SPA[/B] in Carrera GT, this is going to be slaughterhouse. I've been driving Lotus 111 yesterday on Experienced mode and forgot to switch to PRO before went to practice on SPA. So I'm racing 10 lap race without opponents there is good lap times going, like 2:17:xxx and 2:16:xxx when I'm pushing, but suddenly realized that i had 2:24:xxx while i was racing with Manny. I couldn't be that good in porsch so quickly. Quit the race / went to options / ......... Experienced was set up :scared: So i changed to PRO, went back to 10 lap race and OH MY GOD! This car can kill quicker than any other car in my garage (i used Manufacture car, without any set up available). First i delayed my breaking points, that ends in disaster. Brakes in this car are put not to make fun of them but to use them. And the lap times?? Oh forget about 2:17:xxx There is 6 second difference between them.

:confused:

Well i always thought that a fine skilled driver like yourself would always drive in PRO...
Since that "hidden assist" thing:


" Those aren't exactly hidden assists if you're deliberately running it on normal mode. The Zonda has the equal 3rd lowest CG in the game, the equal 1st highest grip tyres in the game, the unequalled lowest drag and the most powerful per-unit aero settings, and you're running it with a mode that turns those advantages up a few notches "

Now don't tell me those fine GPL times i couldn't reach( v.g the 135i at Donigton) were achived without PRO mode enabled...
 
That Golf of yours was faster in certain parts of the track, so i need a little more tweaking.

53.060 almost there Stevo...tweaky,tweaky...i'm thinking of painting it PINK ...think might give a little extra speed to beat you...
or was it your Mrs driving last night...i just think that she so much faster than you...so when you beat me i always think you are using the WIFEassist...


:lol::lol::lol::D:P
 
And you are right, i always use PRO mode when I'm racing ON-LINE and in NFS-Shift GTP Racing League

I think that you revering to NFS.unlimited where there is absolutely no rules and restrictions! If there are any, show me them because I've been looking and didn't find any. I my self couldn't believe some of the times, they are sick if someone did them on PRO mode. Now I'm pretty quick and i know some of perfect laps times but still they are much slower on
PRO mode, for this reason since if there is no rules there :grumpy: i did change to Experienced. Just to check if i had a chance to be competitive. And how it turns out?
 
Undoubtly competitive...i was just guessing since i couldn't match those times...

This is the only game i know where the use of assists makes you faster rather then slower(fc,scc,gt5,ssv8,etc)...:grumpy:

Funny you should say that because she did have a go last night against the HOG :)
 
Breaks are good because we are going to have tough races.

Ring is going to be very difficult race. If you aiming for top podium Finnish (well i am obviously) then make one small mistake and that's it. Your finished. Breaks are useless in this VW Scirocco, lucky however there are only four places to really brake Hard.

I thing that someone during this race may end like Stefan Bellof :scared: if he underestimate this car. Seriously i have no idea how on earth i didn't race in Carrera GT earlier on any track, i did went one time to N Ring but lap time was slower than CCX so useless to me. And then sold out and never bought again (except this Monday).

I'm seriously worried for this race, SPA and Carrera GT is hard core combination. (well for now, i just need more practice)

You're right darkos.

The Carrera GT is very tricky on certain parts of Spa. With this car breaking properly is everything. I don't use ABS, and I know if I lock-up the tires when braking... forget it, I'm going to go off the track. The first combination of turns at the end of the looong straight is the hardest to get through cleanly for me.

I'm lucky because I always liked the Carrera GT and owned one (in the game) for a long time before my saved game got deleted. So, I'm not having as hard a time as others who are driving it for the first time.


After a lot of testing at Brands level 4.00 i have come to the conclusion that RWD is kraup :scared: i cant get a single RWD car to handle properly :(

After a try in various FWD cars i have settled for the Focus, i just need to get the balance between power and grip right, i think i had it last night? but that means that it is only reaching 3.81? more testing i think.

The Focus is fast for me too SteveO, but I just don't drive the thing right. The Cosworth is a great car but it's too slow on this track.
I've managed to get the MX-5 into the low 53's, but I hate the gearbox on that car. I'm going to keep fooling around with some other cars, but at this point it's between the Focus and the MX-5.

I can't get below 1,23,xx:banghead: I wonder who was the stupid **** who came up with idea of driving this car in this track,eh??????:lol::lol::lol:

Why don't you give the Golf a try after some tweaking i managed to drop until 52.560...maybe Stevo has a battle between hands after all...:)

Yea my 240sx is fast as hell but uncontrollable then i tuned it to handle and lost a lot of power just getting it to the point were i can get round most corners.


I BET SHE WON...


:lol::lol::lol:

she better not have :lol::lol: rematch if she did


and i dont find the carrera a bad car it handles no bother, only 2 placed it need to be watched for me and that is the 1st and final corner.

She did beat him actually :)

I got the Focus down to 52.260 earlier but i doubt i could do that again?

Help I'm being buried alive here!

This is my backyard as of 5:00pm. As another 25+ inches of snow comes down on top of the 25+ inches we received last Saturday. My back hurts already thinking of the shoveling.

I saw it on the news here, and more on the way, Collette loves the snow but was moaning the other day that she only had three inches?
