I have been at my remote cabin w/o wifi since last race lol but really GR guys! you motivated me to get faster. I have a new Thrustmaster T300 i just bought...its smooth and feels great, its almost feeling like a PC racing sim now! I first learned to race growing up w/ gt2,gt3,gt4... and then i used my gt experience to help me race local events. I figured out that I can use the same gt6 driving principles and my reactions and recovery are similar IRL (except gt's tuning & alignment). And now i own an imported RWD Rb26 powered R32 Skyline which i will be using for upcoming SCCA events (after i get a roll cage & etc) and driving Backwards in the taco bell drive through . That's why GT6 is my favorite game. i am getting used to it. It's almost like i am learning to drive again. its a way big difference using wheels haha. the only difficult thing is that you can't feel the "squishy hydraulic feeling" during the brake. I hope the future will have simulated pedal feedback. im thinking about making the pedal have stiffer compression or a spring mod.
your lap times were at least 2 to 3 seconds faster. i got down to a 209 lap, average was around 2:11.
have you guys done a nurburgring event yet?
i love endurance racing there. i feel i might actually be competitive too lmao. last race at motegi i felt like a noob haha i have barely racee that track... but it was fun. also sry about the rolling start mistake... ive never done that before.
but really i enjoyed it and i have been practicing alot with CS tyres... they actually handle pretty good...funny thing too, the more practice i do, i feel like i forget they are CS tyres, in my mind im racing w/ sports soft tyre lol so i guess that's good.
Lucky you 👍, hope you like using your new wheel, I've read of a few companies that make mods for the pedals, basically they change the springs to make it stiffer. Maybe if I'm a good boy I'll get one someday as a fathers day present

As for the drivers here, a few use wheels and a few use the good old PS3 controller, I know
@Thorin Cain ,
@Brewguy44 and myself use the controller, and I think
@RMan72 does also, I'm pretty sure
@danbojte ,
@OdeFinn and
@ALB123 use a wheel, maybe they can help you set it up. Don't worry about your lap times, my first time here I was way in back
, I've been trying to get more consistent, instead of over pushing I take it at a safer pace, and it's given some decent results even though I'm not the fastest out there, ... yet
. By eliminating my out off track excursions I've been able to stay relatively close to the pack and capitalize a few times by the mistakes the leaders make once in a while
, just got to learn to keep cool when I'm being pursued

Hey
@danbojte , I've done a few races with
@RMan72 this morning and I found a 2 lap race would be perfect.
@RMan72 , can you tell me how you had that transmission on the VW setup, mine was completely useless for starts
, it would be fun that I didn't need someone to push me to get started
, that was some good driving on your part, I think the Schwimwagen is a bit faster then the Kubelwagen, it was almost 30PP lower and almost ran the same times, as for the Sirion
, ... Daihatsu (standard) =1 Volkswagen (Premium) =0. At the same PP I had to consistently slow down to not lose you in the back even though you are a faster driver, and I had no problems passing you when I was behind, going to keep that little monster
