Hi!

I just want all you DS3-users out there to know that the saidur ali-setup-car (post # 374 -originated from a "wacky idea" by Johnnypenso) IS tameable with DS3: Tweaked it by setting ARB at 1 - 2 and ballast pos. at 45. Started with TC at 3 -and as i got used to it, gradually worked my way Down to no TC.

Sitting at 1.33.321 (pos. 66 atm) which is relatively good for me -although I am getting quite good at this...("GRIN" -where have the smileys gone??? -That doesn't seem like an improvement!)

Anyway; thanks Again to Ridox and to saidur ali and Johnnypenso ...in fact; thanks to all who share cars and setups in this TT -haven't seen anything like it since i joined Little less than a year ago! THUMBS UP!!
 
After no GTing for a looong time I had a couple of hours on this one across Friday/Sunday with a Muira borrowed from Isiliad (sp?) on my friends list.

I'm a bit out of practice to say the least, but really enjoyed getting back behind the wheel... 1'32.9 so far.
 
Stotty - I did see you in the Top 256, last TT, am I right? You'll put up a great time, I'm sure of it.

Just looking for a tune for my Miura now - tailing the top thousand, but that was in a stock Miura; so hope to do better with some awesome tune that will fit my driving style.

Good luck, everybody - last few days left . . .
 
Yeah, I did have a go in the Gallardo... I think the hour I had on that was the 1st time I'd had my wheel out in 4 or 5 months.

Just realised #73 finishes on Thursday and I'm now away, so won't be improving!
 
Thanks Doodle... still .8 off your VERY NICE lap LOL

Looks like you've got to grips with your wheel ;)
 
Yeah, something must have clicked over the summer and I immediately became faster with the wheel than I was with the DS3. Have you thought about coming back to the WRS, or are you gonna wait until GT6? Also, this might help eliminate some of the rust. :P

Ran my Muira all night for most of the week and finally got it to 400pp this weekend, "Pink" was worth almost 3 tenth, down to 1:33.187.
My best time is with an automatic but, I was 2 tenths ahead of my ghost after two sections using manual and messed up the last right turn.
Once I learn to get my shifting consistant then I need to learn left foot braking...way to much for a blonde to think about in only 90 seconds..lol.
 
LOL Doodle

I don't really have the time to put in to the WRS any more as I'm away from home 4-5 days a week with work. And I'm not 100% sure I'm going to get GT6 yet - if it had been a PS4 title then I'd have my order in already, but a re-hashed GT5 doesn't really get me excited... I'll probably get it for a bit of a change, but I won't be putting in the hours like I did when GT5 came out.

BTW, can you quote other posts with the new board software? Am I just being thick?
 
Well I don't think I've been this low in the standings since everyone started using the Miura. 4th place. I'll try my absolute best to get back to the top spot, but I'm running out of steam.
 
It's been a few hours so the double post doesn't really count. (I think)

I've just improved to a 1:32.094. I'm losing most of my time in sector 2 at the moment.

Great to see your still diggin' and improvin'!

...honestly I'd love to sit in the same room w/ you and get some 1st hand driving tips from a pro! ...the replays are great but nothing like seeing the action up close. I think one of my probs is thinking to much about how it should or would be done in the real world. I think you have to draw a line somewhere and get ahold of the GT5 world lol ..get a hold of the limits of the diff cars/tunes/courses in GT5.

...not going to know how to find your posts w/ out the karting pic! Reminds me of the good ol' days of karting. Some of the best times...
 
@Dan76 Thanks.

I couldn't bother myself to try to find another Senna karting picture. I'd totally want to run some online laps with this combo. If anyone else would like to join, that's fine by me. Of course, it won't be right now at 1 in the morning. lol

Hey Doodle i will run some online laps with you anytime you like
 
Think I'm done with this one now, can't get near my best let alone improve on it! I'm looking forward to Thursday and the new tt, I'm hoping for something with a bit more gas and stability (not good enough to slide the car consistently lol). Well done to all who've done well!!
 
@freerizzy Thanks, but I think I'll stick with the Avatar I have at the moment. :)


*Many hours later*

I'll stick with this Corvette. I didn't like the Honda Beat pic.

I can not understand how stupid can be some people ....There is a person from Greece who use names fom greek history (about 10 or more i think) for one reason.....he wants to be in leaderbord (first 250)....I think that he should be ashamed as many others that use the same tactic for the same reason

How does using names from Greek history get you into the top 250? Sorry Suba, but I really don't understand your post here. Please explain.
 
Finally broke into the 34's > with a 1:34.859. Was really ready to give up hope for improvement. Changed almost everything radically to try and get a spark! ...it finally worked out a bit.
