GT Planet Member Time Attack Challenge

[Shigegaki]

Impressive claims are ******** until videos are shown... We do know there's a mega huge shortcut near the end yea?

LOL people claiming that members are cheating. I have watched Yavy's and Glubags replays in the past, they even post there fast laps on youtube. Nice troll through

 

[Shigegaki]

Glubags as spoken.

Ok, I've made my decision.

Citroen 2CV Type A '54
Autumn Ring Mini Reverse

Reasoning for this:
The car is slow and the track is short. You can hold the throttle wide open all the way around. This challenge will be all about who can extract the quickest time based on finding the absolute best driving line: smooth corner entry, finding each corner's true apex, hitting them, and executing the right line out of the corners.The "driving line" shown in-game is definitely not the fastest approach. Should be fun to see who comes out on top when everything else is taken out of the equation and finding the proper line is all that matters.

EDIT.

This is the car and track that Glubags has chosen for C6. I'll update the times later today, going to lunch.

Citroen 2CV Type A '54...ohhh dam. This is going to be hard to get. Car i mean.

 

[Glubags]

It's very cheap though.

 

[allent2]

1'39.832

C6 sounds fun! Nice pick Glubags

 

[Shigegaki]

remember to post your times with screenshots so they can be counted towards C5. I'll post my time once I break into the 1'37 range. Only .100 to shave off

 

[Glubags]

FINALLY ran my perfect lap for C5. Came home from work, loaded my old ghost, lapped 27 times and finally put it all together.

 

[Shigegaki]

Wish I could help, but I've only got one PSP, so it's test course/open track drifting for me.

 

[Cottees]

I have 1668 cars, and Citroen 2CV Type A '54 isn't one of them! Looks like I'll have to start pushing days to get it.

 

[Glubags]

I have 1668 cars

Good lord!

 

[Cottees]

Good lord!

I have 'bought' around 50, but shared via Ad-Hoc Party to get the rest. There is around 4,424 car variants, so plenty more cars to collect.

 

[Shigegaki]

i know Yavy has experience because I read his post. but he isn't on oh psp88 is on haha

 

[Genesisfury]

50 laps of frustration and I stopped as soon as I beat Glubags' time. I dont think it would be possible for me to beat this time again. See you all in the next challenge.

 

[kiddallen]

sorry niigaki, I took a shortcut at corner #3. 1'39.191 is not a fair record.
I will post another record later

 

[Glubags]

@ Genesisfury:

Damn! Can you upload your ghost? My 1'36.8 was pushing absolutely as hard as I could, right on the limit in every corner. I'll upload my ghost as well.

 

[danlalan]

@ Genesisfury: NO shortcuts. No driving aids and 1.36.xxx is a dream timing. Waiting to see the video.

My 1'36.8 is with no assists, but as Yavy can likely attest, getting into the 1'36.9 to 1'36.8 range is an absolute struggle... To best that by nearly 2 tenths without cutting the track is pretty much unfathomable... I've gotta see that replay.

I can understand what you mean when you say its pretty much impossible to do what I did, but I feel like that too when I'm killing myself over an accomplishment and then I see someone else doing it much better -_-. But it also took me about 50 laps (Just from Today, Not since the challenge started) to get this time when it took you 27. And you know what, I would love to have replays and such from this game and other psp/ps3 games on my youtube page but I dont have the necessary devices to do it yet >_< (I'll try to work something out soon though).

 

[Shigegaki]

wow I come back from dinner to read these posts.

Yeah Genesisfury, when you have the chance do you mind either
A) uploading your replay
B) use a camera to record and upload the video to youtube.

even watching Glubags replay, I am still at 1'38.100 haha

Yeah as I said I dont have any video cameras that are powerful enough to record a psp screen so I'll see what I can do because I would like to record some Metal Gear Online games.

Try uploading your ghost data located at your memory card...

\PSP Root Directory\PSP\SAVEDATA\UCUS98632RPLY-B4EF93F7800

something like that :-)

 

[kiddallen]

I try to find a proxy, because no access to youtube in China. I will upload reply to Flickr.
a lot of trouble for me to see your videos on youtube. I really want to see what you shared.

yeah Glubags did the samething this morning for me.

 

[psp88]

C6 sounds fun! Nice pick Glubags

I agree!
I only had to advance 2 days when the Citroen showed up.
After I purchased it I went back to check the specs.
The 11hp surprised me & I couldn't resist so I took it out for a spin at the C6 track!
I was all smiles at the first lap.
I almost even managed to run off track

But, back to work... still cant get past 1:40s.
haven't had a lot of time though to practice C5.
will post my time before C5 ends.

do you have problems downloading?
if not then its better for you to acquire the ghost data from the race leaders.

ooh~ that's ok, but will ghost data include reply?

 

[psp88]

yep!
you can race against it or just watch a clean & fast lap.

it would be nice if Genesisfury could upload his ghost data.
it will surely help me get past 1:40s.

 

[Shigegaki]

oh hey Psp, I figured out some while grinding for credits tonight. Looks like it takes 2 races on the Ring to get it going, then the 3rd race turns into a jackpot race. I have over 10million credits already in an hour and a half of doing this.

edit.

psp check your inbox for a surprise haha.
