So damage was off? I know why, like guy above me posted, 1 driver an hour, so everyone should see what the lil Toyota is capable off and not be in the pit for tire changing or if someone crash the car.

So I understand why there were no damage and pits.

So yeah, basically everything that josh said. The weight transfer was a lot more noticeable, I spun out a couple of time braking hard and turing into a corner and such. Felt really nice, framerate never went down once. Using the same wheel I have, so it was nice how it was going to play when I eventally get it. Pity I couldn't use manual.

What time did you go in?, as I was there till about 6pm. It was really fun so naturally I had a few goes. First lap was a 18.6, then a couple of 19's (lol), then it just went down. Got it down to 15.7 after a few times. Then I found a couple of new lines through some of the complexes (this probably after having 20 or so laps, hey It was fun!), result:

Hey, I thought it was impossible at the start too. Nice to know I beat a professional racing drivers lap however :P

NOOOOOO

YOU BEAT MY TIME, then again I only did 6 laps, ie 2 5 min sessions. And havn't played GT since the GT academy.

I had a 1'14.5xx cant remember exactly, I was the one who set that last Friday. So whats this talk of professional race driver, is it because I showed them my MX-5 club track pass??? IE Not a real race license, just lets me do trackdays at Wakefield Park.


Anyway NEW NEWS!!!

NEW NEWS!!!
Toyota just called me confirming I had the fastest time for last Friday. I have been invited by phone, to come on Saturday for some sort of knockout competition. Will follow with more details when I revceive them in an email tomorrow.

Anyway I think I'll wear the Nissan GT Academy shirt just to annoy Toyota LOL. :)

Nice job zdenko, that lap was sure hard to beat. 👍

Hopefully no one beat my lap yesterday night, so hopefully I might get a call soon.
 
zdenko.

Mate you have to wear the Nissan GT Academy shirt just for a laugh.

Well done on the times guys.
 
Had 2 go's at it tonight and only did a 1:18.1. VERY hard to learn the new track in 2 hotlaps though, would've liked more of a go but not gonna waste my time sitting there all night so gave it up. But the physics and graphics were brilliant. Big improvement especially in weight transfer compared to prologue. Although all aids were on and it was auto, it was still a blast.

I'll have video up later tonight.

Great times too guys, waaaay too fast for me. 14's are just insane. 👍
 
i was a bit underwhelmed by it all (physics/graphics) as i was maybe expecting the next step up from GT5P?

If this is just the demo graphics and not the final showing if graphics quality then i ll understand but i have to say that i also played FM3 at KIA stand (on a wheel for the first time) and have to say while the interior wasnt as polished as Toyota demo , it wasnt that far off........there were no aids on the KIA so i guess it was more fun than the dissappointing toyota demo (no power oversteer, but could spin the car trail braking....wtf TC?)

time was a 1.17.XX after 3 goes but was to scared the rear was going to step out on corner exit (before realising the aids were on)
 
I don't think that's a smart idea to wear a rival company's shirt when you're being invited by Toyota. That's just plain stupid IMO. Just wear a regular ass t-shirt and brag about how you love the FT. Maybe you'll get something out of Toyota as to a release date for the car and if the G-Sports version is really coming to production. Hell maybe they'll let you win some prizes if you actually win. But wearing Nissan when invited by Toyota just smells foul.
 
UNV412 - Traction control will only help you when break traction, obviously, to keep the car slipping the wheels by cutting down the engine power, but it won't prevent a spin. That's for stability mangement.

In any case, based on my time with the 3D demo, power oversteer is extremely easy to get at in GT5, pro physics and no aids
 
Put masking tape over the Nissan bits, so it just says GT Academy :P

Had the top time changed at all unv412/Mad94d?
 
TCS is only good for coming out of turns and putting down power, or through turns when the cars tires want to slip (or the wet). Stability control and ABS are what help in braking.

That doesn't answer my question. My question was "How come you guys couldn't turn off driving aids?"
 
There was the option to turn it off (just like in GT5P in the driving options menu before a race).

however, to compete for the lap times you had to have all the settings the same - i think it was standard physics, TC 5, Automatic
 
Got the call, will see you speedfreaks tomorrow. 👍

Free copy of the game is nice too. Still getting the Signature Version tho. :)

Cool thank you 👍.

Has anyone tried bringing a PS3 controller along and press the PS button to bring up the XMB? You never know what you might find there :lol:.
 
YAY, got the email, see all you other contestents there

Edit: Removed her mobile, for privacy.

Edit2: Reading the email better remove more stuff!!!! Big privacy statement in it!!!
 
A few videos (these were my two runs, as you can see I was very cautious on my laps).





Congrats to all the winners, great driving to get 14's guys. 👍 Good luck in the finals.

that would explain the crap physics feel (standard) and the lack of power oversteer (TC5) but how can you explain my slow "not a 1.14" laps......wait dont answer that! :grumpy:
 
Wish the gtplanet members who are in the final shootout tomorrow the best of luck! Nice videos Mad;) That crash in Vid 2 looked like a, oh **** there was a corner there, moment, hehe.

Yeah it was. That was pretty much my 2nd time around the track so I was being cautious and tried to be a bit brave... and that was the result. But you know was great fun and looking forward to GT5 when it's released after playing that. :)
 
Did anyone beat my 1:17:7ish time yesterday? It was still standing at 6pm when I left. Not a scoldingly fast lap (1:14??!? WTF) but fingers crossed I get a free copy and an invite back. Prob wont though.
 
Congrats to the winner(s) today. Those last few Madrid laps where fast. Wasn't an easy track to do. Good fun today.

Curiously, what times do you do with your mx5 at wakefield along with the respective tyres you were using?
Click to expand...

Hey

I still havn't managed to get a nice day at wakefield, each time I go it rains.
Ie I'm going again tomorrow, and guess what, forecast rain.
Anyway I have done a 1'15.7 with some of the corners wet where water flows off the grass.
When I set that most people were 2-2.5s of there best, so hopefully I should be able to aim for a 1'13 on a dry track.
If I do better tomorrow, weather dependent I'll post.
And the tyres I have been using are crap acroding to other MX-5ers that have had them before, especially in the wet. Achilles 123S semi slicks in 205/40/17 size.

Anyway, onto today.
Congrats to the winner.

But grr, still can't belive I hit that last corner wall on my last lap, which I was so far ahead in!!!!!! Rematch when the game comes out???

Oh and the track was Madrid.

Did anyone take pics, cause I shore didn't, post please if you did.
 
Nah, I didn't get any pics or vids of Madrid.

They said they whern't allowed, lol.

Final overall time when I left today at 3pm was 1.13
I had never used a wheel with FFB before this, proved to be a fun experience (1.23 my best :( ).
Some kid starting playing with the menus instead of playing while the attendant wasn't looking. Saw some cool stuff.
