I just checked and it is set to '6' on both (which I believe is the default setting). Usually, i'll lower the car half-way from 0 and do the same with the spring and damper, but this car is already at it's lowest... so I didn't touch anything else. What would you suggest?
Also - any view on TCS? Should I turn it off, lower the setting, or keep it at 5?

My time was run with the ride height, spring rate, and dampers all at their stock values. The only thing I adjusted was toe and camber angles. Also, I always turn TCS off completely... it makes me feel disconnected from the car.
Yeah, I've gone faster since the 1'43... right now I'm sitting at a 1'40.912. Probably won't be able to get this one much faster, so here's the pic and ghost.

Since their is more of an interest to run the GTPSP that is going to be hosted by Justin. This will be the only and final season of the TA Challenge. I honestly don't want to compete with challenge thread since some of you guys are going to run in the GTPSP series. Might as well just move all the members over to Justin's challenge to have more people. I will most likely be competing in his race series as well.

So... sometime after 1am, I was able to clock a 1:46.216 - how did I do it? Well, I finally turned off TCS (and all the other driving aids) and decided to start trying the 'manual' option. I can go much, much faster with those changes, but i'm much less likely to make it around the course without a major mishap. After years of only using automatic transmissions in GT games, i'm finding it a bit of a challenge making the switch. Sometimes I forget to change gears or i'll upshift when I was supposed to downshift (ugh). Practice and time will help this, but i'll just have to live with the frustration in the meantime.
Thanks to everyone for all your help and encouragement!

I just pulled a 1:45.877 a little while ago out of my ass. It was my only run out of 20 that I actually completed without hitting an outside wall (and even a few inside ones too!).
I'll take a picture later and post it.
By the way, are we supposed to be saving (and potentially uploading) our ghost or the replay? I've only been saving my ghost...

You and Justin should work together in combining. It looks like Justin wants multiple leagues, like street, off road, etc. You should see about hosting the street portion of it since you have already had some experience in doing so. If I had a choice on whether to stay with this competition, or go to a new one, I'd stay with this one since it was first. Unless the new one had prizes, I like prizes.

See that's the thing, I was happy about Season as well but then Justin had a idea to focus more on the GTPSP racing league, and since Season 2 kinda is a mirror image of Justin's idea minus only focusing on one set of cars. At this point, it's still in the air. I would like to see how Justin plan's out his idea. Season 2 may very well still happen but I don't wanna have both events crash with each other. If Justin has his event Monday - Friday, then I can start season 2 Friday Night and end Sunday Night. I'll have to get with him and find out what he would like to do. In the mean time, Season 1 is still in full effect.

Since it is a community thing, Justin should be getting your help to start up a larger challenge/series/competition since you already have one up and running. In a larger challenge, I had an idea of another points system to use. The current one, and the proposed ones are good for 10 or less competitors, but if we have 10+, those that can't make it into the top 10 wont get points. One idea I had was to allocate x amount of points per round, and divide them amongst the people that competed. Obviously give more of a % to 1st, then a little less % to 2nd etc. to 1 point for last. That would mean that even if you are 20th, you still get something. So something like 20th would get 1 point (if there is 20 people competing), 4th would get 17 points, and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd would get a % of the points left in the 'pool' of points for that round.

I didnt get as much time in on this challange as i would have liked, the car is tons of fun! I love throwing it in to neutral steer AWD drifts! Even the R3 tires dont stand a chance. Bummer about season 2 but Im optimistic about the new series.
