80's AFICIONADO (new record) - Countach 6:18.324 <<< Obsolete >>>

#1863 AIHUB ENSRINT S500SH LCNTACH88 S500SH 618324 20180326_191705.jpg


Several cars can run under 6:20, difficult to understand and just few hours...
There are 2 separate groups:
- Light/agile road car version of glorious rally cars as Audi Quattro, Lancia Delta, Ford RS200, Peugeot 205, Toyota Celica,...
- Supercars as GTO, Countach, RUF,...
... very interesting!

Ciao

EDIT:
80's AFICIONADO (new record) - GTO 6:14.977

You don't understand the quality of the GT6 fictional circuits until you stress them... Eiger Short Rev is very tech & funny!

Farewell, GT6 online. It was a blast while it lasted.

With the disappearance of GT6 online, we have had the rug pulled out from under us. No matter, our enthusiasm for the game has not diminished. We salute all of our online colleagues and friends whose passion for this game is similar to ours. Ciao, Au revoir, Goodbye!
 
Players please note - all submissions for current Online Challenges presented are now closed as of this post.
Results will be posted shortly.

It is now up to us, GT6 players, to carry this torch onwards.
There is plenty of opportunity for this - many exciting challenges to work on together harvested from the events in-game; licence tests, TTs, one-make races, feature events, etc.
The GTPlanet GT6 AI HUB looks forward to hosting these and is proud to be a channel of this activity.

Thank you all for the great participation!

We said goodbye to GT6 online today, It has been a brilliant era of gaming.

But the show must go on, I hope all of you guys still stay involved in here.

I'm shocked no MTM cards from @RMan72.

Very nice time from @lfm58 in the 80’s AFICIONADO.

:cheers:

Quite unfortunate - though it has happened to many a player; IIRC it was ERAZER that got shafted some rounds ago. Playing MTM cards is fun but also dangerous. You, however, don't need to prove how awesome a driver you are!
I can understand why you got the day wrong, though - Sony usually gave us the new Seasonals on a Thursday morning BST but this time around it was a day earlier. I almost missed the cut-off myself and had to quickly double-check to make sure I wasn't looking at the wrong calendar.
Your participation keeps us on our toes, though, and we welcome it! 👍

A special thanks to @bjl23 :cheers: who kept us informed with regular updates and a running commentary on the shenanigans.

Well, as the pandemonium settles down and the withdrawals hit bad we have no option but to gather in here and console ourselves with some mighty bouts of racing against each other. I'm looking forward to what the present winners will come up with; if you see your name at the top of the leader boards then PM me with the details of your challenges or feel free to throw me as many questions as you want. Remember that all challenges must now come from within the GT6 My Home dashboard itself.
Long weekend coming up - and I intend to spend lots of time both with GT games and GTPlanet - so I'll be seeing you guys around. 👍

such a good track, shame to do the second lap slow.
Like all of these style events, it's such a challenge to hold up all the AI

Well . . . here we go, guys.

Once again offline in a game of Gran Turismo.
For some of us who hadn't invested in GTS it might be quite a blow - lobbies non-existent, online clubs gone, a huge amount of the player-fraternity severed from each other.
We do, however, still have sites like GTPlanet to share pics, tunes, organize events of one sort or another or work on specialized projects like investigating the AI - which we did here in a room titled 'GT6 AI HUB' for many years and, with the help of some of the most elite race drivers on GTPlanet, answered many questions and dispelled huge misconceptions, too, about the AI - at least in GT6.

How long can this continue?
Only time will tell; maybe the shutdown was scheduled because something new was on the way - just the way the shutdown of GT5 heralded the coming of GT6.
When we did receive GT6, it was bare bones. Seasonals came much later. As did a lot of other content. Will it be an actual GT7 (3+4+5+6 together :D) ? Or suddenly added content to GTS that does make it more of a GT sibling and not another virtual race-room clone? Whatever happens, the shutdown is only to pave the way for some significant change (I'm hoping I'm not giving Sony undue intelligence here :sly: - but merely following their patterns so far).

Meanwhile, at this point in time, some of us have invested our lives in this series - which account for a lot of memories when we pick up the game - any of the games in the series that we played for long hours.
So we still have a game with more than a thousand vehicles, great graphics, a workable engine, lots of tracks, huge options for photography and tuning, special events, blahblahblah . . . but once the game is beaten then what we have left is to challenge each other on how well we beat this game before we move on to what some of us will eventually consider the next legitimate evolution of Gran Turismo - that driving game. Whatever it's called.

Thanks to @ERAZER to make lucky a 2nd place and @photonrider for packaging and mailing. :gtpflag:

Finally, I would underline a couples of mistakes in the final results:

80's AFICIONADO

Good pick up mate.
Only if @photonrider copied my last leader board update. In his defence it is very easy the get lost working out the times, I have to triple check when I do the updates.

Yes, I merely looked at your last update (Thank You for all the hard work!), however, the trophies have not been officially handed out in the OP whereby we put up the names of the new winners; so if there are no more adjustments/appeals, etc. by Sunday night then the corrected leader boards below will stand as the official results:

Please let me know if there are any more discrepancies. At this point in time, @bjl23 gets 2 Design-an-Event Tickets, with @ERAZER, @smoothbore12, and @lfm58 receiving 1 Ticket each. All of you can connect with me via PM as usual with your new challenges - and if ready we can put them up on the 8th of April 2018 - which is the cut-off date for the balance of events still running.

Remember, too, guys: there still is a Prize Event on - and we must be very careful (and extremely legal) with the rules and leader boards connected with that event (since there is money involved) so make sure everything is correct. If there is any confusion about the event make sure to ask, and ensure the submissions are posted here in time and not after the cutoff date.

That's wonderful to know - I'm glad the package made it safely all the way to Italy, Luciano. Enjoy! You deserved that - you worked hard for it. The postage cost 'an arm and a leg' (that's Canadian English for 'very expensive' :lol: in case you're scratching your head at the phrase) as you may have noted from the stamps on the parcel - but I would think that the cars in there have now greatly appreciated in value since they were first introduced to the market.
Check on prices before you consider throwing them at a nephew! ;)
It does remain a great memento of the AI HUB, and the GT-R race you placed in, though - and may be something to show off to your grandchildren one day, long, long after GT6 is gone. :dopey:

Yeah like @lfm58 said. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Check out some pages to get an idea about how it works in here.:cheers:

LEADERBOARDS update

Only some new entries since the end of the online races from myself, with some very poor times.:D

For those who don't know (ie: @skeagracing ) I post updates of the new times people post in here on a weekly basis to help out your fearless leader @photonrider. And I do a write up about what's been happening, and try to make you guys laugh or make you cry either one? Most likely cry.

It makes me very happy to see @skeagracing (aka the washing machine) in here as I've admired his racing for a long time. Thanks to @smoothbore12 for that Nickname.👍

I do not know anything about this Pozzi Camaro. And why this car???


The way it works at the HUB is really simple;

Okay - PD gives us 'Seasonal' events right?

A 'Seasonal' race event is just a race picked by PD that everybody does because it comes online and everybody can see this 'new' event - actually it's just another race event like any other racing event WITHIN the actual game itself.
No difference - except, through a Forum, people get to compare their stats and all because everybody is doing the same event together and comparing stats as such.

What does the HUB do?

The same thing. Except, WE, as players (winners) get to pick and 'design' an event for everybody to do. So the event may have all sorts of criteria and results to meet = fastest time, highest position, slowest time, finding fastest AI, bringing in most of one marque, etc. and maybe even the race confined to one particular car to make the race more challenging.
(that answers your question about why RMan72 picked the Camaro - he threw us a bone hard enough on which to gnaw for quite some time.)

PD's 'Seasonals' were mostly confined to winning Gold, Silver, cars, credits, chips, etc.
It was the Prizes, more than the actual race, that mattered sometimes.

In the HUB's case we try to take it further:
We test our driving skills.
We test tuning and racing skills.
We test AI behaviour-reactivity when we use the game to drive in a manner that the game may not be usually programmed to handle.
We force various limitations on - underpowered cars, or exceptionally hard maneuvering, precision driving . . . etc.

And that's just some of the things being done inside this lab.

Precision driving? Yes.

That's what a '15.00' race is all about.

International A 15 Minute Race Nurburgring Nordschleife. Tune By me. No aids. Cockpit race on Replay View. Total Time 19:50.492. Fast lap on lap 3. Fast lap 6:36.647. Pass for the win over the McLaren F1 GTR on lap 1 at km 16. Winning margin 42.698.


How close can you get (with all your driving/racing skills) to the 15.00 mark and still win?
That would be the real challenge.
Shall we tie a hand behind your back to make it more difficult?
We can do that here at the HUB and have done so many times.
I am still boggled by some of the antics that @Vic Reign93, @nowayback, @WhoosierGirl, @MTM79, @ERAZER, etc. would come up with when challenged.
I think @Vic Reign93 actually has a Sonic screwdriver - there was no way the Time-Traveller trophy he won would have been possible without one.

And so on . . . and it gives a chance to all - even those who have beaten the game - to come in here and test their mettle (or test their mettle in secret against the times posted in here) and so play the game with a spirit of competition against other real live players as well as the AI.

Keep practising that 15 minute race - because very soon you're going to prove that you're actually the GT MOVIESTAR. Or the 15 MINUTE MAVEN. ;)

It's the choice of car you use that's going to be crucial - another test of your GT skills; knowing your cars. :lol:

Any more questions - don't fail to ask. My apologies for the House Rules (even though simple) not being comprehensive in the OP - I aim to attend to this soon so that we're all on the same page.

The House Rules, of course, exist so that the fine line between 'freedom' and 'chaos' is clearly defined.
Thank you for being in here and adding to the competition and DNA traded.
:cheers:
H.

@smoothbore12 the best tire for the rain is racing soft as this is how I won all the rain race. Not sure why it worked but it did:lol:
