Sorry if its been asked already. But why is this? Does it have to do with starts?

no one knows exactly why but it is the reality...

it happens since GT5, we hope the glitch/flaw(?) will be gone in GT6 but it's the same...

the only explanation we can think of is there's a slight time-lag from your console to the server thus the time difference.

when you are practicing offline, it's only your console is doing the timing and calculation, however, when you are practicing/racing online, your console (plus others in the same room) has to send all the information/data to the server, then the server send it back to your console (plus other people in the same room).

Official Correction:

As has been the case in the past our driver has chosen to speak to the media rogue of our public relations channels
We would like to re-report 1:16.xxx top times in testing not 1:15.xxx as alleged

It is our feeling that it is possible our driver with the correct dosages of vodka, attitude and slow reaction stop watch operation may be capable of top times however we cannot confirm the earlier comments of our driver.

Team Vodka apologizes for any misrepresentation of our practice sessions

On a different and seperate note, we are researching and will address the alleged "booze cruise orgy" aligations at an appropriate time... Team Vodka remains committed to our sponsor and those who champion questionable decisions and mediocre results.

Can I just join Team Vodka for drink:cheers:
No straight line for me

Sorry @tarkus1 no O's / Nat's World Series. But maybe my boys in SF can make it an all Orange and Black affair with your O's. I would love to see that. Otherwise its an all Missouri series... and nobody got time for that ;)
 
VERY drunk. You had trouble with keeping a basic line through the turn lol. We were doing a few 1v1 races.
I remember the night, & that I wasn't driving well. Just not the specifics of where the road & car were in relation to each other or which direction was up, down, left or right.

Does anyone wanna see Mallet's drunken attempt at racing a Maytag at 300 MPH?
I can't believe the Pap's were there!
I doubt that anybody really wants to see anything like that, it's not as if anybody here hasn't already seen me crash before.
If you really do want to watch though..
  1. Take a white cardboard box
  2. Draw 2 washing machine doors on the back.
  3. Kick it around wildly for a few minutes taking care not to follow any discernible or logical pattern.
Hey Presto! Budget reconstruction.
A quick warning, I've just watched it in the garden & the neighbours seem distressed. Pretty horrific footage.

I could go for an all orange and black series. Fingers are crossed. Of course if it does come to that, you and I are going to see things a wee bit differently.
 
Team Hello Kitty host a presentation today in Roda regarding a 2nd Roadster TC has been added to their line-up.

The 2nd Roadster TC, chassis# HK2, in factory Racing Green without a car number, will be used as the setup vehicle.

Team Hello Kitty will bring both of their TC to Autumn Ring for testing, but mainly will use the 2nd Roadster during the test session.

Final decision on which chassis will be used in the actual 40 laps race will decide after the test program is completed. The decision will base on feedback from the team driver and the data collected.

Stay Tuned.

It was on RS tires and the default set up. The tuning put it about .400 faster in the same tires.
Good lap OB, good lap.... We still have time to improve I been doing around 1:17.648 and I am trying to get faster. I had a few high 1:16.849 but I'm still working on trying to be faster!

Rumor has it that the time to beat is a low 1:15.xxx :crazy::drool::ill::bowdown::eek::scared:
 
There's a new seasonal drift trial using race cars at Autumn Ring.
So as we're all using a certain little race car there in the near future, why not take a break from testing & relax by sitting back & smoking up some tyres with your freshly painted Mazda Touring Car?

It's just 3 sectors, on my 1st run I scored enough on sector 2 alone to get the gold using the setup I threw together to take that photo I posted earlier in the thread.

If anybody is interested I can give you my settings.
 
Thanks, Drifting style not for me:cheers:
By the way good practices with you last night
Yeah we did the 30,000,000 credit challenge!
You made the fastest lap towards the end after I'd held it for ages. There were some great laps where you could barely have squeezed a pound note between our bumpers. :bowdown:
I had spent the night working on my 2J lap time in the seasonal then racing some minis in @FergusMik 's room so eventually I just had to stop. Normally even if I've got the PS3 on all day I'm not necessarily sitting there playing.

& Mik, cheers for the races, your thread has too much data (images) & sends my phone into a spin!:cheers:
 
Hey guys,
In case you haven't heard, I will not be hosting the casual races this evening:(. Please make sure Mazda is on your friend list as he will take over tonight. I'll be leaving town early tomorrow and lots of prep to do tonight.
So good luck to you all and most importantly HAVE FUN DAMNIT!!!!!!!! it's only casual night. I want to see a replay with all pink cars!:lol:

Although I will say, if there's time I may try and jump in for a few races.:cheers:
