I'm very happy about it. I'm from Hungary, and we finally have a legit opportunity to take part in a REAL GT Academy, however, this rules are a JOKE. Racing Soft, Any tuning, SRF, makes the game behave like NFS, you just have to rape and rape and rape the car, like you have to with the x2010. If you get understeer, just give it more lock, and you also have more traction than in an F1 car.
After few days, i managed an 1:08,302, but i'm sure i can lower it just under 1:08, and the pros can do lower 1:07,xxx, or even better.
but this form of racing has nothing to do with real car control. Just turn in as fast and hard as you can.
My first timed lap witf SKID off was a 1:16 (and i felt it clean), but i couldn't belived someone already did a 1:11,7 on the hungarian Leaderboard, but after i turned my "skills" of, and started to **** the car, drive it like the x2010, I quickly lowered it to 1:09, and it wasn't even a perfect lap, looking at the telemetry.
i'm sure this time will land me in the national final (not to be cocky, but small country, even less PS3s, with gt5 and a wheel, and wasn't that bad time), but in the finals, well, there is ALWAYS a faster guy, and i'm sure they won't be running these ridiculous settings
it's more about setup, than driving skill, just trial and error, cos traditional techniques don't rly work with racing soft and skid on
BTW the hungarian standings
