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
ive watched both his fastest laps via the data logger and all i can see is he keeps his revs up,so his kart picks up quicker,transmission experimentation.
but i must admit his lines into the hairpin after turn1 and going into the right hander,after the checkered uphill section,going into the long left hander i find are unexplainable.
he lifts off the accelerator,dabs the brake slightly but how he gets it to turn in and carry the speed is beyond me.
hats off to the guy,

Finally got my 'Dream Drifter' trophy with 10534 on HSR. Used a fully tuned DB9, just one car of many planned to run. A very fun ride, this one will get run a lot more. Must say Nurburgring GP took a few more runs to get a knack of the tighter corners, but am now hitting consistently in the high 7000 range. A minor adjustment here and there will help, and I now look forward to climbing past 10000 here too 👍

Ok, at first I was a bit suspicious, now i'm SURE he's cheating. Great time trial just got totally ruined
Way to go Vega_Rider! ass

Great time trial. I raced the karts a lot when the DLC was just out. Great way to relax after having to study for a Business Mathematics exam all day 
Too bad it's not for the 125 kart. I'm now placed around 125 with a 33.1. Should be able to get below 33 as I know from my splittimes I can do at least 0.3 better.

Hope it works/worked out for you. If you want the car "looser" raise the front ride height a bit more, if you want it a bit tighter lower it a few clicks.
Hmmmm.. Guess its all relevant to how fast your friends are.

I tried my gears with the wheel, they did not help, I'm sure setting the front as high as I can did help, I'm about .3 off coming up to the corner before the chicane... the I lose .9 between there and the line.

It's not suspicious, it's a great lap.

Do you know that Spanish/Portugese leaderboard, along with French were the most competetive on GT Academy?
US leaderboard was a joke compared to EU's, does that mean EU was cheating? Think about this.
Also, lose the "i'm the fastest" attitude. 👍
I watched his replay, don't have a clue how he's doing it but replay's clean and there are no signs of cheating whatsoever.

The kart time trial is addictive. I knocked .3 of a second off my last time then another additional .4 seconds when I messed around with the gears. I'm currently sitting on a time of 34.061.. I'm confident I can break the 33 second barrier, even though I put in 40+ laps tonight.

Sebs is cheating as well, don't you know
Nice score Soprano, working my way up to ya... sitting about mid-11000 right now. Out of curiosity, what ranking are you holding right now?

I have no idea where this is coming from. I competed in the US GT Academy and we competed at separate times on different tracks than the EU Academy. The US has many fast drivers, but so does the rest of the world. This comment is a bit ludicrous.
As far as cheating. I have not seen the videos. But if the person is not wall banging or taking shortcuts, I don't really see how he could be cheating. The carts require you to keep the momentum going and hence require a driving style different than some of the cars.
How these arguments ever end up about one part of the world against another is beyond me. Seriously, this is not a conspiracy. It is GT5 with competitors around the world trying their best. The fastest person might be from Iceland, UK, Croatia, Thailand, or "insert country here."

Check the times for NA academy.
IIRC top guys were in 2:16.9xx range, right?
Well, french top guys were in 2:16.3xx and UK had a 2:16.9xx on a pad.
In every seasonal event NTSC leaderboard gets way slower times than PAL so I'll repeat what I said - NA GT Academy leaderboard was a joke compared to some EU ones.

lol which track are you talking about for this GT Academy? Are you talking about the latest GT Academy with the Eifel 103a? The NA GT Academy had a completely different Eifel track if you didn't realize. The last time we had a Global Leaderboard for a GT Academy was a couple of years ago so i'm not sure where you're getting your info from.
Edit: Also may I add: Judging from the last GT Academy where everyone was using the same track.. based on your theory we might as well say everywhere else is a joke compared to the Japenese guys because they dominated those leaderboards.

What in the world are you talking about. Gawd I hate internet forums sometimes. Just spout whatever you want, whether it is close to the truth or not.
Thank you! 👍 Some sanity around here
Next thing you are going to tell us Energizer, is that the whole GT Academy system is a joke, and you could beat us all with just one toe and one finger.

I think it really depends on the competition in your area, when the GT academy gave Ireland its own leaderboard, the Irish times were mostly uncompetitive, I was 3rd in Ireland, which would have put me 60th in UK. When it was UK/IRE in the next Academy I only played for a week of it due to college work, but ended up 28th. So the extra competition pushed me to go faster while I was trying.
Did you watch Vega's replay yet?
It's quite sloppy compared to the other guys in the Top Ten, and he gets 60 mph on the long left hander, I'm only getting 54mph
Nice time:tup:, if you can go that fast you can take another second off with some more practice!Got to rank #20XX with a time of 34.660. My best result by far.

Great job! 👍 And thanks for the tunes, the understeer is making my ears sputter steam.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

3.0/2.2

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 -

I kept everything real close to what you suggested, but the LSD felt weird to me. It felt like it was slower coming out of the tight turns or maybe I just wasn't jivin' with the way it felt, so I raised them to 15-25 and dropped another 0.5 pretty quick. That put me to your time (almost
) and that was enough to satisfy me on this combo. I was using Ramon's ghost and could stay with it or actually gain a little in the middle sectors but never on the same lap. 
Thanks again.

no, ballast only makes you slower with the extra weight

I am currently at a 33.4xx;
You should only be braking for the first 2 corners and sliding (w/o losing too much grip) the rest of the corners. At least, that is what the Spanish guy is doing...that's how I achieved that 33.4.
I am trying very hard to break into the 32's ...have to play around with the settings I guess.

wrong. you need to brake for the corner going into the loop with the lil crest. you cant take this flat out. you have to lift on a few occasions round that track or you lose the plot and slide out lol. i have also done a 33.4 but thats with braking and feathering the throttle on some corners
