was there to that day ... Grey ; french reg ; E30 4 door Mtech1 M3 3L engine now replaced with the E46 in avatar .... the E30 doing the videofilming the aftermatch of the crash is a freind too
BTG = Bridge to Gantry ( that is first bridge on the straight ( as you enter mid straight ) to the gantry at the start of the straight.... )
Question: I noticed the miles I'm driving in Arcade mode aren't counting on the car's odometer (stats). Do they count toward miles driven on the track (as shown on the stats page)?
2- High speed corners are the most likely to kill if you get it wrong, so my guess is that those must be the ones where Horst is more conservative. That might explain the difference in the high speed grip.
Another possibility is that downforce is stronger in game, although its unlikely.
yep BBS RX 215 in 17inch with 325mm brakes in them ( HiSpec )
there is a red one too that i built and is reg in Frankfort ( GG or DA reg depending on the date; it is a red mtech2 coupe; 3L M3 engine too. hartge 16inch rims. )
the video filmed from my freinds E30 3L2 ; @ 9.55 you see the afetrmath... its helll ( green hell )

and my actual toy if you ever go back and come accross this E46 ( its a french reged RHD with a CS spoiler ) ; dont hesitate ; come see the team
Sounds a little odd, but there is nothing better to me, in gaming terms, than driving the Nordschleife at either dusk or twilight ( into the pitch black late night ) in my Takata Dome NSX '03 or Honda S2000 LM Race Car, listening to dark ambient drone like this :
The 1 hour 33 minute running time helps matters
I zone out.
The track has EVERYthing one could want. As lame as it sounds, you become one with the car and track and the pure joy of driving around it relaxes and fill me with euphoria at times, depending on how well i am driving lol
I don't make great times, despite using the excellent car-tunes that have been posted on GTPlanet, but i don't mind. Just happy to hot lap until the sun comes up
@Stotty About that comparison of apex speeds I might have been right with my second guess, despite having deemed it as unlikely (I forgot we were dealing with PD here and with data that is hard to find and test).
Sport Auto actually tests the downforce of cars at 200 km/h. The 12C was tested as having 2kg in front and 62 kg in rear. And the manufacturer claims 120 kg total downforce at 300 km/h. The car in game has level 0 in front and level 80 in rear. I don't know how much it would translate in kg, but I would guess that it is little more.
As added information, some cars that were tested by Sport Auto compared to the downfoce level in game:
Car - test at 200 km/h (F/R) - downforce level in game (F/R)
Ferrari 458 - (-32kg / +31kg) - (100 / 200)
Aventador - (-28kg / +73kg) - (50 / 100)
Corvette Z06 - (-49kg / -22kg) - (0 / 0)
And some that I don't know the real downforce, but the in game seems uncannily high:
McLaren F1 - (200 / 450)
Jaguar XJ220 - (200 / 450)
The downforce is strong on those ones.
That certainly contributes for the differences in apex speed and lap time, as maintaining momentum in high speed corners plays a big role on Nordschleife.
Been here on GTPlanet some years now :-D
Started to drive the Nordschleife for real back in 2006 With my modified Nissan 200SX S14A. Have approx 300 laps for real there, and late March this year I will join the RPR Racing Team and start to race a Renault Clio RSIII in the V3 class, RCN and VLN. Have done one Rad am Ring as well.. was hard and my best lap on the bicycle was one hour flat. Have driven various cars there, my Nissan 200SX with 340 BHP / 422 Nm on teh rear wheels, fast car ;-) and some rentals as Scirocco, VW GTi V, Suzukis Swifts, Opel Corsa OPC and now: my Alfa Romeo 159 SportWagon Ti diesel badger...black with norwegian plates. Will be training with the Clio on 21-22.03 and will be driving my Alfa round there on Sunday 23rd March. Anyone here that weekend ? , come over and say hello :-)
I have a proper Obsession with the Nürburgring ;-)
..and I am closer to 4000 laps than 3000 laps if I do summary of the GT4, GT5 and GT6 ;-)

Tuner Comments:
I decided to get out my happy pink and black S2000 LM racer, and stick a big turbo on it today. The result? An S2000 LM Turbo.
With a few tweaks here and there, and a new gearbox to try and use some of this car's (lack of) torque, this is going to be my new favorite 525-540pp car. It is surprisingly smooth and extremely stable, and the brakes are more than a little insane. I just hope everyone enjoys this car as much as I do.
you probably have met marc M3 then ??
one of my swiss friends :
and the V8 M3 from Devotec :
we need to find a M4 and it all be full house M3 on the ring ...( or should i say find a M3 E36 as well as the E36 is destroyed ( nothing to do with the ring )
you know... its a hole; its the ring; + the cars + the people there ... its 'scary - magic '
I've gotten better at the ring apparently, improving most of my tested machines by over 4 seconds
For example here are my most recent stock laps on GT5:
Ferrari Enzo Ferrari (Yes, it's driveable): 7:11 vs 7:19
Ford Ford GT '06: 7:13.1 vs 7:16
Ferrari 458 Italia: 7:13.9 vs 7:19
Lamborghini Murcielago LP-670 4 SV: 7:10 vs 7:13
Scheduled:
Fully broken in Lexus LFA '10 (time to beat is 7:15)
McLaren F1 once again (Time to beat is 7:02)
I'm not on GT6 yet but I imagine this will make my times faster. Altough I don't really take into consideration realism when Ring lapping in-game as I test mainly to compare machines within the boundaries of the game.Those times are incredible to me, what tires do you use? I know that I'm a very mediocre driver, but still those times are FASSSSTTTT!
Not to take anything away from your time improvements between titles, but everyone has gotten faster in GT6 at any track because of the flaws in the physics. There's less drag and you accelerate to higher top speeds way faster than you ever could in GT6. You could take it as an improvement if not for the fact that a bit of testing shows that all cars are now capable of faster top speeds than the real life cars they are modeled on. In GT5 the top speed of all cars was very nearly spot on. Heck even I'm faster everywhere in GT6!
Dragonthing was/is a "she" not a he..I tired to do a thing, with regards to having fun on the 'ring.
I've tuned my S2000 LM Race Car recently, taking Dragonthing's original GT5 tune and trying to transpose it to GT6.
This tune is based on Dragonthing's GT5 tune, below.
My absolute favourite drive in GT5 was the Honda S2000 LM Race Car, once it had this absolutely incredible tune by forum member Dragonthing

I'm happy i could get a 6.51 lap out of this on the Nordschleife, but it's my first ever try AND it was with my limited driving skills, so i imagine a proper GT'er could get a much nicer time out of this tune.
Important Note: If anyone finds this tune worthwhile of taking on and improving, i defer all credit to the forum user Dragonthing, as it is based off of his previous tuning for GT5 ( linked in this post for reference, above ). I've merely tried to transpose it for GT6, because i could not find a GT6 tune of this car anywhere.
I find it a really fun drive and the 6.51 was me pushing it. Some real seat-of-the-pants moments, which were exciting and fun, rather than me struggling to keep the car under control. It is an S2000 after all, so is pretty damn stable from the off
I'd love for someone, with enough credits to throw away, to take what i have done and improve it, as it clearly does need it. The transmission and the downforce in particular.
Hope it's passable for a first try ! Remember, I am racing this ( to get a 6.51 ) with racing softs AND Traction Control set to 1, so it's quite an amateur tune by me ( not Dragonforce's original tune! ), so i've made it easy for myself, but perhaps one of you top quality racers on here, might be able to mess aroudn with it, to allow for a 'true' GT tune, meaning no ABS, TC etc... but i'm having a lot of fun with it as it is, at this moment
Dragonthing was/is a "she" not a he..
Sooner or later I'll get around to adapting this FITT Race Car Tuner Challenge S2000 LM Tune to GT6, but I've yet to get out of the 450PP ranks as far as tuning goes
BTW try getting rid of the camber altogether, it's slowing you down and are those toe settings for real?
Mileage on the track always counts.Question: I noticed the miles I'm driving in Arcade mode aren't counting on the car's odometer (stats). Do they count toward miles driven on the track (as shown on the stats page)?
No plans to look at it at the moment so yeah, when it's done it's done..Thanks for the reply !
I am absolutely looking forward to your LM Race Car tune indeed ! Do you have an estimated release date or is it just done when it's done ? I'll keep checking back on your threads on the look out for it 👍
It's a general discussion of the Nordschleiife in the game. We can talk about laps just as much as how terrifying Flugplatz in a ZR-1 is I guess.If you guys are comparing lap times, there's a thread specifically for that:
https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/gt6-nürburgring-lap-time-board.294583/
@sparkytooth
Oh sorry, I thought when you said you'd gotten faster and showed the different times you were showing GT5 vs GT6. Now I don't know what I even got that from! My bad. Still good times nonetheless. 👍I'm not on GT6 yet but I imagine this will make my times faster. Altough I don't really take into consideration realism when Ring lapping in-game as I test mainly to compare machines within the boundaries of the game.
I use Sports Hard tyres for all my ring laps on the humble DS3.

I'm aware of the boards, I've been told about 4 times already but I remain on GT5's dynamics simulation. I'm only telling you kids about my recent exploits on the Nurburgringing Nurburgring.I think he's just pointing that out in case you want to do a more comprehensive comparison and participate in the boards - not that you can't post about it here.
Correct me if I'm wrong, @ProjectWHaT
