6 cars to go now. Finished with Praiano's GT86 and I've got MrGrado's Z32 up next. After the Z32 I'll update my testing page. 👍

Also I'm never testing a multi-track shootout again. :lol:
 
ok it was an 86 night for me tonight Praino, Motor City, Roj, Jack, and Uga's 86's were tested, read them here they are not super long. These were all done on a different track... had enough of the tracks i said to do... so i am doing my feed back on a different one.

ugabugaz please keep your LFA on share for testers.
 
And this was one of the 2 shootouts that I actually put some proper effort into…:(

Stop talking about how great NFS is then and I'll consider coming back and giving you some love?!?....that may have come out a little bit off.... oh well

At heart i am a massive advocate of GT, I used to love NFS, most wanted back to the first title.... but all the new ones are just way too arcadey....

Anyways.... back to finish off work then home to test some rides:tup:👍

Work can wait, GT5 laptimes are what matters!!

Here are graphs of laptimes so far:

My first reaction is that nomis3613 is quite slow (don't need no fancy graphs to work that out!! :dunce:), and needs to check that the handbrake wasn't on at Tsukuba for CSLACR, ACSR, sheephead and ugabugaz laps (probably also a some cars at Suzuka, but need to get more results in before jumping to conclusions).

Also, there's quite a spread between testers, taking Tsukuba as an example, ryan found that Onboy's car was slightly quicker than Motor City Hami's. But the average lap time (across all 4 testers) is slightly quicker for Motor City Hami's car than Onboy's.

Thats really cool with the graphs. And the spread between drivers is why i decided to take the avg of both laps from the testers so we get the avg and even out the graph a bit.
 
Nice graphs nomis.👍👍

Would love to see graphs for the 490PP and 520PP groups as well!:crazy::D
 
I'm somewhat satisfied with the times my tunes are getting. Nowhere near the fastest, but they're competitive and hopefully the cars are fun to drive as well haha! being as they are predominantly Touge-style setups.

Also.. I managed to get online this weekend and accepted a number of outstanding friend requests.
 
This VTiRog guy is doing pretty well according to those charts. Anyone know who he is? Never seen a post from him before. :confused:

Even though I won't have time to test as I planned, I did drive your NSX @ 550, and it is hands down the fastest car here, period.
Not that that's a secret. :lol:

TUNER: Jackthalad
MAKE&MODEL: Toyota GT-86 '12
CIRCUIT:Tsukuba TIME: 1:02.279
CIRCUIT:Suzuka TIME: 2:21.659

Bit of understeer, i would call it safety understeer, really have to push it to get it to do any kind of oversteer. Good car if you need a 500pp car for grip just had a 10 more pp and its there.

Thanks for feedback, thats kind of what I was aiming for. I tuned this car on Cape Ring, focusing on the spring rates and camber mostly. When I could get the car to go around the full circle part of the track full throttle without hitting the walls I was satisfied that I had balanced the under/oversteer.
The majority of the time tuning this car was only on the spring rates, all the rest of the settings I pretty much set them at the start of tuning and left them like that.

I'm getting lazy with tuning now....... and testing, Still havent taken any of the 550 cars for a test yet, and to be honest really cant see it happening either.

Sorry about that - will do.

Gonna start on Suzuka now - God that's gonna be a massive pain - even more so since I set some stupid quick times in certain cars. Ugh, Y U SO FAST ME some of the time, I hate you.

Edit: ACSR's Suzuka time up! Surprisingly quick especially after Tsukuba.

That's surprising. I was expecting to be shot down by the LFA's with their 100bhp+ advantage and electronic wizardry. :lol:
And it isn't even lifted! :dopey:

:lol:

Testing MrGrado's Z32 right now. Note to testers, it comes with no ABS. :lol: I put it to 1 like all the other cars for fairness sake. Hopefully that's cool. 👍

Edit: Results for Praiano and MrGrado up. 5 cars left!

Dunno, maybe you could look him up on PSN, his ID is RoggieE. Also, there's a Praiano competing who's missing an "i".

XDes, sorry I'm not inspired to make versions for all the other groups. If anyone wants to do it, let me know and I'll PM you the spreadsheet.
