Goodwood Golf Festival: 0:58.699

View attachment 905566

No fancy write-up this time as I did this in a hurry and it's almost 1am here. I didn't have time to come up with one.

Turned TC down to 1 (used it at 2 on the last run) and got a pretty decent time. Indeed, turn 3 (or 4, depending on whether the small kink before it is considered a corner to you. To me, it's not) is the only place you need to brake. But what @fordlaser is doing is definitely not possible on a pad. There's just no way I can go that fast through that corner.

I don't think I can improve on this time. This is probably the best I can do.

The kink can be considered a corner because you are turning a corner, I am very close to going through that section without braking using my wheel.

Edit: A very slight brake at turn 4.

What gear and speed do you take turn 4?

I don't know but next time l am near the PS3 I will let you know.


Edit: I am done at Goodwood Golf Festival, and it is time to do something else.

Thanks mate.
I was doing it in 3rd, not sure of the speed. I will try 4th next time

There is one site with many games leaderboards.. so if you want to know the fastest time for this GW event.. it's 57.0.. Guess who's time it is? Paddy hope you are doing well

I was just browsing something last night (insomnia again lol), Noel I didn't know Mario Andretti was born in Motovun (Croatia).. Fun fact

If I manage to do something with throttle might do some races today or tomorrow..

[smoothbore12]

Just a bit anxious play today since i was very tired from work .
Its raining men ,stones ,sofas , armchairs ,tables and what ever you can think of ..... That means we have a strong possibility to have or to write it right ,not have power from a " damage " due to heavy load of lightnings and the bad news is tomorrow will be worst.
Anyway just a short run at Goodwood and at no tune that i only try it 2 full races with the 🤬🤬 MR and left 2-3 sec. On an exit at 3rd lap.



I don't know if i try harder on this since i already " hate " that rolling boat.

Goodwood small update with hope more to come next week.

Perhaps ill focus more on GT3 with the Audi since my mates are quite similar with me at weight penalty.
As for school i just set the Audi TDI but need time to run alone and still i didn't find time yet.
Also if can't see or better open what Bryce have for that championship ( he asks some Google permissions ) and i don't know where am standing .
Have a good Sunday guys .

CHIC
Took me about 10 restarts to finish 1 race, due to the AI ramming me or I would lose focus due to 1 of kids.

Well down from @Thematic, but there's still a lot of improvement.

FORMULA RALLY
I'm not great at rally, no today was no exception.

I don't know how the F .... ( From fashion world but we just keep the F ) The Saint run so fast at Suzuka but it's a very anxious race especially the first two laps that " ramming " is present for sure .
Deffinetly i " cut " the chicane more or less but even that way couldn't be faster than 2.04 mid and at normal conditions less than 2.06 is miracle .
Didn't run that much since restartings was most common than racing it.
Need a lot of practice and luck not to ruin the race from errors or ramming by the AI.
Anyway this what i' ve got so far at midday session while at the morning spend almost two hours with a pan and making crepes

 

[nostradavor2]

I'll have to take a little break from the hub (maybe few weeks) because I had to empty the space where I play. I used last half hour to try Noel's Mustang race so no more results from me this and maybe next round. But will try to set something up as soon as possible

How did it go with the Boss???

 

[nostradavor2]

How did it go with the Boss???

I really liked the car. Also I thought it'll be harder to control it with no aids. Maybe it's going to be for guys using buttons because it takes a lot of throttle control. Its close to 900 HP car so I decided to have longer gears, not using max acceleration potential but that way I could feel when is right time to flat out. I also added some ballast to have 50:50 weight distribution.

Great car and track combo, that's why I decided to do that race before I take my racing setup apart.

Cars like Pozzis Camaro RS etc wouldn't stand a chance against this Boss.

But I definitely needed to adjust my driving style little bit for this one. Braking and turning early and hitting the apex is crucial. I think I missed apex just 2 times during the race thanks to my throttle once and other time because forgot braking point and had to shift one more gear down.

For races like this I'm sorry that I don't have capture card because I do my best to record w phone and than I get pissed when things aren't really great quality.

Mustang Boss 302. iA International A: GT World Championship: Mazda Raceways Laguna Seca: Race 2: Fast lap 1:25.103. Total Time 8:42.647. Pass for the win over the Peugeot 905 B at the first corner on lap 5 after the start/finish line. Lead over the Peugeot at the finish 00.760

Does it matter what PP on the Mustang ? and I have it around 550PP or a bit more and I won, but I am still working on the car to make it handle better.

It doesn't matter what pp you use in the SKEAG'S RACING SCHOOL events.

Noel will answer but I don't think so. Just wanted to say that I did this race because maybe won't have time if this is going to be next round school race (this round is other race). Also I was happy with my first race(test run) so I recorded it. I had the car maxed out but I put some ballast and I used long gearbox so never used max potential (I'm useless with tuning anyways).
Did you get new capture card? At this point, I'd rather buy capture card than ps4 but I don't know if my laptop is good enough to make good output video :/

No I got my old capture card working now . When Sony released the PS4 console, it should have been backwards compatible with the older PS consoles, and it would have been good to play GT6 on PS4.

CHIC (+75000 g)

At about a 1000 km in, this car - settings too - is starting to appeal to me. I like how I can suggest the right coming into the final chicane, that is braking in a straight line except not quite in the latter half, though I only managed that well twice in the last (posted) race. Diminished concentration no doubt, I felt an extensive tingling which made me stop.

About compatibility, sadly the industry has moved to Intel derivatives only, so the unusual setup of the PS3 was the last sigh of actual alternativity. Sony couldn't have adopted that path alone.

Formula Rally

I have done the K trail much more than this, and the W trail (short) both ways some. I'm clueless here, roughly 20 laps in. Blind corners that I remember a little late, and the untoward "So sliding, light with the brakes... hey, that's too much rotation already!". That may be more the car, though.

Best lap: 2:03.843

Setup (incl. oil change. A lot of these I didn't touch and I had to buy the dirt tyres):
Suspension r. height 145
Spring rate 4.81 / 7.89
Dampers c. 2 / 3
Dampers e. 3 / 3
ARB 4 / 3
Camber 0
Toe -0.05 / 0.19
Brake balance 5 / 5
Transmission max speed 290 == 4.059 final drive

Differential gear
Initial 10 / 10
Acceleration 20 / 40
Braking 10 / 20

Centre differential 34:66

Downforce 150 / 50

Damn you make it even harder ,
After some laps at free run just try it a bit today and was on 27s high at the end but a huge error cost me a couple of seconds ( went off at the way to spoon curve ) .
I must restart this more than ten times in order to achieve a good first lap and run only one race where my first lap was at 2.11 .
Best so far at 2.02 -2.03 but i don't give up .

 

[Thematic]

@smoothbore12 Are you sure the restart is the way to go? I just ran the races, if I made a scuffed move it gave me the chance to try a little harder, and if it worked then do it in the next race.

Is just that is long race and if you skrew up first lap you have small chances for something good overall.
Of course you can skrew it in every lap due to an error , doesn't have to be the first one .
At least i learn to brake earlier and avoid costly mistakes but messing with the AI is crucial for the outcome thats why i restart the race if am not pleased with the first lap .

Have a good day all.

So the CROSSOVER CUP finished today and TEAM CHALLENGE HUB won round 5, 3 points to 2.
Which meant TEAM CHALLENGE HUB won the cup overall 14 - 11.

@Thematic was racer of the round and @Vic Reign93 was racer of the cup winning all 5 of his races.



Thank you to everyone who took part, It was a great competition and I had lots of fun with some old mates and I've made some new ones.

Season 2 is coming soon.

Wow , champagne for everyone then
