THE CHALLENGE HUB, CHALLENGE COMPLETE

[smoothbore12]

Disappointed from drift , can't even pass the 4000 mark .
So i grab the Audi for a ride with the first grid that came up and start from where i was yesterday.
Here is my lapping times with the first one at 2.07 .
Very easy to make a mistake and end with a spin or cruising through the gravel and that leads me to multiple restarts especially at first lap when i was searching to fill every available hole and pass the front runners.

No cuting at penultimate turn ( Veedol chicane ) .

 

[skeagracing]

i didn't mean to run it on rain tyres but on sh or ss.. I actually had one race today and won with stock car (no. oil change even) on ss so I don't want to overkill the grid..

OK good buddy you’re on this new school on the rain tire of your choice LOL.

I'll do my best what I noticed as someone who never really drove rain races in GT is how good physics actually are regarding sliding under breaking etc. but as rookie, I'd say 100% wet in GT is more like 30-40% in real life IMO.. maybe even less.. still fun..

I think all the career races have the same surface setting. In Arcade races you can set grip reduction to real. Then if the bots all have sports tyres and there's a lot of water, you'll win with anything if it has comfort tyres.

No-Tune. This is my first attempt at this event below using Exterior View. I use to do Roof Cam view all the time in GT6 & GTS using my wheel, and I am getting better at Exterior view because I found I have more control, on what the car is doing out on the track.

Hey @nostradavor2 if I was using Roof Cam view I should be around the 1 minute lap time, so please don't get as I am not going to use Roof Cam any more.

I was wondering when you where going to post a time, nicely done mate.
I have had zero time so far, hopefully I get time soon.

Thanks . I need more driving practice in Exterior View mode that is why I never posted a time in the last round, and being a father it is hard sometimes to get the time you want to play mate.

yes. but no. try to win this race with stock car (no oil change too) on sport tyres (bots are using racing ones) without touching anyone.

When you get used to that cam, you can hit apex better. but for me it's s not fun. I use it in Grid Autosport.. I use bumper cam, actually if I was any good wit exterior it would help me get 59 because I missed the corner after the tunnel many times.

The real reason why I change to exterior view is my eyes when I use roof cam view, my eyes got sore after a while and it got really annoying. With exterior view now I have no issues with sore eyes after an hour playing GT6, so your very good lap time is safe for now .

 

[lfm58]

I will never promote to dv1 but you can use ps pad and promote you at div 2 Tinkerbell.
The only gain i see at no tune is to be at 1.01 high .

Of the record .............. I love you guys , be cool , safe and avoid crowd and " risky" business .
I hope @lfm58 to be ok and i understand totally his fears and everything that comes from the disaster that hit his country .

Time to go for some drift today to see if i can surpass @bjl23 at the end of this round.

I'm fine, thanks.
No fear for myself now as all doctors predicted in 2008 for Luciano just 1 years alive so...
Fear for all the world for sure.
Here is a very tought situation and we must be focus on basic needs and very prudent for everything...

 

[bjl23]

@lfm58 it's good to hear your OK.

@fordlaser it's good to have you back.

Game time guys

 

[bjl23]

Game time over
Started with the CHIC.
I only had 1 go, a lot of improvement to come as I messed up 4 laps. Fastest lap was a 1:03.

Next I moved onto the NO-TUNE, I've never driven this car before. Not bad of a car, I only did 10 laps and I made it harder them seem harder then it needed to be.
I did notice it doesn't like hitting the rumble strips to hard.

Lucky last FATHER OF DRIFT
6000 points in my sights.

I can see that. Seems like eyes are less engaged on exterior cam, but I didn't use it since GT4. When GT4 came out I did like 200 laps of Ring in normal S2000 to learn it properly. Good times. Haven't used controller or exterior cam since than.
I might try it this learn to try drift event, but I'm really bad at drifting and also my controller is broken.

I am hopeless at Drifting using my G29 wheel, but I am a lot better Drifting using a DS4 in GT6.

Yes, for me is difficult with a wheel.. That Madrid drift challenge in GT6 to get 100% with DFGT was more difficult than Vettel challenges in GT5
Combined it took me like 3 hours to beat all X2010 challenges in GT5 and I think 3 drift challenges in GT6 at least the same or even more
But it's probably also because I was never really into drifting. Closest thing I'm good at is correcting big oversteers in race

In GT5 I got all Silver and Bronze in that game and when I got a G27 in early 2013, I got all Gold but still Silver in the X2010 challenges in GT5.

First of all feels nice that everybody is well and healthy and have time for experiments as Sniper did.
At no tune we have 3 players at a the same tenth of a second !!!
@bjl23 i start the same with the Audi but free run show me the way to get better and its the way @skeagracing use , go " slow " and win the race .
Deffinetly you're in better position from me with less weight penalty and that for works better with a bit early brakes since weight added .
What work for me was only the free run where i find my marks and then at race just try to be first as soon as possible and take advantage of free air to copy my laps without pushing , one error is enough to start from the beginning. Of course i don't know if you have the luxury to do it that way but it will be a " shame " to loose from a " drug dealer " which his car bottoming from weight .

@nostradavor2 you need someone for a bit of spanking but youre lucky cause @paddycars1 is not there yet and Boogeyman don't have much time i guess.

@lfm58 nice to heare you mate and i whish from my heart soon to put a brake in the disaster that hit your country ,all the best mate ,all the best.

A special mention to @Racin510s which finally " hit the road" and prove that our prays for him took place when needed.

 

[nostradavor2]

Babis cmon.. I didn't even do 59
Something came up and I probably couldn't play for couple of days so here's something just for laugh-

Also I had no time to run Noel's school again so I had to record run from yesterday where I didn't make myself easy choosing running 100% stock car on SS against grid where first cars were FXX, Huayra, Huayra 11, Mclaren 1, Enzo, Mclaren 2. I don't think Noel will like my driving after seeing this one anymore because my Torro Red Aston was wrecked in the race.. but I promised.. this vid is uploading currently to enter this round's @skeagracing school.

I was the same, I sucked at drifting but one day just clicked and I was able to do it but I'm still no expert.
The 1 thing i have learnt about this drift is you need to sacrifice some points at the end of the 2nd sector in order to help set up the car heading into the 3rd sector. If you go into the 3rd sector with not much speed you miss out on points in the first right hand corner.

 

[CBH]

No-Tune, getting closer to @nostradavor2 time .

 

[smoothbore12]

No tune update , a bit closer to ..... nowhere near !!!

 

[nostradavor2]

It seems so blissful here, its sunny, you can wear t shirt, people are outside with familes, dogs..no traffic.. walking in parks, woods.. shame the reason for it isn't nice.. but it just shows how unhealthy modern life is..

 

[nostradavor2]

Sorry for off topic but I was reading some people are concerned because they have micro tears in their hand because of washing them too much.. Meanwhile I did some military type training and my hands look like this lol

this also means even if Ill have time, my times and everything for this round is done Since other hand is bleeding I'll probably won't fancy racing again

So tired, for the moment. It's either a 2 out of 4 or 3 out of 4, maybe I will find out later. Forgot to share settings but at least it's a naturally aspirated engine/car (still).

 

[smoothbore12]

Damn ,trying to enter for last couple of hours to gt planet seems quite difficult .
This virus is not threating only health and economy but also and the internet since people are stay home .


With longer gearing this time and a bit of luck i brake the 7000 barrier at the father of drift.
Without been able to gather my best scores in one run or at least a few of them it ends like this.

Usualy the scores are like @Thematic said and seems like this

That picture remind me of my hands when I am cleaning up weeds with a shovel and a rake, and now I always wear gloves to protect my hands.
Perhaps next time you do military type training, wear some good gloves 👍.
