The Nissan GTR LMP reviews and discussion thread. WITH POLL!

My only experience with the car is via the GT Academy event which I found un-drivable (did not want to damage my wheel). I am of the opinion that PD has over-exaggerated the bumpiness of the track, it feels like they modeled it like they would a dirt rally track. I wish we could get conformation from PD that they tested this event and if they want the FFB to be so violent.

Watching the view from inside through Lemans, it did look violent in the corners. At high speed on the straights it was smoother almost opposite to GT feedback.

Reduce FFB to 1 and 1 and use ABS 6. Still not perfect but at least you won't feel all those ridiculous FFB spykes.

@HKS racer thanks for the input, your point is valid 👍 but even that does not work for me. At the min settings it still makes way too much noise during the high speed sections. (Everyone in my house is sleeping when I have time to play GT6).

I also tried driving with NO FFB (removed AC power) and a DS3. I decided I should not have to work so hard to try and find a way to do the final round of the GT Academy and moved on to other things.

So my official opinion is it's fun to drive! I have an old driving force pro, and with the force feedback set on high, it shakes and rattles like crazy! So much fun! Now, I did note that the car is a lot slower than other lmp1 cars in the game, so you really can't race it against anyone unless your an alien! (Top time is a 3:25 something on gt academy, and I can only manage a 3:37 on free run.) Also it's terrifying to drive in traffic, because of it's unpredictable oversteer (going past the Dunlop bridge and when braking into the Porsche curves) I will probably never race it, but I have already logged over 500 miles over the weekend in online track day lobbies at La Sarthe. I'll give it a 3/5.

Edit: I absolutely CANNOT do the final round of GT Academy. I keep hitting the cones. It's ridiculous. I've basically given up without setting a time. Maybe next year...

Another Edit: Try it out at the Daytona Road Course! So much fun...

Except AI--easily won Spa 24.

Hi guys maybe wrong thread , but after the emotion of 24h of le Mans i find this interesting article and i post for all of who are a lil bit fan of Nismo gtr LMp :

Ripped for a time to the vortex of commitments of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Marc Gené, Spanish driver that is divided between Ferrari and Nissan (but do not dispute the race, this year), he spent some time with us on the official program of the House Japanese. Who returns after a long absence with the original GT-R Nismo LM, and with a commitment that will continue in the coming seasons, as already announced ,big news for 2016. Although suffering from a mechanical layout nothing short of bold - and the youth of the project - the LMP1 front-wheel drive is still accumulating kilometers and experience in these last hours of his baptism of fire. In view of important technical developments for the next season.The problems of the hybrid. "First of all we have to go up to class with megajoules: we are in 2MJ, and beating the boys can not even use them, because the hybrid system is the most complicated part, the one that gave us more problems," he explained Gené. Then he anticipated: "We also know from having to go to the four-wheel drive, as others do, by downloading the power of heat and that of the flywheels on two separate axes.""We have to go to four-wheel drive." "The 3.0 V6 biturbo will definitely ahead," continued Gene, "but all the other possibilities are open: the layout of the machine allows us to choose whether to do so download the front or rear wheels. In any case," said the pilot, "the power of the two flywheels will be reversed on the other axis, and not the same as it does now.""Never done so many kilometers in testing." A choice, to begin with a scheme "all along" that Marc argues thus: "We wanted to start immediately with the four-wheel drive, but we did not have time to develop this solution. I spoke with the pilots," says Gene "and I am very surprised at the speed that we have completed, because in testing we never covered such a distance. "Only two races for Marc in 2016. A 2015 acclimatization, therefore, that of Nissan, which is in fact a long preparation for the next season of the WEC. In which, in any case, Gené not played all the races: "At first I had to run all year, but the many coincidences with my Formula 1 commitments have led us to decide to help young drivers: it is for the same reason that in 2016 I will run only at Spa and Le Mans, leaving room for them.
