Oh wow I didn't know this was possible. Sweet, thank you!

Just found out myself yesterday browsing through the menus, and it's the best of both worlds: You get a reference of your best lap without having to tell yourself the ghost car isn't really there

Much better with supercharger installed. But S2 is being hard for me since that GIANT mirror view gets about 98% of my screen

I know it won't solve the problem but choosing narrower cockpit view might help a bit I think

Sorry for the double post. How do I delete my own posts? I erase the whole text in edit but the post is still there...

I just had the most peculiar experience.
I removed the SC and then came very close to beat my own best lap .
Then I had an idea, to upgrade the car, drive a lap or two in a faster car then remove the upgrades and see if I can beat those faster laps.
Question: Will installing and removing upgrades prior to racing another submittable lap be considered illegal

I just did.

Original tyres (SS).

Sector 1 I was pretty close, but S2 and S3 I lost almost 2s.
Well, I have a week to work on it. Lets go!

Got in a little 10 lapper this morning

25.122
53.705

And a whopping 4 tenths at the line

No.

The ghost 'car' is a real pain, but one of my favourite features in GT6is the ghost 'line'. It makes chasing the ghost meaningful and useful, without blocking my view

It's not obvious to set, it is done from the quick menu while driving, set ghost type to line

I turn it on and off during the lap (programmed a button for it) as the red and yellow arrows overlap a lot when I'm only a tenth or two off the ghost.

No idea this was possible. Thanks for the tip. 👍

 

[Nemo Niente]

No.

Thank you 👍
Now why on earth would I do this?
I realized I am scared of messing up and of going fast. If I go a few laps FAST, and don't mess up (which I will because I can't help it...) I might trick myself into going faster in areal legal lap...

 

[Deton]

Just started todays session and already got a slight improvement:

24.967
53.667

Hopefully more to come!

Careful about doing this later in the week. You might set a very good lap with the illegal faster car and then while running with the legal settings you get within 0.001 of the ghost... guess what, since it's not your best lap of the session you can't save it as a ghost replay so the effort is lost. The same goes for a dirty fast ghost.... they can nullify a good clean lap.

On the ghost. I use a real ghost car early in the week to learn and then I switch to a line later in the week. When I'm often in front of the ghost, early in the week, I like to see it in my mirror and see where I'm gaining on it and losing to it when it's in my mirror. You can't see the "line ghost" unless it's in front of you. Once I get a lap that's hard to match I turn to the line ghost. It'll be in front of me most of the time and it's much less distracting. Being able to switch on track from the pause menu is really great.

Ran this track a few weeks back in SNAIL and was far off pace. Tried this combo last night and realize I haven't improved much . Definitely have to spend time to learn that track. Enjoying the car though 👍.

Edit: Oh right, the important stuff...

25.533
54.700

 

[Nemo Niente]

@WRP001 Yes. Only gonna use it to get over my fear of 105 mph before T1.

 

[iainoflo85]

@WRP001 You can delete ghosts in Arcade Mode now. Dirty ones or just wrong spec ones.

 

[Thematic]

I'm liking the car but I only got three corners down. 287 km for a first sitting gave me these:

T1: 26.265
T2: 57.098

The third lap down the list was already point six sec slower. However, I'm positive both the splits and final will go down if I put half as much into it than the TT last week.

So it would be better to deprive the WRS of a chance to thrash the Pozzi around than you either putting up with it or using a different view?

I put up with it by making the contrast between the road in front of me and the one in the mirror, larger. Ie. early dawn.

Do you practice with a visible ghost car or not?

I have the line and it's off more often than on. Because my three fastest laps may be quite different to each other.

Steward's Comments:

One of my personal favourites of GT6 thus far, the Pozzi Camaro is fun on just about every track. Plenty of grip, plenty of traction, plenty of power. Smile while you thrash it round California's very own High Speed Ring and the first Grand Prix circuit in the US. Makes you proud to be American... and I'm English

@Vagabond, Being English makes you the ultimate baddy. Thanks for posting this bad-ass combo, I'll get right on it

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

Dang blower is getting kicked to the curb.

 

[WillRacer31]

new times
24.893
53.226

and a whole tenth at the line

 

[ollie57]

I just had another hour.. doing this one.. beat my best time by a whole.. 0.001.. at the line..

 

[Deton]

25.000
53.483

A .7xx T1 is out there, as I've seen a couple, but it's hard (once again) to string together a lap with decent times on every sector, and I'm pretty sure my T3 is quite bad. Such a hard corner that last one.. can't even count how many times I've flipped my poor Pozzi on the exit.

Might've hit my daily peak for this one, probably better call it a day before frustration starts to crawl in.

 

[Serialf]

Now then. I can see what all the fuss is about using a wheel and rig. What a circuit. What a car. Total immersion.

That said I can't drive with a steering wheel for toffee. I need lessons as I just can't recover it when I feel the back end go. I need to completely throw everything I learned completely out of the window. Advice warmly welcome as I'm pants.

Splits fwiw:

25.953
56.770

If you are using a wheel only with a few hours of practice, i will soon notice progress with more practice. That is my opinion based on my own experience.

 

[Serialf]

Btw, my splits, that i have to improve dramaticaly :
26.259
55.643

 

[btcanon]

25.453
54.619

 

[ollie57]

Found some speed at last..

25.352
54.502

 

[Nemo Niente]

Ok, just had 25.xxx on t1...
My problem not so much the crazy right-hander just before T1 as the very first left-hander. I cannot decided at what speed and in what gear. Too fast and the car slides into the sand. Too slow and I don't get enough speed to initiate the right-hander nicely...
Any suggestions?

Edit: I know it sounds crazy but the speed from left to right is actually important to find the line in the right-hander.

 

[gazleton]

I'm enjoying this combo. When I watch the replay I can't believe how wide I am on the apex of some of the corners. I use the bumper cam and it looks really close from that angle. Here are my splits after about an hour of trying.
26.100
56.783

 

[Crozzlow]

Funny how the current top 3 in D3 first splits are all xx.183........freaky.......D3 is haunted.....

It's not really milliseconds for splits, it's rounded up to whatever the precision is.

 

[mohammad]

is it just me or you cant afford to have a wheel off track with this?!

 

[WRP001]

No way... the dirt plus the big drop off at the end of the tarmac means there are few places you'll survive touching anything off track. Verifying replays should be fairly easy... if you are far enough out that your two inside tires are over the white line I can't image you can complete the lap at all forget end up with a decent time. Maybe the entry to pit lane could be a problem, but I can't think of another place to cut and not kill your lap.
