Lexus IS F CCS-R '11 One Lap Time Trial: Nürburgring 24H

[JamesLSn1]

new here just did this time trial. I was having trouble with ds3 using the d pad which is what i always use. So I switched to analog and got 6 sec faster, finally got gold 9:19.211 almost flipped car lol

 

[t_wilson01]

Still 6 secs to lose though, will try again another day or i'll end up rage-quiting forever lol

and of my friends list only josh & i have a lap done it seems.

Hey Matt, you're having fun with this TT I see. I'll be joining your rage in a while. I can't believe Josh didn't gold this one. What on earth is going on?

edit: Josh ran a 9:08. Order has been restored.

 

[Jbaffoh]

I'm just as sick of reading what his cheer squad says, same old same old. Who'll be the next baby sitter?
Furthermore, I have been told I will never beat him so why wouldn't I post when I have?
Mind you, my post was in no way offensive by any stretch of the imagination so what's the problem, people here regularly talk about getting in front of someone or other, nothing malicious in it.

Are you insinuating I'm part of his "cheer squad?" I asked him to take this crap elsewhere as well. I doubt anyone wants to wade through this crap in every seasonal thread. Rant over.

I finally achieved gold. Yay. I was stuck at 9'24.120 and was driving too aggressively to complete laps. Instead of rage quitting, I tried active steering once. 9'15.890. Damn, now I feel dirty.

 

[RACECAR]

Took several frustrating tries, but I finally golded it.

Congratulations on getting gold RACECAR, but perhaps posting an external view of your race would be a better choice though. Nearly 5 minutes of looking at a black screen doesn't do it for me. Cheers mate.

No, wasn't saying you were part of his cheer squad, I had read your post on it earlier.

Dirty or not you've posted a pretty decent time, especially when taking 9 seconds off. Maybe I should be chasing you, ha ha.

I record all of my seasonal timed laps this way, its purely for aethestics as I've always liked the replay cockpit views since GT5. Just so happens this format with the time/weather change happened to add a little extra to them.

 

[DiscoStew]

Yeah it ain't nothing easy to learn track this long this way. Try doing some laps in freerun mode in some nice car, after you start to have some idea how to flow tru the track whit some momentum, try it again.

And yeah, it's really hard to comprehend how those top guys do it, I mean i could find couple seconds on PB but still wouln't be even no were near them.

or go to GT5 and do the Nurb 24hr race, I certainly know the track pretty well after that It took me three weeks to find 24 hours of driving time, so the seasonal may be gone by the time you finish, so that's probably a bad idea.

Could you explain to me JamesLSn1 what you mean here? I use a DS3 (buttons) but what is the 'd pad' and how/what is the switch to analog? Thanks mate.

 

[meek]

pad=directional button
analog=joystick(s)

The two sticks in the middle of the controller, it helps smooth the car and makes it easier to control on quick left to right changes like the cone challenges.

 

[t_wilson01]

Success!! Getting gold in this TT is a personal victory. I've raced here so few times that I honestly didn't think it possible, specially after running a 9:36 on my first complete lap last night. I was on pace for a sub 9:15 lap right up to the carousel, but sadly it went down hill after that as the following section is pretty unknown to me. Then again I should be glad for having completed the lap, since I almost went off three times in that last section.

Thanks for that mate, forgot what the analog was.

Why they aren't just called the directional buttons or the joysticks fails me. Still, I expect I'll know next time, thanks for the replies fellas.

 

[GTP_Richtofen]

i give up on this. no gold for me on this one

How far off are you? Practicing offline can do wonders for your lap times. And if you're using the driving line, turn it off. I thought it would help, but I was going slower because I was concentrating on the line and not on the track.

For a couple of years the Nurb had been my most deaded track. I founded it daunting and couldn't believe how anyone could memorize such a long track. Now I'm starting to enjoy this track quite a bit.

AHHHHHHH WHY!!!!
Previous best time - 9:20:640
New best time - 9:20:134!!!!!!!
Great, another 50 more DQ's until i complete a clean Lap... hopefully 0:00:134 faster. UGH!

I'm just too inconsistent ... maybe have got below 9;25 a couple times. and red lapped 800

 

[lisanorm]

i first did this with ds3 which i golded with,and lots of laps later got down to the 15,16's but i could not go any faster,so thought bugger this and got the old 200° wheel out,after getting used to this little wheel and several dq's my time started coming down and finally got under 9:10 and i was very chuffed hard work for me but this was fun...i am not the fastest out there with either but it is possible for those like me....ds3 settings abs 1 and sens on 6 i had drive line on but you can make your own.........and yes knowing the track does help a lot, practice in offline mode but time can be made up anywhere...........good luck to all.👍.....oh and i also got my fastest time on the other tt with me little wheel

I concur. Anyone who claims that the average racer using a DS3 is the same as the average racer using a wheel is living in another world.
I have found in this race that fast/sweeping curves especially, would be much easier with a wheel. Where you can hold the line without having to tap tap tap on the way around.
And tap tap tap means taking ones finger on and off the controller.
At the risk of argument, I am 4 seconds (at the finish) behind someone in a, over 9 minute, race who uses the best wheel on the market. I don't begrudge anyone using the best tools available, eg, we now ALL use SRF when it's available, but claiming racing superiority is a tad ingenuous in my opinion. Horses for courses.
I don't know how many people are faster than me in this race who use the buttons and I don't care, but I know some wheel users aren't. Well, there you go.

yes my steering with my ds3 was never smooth because i always have my thumb off and on the stick and twitchy movements and yes the wheel helped me be more smoother,but there are several faster than me using ds3 with sticks......i will see how i go with next lot of TT's

 

[JamesLSn1]

It really just depends. I only have a ds3 so I have to gold with ds3, but when I look at time on leader boards i'm beating wheel users. I know id be faster with a wheel though. Also there was a guy that made it to finals in GT Academy using ds3

Since I know you are referring to me here, how could you not , I hardly use the best wheel on the market. (G27) Take your ass whipping and stop making excuses.

 

[ODB]

I concur.

So let me get this straight, you are a 66 old geezer doing it whit DS3? I mean I honestly thought you were some punk kid just being disrespectful for no obvious reason (AKA trolling). But since you probably think that trolling has something to do whit halloween and I'm that three and a half decades younger than you, seems like I'm the only punk kid here

But really though, I know it's a great feeling to beat someone you always thought were faster than you, and yes you can mention it on forum, no problem, just don't TRY to rub it on anybody's face (which you were obviously trying to do and not even very successfully) since it's nothing but unsportsmanlike.

And as you mentioned on you current post that "Anyone who claims that the average racer using a DS3 is the same as the average racer using a wheel is living in another world" it really wonders why you'r even trying to compete guys who are first of all well above average and obviously doing it whit wheel? I mean, you only gonna disappoint
your self time and time after. And I really recommend that you check out your google for any second had wheels on you area for future. (just search for second hand logitech driving force gt wheel, they should be quite affordable)

And for the future, next time you maybe wan't to wait until the registration period expires before you start bragging

At some tracks a select few DS3 users can compete but if the Corvette/Nurb TT from GT5 is any indication, at least 5 seconds is the gap between wheel and DS3 there on the old course, more on the 24hr.

 

[Pizzle13]

i dont really aim for gold on the seasonals as i usually always reach them in 2 to 3 laps
so my personal goal was under 9 minutes wich i was able to reach 8:59,xxx it was close but still heheheh
i actually liked this combo alot with the long track and time changes,
the car is ok too but i figure the standard setup on the lexus is more suited for flat tracks like monza and such

 

[Dalone]

Ha ha, the 1st 38 racers here use the same wheel as you do, I would suggest it's the best available. No idea if it's the most expensive, just that it is obviously the best available for GT6.

 

[Pizzle13]

me personally i bought a used g25 for 100 euros and have been top 50 a few times and usually finnish top 100
my best finnish was 36th place in london with the peugeot
my best friend bought a brand new g27 and he his over 41 seconds behind me on this lexus seasonal
a spanish psn friend is very close to my times and he plays with controller and steers with d-pad ...
hes so close that sometimes he even beats me ...
so i think the wheel itself plays only a certain role asfar as times go

my conclusion is: its about perfecting what is availible to you

 

[BrunoI_SRE]

Long tracks were never made for TTs

No, the best would be made by Thrustmaster and Fanatec, those are the higher end wheels that most people would consider the best, or among the best. The G27 is the middle of the road but very good for the price range, but by far not the best. I'm not sure how you know exactly which wheels the first 38 are using as all it says in the description is that they are using a wheel (900 degree Sequential Gearbox Racing Wheel with one using a Gated Gearbox Racing Wheel), doesn't say what brand of wheel. Furthermore, just because most may be using the G27, doesn't mean its the best, only that it is one of the most affordable. I really wish you would pick yourself up a wheel so you can stop using that as an excuse. Like I told you before, there are plenty of fast DS3 users, you could be one of them too if you actually applied yourself.

 

[Flash_Sweden]

Holy 🤬! I really like this car, and track (well, the Nordschleife part), but the combination of these 2 is insane to say the least. I can't remember any previous TT in either GT5 or 6 that has been so hard for me to gold.

I started with a ssllooww 9:31,xxx and an uncountable amount of DQ's after that. Never touched it for a week, and managed to get down to 9:21,xxx yesterday.

Today I started getting DQ'd before even entering the Nordschleife, until finally getting 2 second ahead of my ghost somewhere aroung Wipperman. I was looking forward to an "easy" "cruise" down to get the gold, when I get a notification that I've been logged out from PSN For the first time in 6 months, my router decided enough is enough.🤬

That isn't really the best thing to see, and it really ruined my concentration, wich of course resulted in another DQ

Oh well, up and at it again. Logged back in on PSN, and got an early lead on my ghost, again getting 2+ seconds ahead somewhere around Bergwerk. Of course, by the end of the lap, I'm getting cautious, ending up with getting 9:20,140

🤬!!🤬!

But after another 2-3 attempts, I FINALLY got 9:19,319 👍

To those struggling and don't want to go through all the pages to find some tips:

1: Don't ever accelerate out from a corner in a lower gear than 3rd. At least I only used 2nd gear to slow down, NEVER to accelarate.

2: Most important. don't give up!!

But....what am I doing here? I've got some cars to paint now that I've finally gotten the best orange there is in this game

Great job, you should be very proud.

@Flash_Sweden Congrats to you as well, great job. Just shows what a little perseverance and not giving up can do. Really happy for both of you, as well as anyone else who has accomplished their goal in this event. 👍

To those that are still trying, follow what these guys have done and don't give up, you can do it. Stick with it and good things will come. If you don't keep trying, you will never succeed. Good luck everyone. Stay fast.

 

[ALB123]

I feel so depressed.I know I am not in the same league as most of you guys, but I can usually Gold the Seasonal Events. It might take several attempts, but I can usually do it. Not this one. My best time is 9:30... I watched the video replay of the World #1 driver. It's like he throws his car into corners sideways. I have no delusions to think I could some day post an 8:42 lap, but I am very bummed that I can't beat 9:20 for a Gold. :SIGH:
