Yup, but Amo beat his time at the ring. I already read that he (Amo) had redlined some laps that were potentially faster, apparently he was ahead by as much as 0.6 on this lap too...
 
Amo has been absolutely dominating the TTs in the last month or 2 but Ti-Tech seems to have gotten up to speed quickly enough, it will be interesting to see what happens in GT Academy. I can't have a serious attempt at the current TTs because I'm grinding my way through the nurburgring 24 hour race :yuck:, I'm average around those TT tracks anyway so at least I'm not missing much.
 
Nice lap Amo 👍 100% clean this time! A very smooth and controlled lap, Well Done :cheers:
 
I had 30 minutes spare time and just tried to get used to the car again, one thing i noticed is the car have a better turn-in without the active steering... i dont know why i used this! :D

I hope to have some more time for it, managed to shave some tenths in the first 2 sectors (around 0.400) but 30 minutes was just too short time to do anything, at the pace the guys ahead are running... lol


Congratulations to Amo and Ti-tech, thats some very good laptime!
 
I finally got the oil light on in my 2J. It took 3 9-hr Tsukubas and 3 4-hr Nurbs. Sometime Monday I'm going to have to find out if I can improve from 153rd.

I'm also going to experiment with turning AS off. I haven't noticed much of a difference myself, but you've got me wondering, Mike :)
 
It's kinda nice to see a bunch of GTP racer on the leaderboard....

My current rank# 156 / 6:13.306 (nurb).
I did 6:17 then 6:15 then 6:13...I'll try again tomorrow...(I think there's more since I'm still knocking big chunk).

Well done Nicktune, are you using a DS3? I use a controller, my current time is 6:24 and I need to find 10 secs - what sensitivity setting are you using?

Thanks Toyinster!
Yes, I use the DS3 (directional buttons)... my controller sensitivity setting is at 0.

New current rank#129 / 6:12.335
This lap I was 0.8 off in the first half of the track.:grumpy:
 
This TT is fantastic and frustrating at the same time - now at 6:20...got to find another 6 secs, I know they're there somewhere. I've tried drafting my ghost but that doesn't seem work.
 
Fobia
Amo took P1 by a hundredth.
Didn't watch his lap but I know he's using dirty oil, looking forward to see Ti-tech's response. I guess he'll go into 5s.
Wish him luck.

Luck isn't needed if one has skill ;). Which he does.. That being said this is without a doubt the TT I've put the most effort into, I broke the top 250 only to be knocked just outside of it, which I'm beyond happy with, and considering quite a lot of people run the TT's, finishing just outside the top 250 is a great achievement for me personally. :)

Darn. You got me by about .2. Just today I managed to get 6'12.504. (#135) It is messy at some places. So, I think there might be about 1s in there. But, don't have time. So, this is it for me. This TT has been real fun :)

Took 9/10's off my time and jumped 30 spots into the top 150 now ... aiming for the top 100 but running out of time. This is the best TT so far.
 
Wheres EDSKILL? He was p1 in the mercedes/coulthard challenge...and titech 19th i think!

I was ahead of Ti-tech in that event,
my guess is he did 3 laps and called it a day(he didnt make an effort)

Ti-Tech also golded the sebastian vettel challenge with a DS3 on low battery
and only a functional 'X' button and d-pad 'left' (think Zoolander.. )

Eddskill only plays during a full moon

Does the battery level actually make a difference in speed? Just curious.
 
Tried a couple of laps with the 2J again earlier today after a 4 day break and I have lost it completely haha :nervous: just a bit too much effort required for this epic combo and i have put in too many laps already methinks! It was a great seasonal with some mindblowing laptimes from all corners of the globe :)
Well done for a great showing on the King of all race tracks 👍

Looking forward to some nice battles in the early weeks of GT Academy 2012... Good Luck to all here who plan on taking part :cheers:
Cheers
Ron.
 
Do they not pay attention at all ?
Nurb TT ruined by 1970 hacks car.

Haha! I, too, am sick of it seeing it used in the TT.

But if you want to rank high, you must do as the Romans do...or in this case, as the Chaparralites do! ;)

Well said Ron! :)
Sorry for asking, do you think it would be possible for me to borrow your 2J for a little session or 2? 💡 I'd like to give it a try with the dirty oil, havent been able to run again today, but tomorow i should have about 2 hours free to play GT5. Doesnt mean i'll be able to improve but worth a try. :dopey:

lol....yes i have noticed your name on gt rankings/leaderboards in the past.
 
Wow ... nice to see some of the top guys/girls talk about it.

Personally ... I'm a bit tired of seeing that same old 2J car beat the board every time we have a 600PP event. It's a tiny little car but hey ...
Anyway.

I used the Nissan CALSONIC SKYLINE GT-R Race Car '93 to beat the event as it is 1 of the cars that has decent handling but actually I produce worse times in this car than for example with a other cars from that class ... Don't ask why I took this car for the event ... it's complicated. :) Some changes to the gears and HP to match the PP and stock brakes/suspension, etc. So ... I was surprised to see that I actually was able to produce 4 consecutive clean laps with my best time just under 7 minutes with some small errors here and there.
I was so perplexed to how I was able to produce consistent times, after all people so far complained of red laps, that I tried the Nissan FALKEN☆GT-R Race Car '04 next. That car is quicker and the result was 6:55 after just 2 laps. :)

My point? Use other car than that 2J. :) I have it and I'm not even bothered trying with it ...
Or should I? :sly:

Sorry Mike, I still don't have a 2J with dead oil, I gave up after running 3 enduro's and it still wasn't red... I have been borrowing UsualSuspects 2J when I have had the chance! Thanks again to him for the borrow there ;) 👍
I'm pretty sure him or somebody else will kindly let you have a few laps in there dead oil car before the deadline also? Good luck with it mate :cheers:

Most of the entrants will have run lots of cars in all fairness! but unfortunately as soon as you do decide to run a lap in the 2J the only car people will see you used on the leaderboard is the 2J!

I have run about 5 different cars on this combo... RX7 LM Race car, Nissan GTR TC, Minolta, and the RCP and the 2J killed them all and it looks on the leaderboard like it's the only car I tried, pretty much the same case with most guys ;)
The car is just leaps ahead of all other cars in that PP range simple as that and if you really want to go for a top 100 finish, there is probably only the 2J that can achieve that now in this late stage 👍
