Tt. & dt. 25

[redreevos]

I spent a little time on the Nurb GP/F last night. I ran it both with chassis rigidity and without. I tried different ways of getting to 502hp. What I found is it is all about the same. The tunes are different for the chassis rigidity and without.

I ran a 2'00.8xx. I can see about .5 more with a good lap. Not sure yet how to hit the 1'59s.

Schulze tune no chassis rigidity:

8/0
15.0/12.5
7/6
7/6
4/5
3.0/2.2
-.05/-.10
5/11/5 5/11/5
BB 3/6
trans - I never really mess with.. just lowered to 168 top

Schulze tune with chassis rigidity:
12/0
15.0/12.5
4/3
4/3
3/4
3.0/2.2
-.05/-10
5/11/5 5/11/5
BB 3/6

Both of these cars handle well. I like the feel a little better of the one without the chassis rigidity, but the one with gives me slightly more consistent times.

And, yes, I believe the higher front does help with the understeer in these events. That is not to say I use the same method in online rooms.

Hope this helps a few of you -

Nice lap Red 👍
I have had 2 lucky laps were up to the last Chicane I was good for a 59.9 then I would mess it up.
I can't keep the car from hopping and losing grip there (I was digging for a top 10).
I will give this a try.

Hmmm.. 59.9... that must have been heart breaking.

Car - Did you find any benefit from messing with the transmission?

When I do these Time Trial or Drift Trial events, I don't usually tune cars unless I feel I have to or if I am allowed to tune certain things. I mostly use my DualShock 3 as opposed to my Driving Force Pro. Everything else lies on my own driving ability. I haven't yet attempted the Drift Trials. To me, High Speed Ring is NOT a track I'd think about in drifting unless you're talking about that chicane-like part midway around the track. Not to say you still can't drift there, though. Just might try my luck later tonight with the two drift courses.

I ran a 32.526 on the Kart Space Time Trial which puts me in 2nd. BUT, if you watch the first place guy's replay, he has a horrible racing line and he has 'super grip' 👎

I watched his lap and your lap back to back about 4 times ... I didn't see anything unusual from him. You feathered your throttle for the long sweeper when you can take it flat. He was flat, so that's probably the difference in time.

 

[JohnBM01]

On a track I am not good at, I managed a 2:09.477 around the Nürburgring GP/F course. It's always an accomplishment to do well on a track you are terrible at. All you need in this Time Trial is a time less than 2:10.000. I was very pleased to get this time in my run. And more importantly, picking up the Gold prize money of 1M Credits for getting Gold in your first qualifying run.

Dude, have you changed your trans/weight setting's??? or are you running stock?

BTW, last I checked there were 15 or so American's in the top 300 (or w/e the max is on the online ranking)

Just a question about TT Kart Space with pdi100: Looking at ranking, I don't understand why there are drivers that drive manual gear and other automatc gear. How do they that?
Someone with alla help off other with ABS 1 and TCS 5. Sorry but I really don't understand...

you know i never noticed this before but having just checked, your right. how on earth are they choosing MT settings?

This "anomaly" can be seen both on-line ranking (gran-turismo.com) and PS3 ranking. But, if you look at videos from top ten you can see that they drive with gear D (one gear)

did a 33.327 late last nite good for 160th atm-dropping fast.
the times are gonna be so close on this one.im really liking this tt as you dont have to wait ages to start another lap if you have messed up your last one,
plus all you can adjust is the transmission and/or ballast..as you can probably guess,im not much of a tuner,
i noticed the traction,auto/manual anomalies as well....
and following the vega ghost,,yeah,he takes some weird lines and seems to get his lawnmower engine revving so well.
he must have really experimented with the transmission settings .

 

[sgllocal]

going to try on my wheel today see if can beat the ds3 time, but yeh its going to be so tight on that leaderboard. my aim is to get in the top 250. currently ranked in top 300

Thanks man, I'll give that setup a spin tonite!

I spent some time with my DS3 to set up my transmission last night, I will post the gears later.

They help big time, I'm still not good in 4, 5, 6. but 2nd and 3rd are perfect. I could out accelerate the lead time. but then he shifts into 5th and takes off.

Got a invalid(I still think I was clean) 2.0.7 using a DS3. I'm now .5s avg faster with a wheel so I hope I can get that today.

I got lucky once only off by 0.037 in sector 1 and then messed up.

If I add up my best sector I could do a 59.7. I still lack the skill to put it all in one lap.

 

[themartlab]

It is me or the N24 Gtr have less punch than a stock GTR v-spec?

 

[numbnuts70]

hi guys,can anyone tell me how many miles does a kart have to cover before being able to have its oil changed?
mines done just over 200miles now and its still not letting me change the oil,unless you cant, lol.
i managed to get a few laps in while the missus and kids are out.
posted 33.087-makes all the difference when the kids arent crawling all over you, lol

These karts are 2 stroke I believe. This means the oil is mixed in with the gas and therefore needent be changed.

I know what you mean with that ghost. His line seems quite bad, not sure how that works. Between that and all the crazy settings that only japanese seem to be able to use, it can get rather annoying. Keep pushing tho, ur doin great!

 

[numbnuts70]

ok igo,thanks for that 👍

Just a simple question about the Kart TT (and i don't know if this is already answered): did GT5 reduce the PDI kart's HP?

If so, wich one is best from you?

i dont know wether theyve reduced the horsepower but i found the non pdi kart a bit sweeter handling than the pdi one.

 

[sgllocal]

well currently my pdi 100 kart is 24bhp. the new dlc 100 kart is 21/22 bhp and ive been using the pdi for TT event. im going to try the DLC kart later and see how i get on.

 

[Doodle]

Dude, have you changed your trans/weight setting's??? or are you running stock?

I changed my gears so i would hit around 69mph at the end of the straight. And i didn't add any weight to the kart because it would only make it slower

 

[Doodle]

Does anyone think the top time in the Kart Space TT is a little suspicious?? I watched his replay and he was all over the place and going unusually faster in the banked turn. Seriously, hes 0.4 seconds faster then 2nd place

 

[parabulla]

Yes, my original karts were about 33hp before the update that brought the DLC. Went down to 23hp after that.

 

[sgllocal]

did you adjust both 1st and final gear or just one of them?

Have not seen his replay yet, but i did not think that anyone would go under 32 sec...

 

[tezgm99]

did the two TT's before going to bed. Not fussed about times so long as I get all the goodies

I suck at drifting so I'm not even going to bother with those.

 

[JohnBM01]

My latest Drift Trial adventures...

* I got 6632 points in my very first drift run at High Speed Ring (Reverse). Seems like the key to this one is in sustaining long drifts. The second sector requires you to make a quick switchback. So yeah- those who know how to sustain long drifts on long corners will be able to rack up some serious points in this Drift Trial.

* I landed 6013 points in my first completed run at Nürburgring GP/F. I had a near-perfect 2082 point gain in the first sector, a so-so run in Sector 2 (1087 pts.), and a MASSIVE performance in the final section of (463 pts. early on to 2844 pts. at the end) to snatch Gold.

* Currently among PSN friends of mine, one of them has almost 3,000 more points over me at the High Speed Ring-Reverse event and about 400 more at the Nürburgring GP/F event. One of them was good enough to drift out the Volskwagen Samba Bus around High Speed Ring-Reverse.


Okay... it's official- the AEM S2000 is my official drift car for GT5. I've always loved the S2000. This AEM S2000 is a great drift car to me even untuned. It is my Blitz Skyline of GT5 in terms of a favorite drift car.

 

[themartlab]

@JohnMB01: for the drift, give a try to the SVT Mustang Cobra-R. With around 550hp you have plenty of torque to maintain long drifts and the control is good. Add me on psn, i will send you one, tuned, so you can try it.

 

[Kievit]

I usually don't care for TT, but I really like the kart event short track, minimal tuning.. Got to rank #20XX with a time of 34.660. My best result by far.

Nice tracks for DT too, got 18k for High Speed Ring and 11K on the Nurburgring with my <500HP Corvette. Might pick up the Speed 12 and try for a <100 rank.
