Just got home, not gonna play right now cos I need a break. Next time I'm on properly I'll have a look for you if you're still looking. Any particular car in mind? I'd guess the fastest might be the suzuki GSX-R/4 '01? Or also at that pp I think I sometimes use the Ferrari Scuderia, RE Amemiya of some kind or the Tommykaira ZZII is an absolute beast. Lap times I would guess at between 7 & 7.30 for those cars.

 

[polysmut]

Hey fellas, I apologise to gtplanet for being a bit off topic relating to the S.A.C. thread & potentially for being a double post but I see you guys as mates now & just want to tell anybody who may care...

I got 100% completion today!!! Platinum too!!! On the Mallet account.

Sorry, decorum shall resume forthwith.

Oh, good. That means my top secret mini is at the top end of the spectrum.

I can't wait to see what surprises will trounce me.... (as per every week!)

 

[Obelisk]

This surprise will be a tiny, chrome one.

That's what I see everyone here as too. I am guilty of somewhat hijacking a thread sometimes, so I apologize for that. I got 100% a few weeks ago. Feels good doesn't it? At the end I just needed Autobarmy. Since racing/testing with S.A.C I now have 11-12,000 miles I believe

I don't know whether to keep up with you by trying to drive faster or by trying to be more fashion conscious with my paintjobs. Either way I'm a bit behind.... For now.

The final Senna event was the barrier to 100% for me so I spent all day on it yesterday. Improved a bit but still not gold. Had another go today, 3rd attempt gold. Still needed "win by 1 hundredth" for platinum so did that too.
On my other Ps3 (St_Bridge44) I already have platinum but without 100% or the Senna Master trophy which doesn't count towards platinum as it is Dlc.

 

[polysmut]

Keep at it.

I'm still really new at online so I need to learn to keep out of smashes before I'll fully know how to translate my offline success to proper racing.

Try to start right at the front or all the way at the back, and have a higher sensitivity so you can swerve faster.


For anyone who asks, my new secret car has about 242 hp and 550 kg-rough estimates. It runs the ring at a brisk 7:03.

Cornering is something I've learnt loads about recently in tt's & such, my fundamentals in that way are really coming along. It tends to take me 1 attempt to gold a seasonal now as opposed to maybe 30 attempts 3 months ago. Being able to see what's around me in an online race & the things that go along with that such as breaking REALLY early when in a slipstream are the things I want to learn next.

You've made progress. Do TTs with only ABS 1 to help with driving control.

I only use ABS1 already, everything else off. Noticed last casual night (before my 'net died) that TCS had been put automatically on when I selected cars from the garage. Made me wonder if this had been happening in the lobby before without me noticing (beer makes me not notice things!). Anyway, I know to check now before every race.

 

[Obelisk]

Or turn your assists off in single player. They save your changes in SP.

I turn them off every time I go into a menu. I think sometimes it's when I get into a brand new car the settings jump back to default but I normally remember to check. Whenever I've needed a few goes at an event for a gold I've had to check & make sure they're off. I'm definitely slower with aids.

Edit: Apart from always having ABS at 1. Just because from reading on here, that's always sounded like the default for decent players.

 

[Obelisk]

Every time you buy a new car, it comes with TCS on. The aids are specific to the car.

Yeah, I thought I always had to turn it off again for new cars.

congrats! I've been stuck at about 35% for months now.

 

[Obelisk]

I'm at 98%. Stuck at silver on Senna stage 4.

 

[Benny44]

Ah....I was thinking platinum, not 100%. I too only have silver on one of the Senna challenges.

 

[polysmut]

That final Senna Challenge took me absolutely ages. If you spend time on it though, you can work out how to do it. Then save the replay once you manage it!

 

[Benny44]

That's the thing with some of the difficult challenges....you have to work them out. I find on some of them I have several "A-HA!" moments, usually figuring out a different way to tackle a turn

 

[Obelisk]

My best was a 1:07.363 and I haven't even touched that since.
