Drift260Zhey shutup!!!! hehe, I did drop like 30lbs somehow in the past couple of months. and I think the F1 car doesn't come with ballast, I belive it was just some other settings from previous tunings I forgot about. heh. I'll respond to any other messages when I get to them.
rock.
haha not really man, not settings, keep fit and move that 20 extra kg out of your fat body.
ur damaging your suspension with that extra weight!

I hate this week. I can't bebothered anymore, it's stupid, and I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.
I'll probably submit this time, it's crap, but I hate this week.
T1 - 17.812 (I hate that split)
T2 - 47.612 (I hate that split)
-----
T1 - 11.132 (I really hate that split)
T2 - 40.711 (I hate this split)
I'd try some more, but I don't want to, because I hate it.

Update:
Took more than a half a second out, still looking for another half a second...
T1 16.617 (have seen a couple of mythical 16.3xx's)
T2 44.619 (have seen 44.2s now)
T1' 11.059 (STILL suck here! GRRR!)
T2' 39.032 (still was able to make up 0.1" over my 38.949 lap)
Back to work after watching Chinese GP qualifying...

Had another session.....quite addicted to the stupid thing now. 
Me LIKE formula racer.....
Well let's see, I was about .6 faster on my L1/T2 split, but .25 slower on my L2/T2 split, so netted .35. But figured a faster way round the end sector, so final race time ended up being .6 faster.
So when are one of u Aliens gonna post some splits? hOt? Veil? It doesn't seem right for me to be at the top of the leaderboard for more than 12 hours! Come on now. Don't be shy..... 
Oooh. Just saw Shig's splits. Very nice sir! 👍 If ur getting 44.6 or lower on the first lap, u will eventually see that 1/2 second u want on the second lap.

Practice mode is faster... We discussed that a little bit in the earlier pages. I didn't get to run tonight, so it'll be monday night at the earliest... Crap. I'm definitely not going to be able to catch up on sleep this weekend. 👎 But, I guess I'll be having fun, so it'll be worth it. Right?T13R

How much faster? I don't know, but I think someone mentioned something in the area of a full second... And you saw a T2 of 43.999 in race mode? Or practice? Either way, that's FAST!SHigSpeed
I wish I could've pulled a lap together last night... That race that was 1.65 seconds faster would've been GREAT. Oh well, and yeah, it's definitely 2:30 now. Crap, gotta drive to the beach earlyish tomorrow morning... Gnight!

Got my first clean splits. 3.5 seconds off my goal though, i slowed down just to get a clean lap in, lol.
T1 - 16.783
lost .15
T2 - 45.789 lost .8
T1 - 10.898 lost .05
T2 - 39.300 lost 1.2
and the ends werent that spectacular either. I had 2 fast laps, with a touch on each lap on the left kink before last corner....So gutting, it was 3 seconds faster than my clean

Full second huh? That's encouraging! Someone told me a time that they got in practice mode that seemed impossible, then last night I got to within a second of it in race mode.
The 43.999 was in race mode, BTW.
I STILL can't regularly get 10.8 or less in T1' though and I feel like an newbie!
I did manage a couple of races about a half second faster than my current splits, but they were dirty. Still got 0.4" to go to crack my current second barrier and a few tenths more to make my goal.
I'm spending WAY too much time on this combo. Sure wish I had alien DNA like the Very Huge Honchos so that I could string my best splits together within a couple of hours instead of a couple of FULL DAYS!
The power went out on me last night at 3:00 and it was a good thing or I may not have EVER gotten to sleep! Got a wedding to get to today then possibly another LONG night barring more power failures...-SHig

Boy am I glad I sat down for 15 minutes before my friend gets here for the beach... Did maybe 5 races, and on the fourth one I played with toe a bit, and knocked them down from 3/3 to 2/2, and the car became much more stable everywhere it seemed, and more neutral at the same time. Anywho, put down a very fast T2(for me) on the second lap, fastest T2 for the second lap that I've seen so far!
T1: 16.497
T2: 45.416
T1: 10.679
T2: 38.936
Cumi. T1s: 27.176
Cumi. T2s: 1'24.352! w000!
And I can easily see me getting more with more time. Monday night it's ON! I'll set my goal at a half second faster overall. I think it's very doable... So maybe we'll see how much I can surpass it by... Hopefully... 👍

1.0 second.
Maybe 1.2, as i almost did a miracle of a lap in practice, and seems very very hard, to go just 1 second slower in race mode, but going recklessly im sure its possible.

This is a seriously fun combo, I'm not much of a top runner but it's just so much fun! Like driving the original Escudo/Cultus in GT2...THAT was a blast! Here are my new splits:
T1: 0'16.741
T2: 0'46.514
------------
T1: 0'10.934
T2: 0'40.533
I know I lost 0.4 seconds overall with my driving abilities but I'm close to my limits I think 👍

find out that i had no clean race until today...
this time is about 1 second slower than my best, but its 100% clean...
ONE THING - I SUCK AT THE START!!!
T1 - 17´148
T2 - 44´498
T1 - 10´514
T2 - 37´699
i still can take 2 seconds of that time if i can put my 2 best laps togheter, but i don´t think this will happen...
but i´m glad to be at the top of the leaderboard so far... but i know guys will come after me like wild lions in fury...

Well I had a ball with Kolyana today, driving GT4 and Burnout Revenge, killer! And just before I left we had a little discussion I would just like to throw out there, as to maybe describe why I'm having trouble with these little 2 lap deals. Here's whats going on IMO: In order to get the ball rolling on a combo like these family cup races, I like to spend some time in the practice mode getting settings down and what not ( I learned a great deal about settings last week, as I tried everyone's settings eventually, but in the end I started from scratch and just did them on my own ) for the combo and try to get into some sort of rhythm with it. One problem is that the difference between practice mode and the race is black and white, sure my settings still apply, but the car handles SO different with the tire wear and all, that I honestly cant drive the same way for both, the braking points are different and everything. So I would like to say that I wish there was an option to CHANGE how many laps I would like to do in the family cup to anywhere from 2 to 20, that way I could actually have an applicable practice session with my F1 car and learn how it WILL react come race time. U know, set the race to like 10 laps for practice then change it to 2 laps for time submission. Now this is in no way CFM's fault obviously, but I am most likely (but NOT ALWAYS)gonna opt out of these 2 lap deals as I feel I am just getting my rhythm come the second lap and then the race is over, then I start another race and it may take me a few times to get the start right, then I lose my rhythm and have to start all over again. I'm really sorry for the long post, but this combo this week I was truly looking forward to racing my fav car, but really has turned out a little sour, again IMO; my 2 cents. But I'll still give it my best 👍

i can honestly feel your pain, i was also waiting this combo, and i would add another thing, its one thing to drive in practice mode, one thing to drive the first lap, and a third to drive the second lap of the race... i mean, i was having low 36´s in practice, but up until a few hours ago, i had no clean time... luckly i got one, but i was really stressed that all my races were dirty, and i was getting angry with the start...
really, there´s way to much wheelspin compared to the real F1 car, specially today, after seeing the chinese GP... they go all on gas with the first gear and the F1 reacts normal... if you do that in GT4, its death
anyway, its also a crap that we have to do the first lap with cold tires... i´m not saying the we would have to run a warm up lap before the race, but it could be pre-heated for us...
well, practice is just to find the setup, otherwise, it might make you drive bad in family cup... i´ll try to give another go at this one, but for those reasons and also the stupid AI that i will always like better a hotlapper 👍

I would also of prefered a hotlap, ive had some smokin first laps, but spoil it on the second lap, lol. Id completly forgotten about Tokyo though, its probaly the best track for the F1 IMO

After missing last weeks race due to a broken PS2 I've managed to throw down 3 races and recorded the following times...
Div 3 - DS2
T1 - 17.169
T2 - 48.056
T1 - 11.473
T2 - 42.546
Unfortunately my PS2 has broken down yet again, and I don't feel like ripping it open twice in one night, so I'll try fixing it again tomorrow and hopefully have time to work on some new settings.

Whew, well thank God a couple people can relate, I ws waiting to get some rotten feedback.... 
and I still might, but like SHig has and is showing, this is more his cup of tea than mine, he's pulling it down really well 👍 . Whereas I, I"ll HAVE to put tcs on 1 to even think about doing 2 laps in a row. May submit my time today if its faster than my previous time. 
EDIT: Time Submitted...is it Tuesday yet?
