Well the F1 has 35 more horsepower, only 1 fewer ft-lbs of torque, and weighs 1,323 lbs less than the Nismo. I'm not terribly surprised the F1 is faster.
3:2 sounds good to me. Tsukuba definitely requires more skill to successfully hot lap.
Tested two cars this morning. Audi TTS Coupe and Toyota S-FR Racing Concept. I spent around 20 minutes to bring the Toyota down to 1:02.0 and then another 20 minutes to finally breathe a sigh of relief with a 1:01.9 lap.
I finished the spreadsheet. You can see it by clicking here.
Thank you for the feedback, I will implement a general information sheet immediately.Really nice, but what tires?
T300 wheel, paddle shifters, ABS and Brake Balance at default settings. All other aids off.
Tires are Sport Hard for every car. I will be testing all 88 N-category cars.
This is a sequel/comparison to the Suzuka East TT thread which can be found in my signature.
Ah sorry, didn’t realise I was looking at Suzuka times. I’ll check back on the progress. Keep up the good work
You are, combined with the Tsukuba lap times.
Looks good @oinksnork ! When I am finished with all 88 cars, I'll put a link to your spreadsheet in the original post
Right now the Hyundai Genesis is on my last nerve. I've been chipping away tenth by tenth and I'm stuck at 1:07.1xx but I know I can get 1:06 with one extremely lucky lap...I'm probably just going to leave it for now and save my sanity.
Edit: Spent another 20 or 30 laps and finally succeeded. The Hyundai Genesis is officially a 1:06 car on Sport Hards. Eventually I'd like to do the same with the Honda Civic Type R...
Nooooooo, the only XX.0xx time. On a more serious note, doesn't this create a disparity between the cars. If you keep hot lapping these cars until you reach a certain time due to some OCD you will push these cars way harder than all the none XX.[something really low]XX cars
I can see you found the motivation again in TT MidFieldMaven. Congrats!
I can clearly see that most cars are much slower in Tsukuba on GTS than GT6. Especially for RX7 FD Spirit R '02 we know from Best Motoring tests that it could do 1.04,9 or less on CS tires since the normal RS '98 model did 1.04,88 back in '98 and was doing constant 1m07s laps when tested and won the 20lap endurance in Tsukuba in 1999 on CM level tires (in GT6 I did 1.04,934 on CS). It hold the fastest time for a japanese production stock model there until the special editions of NSX Type R gen 2 and the EVO VIII MR GSR ' 04 were launched and tested much later. So, to get Spirit R up to 1m06s on SH it proves that something isn't correct. Tiregrip or pavement's friction level might be much lower than the real one.
To add some comparizon to the previous stats, Suprza RZ on CS did 1.06,35 in RL and 1.06,113 when I took it around for a spin in GT6.
It might. But for the most part, if I go back to some other cars I didn't spend as much time with, I feel I'd only be somewhere between 1 and 3 tenths faster. Like, I want to spend more time with the Supra, but I do give it 100% with every car before I'm comfortable submitting the lap.
Thanks, Rotorist. I'm so glad PD gave us this track. Maybe I should've been testing on Sport Mediums or Softs, eh? I just don't enjoy having that much grip. It doesn't feel realistic to me.
I wonder what tires were on this car that made it over a second faster than I could manage.
It's tyres... try hard-accelerating rear-wheel driven cars and compare it to the real life.Grip on Tsukuba is less than in real life for sure. Or tires have much less grip. Or both?
To help all realise the difference in grip, in real life the tires are much closer to CS. So, the difference is close to 2 seconds. Huge imho. In GT6 I managed to have times very close to real life in more than the 80% of the cars. In GTS, I can see that there is something way off at the grip levels.One of the daily races today is the GT-R Nismo on Sport Hard at Tsukuba and the #1 time is 1:00.6xx which is still several tenths off the time in that real life video.
And that's a perfect lap, maybe a 100th try. Plus he's not getting himself killed, nor was he responsible for the car.One of the daily races today is the GT-R Nismo on Sport Hard at Tsukuba and the #1 time is 1:00.6xx which is still several tenths off the time in that real life video.
You did under 1 minute lap time in the Veyron which i can't beat just yet your transmission was manual right ? I drive in automatic and i think i was faster than you in the Veyron in Suzuka but slower on Tsukuba. The F1 was slower than the Veyron
it's a 59.3 in europe. maybe faster now
sorry I was wrong, the fastest european nismo time is 59.993. but it's still much faster than the video
