New TT & DT #28

[Sander 001]

I've been trying to beat the 86 GT '12 drift at Madrid but I can't get gold. Settings help please!

 

[Obsidian-2]

Nice to see a bit of variety in the 600pp leaderboard top 100... besides the NSX LM Road car and Nissan Road car I see some GT-R SpecVs, the Black edition, Audi R8 4.2 and a ZZII.

Yep, good variety outside of the top for a change. So far I have used a stock Aventador and got gold with it, then moved to a stock GT-R Black Edition and beat gold time. I have since lightened and modded the GT-R and am currently in the 700's with it. AWD helps a lot coming off the corners with the sports hard tires ... just need to tweak it a bit to dial out the understeer. I will save the NSX for later when I want to max out my time. 👍

Totally disagree. This car on comfort hards is an understeering / snap oversteer monster. Surely takes some patience to get it to do what you want.

I used a brand new stock GT86 without oil change.

I only made 3 laps because my 1st lap was feeling the car out (braking on the back straight to be sure my time was under bronze) and the 2nd lap was 2 tenths off gold and the 3rd was well below gold, so I was done.

I found it much easier to drive than I expected on CH tires. It turned in better than I expected and was very neutral and forgiving.

That's at a pace 2 seconds slower than yours, so maybe it has to do with driving the car at 99% or 100%

BTW, I agree with people saying that using the engine limiter is wrong. It does give an advantage over same HP without engine limiter... But when I said that there should be an option to disallow that, even online, everyone was posting saying how wrong I was.... Anyway...

Also, in the SSR7 drfit trial you can easily get a high score in sectors 1 and 3 by rubbing against the wall... Just needs a bit of practice... Which is cheating, whichever way you cut it...

That track... Full of bugs... I read people saying how the Route X was in that clip before it's release and so on... Well, maybe SSR7 was where they filmed "A Bug's Life"...

I thought the DT was a little silly, didn't really enjoy it too much especially since the last two were so good.

 

[rennsport27]

Ended up with a 1:12.0xx I believe, for the Gt86 trial, but just couldn't break that barrier. Also beat the Rome trial in my rediscovered McLaren F1, though can't remember the time. All in all, the new TT's are a lot of fun. Still struggling with the DT's as usual though, two silvers I think.

I'm no drift tuner, and this is from memory, so may not be 100% accurate... but good enough for 17k points even with my limited drifting skills and c.75th place late last night...

Tuned with everything.

Tyres: f: hards r: softs
LSD: 60 60 60
Transmission: top speed c.112mph

Suspension
Ride: fully lowered f & r
Springs: f stock r 10.5
dampers: all stock
ARB: f 3 r 7
Camber: f 2.5 r 10.0
toe: f .10 r 0

You might struggle with front end wash out on the hard/soft combo... it does need a quick stab of the handbrake to initiate the drift, but once there you'll be in 5th and 6th gears full throttle almost all of the time.

If you struggle, try hards on both ends and reduce the rear camber to 0.0... got 15k points on this before switching to softs on the rear.

I bet the Ford GT No Stripe could hang with the GT-Rs and R8s. Got my best time with it.

 

[Penelope]

Last night I got to 71 on Rome with a 1:10.494 in my R8, just looked and I have dropped to 131, looks like I have a little work to do

Thanks tried this, got the gold

Impressive time. i'm 0'2 behind but I used Nsx prototype. I have to try R8 but I don't think I can reach you no matter what car I use

 

[cedpo]

OK, now a 1:12:805, still with the Lambo (but I have just installed wings and therefore reduced power a little to meet the 600PP), number 557 in the world! I know I've got an early start and in 2 days I will probably be out of the top2000 with this time, but still, nice! I just wish I had the R390 or the NSX to see what I could do!
PS: talking about the new Rome TT, just to make it clear in case it isn't...

As I said before... Right now I am just outside of the top2000, about 2070th or something close to that. Will try with a different car now.

Well, I see some of the "monsters" commenting and I fell so bad, then I see some people struggling to get gold with the Toyota and I fell better... LOL. The Toyota one wasn't a real struggle for me, got gold in the 2nd or 3rd lap... I was just trying to get a better time now and I got a 1:12:2, placing me about 5000th if I can recall correctly. I didn't really change too much the standard setup. Just added a wing, changed the gears to a 180kph max speed...

Anyway, good luck to all who still didn't get it, I am sure you guys will make it!

PS: just for the records, I use a DS3.

 

[cedpo]

OK!!!!! 1:11:924 and number 916 in the world in the Rome one! Got that with the R8 4.2 '07 (not the 5.2 '09)... This car has some violent understeering, so I had to tweak it a little, still understeers but it's manageable! And the lap was all but perfect, I am pretty sure there's room to shave off at least some extra 0,3s, maybe 0,5s...

 

[CodeRedR51]

Don't double post, use the edit button.

At Rome I used a fully tuned Lexus IS-F and got it into the 1:13's. Not sure the exact time.

Well, sorry. Why exactly is that? To keep the thread better organized? Well, I personally don't really think it makes any difference... But if most people think otherwise, or if it is a sort of unwritten rule or something, then I really apologize and can start to do that. Just, I write in several other forums (about different subjects, other than GT5) and had never heard that this "double posting" could be a problem... Anyway, OK.

 

[ugabugaz]

Rome
I'm currently at 1:09.933....I simply can't do the chicane properly..I lose so much time there it's just frustrating. I either go too slowly though it or crash to the left of the entrance. Once I figure out the chicane, I just need to work on the last two corners and I'll be fine..But that chicane, UGH!

Bold = pretty much.

We have a multi-quote feature here and people are expected to use it. It's really not that difficult.

Any way of doing TT's if done within the rules is correct, not just yours.

This 👍.

Call it what you want, it's cheating to me. PD put it as 197hp, surely they want people to use a bone stock car. They probably should have given us the car to use like the GT Academy trials.

Do what you want, I find comfort in knowing I did mine 100% legit.

I thought it was very well balanced and easy to control after driving it for the first time now.

Surely PD would have put it at 192HP and Sports Hards and limited PP points if they wanted it to be a bone stock or even supplied it like that if that was fully their intention. However they did not and I guess their intention was to create a time trial for people to get every last drop of performance out of it through tuning and driving.

I bought the car and Comfort Hard tyres for it, no oil change and ran the time trial just now. Did a time of 1:11.794 after a few laps. I think a time under 1:11 is possible with the car completely standard and new from the dealership. I will run the car tuned when I can and will take more comfort doing a competitive time with that setup than my current time with the stock car.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Don't get me wrong, I will be buying suspension, LSD, etc for it tonight to bring my time down. But I will not be adding any power adders.

I will take comfort in running that thing as hard as it will go with no power limiter.

You will be down by 5 BHP on the regulations though. Don't forget the aero parts .

I guess , when the car is broken in , you´ll need the PL

Praiano's 86 GT 12 tune worked great for me at the TT.
1:11.3 I think it was. 1:12.2 bone stock.

edit, LSD 5 5 5

I won't be driving it that much. I'll probably turn another ~10 laps or so tonight and call it good. I only usually do these for the credits anyway because of the whole power limiter issue. This is the most time I've ever put into a time trial seasonal. (except GT Academy)

I'll have to look that up..and allocate some time to the 86 Trial. Been focusing solely on Rome

 

[Saidur_Ali]

Went in with a stock 86' on Tsukuba and did a 1:12.257 on my first lap, then went again on the warmer tyres and got a 1:11.530. A lot more time to come, i just need to polish my corner entries. Good TT!

Did you really do that completely stock? Awesome if you did 👍. Warmer tyres? I don't think GT5 really simulates that.

 

[CodeRedR51]

It does, not that well though.

 

[Saidur_Ali]

I thought it only really affected when you made tyre indicator completely red and it stayed red for a while after getting full traction. Anyway braking performance and powering out of corners seems just as good on the first lap to me as the second lap so there really is no such thing as cold tyres in GT5 but there could be a small difference like you mention. I think the indicator is more to do with tyre wear personally but have not tested to see if that is correct. Maybe the initial tyre indicator colour is when tyre wear or grip levels is at its best.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Dark blue tires = cold = no traction. Especially online. It's there, just not implemented entirely correct.

Will test online and offline to see if that is the case. Might be a good idea for me to buy the new DLC to test accurately but I'm waiting in hope that the XL version will come out in the UK.

 

[Milldrum]

I had no time for the 86 '12. It's good to get new cars to try etc. I will always buy pretty much anything they add to the game. I should have given this car more of my time.

I got into the car for the first time and added everything that can be removed. Then I removed all the engine modifications. Then I golded the time trial on the first lap. It was fun but I will never set any records.

Then I hit the drift trial and changed no settings, but added the extra parts. I am no drifter, but it was awesome.

Then I just had to paint it in chrome and take its photo.(I know, chrome. )
