You can see at the background the GT6 logo and at 1:35 you can see the racing pods.



Nothing special yet, just saying.
 
I Won the Ferrari Track Day Experience for Silverstone at the GT6 Tournament at the back today! But I had to settle for a PlayStation Vita Bundle in the end as I hadn't had a Valid 3 Year Driving License :( But still amazed all the same! I'm also leading the Middle Time Trials at the GT6 Booth near the Middle by the PS4 Area. There's also one more Time Trails set up via Virgin Media which is the harder one of them all (Wheel Calibration wasn't set up properly) All with T500RS Steering Wheels on GT Rigs.

Pretty pleased every time I come to Eurogamer I Win something with Gran Turismo. Back in 2010 I Won a Mercedes Driving Experience from Time Trials. :) Have had some good luck today!

I personally would prefer the Vita Bundle as it is probably of more value depending on the experience they choose to giveaway.

Out of interest, what combo of car and track are being used for the time trials like the one near the middle and also the Virgin Media one?

I wish I heard of this earlier so could have got some tickets.
 
Hey Marky. Congrats on winning the ps vita. I went to the expo on the 1st day, but missed out on the tournament at the back section as I was too late to enter (I wasn't notified on time) :grumpy:
However I competed in the other track day competition (by the virgin media stand) and yes the wheels wasn't calibrated properly... but still managed to post a decent time up to get first by the end of the day. I still have to wait till tomorrow to know if I've even won it (fingers crossed) or you/someone else beat my time already?? :sly:

Out of interest what car and track combo did they have you guys running on GT6? Are they new ones? Do you get many tries?
 
Managed to get a ticket in the end and go. The time trial settings as it is looks impossible to beat and big gaps to the more genuine looking times.

Edit: Anyway tried this when the Expo was closing out of curiosity and it was running with settings that would have given me chance of being competitive when I first tried but gave up hope on the time trial due to saying the setting that was not allowed.

Only managed two 3 lap sessions (7 minutes) before event finished with correct settings, one with wheel offset to the left and the other offset to the right which left me no time to experiment so did some cautious laps which was good enough for 2nd of the eligible entries at 7PM close.

I found out where I was going wrong though, the trick was to try and cut the track in one of the corners without getting penalised. I remembered about that thing in US Racer X, when person in charge mentioned about cutting a specific corner but with only a few laps to try, not enough goes really to find out best line if majority of 6 laps is invalidated and pressure is on knowing they are last attempt to do a fast time. My fault for not going earlier I suppose, it is a bit annoying as I think another two more 3 lap sessions and I would have potentially been able to go P1. Good lesson though and will make me more wiser for the future.

Well done to person who won 👍.
