Time trial #59

[Stotty]

EDIT: 1:21.389, could have been a .2 but messed up the last sector a bit.

Awesome time 👍

I thought it may be because it is 50-50 diff split.

Yeah, the 50/50 will mean it understeer on the power, but it's more how it won't turn on entries off the power and on the brakes.

 

[Peasantslayer]

Brilliant lap overall by BanditKarter, I think you could get a better entry into the corner at the end of S1 for better traction on the exit because a few times I've went from quite far back to inside your ghost on that corner. PD are kind on this track when it comes to what is deemed valid, a lot of extra time can be found by making the most of the track limits but you need to be careful at the start of S3 because hitting the kerbs incorrectly upsets the car's balance, I like to get a lot of the first kerb then a little bit of the second just to push me out to the edge of the track and so I miss the third one. Glad BanditKarter wasn't using the 2J I used for the Autumn Ring TT last year.

Yeah, as I said I can still go a few tenths faster, on my previous best lap I nailed the first corner in S3 and I used both kerbs I just braked slightly wrong on this lap and scrubbed off speed by missing the second apex 👍

I think I can see another 2 tenths or so but I'd struggle to find them and keep it together, having said that I was about 1.5 seconds off your current time at the start of yesterday and at the time I thought I'd peaked so watch out. By the way have you tried TCS on 1? it might cost you a little bit of time but the car is far easier to drive and you can have a bit more confidence in the car when you mash the throttle down.

 

[Penelope]

By the way have you tried TCS on 1?

Thats blasphemy...



Edit... And you will have the driving god moaning about cheating like usual!

 

[Stotty]

In to the 21's with a 1'21.965 for 18th

I agree with Peasant Slayer, John, you can pick up a tenth in the 1st turn in T2... when following your ghost I can gain a good 0.1 on you there... great corner for a bit of brake release oversteer to point the car in to the apex 👍

I'm also now using TC1 ... it makes the exit from that particular corner much easier, and still allows a nice controlled slight drift on the corners that need it.

I know I can still find time, I think a 1:21.0 is possible, I left a tenth in sector 1 on this lap and obviously a tenth or so in sector 2 as well and about 2 tenths in sector 3 I don't need to worry about the car being tricky to drive, my right foot is taking care of that And with TC1 I highly doubt I would be able to put my foot down in the middle of a corner to make the car rotate as effectively and then decrease the throttle again to get a smooth drive out

 

[Tidgney]

Awesome laps John mate ! Very well done with the times indeed! I just wanted a 1:21 as I was just getting back into it, so did that last night. You can see where I went wrong in the video (Below), but looking forward to your final time mate !

Cheers, I think the GTR can wait till next week, this is insane fun driving this car I will find time this evening to have another go I think I should start following my own ghost as Samurai's is getting to slow

 

[Peasantslayer]

Interesting lap there Tidgney, very different to mine. Apologies to Bandit if I have offended him by mentioning TCS.

No offence taken, it feels weird with TC1 after trying it briefly so I will definitely stick to my right foot 👍

EDIT: A quick 10 minutes before dinner and now on .371 again I messed up the last sector though and also first corner in S2 was bad.

 

[Doodle]

1:21.882. Could have done better in the first sector by about a tenth and another tenth was lost in sector 2. Nice to see you back in the time trial scene Peasant!

Ideally I would have it off to but I haven't quite got good enough throttle control and consistency in the LFA to turn it off and go fast. Good luck staying at the top.

Thanks I probably won't spend as much time doing TTs as before, I know it would take at least a few hours more of practice before I get a time that I'm happy with. I think because I've had much better results in TTs before I just can't be bothered busting my b*lls and grinding like I used to just for a top 10. If you beat my time though I might be tempted to try again.

 

[BanditKarter22]

GTPL_Mato has done a .411 and I've just done a .275 not bad after trying for half an hour extra

I think I am getting better at putting myself in 'the zone' now

EDIT: These are my best sector times to date, I think I have been faster than this in the middle sector but didn't note the time. S1 27.910, S2 33.292, S3 19.831

Well done on your current time 👍, you seemed to have improved a lot in less than a year.

In other words you are now in process of turning from human to alien .

Thanks I have improved a lot since the academy last year 👍
I will have to follow my ghost now, after the first couple of turns I'm now not following Samurai's ghost anyway

I may wake up one morning and find I have webbed feet

I find it amazing how you can drive so well with steering wheel and chase camera. Another alien characteristic right there .

Did you end up going to the finals in the end? I knew you qualified but don't think I saw you there?

I like personally using only my ghost and using it as time / visual reference as then it does not get in the way and easy to see where to improve. I tend to only change ghost only if I beat it by a big enough margin to change to so don't have to build reference points often. Might work for you too, I prefer less distractions personally. Then you can you see your ghost chasing you and falling back more and more.

Watch out for the alien eyes first in the mirror, might freak you out if you are not prepared .

Hi....I have noticed that some of You write about BB (Brake Balance) in these new TTs....I don`t understand what You mean....In my game it`s not possible to access the setting menu, it is not there, only the "driving options" can be accessed....

Also in the previous TT with the GT500 Honda on Suzuka some of You were discussing BB....

How come??? It isn`t there....

I got an email from them saying I didn't get through as I was 18th, although I expected to get through if a couple of people dropped out, the email never cam though, kind of glad as I was only 17 at the time and would be embarrassing to get there and be DQ'ed before I start.

I tried chasing my own ghost but couldn't make it work so I'm back to chasing Samurai 👍 Been 0.334 up on him before last sector, just failed to do a good last sector

You have to use the RA functions menu which is available on track.

Here is a tutorial on how to set the buttons up...

OK Thank You very much.....I will try it out tomorrow....A bit strange though that GT5 doesn`t mention this in the "how to play" menu....Thks again brave man

Just spent my first 10 minutes on a TT ever, currently 9944th with. 2:28.794 on DS3

 

[Dalone]

Way to go Racer, been there and done that. Pretty soon you'll be in your element here, it's just race, race, and race, and of course reading the helpful hints you'll find scattered throughout these pages. Cheers mate.

The lexus time trial is great currently p11 temporary.

I am operating with steering feedback, but I cannot find a level which is close to reality how much do you run with?

I forgot about age thing. Good position to be in, having age on your side. I think they must have probably checked your age and therefore skipped on to next people as I know people quite a few places down got the opportunity.

Good to see using same ghost works for you too. Good luck on improving 👍.

Very good to see a WC Driver in TOP 10 very good driving mate

 

[BanditKarter22]

GTPL_Mato has been trying all day yesterday and today and he's improved to a .283 I will have to push for the .0 tonight 👍

My force feedback is set at 5 and power assisted steering is off, using G27 👍

Thanks IP- trying to stay in top 10, but the competition is tough.
Good luck with another world record in cape ring:tup:

Ok that is what I used to drive with it feels good, but I am currently running with lower.

Great laptime on autumn, a 20. time would be cool

A 1:20 would be amazing, I think it is possible but only if I get every corner on the track right, which is tricky in this car

Yes very difficult to get every corner right, without losing it because of the 'sliding', but time trial has only been there for 2 days so enough time to further improvements

It's a driving game on a games console, what makes it a world record, please explain?
