NFS-Shift GTP Racing League Season II

NC_2_VA · Feb 11, 2010

The Cerrera GT and spa have been a royal pain in my a$$, it is so hard for me to get the throttle right coming out of corners, it just wants to spin around and go back to the start line.

that is a lot of snow mate, i would be gutted if all that snow fell here i would not be able to get on my YAM R6 making me have to walk every were.

Hey guys thought i would explain why there was no new camera angle in the videos and that is becase it did not work.
But today i have got some proper usable video editing software that works fine with you tube so thought i would make and post a video.

i was going to do it on NFS SHIFT but i had to play around for a while to get the video timing rite so changing from PS3 to PC was to much faff on so i made a video of GTR EVO .

the second screen is a bit big but does not block the track in any way.

forgive my crap driving i have not long got GTR evo and am still warming up to the game and plus going from shift to GTR EVO is dam tricky lol

also my heel toe is a bit scrappy as i am still getting used to heel toe on the g25's pedals

i am going to do the same for saterdays race.

It is very touchy. Are you using a wheel or the controller?

You're going to think I'm crazy but, it may be that you are slowing down just a bit too much, then giving it the gas before you've straightened the front wheels enough. That'll spin you every time in the Carrera.

Particularly in places like the Busstop chicane and in the right-left-right complex at the end of the long straight, you have to turn the car while still using a bit of throttle. Not accelerating, just at a steady speed. Then when you're through the twisty part and your front wheels are nearly straight, you can increase the throttle and accelerate out.

I hope this made some sense. It's almost as hard to explain this stuff as it is to do it.

That's pretty cool HOG. 👍 I like how they finally integrated the Formula 1 GP track into the Nordscliefe. Out of curiosity what car was that?

NC_2_VA · Feb 11, 2010

Thanks Manny I'll try that, it does seem like I have to slow down alot, even the AI in the game are beating me through the corners. I had fun racing with you and ricky tonight, I've pretty my accepted the fact that I will get no points on spa, hopefully I can make it up on the other two races.

Yesterday i was unable to finish a 10 lap races without being kick out from EA 👎 Bud did some 2 hour practice on my own. As a result i cracked first Eau Rouge but still i am slow on Pouhon, breaking really hard and going inside rather then in outside, but still lap times are good.

So did i qualify for pole position? :mischievous:

(which i have to say it would be good to have qualify run just before real race, don't you think?)

We are looking for 24 minutes of exhausting race in SPA, so definitely we must do 5 minute brake, after N Ring (which is something around 17 minutes)

You know how they say your life flashes before your eyes on the point of your death.....well upon the time of my death that is one memory that will with out a doubt flash before my eyes.

guys the break idea probably be the best for me as now i will have 2 cameras to set up after each race so the break would help me get ready for the next race.

SteveO1965 · Feb 11, 2010

A break between races is a great idea, say two minutes so i can keep Collette happy :sly:

I'm perfectly fine with the PS3, it's the version of Shift I'm quite anxious to roll over with my chair.

While I'm sitting in it. :lol:

Yes, I thought you'd earned that victory. :lol:

NC was in favor of us both just crashing into you as you rounded the last corner, but I talked him out of it. :lol:

joking of course.

Well good thing SteveO wasn't in the race, he would have been able to satisfy Collette and still finish ahead of me :lol:
