Suzuka 750pp HOTLAP (online free run)

[P3nT4gR4m]

Many thanks to Pentagram, Hugo and Mr P for offering to view my replay, hopefully it will work on one of your PS3s!

All the best

Of course now you realise you'll have to pay us or we'll just say it was a shortcutting wallfest

 

[Sphinx]

are you all saving your ghost. I don' know why your files are too big if you are???

 

[Mr P]

So many offers for one person! that says so much about how people respect your presence on this forum Maziar 👍

I viewed your replay and it's clean and green mate

I'm sure you can take loads off it without the slight waver just before T1 that surely lost you a couple of tenths there alone! Well done mate, sweet replay
Ron.

Yep simple save best lap mate and it tops out at 108kb and GTP wont allow over 100kb ... it's new on me but I tried everything and couldn't get it below 108kb even the extreme zip within a zip

 

[Sphinx]

I'll see if we can up the file size allowance.

By the way, what t1's are you guys getting for the vette?

That would be great Sphinx cheers. The best I've managed in T1 is a 51.5xx, but then proceeded to mess up the rest of the lap. The one in my replay I think is 51.7xx. If you can nail a T2 of 1'34 I think you'd be on for a 1'56/57.

Mr.P, many kind thanks for the words of praise and your feedback, both are greatly appreciated

Nice. I tried it earlier in the Vette and hit a 51.6. I'm not sure if that's in my best lap of 1'57.9. I'll check it later and upload the replay. 👍

Like Ron already posted, your replay is clean as a whistle!

Regarding your driving lines, there's not much to improve. The lines are there, except for a few spots:
-Try to end at the outter right part of the track coming out of the S curves. This grants you more speed through Dunlop curve, resulting in a gain of about 3 tenths up to Degner. As a bonus you'll get less oversteer there, since you increase the radius.
-Going into Spoon, try to brake earlier. Correct me if I'm wrong, but since you missed your braking point by a mile, I think you're systematically braking too late there. My brake marker is the non-grass part on the right side. I always brake just before that part. Then hit the apex on the inside with partial throttle applied and then continue the 2nd part of Spoon like in your current lap 👍

One other thing I'd like to suggest, is to longen your final gear ratio by about 0.200. The Vette loses power when you approach the red line, so a longer gear ratio might bring you some more.

For the rest respect for driving so smooth with a pad. With GT3 & 4 I was almost as fast with the pad as with the wheel, but I can't even come close with GT5P. Great performance

Edit: I had a 51.3 T1 in my run. If I remember correctly a high 51.1 is the fastest I've seen.

BTW, Maz, does my latest posted replay (RAR) work for you?

 

[Synwraith]

Thank you for taking the time and giving feedback Hugo, that's fantastic advice, I'll give it a go now! I can't remember if I missed my braking for Spoon because I use exactly the same marker as you. I hope I did miss it because it means I can go faster

I'll let you know how the changes work out for me mate. I've never used a wheel, don't know if ever will. I would love to try it first.

Oh, your replay still doesn't work for me Hugo, it won't unzip, says the data might be damaged/corrupted etc. If you can save it again and email to me, I'll see if it's any better. Also, it seems to be a .zip not a .rar. Am I looking in the right place? (page 10 of this thread)

All the best
Maz (Synwraith)

EDIT: T1 51.3 is just mad. Amazing.

Download the replay, watch it and, you'll see what I've done to make it smaller.

 

[Mr P]

Ok np ... on it now matey 👍

Thanks.

 

[Mr P]

Ok I see what you done and it's very clever for sure mate

I have a tiny problem when i try to copy it to my PS3 ... it says there is a saved data with the exact name at the save location do I want to overwrite it and I am not really sure what it will overwrite? I already overwrote my qualifier lap the other week and don't really want to lose something else that might be important! will have to check through the names and see what it's trying to overwrite

Will be back

Aye, I think you have to look for the same replay number.

 

[Mr P]

Ok the replay it wanted to overwrite was my own best lap in the vette so I loaded it up on Kels account with no probs

Clean and green mate .. living on the knife edge entering degner but a very sweet lap all the same and clean as a whistle

I am beginning to think Hugo's blue vette and your black vette are faster than my red one will have to try another colour soon

Yeah, I just can't fathom degner, and it's always been my nemesis.

Thanks for checking.

 

[Mr P]

You got me thinking now about following suit on what you did

I could even have a pic for each colour of car haha ...

Great idea you clever bugger ye

Thanks for submitting! And what's that trend? For all us who are unable to view the replay just at the moment..


updated.

 

[NLxAROSA]

Yes, very nice, considering the standard picture takes up 100KB from a 140KB replay. I really don't see the point why they put it in there in the first place. But at least we now have a way to personalise our replays.

 

[Timppaq]

Ah.

Does the pic have to be the same pixel size X&Y or can you use anything?

I dont believe it has to be resized as i see the default one is 320x176 and Sphinx's one is 106x92 and it doesn't even keep the same aspect ratio. However i don't know if it works with a larger pic 💡

Yay! Now all I have to do is bring my pc back to life and I can start releasing personalised replays - damn thing died on me this morning

 

[Timppaq]

Could someone kindly explain, what does the new picture replace in the replay? How will it show?

Tack!! (=Thanks)

Kind of cool btw.

You're a genius, thank you

Hugo, another genius, it's definitely faster with the wider line at Dunlop but I am finding it hard to nail it correctly more than 20% of the time, but when I did nail it the T1 time was 51.5!

You are correct, I totally missed my braking at Spoon 1 in my replay. One thing though, I can't lengthen my 4th gear by 0.200 because I realised it's already maxed and I can't move the bar left any more! I do apologise for being a dunce, my tuning skills are non-existent.

EDIT: Please disregard the above, I just noticed you said "FINAL" ratio not fourth...d'oh, will try when home.

All the best
