any way.

 

[Growling]

Got to disagree.

It's all in the tune. There may be plenty of aliens much faster than me in the world, and that's because they can string their perfect lap together.

I can get almost all corners on a TT as fast as an alien, I just can't put them together in one perfect lap.

My car, with the tune I'm using won't go through abbey flat.

 

[CBH]

True.

Do you really need the ghost? I turn it off to get a fully clear vision in front of the car. Turn the track map on and glance over at it on the straights. The red arrow is your current lap and the yellow arrow is your ghost lap.

 

[t_wilson01]

So at least DS users have an advantage as they can lay on their back, relax and let them fingers do the job.

Then what are you waiting for? Hurry and get your DS3 so you can lay on your back, relax and let your fingers do the work like some of us do. It's human nature to think that others have it easier than us for one reason or another.

I'm not looking for a discussion on wheel vs controller nor do I want to derail the thread so I won't comment on this topic anymore, but ask yourselves this: what motivated you to get a wheel?

Well of course you want a wheel for your driving game, right? And the fact that my parents bought me it for christmas present years a go ( I think I have had the GT 4 for half a year at that point) helped a lot of making the decision to get one...

And yeah, I would not go back to DS even if my wheel went broke, I'd find a cheap second hand wheel and pick up from there, I bet it would take me at least a year to get even close to my present times with wheel... I think...

And yeah, it really doesn't bother me how much each person gives out energy trying to master this game, I was just trying to give Konnichiwa my perspective and I sort of enjoy the feeling of getting exhausted it gives a certain feeling of accomplishment I think... And yeah, I believe one can get pretty exhausted driving with DS also, the amount of adrenaline is quite staggering sometimes and I bet one can get there with DS also...

Should I replace your current tune with this one or post 2 separate ones?
