@BanditKarter22 come on buddy!!!!

9.062
19.746

Bad sector 1 but great sector 3. 2 tenths at the line

Holy 🤬!! I'm gonna have to give this a go! I will be away from home Saturday and Sunday though so may have to submit early! I shall certainly try this one though! Hopefully have enough time to do this justice! 👍

How in the world does a vehicle with no front brakes lock up the front wheels under braking?

Magic.

 

[GTPorsche]

Guess I'll have to turn ABS on. It's quite distracting, but the only way to change it is to use a different vehicle.

Edit: Guess that isn't a thing. I'll adjust to it....

 

[OpticZero]

This should be different, in a good way.

First attempt of over 50 laps ran.

No, f'kin way! this is not going to be a fight for the win, this is going to be a fight of who comes closest to @Doodle
That said, this is not my type of event, so I'm not even going to pretend I'm gonig to be the best "non-doodle"

That's why I told Bandit to join so I wouldn't be lonely up here.

Lets hope he shows up, in this event, I guess we have sub-aliens, aliens, super-aliens, and you 2

 

[Thematic]

21 laps was enough for now.

9.681
21.298

You forgot mere mortals like me and those trying to use the DS3 here.

I can't believe that I'm still the fastest D3 type. I guess everybody else is still at Indy.

It actually does have front brakes as it's a shifter kart, obviously they've modeled it to have them, not sure if they're physically shown or not.

Anyway, first splits for me:

9.002
19.635

Left at least a tenth in the first sector, pretty good middle sector and messed up the last corner a little. Took me about 50 laps to get back into the swing of things having not played for a few months, but I'm loving this combo! 👍

Yeah, the front brakes are shown, look at the settings on a shifter you own.

I'd already turned off my PS3 when I saw this so didn't have chance to look, thanks for confirming!

This week is so anti-DS3 user.

Certainly a tricky one on DS3! When I first got GT5 then I drove karts with a DS3, albeit a normal kart not a shifter kart, it's possible to go pretty fast, although tricky to put a lap together without crashing!

 

[GranTurismo916]

9.450

[MisterWeary]

I'm thinking the DS3 has something to do with that.

As @ItsAllAboutWins has said before...DS3 isn't easy but a good driver can work with the tools they're given...I'm not going to blame the DS3 this week, I think the user of the DS3 in my case needs greater fine motor control 👍 I did enjoy my few laps though so I hope to improve.

Sorry, was not my intent. Maybe try putting some TC on the car. I know in the early going I was faster with accidental TC 5 than I was with TC 0.

No need to apologize. I like challenges!

 

[Mini Stiggy]

This combo is making me sweat more than any other.

It is quite the workout.

 

[Mini Stiggy]

It's also the first time my hands are sore after driving

New splits:

9.112
20.062


Starting to figure this one out. I think I'm going to become addicted to it. Just like the GT300 @ Fuji TT.

[Spirit]

Just turned upwards of 100 laps, I will post splits once I've been officially placed in my division. I'll just say this, DS3 users have their work cut out for them. But hey, who doesn't love a challenge!

 

[Javi Piqueras]

Hello everyone,these are my splits after about 60 laps,i think that ,by now,it,s not bad at all.tomorrow will be another day.

0'09''134
0'20''084

I think that i can only download it if i sacrifice the first curves of each section to be able to exit accelerating to the maximum in the curves that precede it...but i can't see for now.

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

OH MY GOD

Ha, ha....I am expecting a 1st place finish from you on this one. 👍 This is your time to shine, show us how its done. 👍

@EDK Since Andrew got his kart TT, how about a NASCAR event sometime in the near future. Maybe somewhere like Suzuka, Spa, or Motegi East. 💡
