VDC Season 1 | Thread Closed!

[SPANK]

Umm This guy is advertising cash prizes, Isn't that against terms of use on the forums?

All prizes have been looked over and approved by Jordan. Thank you for your concern though. 👍

Shhh...... Its gift cards for websites and stuff....
Edit: oh i forgot to ask, are backwards entries allowed this time?

You can do reverse entries. I will not give you extra points, but you do have the risk of losing points if I see you straightening out. So just be careful 👍

I think You missed the 1st outside vibrator as the first Clipping point there spank ... Including that Point will make it a bit more challenging

The way you have to initiate into that corner is difficult with where the end of the speed match line is. I have tried it several times and didnt see a point in it. After last night i see more people struggling to hit the inside clipping point #4. That will be everyones challenge yet.

You bumped this thread to gain interest, but are not taking any more competitors?

Interest from the competitors chris...

This 👍

Noice!

 

[SPANK]

Please make sure you're going the right way. Top of hill to hairpin. Not hairpin to top of hill. Map on op shows you the line. Plus a video.

This is the top of the hill to the harpin

 

[SPANK]

Oh okay. Just looks like with the grandstands in the background you are going back up! Sorry

 

[xKiller_Dx]

This is the top of the hill to the harpin

How? If your tires are turned to the left. on that whole section, you'd be countersteering to the right most of the time.

Edit: The last turn is also the hairpin, it looks like your countersteering left up to the hill.

No, if your coming down the hill, entry into the last corner is a sweeping right, and then the harpin. This way just before the bend, therefore I'd be countersteering to the left.

Then why is the smoke leading off the right side of the car. I'm about to go GT5 Drift MythBusters on you sir!

 

[SPANK]

You're not going from the pit lane to hair pin are you? If you were in the high speed sweeper you would be counter steering to the right. Unless you are by the 4th clipping point where the wall is that your bumper is suppose to be on?

 

[Powellx235]

Theres wind in the game you know killer...

 

[xKiller_Dx]

Not enough wind to cause the smoke to blow perfectly into a stream of smoke on a car countersteering to the left and the smoke being on the right side of the car.

 

[SPANK]

By looking at the picture it is guessed by me he is going the wrong way. the smoke should be on the other side. He should be turn the other direction and If you look close at the road. It is going up hill instead of down. you can tell by the skid marks being left behind the tires. Unless he is running the right line but just took a picture of his car when he was heading back up to start again. Thats always possible.

 

[BkS]

Look here.

As you can see, the sweeper before the square-ish harpin is clearly a sweeping right, thus i'd be countersteering left. I'm a RL photographer, therefore I try to implement my skills I've learned in-game, so I used the rule of the thirds, i.e. pretend the photo is split into 9 sections, and then use some tilt & zoom, and panning skill to enchance it. I'm not going up-hill, it's just the way I've taken the photo. I ran this from the Start i.e. The top of the hill, I then transitioned at the pit-lanes to take this sweeper going right.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, Spank I can comfirm I'll be participating in the first round, I have my internet now... (100MB Fibre Optic ftw) .

 

[Knight Spirit]

I'm gonna have to pull out, good luck guys...

Okay just want to make sure you str doing it right just in case qualifying day came and you didn't freak out. But 👍 good job.

I'm gonna have to pull out, good luck guys...

Why????

This. ??

 

[Knight Spirit]

Too busy with other stuff, plus I can't be sure when the rounds are, what with it getting delayed a lot and such...

I can understanding being bust but the delayed stuff isn't an excuse. Have questions just ask. I don't get alot of time to update op. Just like you I have RL stuff to take care of first. But I always check gtp on my phone. If you have a question about anything just ask.

 

[Knight Spirit]

It doesn't need to be an excuse and i wasn't having a go, just saying its a bit uncertain that's all

 

[SPANK]

1st race is postponed till 8/7. all other races stay they same. So right after 8/7 the next is the weekend right after so as soon as the 1st round ends, prepare for round 2.

 

[Powellx235]

Spank you know im using a zr1 right? (no spoiler right now people, but mught need it for battles) can i use a different zr1 for qualifying? Cause i have a different tune for qualifying and battling.

 

[SPANK]

You need to use the same car, but this isn't something I can enforce.

 

[Powellx235]

It will be the same car, but diferent coulours if theres nobody to help me dupe.

EDIT: i got the same body colour but nothing even close to the wheel colour so it will be either a different colour or different wheels.

Why would you use two different cars? I don't understand? Wouldn't that hurt you in the competition?

 

[Powellx235]

No one is for qualifying. Ie. More angle, more stable but less speed. And visa versa

 

[pk_090]

i am against this personally...seems as quite an advantage and how many rl drifters do you see turning up with 2 cars? i think the aim here is realism..

Bo its just easier to sort. Like having to take on/off wing. Change tunes. Power differences, etc. They can just type all that in on a computer and bam.

 

[BkS]

Your still missing the point Powell. If you have two cars, which you would be alternating with, for qualifying & battling then you would be at an advantage because you've got one car set-up for being slow etc, and another for battling? What's so hard about writing down your tune and just changing it? Personally I'm totally against this. I really don't think an exception should be made, seeing as this total defies the rule,

"You must use the same car in battling that you used for qualifying"

And considering your two ZR1's wouldn't be the same, i.e. One has a wing, the other doesn't, it wouldn't be the same car.
