Anyone know how many races the Polyphony Digital Cup is made up of? I'm in the middle of it and want to know how much i have left..
 
10 races, each race is longer than the last (I think), the final track is Cote D'Azure and it's 78 laps.

so far all have been 20 laps.. but if its 78 at the end... *sigh*
 
There are 10 races and all are 20 laps. You should only have to do 7 or so and you'll have enough points to win the series.

Who says my goal wasn't 55.0? hehe okay maybe not. I'll post the new time regardless of which is faster,seems a little unfair to give an old time.

And nice split fabio you're closing in on me.
Thanks Wes. I'm thinking of getting down closer to a low 39 T2 and then I'll be happy. Basically I'm gunning for 3rd at Racing-Line. Your record time is simply insane :eek:. Think you can post that replay up when this race is over?
 
I'm curious about your last sector,I don't think you're as far off as you think. And I'll post the old replay along with the new.

OK cool, will be nice to see :)

I had another quick session with no improvement ( came to within 0.003 of my best time but never beat it ). And I blew a 18.3 / 39.4 lap at the last corner :(
 
I know all about blowing a lap on the last corner, also the second, third, fourth, fifth :D
No updates from the last, was too busy getting hammered last night ;)
 
Ok, I'm now down to a 18.3 / 39.3 clean. I lost about .250 in the last sector compared to my previous best, but was still .250 faster in the end.
 
Well I would be running some more laps but my primary memory card went south and decided that it didnt like any of the games files on that card. I have nothing. No GT3 file. No more Madden and such... oh man that card had everything. Still debating whether or not I want to just download a garage or go through it all again. May not be going any weekly's for awhile.
 
Ill post this here since the week 42 results thread is already in archives... Arcade Calsonic Skyline @ Monaco:

No racing for me this week, got alot of work to do with the holidays and all. I hope to be back and whipping peoples' butts next week *is bummed to have to miss this week's race with the F1...* Oh well, may the fastest man win...
 
Sorry to hear about that garage of yours, tofu.

Here's mine if your interested... :D
 
A few runs in the F1 showed that my preminitions were correct.

I blow with the F1s.

T2 of 44.xxx something. Plus I hate Rome.
 
Final times for me Im afraid, just aint gonna get more time before the deadline
T1: 18.460 best T1 was a 18.350
T2: 39.797 this was my best T2
I reckon Sough and T13R have my number this week :)
'luck with ya times guys 👍


EDIT: Race time has been submitted 👍
 
Time Submitted

Final time was +.400 slower than the expected best lap.

Sadly, I was just lucky to get a clean lap, so for now, my final time will have to stand.

40.0 clean was the turn in, but the end time is really more like a 40.4 run.

Oh well... cya next week. :D
 
Time submitted, T times were 0'18.453 and 0'39.702

Must say I'm really happy of my performance even though Sough will kick my butt on Div 2, but I know I outclassed some of the div 1 guys ;)

My best T times were '0'18.329 and 0'39.677

Btw I think ODP dislikes F1 cars :D
 
I don't dislike them, I just haven't driven them very much.
As a matter of fact, today is the first time I've driven the 94s.
I used the 90s for the F1 races.
I wasn't even sure I would run this week, but the opportunity presented itself today.
One of the strangest things happened today.
After running the setup laps and getting to know the car, I found it very difficult to get a clean, fast lap.
Fast and dirty or slow but clean.
I finally ran a 18.325-39.287 and thought I would submit it.
When I viewed the tape, it showed a rail- rub at the end of the back straight. :irked:
I shut off the game and went shopping.
After wading through the mall, I came home and tried again.
On my 2nd lap, I ran the EXACT same time, clean too.
I'm still floggin' away and will submit whatever I come up with.
See you later.
:) :) :) :)
 
are you serious? man you shouldn't worry then on running all week, just take the mondays, it seems you are better on a Monday :-/
 
Yeah ODP... Keepin the div 1 above water.

However, heinrich, I will be fine with taking a place behind your (far classier) time.

But I think you should keep an eye on (atleast me) us pros, because after beating you last week, and hearing you talk jive about outclassing div 1... well, I might make my weekly appearances a bit more regular like back in the day when I was a div 2 racer.

So, yeah, just keep an eye on that rear view, cause the outclassed racers might have a grudge now.

btw, I know my time is crap this week, but in a show of true charactor, I still sent in a time. (out classed or not)

Also, boom, if you wanna push me back down to div 2, I will happily take it... :D (for real :D ) ;)
 
I'll check the rear view for you guys, I know you can kick my butt when it comes up to mods and stuff...but I think I give very good times even though settings still suck for me :)

And what's a competition without trash talk?, it makes things interesting and exciting eh? ;)
 
Not if you ask me, I think trash talk is a cruch and a way to make competition go from fun to insulting.

but hey thats just me. (and Im sure someone here can come up with an insult to go with my ethical standards of competition.)

Of course, having a hand on the mirror may give us outclassed racers a chance to catch up. :D
 
The only place I don't trash talk is on the soccer field, I speak with the actions ;)

On racing games, I speak with actions too, but umm most of the time I can't hold my tongue:D
 
lol, No, it looks like you could use the comp, so for real boom, let me do some div 2 work.

My division means nothing to me... I mean, do you really think a div 3 guy with the best overall time of the week would give a crap about his division? :D
 
btw my comment about the division 2 guys trying to beat the 1 guys this week was only a light "lets go get em" moment/joke. Wasn't trying to diss anyone.
