Thanks for sharing Penelope.

Is this the tune suited to cargorats,rigidity improvement 2J?

No it's for my 2j without rigidity improvement, it's only 2 bhp down on cargorats and catching it fast, I am .200 slower with his car, I am sure it's all in my mind lol
 
I saw the rankings, 4 times within 150 for both account... not really an average, sorry, just stating the fact, no offense, but you are improving with better average lately.

Looks like you are right about the skill part, a tune could only go so far, I always use my own tune as well, that way I can gauge my own skills easily and improve upon it.
Sometimes when I hit a wall with my own tune ( couldn't get any faster time), I tried to change some settings, then I got better time, then I know my tune have improved. In that way, the tune also limits the driver potential, like a wall that can be pushed further the better the tune is.

When I said an average of 150ish, I was only talking about the ones I actually put effort into, not the ones I half-assed did or otherwise had no time to put any real effort into. So yes, I can say I'm around a top 150 driver. My rankings, as a whole, that you so graciously posted are not a good representation of my true skills.

You can't really go by my rankings as there are times where I put little or no effort into them. My rankings, as a whole, that you so generously posted are really irrelivant. When I said my average finnish of 150ish, I was only talking about the events in which I actually put effort into.

Fair enough, sorry if I made it to be perceived in the wrong way, but I did see that you are improving a lot in the recent TTs.

Can you put your 2J beast on share?

Be nice to see how it stacks up. 👍

No problems. And thanks for noticing my improvement. Nice to know my hard work and late night/early morning runs are finally paying off. Still a long way to go tho for where I want to be. Thanks again for the compliment Ridox.
 
No longer quickest Brit or GTP tagged driver... Mad and Ghostdriver both improved :lol:

And I noticed I somehow had TC @ 5 - must have forgotten new cars have TC on default - so another run is in order sometime today :D

Haha. I hadn't picked up GT5 in ages, but got myself a cockpit and have it set up in the playstation area so wanted to give it a run. As per usual, I had a crack at a time trial and then got super competitive with myself and couldn't stand being 3 seconds off the pace. So about 6 hours later there we are! :lol:

Awesome setup Yinato, managed a 2:06.9 on it, absolutely on rails.
 
Hey Mad... how's it going?

See you've still got the speed then 👍

Good, good. Still been lingering around and racing, just elsewhere and on a different platform (iRacing). Always good to come back and have a crack at GT5 again, takes a bit to get your head back around it.

Went to put my 2J on share and thought I would have a play with cargorats one first, the time difference was bugging me! put my settings on it as usual but had a little play with the front end and gearing, the result was 1:21.657 and 3 places up to 10th.

Was this with my car?

Also, who is GTD_Mixi on here? He has sent me a few friend requests but I don't know who he is on here. I just don't like adding random people unless I know who they are.

Thanks for sharing again Penelope 👍

Hope you end up finishing in the top 10.

I know,when I did it,it was an anxious last few days before the tt deadline ended :lol:

Good luck

yes,these settings go with your 2J mate 👍
 
Had another 25 laps at GV and improved by exactly 0.2 (2:07.291 29th)... and that's just about the limit of my skills I reckon.

Might have another run in the fridge later as I seem to be in danger of slipping out of the top 100.

Edit... forgot to say, Awesome tune Yinato, thanks for sharing 👍

So I had a proper run at GV today.. I was Aiming for top 100 and managed to get down to 39th with a 2'07'426 so far.. Quite an addictive combo. Thanks to Yinato for sharing the setup 👍 Very impressive times at the top :bowdown:
 
Hi everyone,

Firstly I would like to thank all the people who thank me, it motivates me to share with you my configurations in the future! 👍

Otherwise, I see that the top ranking has hardly moved, I have not played since 21 October, but I'll try to find time in the next week to go 2'06'3xx, I know I can doing so, I also try Scion FR with her because I know I fesais of one very powerful sector 1 : '874

Good luck to all my friends and good Sunday.

Sincerely,
Yinato.

@nunbnuts ... It's that one corner thing again, this time its the last corner before the straight, the sharp right, I am .200 down on the 1st ghost hitting that corner then lose TIME to the line, I know it's my entry and exit but it's lost on me... :grumpy: I will be beaten there is no doubt but thanks anyway.

@Cargorat... GTD_Mixi is a friend, sorry I assumed as they are top 20 material you had them on your friends list. Clean and fast so if you have room would be a benefit to add them :) ... Thanks for the car again cargorat, it's doing wonders as usual.

Thank you very much Penelope for share your setup, you are very very fast, you've done an amazing lap with 2j .... My congrats you are so fast for me, but i'll try to beat you :dunce: :dunce: :dunce:
I've made my time with rigidity bar 1.22.201 ... I'll try without it.
I don't see you on leaderboard on the other tt in grandvalley, im trying that and i like more coz the cars are some more difficult to drive.


@ cargorat323 - hi cargo, i'm mixi (alias Mixi125 or GTD_Mixi) im new in this forum and my friend viper ufo says your 2j is a bomb.... I share cars too and i like to help, for this i have send a friend request to you, for try your 2j and for share my cars with you too... Thats all :D...


Thanks again Penelope, have a good day, a great grazie from Italy.... And sorry for my english :)
 
Had a quick run in the 2J and improved to 44th, but really not a nice car so that's good enough for me.

Thanks for posting the tune Penelope... nicer than the one I used for my 1st attempt 👍

So I had a proper run at GV today..

Nice time Danny Boy 👍
 
Hehehe... there used to be a time when both of us would be disappointed if we couldn't get top 10... now, like you, I'm just happy to be top 100 :lol:
 
Anyone that has used yinatos tune, what parts has he installed, Im struggling to get the car to be 450pp

To match the 90.8% power limiter you need the titanium exhaust along with the Engine stage 3.. No oil change.. I just went a little faster with a 2'07.2 :)
 
Stotty and Dan two form 2010 Academy finalists, who are reunited here :lol: nice laptimes you both 👍

I'm struggeling to put all my sectors together in 1 lap. If i can, i will join you two on the leaderboard. Aslong you two not improving :sly:

Cheers Stotty 👍👍

Used ur tune, its pretty good except it doesn't like the low gears too much, very easy to spin.

You'll do it 👍

Yes, Yinato seems to have found a tune that reduces understeer AND has good traction.

Yeah I was finding it tricky to nail all the sectors.. In this lap I lost a chunk of time in T3. :ouch:

Don't count on us not improving :mischievous:
