[easyasashii]

[vaughan]

rx-7 1'17.8xx (unclean)
rx-8 1'16.6xx

 

[Detroitbb]

No laps last night - my previous times (1'15.3xx and 1'16.5xx) still stand.

 

[pvr77]

Improved my time with the RX-8 a little...
1'14.5xx
From now on my improvements, if any, will be in tenths or more likely hundredths.

 

[red ice]

Improved my RX-7
1'18.xxx

got a 1'17.378 but its unclean.

GTPSP is available via PSN download. You could try that.



Welcome back!! 👍

I could as well get a UMD, but i bought a PS3 and i'm playing a game with an Italian brand and Italian tires.

 

[pvr77]

^Parabéns. Enjoy.

 

[Detroitbb]

1'15.3xx with the RX-8 and 1'15.9xx with the RX-7.

 

[pvr77]

I think I figured out why most of us are faster with the RX-8, it seems the gear ratio of the RX-8 is just more suited to this particular track than that of the RX-7. I've improved my times with both cars but I'll be playing my cards close to my chest until I post my entry.

 

[Oni91]

Small thing, but can you use the speed from a previous lap to improve your submitted lap, or does it all have to be on Lap 1?

 

[pvr77]

^ Welcome Oni91, but I'm not quite following, you run hotlaps in time trail and save your fastest ghost then post that with a picture. Check some older challenges for examples or PM me and I'll explain. 👍

 

[vaughan]

The same question as I asked before. The answer is "Yes, you can." Just a ghost replay no matter which lap it is.

 

[vaughan]

No improvements...................all rx-8 1'17.xxx and rx-7 1'18.xxx
Anyone would like to post some ghost replays for me to chase?
Show me your mercy, guys~

Are you going to do something giving us a big surprise again?

 

[Oni91]

Oh, I just tried and got 1'19/1'20. This is the first time I've been driving without the aids. :/

Sure :

I'm posting early just in case I don't have time to do it on the weekend.

Mazda efini RX-7 Type RZ '93 - 1'13.827

Mazda RX-8 Type S '03 - 1'13.762

Combined time: 2'27.589



Getting the RX-8 under 1'14 was a challenge, but the RX-7 was near impossible to get it to 1'13.xxx . Reaching my goal nearly drove me mad . But in the end I was able to get into the 1'13s with both cars, and still be sane.

Good luck guys!

Nice times on your initial runs! Keep it up. You'll get used to it.

My current times so far:
RX-8
1'17.104
RX-7
1'18.234

Welcome and great job 👍 ! The more you practice, the faster you get ! Stay with us for a while and you'll improve a lot !

! Great job Dan360 👍 !

I just found out that I was running S3 for the last sessions -because of the Suzuki at Suzuka, the tires changed and I forgot...- So I was very happy with my times, pretty surprised too as well -all of the sudden I was way faster... that should have rung me a bell ...-

So I'm back with the first times I posted, 24 heures du Mans is starting tomorrow, it will end on Sunday afternoon -> then it's GP Canada ! I'll try to run in between or maybe sunday evening but I sure won't be competitive at all... wait, how long have I been saying that ?!! Has it become my thing ???

GT5 shot GT5 shot GT5 shot...

You lucky one !

MVR08, how GT5 is going for you ?

 

[Detroitbb]

Welcome, Oni91!

We hope you enjoy your stay! If you have any question/comments/concerns, feel free to ask - we're all here to help one another!

 

[Detroitbb]

Beautiful photos, red ice!!!

 

[red ice]

Beautiful photos, red ice!!!

thanks.
Everybody kept complaining of GT4-renders for standard cars (RX-7 photo vs RX-8 photo) around the GT5 threads and Video reviews, but to be honest...its the driving which really counts. I think some of the younger generation forgot about GT as simulation game and not just eye candy.

 

[Oni91]

OK, got the RX-7 to a smidge over 1'18. Really I'm not gonna be happy until both times are 1'17"xxx. Possibly if I can push the RX-8 even further.

EDIT: And immediately after I post that I get 1'17"375 with the éfini. That for me is pretty damn brilliant.

[pvr77]

I got some catching up to do, Dan360's 1'13 with both cars is insanely fast I didn't think it was possible with the RX-7. I'd love to know how you tuned. Dan360, please post your tune with your final submission.

Nice pics red ice! Keep it coming. 👍

 

[Dan360]

Here's my setup for both cars:

Spoiler

Mazda RX-8

Front/Rear

Ride height - -25/-15
Spring rate - 7/4
Damper - 5/6
Toe - -0.20/-0.50
Camber 1.5/2.0

Mazda RX-7

Front/Rear

Ride height - -25/-15
Spring rate - 7/4
Damper - 5/6
Toe - -0.10/+0.20
Camber - 1.5/2.5

Getting fast times isn't purely on setup alone. A good driving line contributes to faster lap times, but I'm keeping that a secret.

Nice photos red ice. 👍 Maybe you should start a gallery in the GT5 section.

Thanks for sharing your tune
Yeah, I've heard a lot of people say that there is no magic tune thats gonna make you a lot faster, the line is very important but a good tune for a track just makes it that little bit easier to stay on your line!

Here's mine:

Spoiler

Mazda RX-8

Front/Rear

Ride height - -22/-18
Spring rate - 8/6
Damper - 8/6
Toe - -0.00/-0.20
Camber 1.5/2.0

Mazda RX-7

Front/Rear

Ride height - -22/-17
Spring rate - 8/5
Damper - 6/6
Toe - -0.00/+0.10
Camber - 1.8/2.5

I doubt this matters, but you actually used the '96 RX-7. I tried it out myself though and seems the same as the '93 one, but had to tell you just in case. INSANE LAPS nevertheless!

 

[easyasashii]

^ it does matter... Thanks for seeing that and telling us before deadline !

@Dan360 : I hope you'll have time to run the right car and post in time !

@pvr77 : Thanks for your setup 👍 !

I ran my last session with the Mazda efini RX-7 Type RZ '93 and I'm down to 1'15.233 (I can see where I can shave off half a second but no patience left...)

I'll try to run the RX-8 tomorrow !
