How much you guys usually run these TT's? How do you think It's working for you? Do you take same sort of brakes while grinding?

For me it's from 1 hour up to over 4 hours a day. And the why I ask is just to see how you guys do it and would there be something I haven't tryed out yet. I mean there's no way form me to do any more hours, so I should try to figure out some new ways to spend my time whit the game. I mean straight out grinding is good for me I can improve just by finding better lines, but there could still be different ways to get better.
 
its hard for me to find a great deal of time,work night shift so may jump on for an hour when get home,then dealing with the kids and other stuff,but come the weekend i could spend a good 8 hrs depending if i am free to do so,so for tt's if i like one over the other thats where i will spend most of my time,redbull lap i have done about 2000 k's but im done if i cant beat or be with my time thats it i pull the plug.......so basically if i dont have time its just jump in few laps and out.

Thanks mate, I think I'll do that one's I have the time to figure out the system. I mean I'm not the best in reading and it seems there's a lot of rules. And if you could it would be nice to open it up even just a bit how it works. (sorry i'm lazy and I'll figure it out as soon as I got some time on my hands and don't want to drive)

It depends on the TT. Sometimes I'll just gold and get out if I don't care for the combo car/track. However if I really like the TT I might put in 500 or so laps maybe more- it's about the fun factor with me. When the fun wears out I'm done. I usually run a 20 or 30 lap session- take a break for an hour and come back when I have the time to do it. I just started playing seasonals back in April of this year- didn't have a proper internet connection for GT5, but with practice and patience I feel that I have steadily improved, but also know that I have a long way to go as well. Also running non seasonal TT in arcade mode helps a lot as well. As soon as the Red Bull Ring became available- I tried out a bunch of cars at different PP levels to get a feel for it.

I go at it for 1-3 hours at a time, several days a week. I used to do 4+ hours pretty much everyday and end up doing 2000 miles per TT (I'm on disability). I figured out a couple months ago that I typically only improve when I'm relaxed and am not trying so hard to beat my time. I used to be so tense and over driving and it just wasn't effective, a lot of bad laps. These days it's easier for me to get a satisfactory time and I'm actually getting better results than I used to. Although it's still a struggle at times and I can get pretty frustrated. That's when I try to take a break.

The thing I struggle with most is inconsistency. I typically do one to two laps then crash. Can't string laps together and get a rhythm going. Very frustrating!
 
I'm about the same as Norm, weekends are my main time . I have my own man cave ( separate living room ) with my own TV and ps3 so I have no problems playing for longer periods.

I don't play much during the week just mainly log on for the bonus then switch off and go on the PC and watch a bit of TV before bedtime.

Sometimes I just get Gold then leave it, sometimes if I get my teeth into I can't stop until I get my goal. :) I to am like many If I am pushing hard I generally struggle to string 2 x laps together.
:cheers:

Edit - My best TT rank in Gt 6 is #99, I have a had a few top #150 results and generally reach top #500 in tuning enabled TTs.

I am improving all the time and hope to match my mate Norm someday :bowdown:. The problem is he keeps on improving at the same rate as me so the gap stays the same. :lol: Oh well looks like I am destined to be chasing that Tiger around indefinatley :lol::lol::lol::lol:

I regularly log onto GTP on my smartphone during the day @ work to check out the Goss :embarrassed:

I mostly login during week to keep bonus up.
I try to get a couple of hours in here and there during week...
...but bulk of time is Friday to Sunday.

The time I put into TT depends on how bad I want to best or catch FRs on my LB.
If I really have my sights set on a TT-related goal, time is of no concern, till I nail it.

No dedicated room here, but rig built to be easily moved for stowage.
Best result for GT6 TT has been 253, and a couple in 500s range, no alien.

900º wheel/no wheel or driving aids/0 ABS.

I’ve a regular 9 to 5 job and my son is in his twenties so I have quite a lot of spare time.
I usually play GT6 for a few hours everyday except on the rare occasions there is something good on TV.

I split my time between the time trials and the seasonal races. If there is a fairly open TT like Ascari I use it as an excuse to buy some new cars, put a rough tune on them and try to get gold. Then I use the seasonal races to get my credits back.

I use a DS3 with X for accelerate and [] for brake, stick for steering, TC and active steering. I find it difficult to use a lot of the tunes that are published by wheel users, for instance the oversteer on Stottys tune makes it difficult to use with limited throttle control. Consequently I create my own tunes, I’m no expert and a lot of it is trial and error so it can be very time consuming.

I’m using the W12 Nardo instead of the X-Bow at Ascari and I’ve managed a 2.08.561. Currently 293rd and this is one of the highest positions I’ve managed. I usually make top 1,000 if the PP is up to 550PP but I’m not very good above 650pp. Also not very good at the stock TTS, usually top 10,000 and it took me over a week to gold some of the GT academy events.
I’ve been developing a Tune for the X-Bow street version. In arcade mode I’m slightly quicker with it than the Nardo but I’ve decided not to use it for the TT. Still hoping to knock a few tenths of the Nardo time.

Here’s my X-Bow tune if anyone wants to try it. I suspect it will be more useful to DS3 users.

TC 3 and Active steering Strong, ABS 1
Rigidity Improvement
Sports Computer
Race Exhaust
Iso Manifold
Cat converter

111kg at -50 gives a 46/54 weight ratio.
Power 94.6% for 357 bhp
Aero default 200 / 300

RH 105 85
Spring 6.43 9.41
Damp C 6 1
Damp Ext 1 2
ARB 4 4
Camb 0 0
Toe -0.14 +0.15
Racing Brakes 4 5
LSD 7/22/15 (triple clutch btw)

Transmission (I use AT)
Final left at 4.00, max set to 112
3.752
2.930
2.351
1.939
1.646
1.439
Final 2.650

btw still on the lookout for more friends, especially DS3 users

i've just finished my first year at college, but spend most of my day working on my track day car. So it's only really evening's and weekends sometimes i get on. I have my ps3 in a seperate room but can't use sound and TV is always blurry. The sun comes through the window to blind me and a guinea pig cage blocks part of the screen, so it's a pain loool
Usually i would do the seasonals until i ranked top 200, usually 30 laps, then i'd give up. could do without the stress. Only TT i tried really hard at was a peugeot at london, i was reunited with my old dirty friend CRANK and achieved rank #21. But i've decided i'm going to try hard for every TT.

It depends on the TT, if I am faster in one, I will focus mostly on that. With college and stuff, time can be hard to find, I try to do about 60-90 minute stints at a time and leave if I run too many red laps. Sometimes it helps to come back to it on another day. Back in January, a ranking of 10 000-20 000 was a big achievement for me but the forums here on GTP have helped me improve. Learnt a few things by reading the basic tuning guide, the posts regarding DS3s about different controller setups and sensitivity etc... The seasonal event tunes that have been posted on GTP have also helped greatly:tup:. Joined this club as I am always looking to learn and improve.

Hey,

If you try one of my tunes and you'd like a different balance, just ask me directly in the thread.

Given I've built it from scratch, and know how the different settings react to each other, it's relatively easy for me to suggest some simple changes if I know where you're having problems.

My tunes primarily use LSD and Rear Toe to manage the balance of the car - so depending on where you have oversteer (corner entry or exit), it's quite easy to adjust these to make the car easier to drive.

I can run high 1'06's with that tune using the DS3, so might be more your style than the tune that's causing the issues - But I can most likely still make the tune easier for you if you let me know what the specific problems are :)

Also... suggest you make an effort to stop using TC. It will hold you back and you'll become reliant on it. If you persevere without it for a while you should become a faster driver. 👍

Hi Stotty,
My problems all stem from the fact I use the X button for the throttle. I've tried R2 and L2 but I'm slower.
I didn't mean to imply there was anything wrong with your tune. I just have rubbish throttle control.

Nothing wrong with using X for throttle... might not be as accurate as the triggers, but it's what I use on the DS3 👍

And didn't interpret your comments that way... my tune won't suit everyone as it stands, but I'm happy to make/suggest changes if needed.

I'm impressed you can go that fast with the X button. There's hope for me yet.

Thanks for the tuning offer, I'll take you up on it sometime.
 
Ok guys new TT out. First we have the Non-Racecar Super lap and then the Rally Car Super lap. I'll add all the info to the OP's this evening. Feel free to post your times and any tunes, i'll add them too. Good luck :)

Have always used the X button for acceleration (don't use sticks for anything) and accept the limits of using it, especially where fine control is concerned. So yes, I sometimes compensate by using TC if I can't find a tune which helps control wheel spin using the LSD. Had stopped using TC in the Ascari race but when I used Stotty's tune I found TC1 or 2 helped a great deal. Finished with 2:07.489 for pos 135.
If I was getting younger instead of older (67) I would probably learn to master the X throttle over time (I recall my adult sons could back in GT 2 or 3), but I stuck with the tap tap tap method.
