London Reverse I'm also taking part in the Sixaxis Championship, we have had this track with the Tuscan up for two weeks.
I love to hate to love this track (if that makes any sense). It's rewarding when you get it down... the first S bend and/or the last turn, (90º left hander) ruined more laps than I completed!! Hopefully I can control the Z4 a little better Should be more fun in the Beamer!
This track definitely keeps you focused, no time for late or slow reactions here!

*edit* Chris, shouldn't it say race 9 not 8... not that it really matters

 

[spyrrari]

👍👍

I can never seem to get any speed around london except in the F2007. So i'll see how I go.
I got 8 points in the last race.. I can't believe it. Sorry just was a bit excited when I read that.

 

[balang_479]

had a go at this... quite hard, never driven the track before... i improved my lap times from my first lap by like 10s !!?!

not sure what people are running but i think i did a 1.01xxx but record is like 58...
hopefully i can get some faster times down.

 

[spyrrari]

well,did a few laps today,its amazing how the car compairs to the one i drove last week for my job...its initial understeer is real,its safe very controllable oversteer is real,the sound is a bit wierd though but comes close...little bit to many high tones where the car in real life sounds a bit darker and agressive....

nice combo ...hope i have some more time this coming week to get some top times in...👍

I've surprised myself by how fast I went. I didn't think I would've been able to get that close to holl01's time but you've still got me I think. If I can go faster it'll only be by a little bit. Nice lap holl01:tup: as usual your ghost car just drives away from mine by about 3 tenths.

Pffft.... i can't even comprehend how you boys get sub 59's.......... Let alone a mid 58 in hollo's case...

Very distressing to be so bad......

59.617 is a good time. When I first had a go at this I couldn't get under a 59.5. But then something just clicked in my head one lap and I went 0.5 faster and the 58.927 I did took one and a half hours to achieve.

When I first started doing online Time Trials I couldn't get within 2 to 3 seconds of holl01's times. But after driving the F2007 and getting in the top 100 I got some confidence and kept pushing to get to the top 10. Then when I got their I was going for holl01's times.

I never used to be very fast but after getting confidence and much, much, much more practice I gradually got closer to the top. Have been at the top but for less than a day thanks to holl01 who kept knocking me off number 1 in the F2007 at Daytona Road Course.

Same here but i havent been on the top, But after watching both Holl01 and spyrrari's ghost just fly away from me it has drove me to becoming a better GT5P driver, now when i try a time trail i study their ghost's gearing for corners everything i can from their replays and i think its starting to work, I just need more practice and a little more guidence which i hope to pick up from more of these races.

BIG THANK YOU TO Holl01 and spyrrari

Thats one to tell the grandkids.......... "The day i slayed a giant"

 

[Mad94d]

That is a fantastic lap Chris.

 

[holl01]

i hope you enjoyed ur time at the top chris! just kidding, ran a series of laps and managed to squeeze out a 55.50x, can still see a further .1 non clutch, not sure about clutch limit. happy new year

 

[spyrrari]

top job Dan...but did you do this lap before or after the deadline??....


spyrrari.

 

[holl01]

probably after, I just hope chris can give me the benifit of the christmas

 

[chrisr1984]

it is abit late if im honest and i havent let others go through who have got me them sooner..

also you have 2 PSN id's. can you just decide on one you are using and stick to that one, as it makes it more difficult to check.

also its a 58.509

bloody good lap tho

when i did mine i knew i could knock 0.200th off as i managed it at the first split.. (was a brilliant 1st corner) but i would of just had to keep going until i got that first corner right lol..

 

[holl01]

Yeah, that holl01 time was driven 4 months ago chris, i stopped using that account 2 months ago, when i signed up for the iftc. Just missed the deadline, bummer!

 

[chrisr1984]

no worries mate, ill make sure to watch the gtp_ one now.

sorry about the submisison tho... hopefully you can get this weeks in

you're so fast on the track,but so slow turning in your times........

(have to say though that i write it down in my agenda every week,otherwise i am sure to forget it or be too late....)
