IFTC: Race 03 - Completed

[baxnimis]

sorry but I don't remember to change the nick and I made two times, but only Arebufo_rootbe is right

please use always the same name on GTRP race DB

 

[Mr P]

I'm absolutely gutted with this combo now and have been racing it for the last 3 hours with no improvement even though I have been ahead of my best ghost at T2 by nearly .2 a couple of times ... it's always at that horrible end bend that stuffs me up everytime! I have no more will to race this ever again

Gotta say though I am simply amazed at the standard of drivers taking part in this comp as I'm not used to finishing outside the top 10 on most of the events I enter! .. let alone outside the top 20 for 3 events on the trot

maybe I should consider ditching the wheel and incar view and go back to the trusty old pad and kiddy view as I'm basically clutching at straws for an excuse for my poor show boohoo

uploading replay to GTRP .. Good luck to all

 

[Sphinx]

Here's an interesting stat and maybe food for thought, Ron:

Verifying so many replays recently, I've noticed that the majority of top drivers use the racing line. ??

 

[Mr P]

I think something is hampering me badly and can't really put my finger on it?

I still use the wheel with feedback on 1 and never use the driving line are defo possibilities .. will have to experiment and work on these 2 I suppose 👍

 

[spyrrari]

OK SO MY PS3 JUST DIED ON ME ...
YELLOW LIGHT OF DEATH!!!!!.....

That's horrible. I bought my 60 gig used on ebay, I've stopped worrying about when it's going to die, I just hope for the best and blow the dust out of it every couple days.

Ron, I hear your pain! Still searching for a sub-58 second lap here. I think I'll try the racing line, should have done that for Fuji where I have few points of reference for braking. I switched from Simulation to Professional mode for my DFGT a couple weeks ago, I think I'll try switching back, it just doesn't feel as tight on-center as it did before.

i am sorry to hear that

thats exactly my problem, too. there is no way to repair this. Guarantee of 12 months is over, so i have to pay 230,- for a replacement console

I know how you feel Ron, I would be happy to finish in the top 30, I just can't break into the 57's, Just spent an hour myself on this combo, and went from 0'58.130 to 0'58.051.

 

[baxnimis]

....Just spent an hour myself on this combo, and went from 0'58.130 to 0'58.051.

but I'm sure that with an improvement of 80/1000 you gain at least 5 ranking positions !!!!

 

[Hyper-Dan]

I did move up the board a bit, but damn I wanted a 57.xxx.

That's one thing I might have to try.. 👍 I have my 3rd session still to do with this combo, hoping for a miracle on the last bend...

Spyrrari, sad to hear that Hope to get you back soon, we need you 👍

 

[ripping_silk]

I think I've done close to 400 laps on this. Another 50 or so today. But just cannot better my time. I got very close today, registering 6 or 7 sub 58's.
But my time on this is over, and I just have to settle for a 57.873".
Was a great combo nonetheless, and one where I'm quite proud of my time. Not good enough to get GTP points, but I edged closer than i have been in previous meets. Alas the Lotus around backwards London is another story...

 

[Stotty]

2 hours at Suzuka East this morning for a massive improvement of 2 100ths! At first I was nailing T1 & T2 but couldn't get T3, then I worked out T3 and lost the ability to drive T2... AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!

I must have had over 50 laps in the 57.9xx's, but just can't seem to break into the next level.

 

[Timppaq]

Great combo, really addictive.. occasionally done every corner better but putting those on one lap appears to be too much for me. Amazing times in the top 3!!

edit:

yeah mate is sucks superbig time this!!!
tried everything to get it fixed(took out HDD,cleaned,cables out,...)nothing workes,its just dead with my game stuck into it...

tomorrow is the deadline for turning in the replay and am sure i have to pass on that one...let alone try to better my time on this event!!!i had this whole day free at last(had very little time in the last 3,5 weeks)to really have a good long session on this race,but all went to hell...!!!!!

👎👎👎

i will do everything possible tomorrow to get it fixed somehow,but the chance this will work is like 0.000001%...

Good luck with getting it sorted mate, will miss you if you have to drop out - we're having a great battle! You're one of my most reliable measures - I know if I get close you I'm doing well.

Be careful connecting the hdd to another ps3 as the hdd is encrypted and tagged to it's original ps3, connecting it to another system will format the hd to that ps3 and your data will definitely be erased.

And because the hdd is encrypted connecting it to a pc won't work either unfortunately. I was in the same situation as you and ended up getting another ps3 and had to replay all my damn games because I couldn't get my game saves from the old hd, because of that I always make sure to back up my ps3 and game saves
