I may have to visit the Hospital because i am slowly starting to belive you!

I'm going for a lie down

Its hard because i know, we know all the fastest people about, but i've been shocked by someone driving before and no doubt it will happen again!
 
Mike tested offline with rolling start right ? That would be a bit of a stretch ...

Mike didn't yet mention how he did it. But no matter how HE did it, has nothing to do with what others CAN do.

And phil thats a dangerous thing to say. I am not yet considered the good guy in all of this.

EDIT- He did run it offline, I guess thats worse for my cause now, but all the better for me when its all said and done.

I have a feeling!

Mike still needs to do it with no wing!
The wing adds 9PP set at 15
 
Question, if i just send the XMB file or however i'm suppose to do it of a lap, can someone like, look at the details of it, or the code of it to determine that SRF was off? I know its impossible to tell in say a youtube video. But maybe open the file with some program? I thought about this quite a bit. Even when i do upload a lap. Everyone will just say I can't prove SRF wasn't on.
 
With no wing, the CSL can get higher power or less weight, if there's another driver that could do 6:30 online, standing start, no draft, I think 6:27 is still plausible :)

People say they can tell, i think its the amount of smoke coming off the wheels and just the look.

If its real mate, we will all be man enough to admit we were wrong!
 
There is a british guy named xXPrinceRajaXx that can run a 6:28 with a CSL, Same specs as far as i'm aware.
 
We'll usually know if SRF is used from the way car behave on track, unless maybe the car is driven so smoothly across the whole lap, I am not sure on this :( I never use SRF.
 
Because the winners of a world-wide online time-trial will millions of entrants is a poor indicator. I bet the fastest guy is nestled deep in an Aficain village, its just the poor chap is missing internet.

Resorting to racism already.

Why wouldn't an African be the fastest? What is wrong with an african village. I have family in Joburg and they probably have a better connection than you. I find it offensive that you would assume this.


And millions? GT academy 2012 had 1.1 million, of which probably a quarter gave it their best. Not millions.

Don't start that crap, he didn't mean it like that and you know it, just go back to bed!

People shouldn't be so keyboard happy and get their facts right. Especially after embarrassing themselves several times. And I'll go to bed when I please. Not when someone on a forum for a computer game tells me, thanks for the suggestion though.
 
I think the moderators should set this thread up in a way so whoever clicks on it hears "Where is the Love" by the Black Eyed Peas. Just a thought.

A LOT of guys are running 6:31's and lower online, a lot of no name guys you never heard of, like me.
This is what gives it away we're definitely not talking about an alien, and instead SRF.
There's just aliens everywhere, hiding online. Right, it's just never the people I run into. ;)

I have a tune mostly built, or did the other night, but the hurricane took my power, so I'll see what I can find tonight.

I already know ballpark figure is around 6:30 for me, and I'm not convinced even the worlds fastest could randomly turn this lap in a race. I'd be aiming for 6:35 at best during a race, and as far as I know, I'm not more than 5 seconds slower around this spec. (Based off laps in the Audi against the TT legend DHolland/Dan)

BTW FTW - Max spec is 566PP for the CSL, 557 without a wing. My setup has no wing, something like 487HP, 96.7% PL, and minimum weight. And there is no faster 550PP RS build for this car than mine. :)

Your right, I'm not an alien, and neither are the guys i race with. We are just ring masters and run nothing else. Your logic has failed. Its all practice. NO ONE I race with uses SRF, We all look down on it, just like you do.

Then it must be the driver ;)

And how do you get it to 557 without a wing, out of the 8-9 CSL's that I have they max out at 554 without a wing

Engine brake in I'm assuming.

Are you a known racer using a silly name? Maybe a previously banned gtp member?
 
Nah, I wouldn't skip that. 554pp with engine broken in.

Nope, Dayofwar2009 is the main account I race with. Pretty sure my IP was already looked at.

I am glad someone finally thought about it like that.

None of this ever changed, its always been.....

550pp (thats whats popular online)
Online physics (I only race online)
Standing start (most online races are 1 lap)
No draft

My sector times (that i remember) are...

3:01.xxx at the beginning of straight(ish) before the carousel, after that right hand turn.

5:45.xxx at the beginning of the long straight. (I remember the X:45 part)

I must say, those sectors make some sense. I'm about 13 seconds off hitting that 5:45.XXX. Not sure how you are killing me up to the carousel... I'm only losing a little time after that (about 1 to 3 seconds depending on how well I hit the carousel).
Based on that you can find more time in that "27" before the line... Not sure how that works.
 
My lap was with a rolling start, i had another 40 minutes free tonight to test.

I ran without wing, at first i couldnt really follow the pace on corner exit, and there was not enought power gain to catch up, unless its on the long straight or long uphill parts.

on the long straight there was about 0.450 gain and like 8-9mph higher vs wing at 10
Couldnt really follow the pace through some corner exit though, but after adding preload on the diff on acceleration it felt better and i could corner as fast as the previous time.

After some attempts i got 6:27.971, i lost about 0.350 on the last part of the track i was thinking too much about not crashing and ran on the curb the car bounced i was way off the line.... it was a good lap none the less and may be another 0.250 was left, id say 6:27 flat with this setup would be close to my maximum.

I also tried a slow start (my first gear is way too long for a standing still start...
and depending the gearing its about 1-1.5 second loss at the first sector.

Theres only a few (Like Titech or Dholland) that would probably do low 6:27s from a standing still start with the offline physic.

I still need to work on the settings and make sure, but the preload is already at 5 on the diff, the accel at 25, the balance is alright, theres some unstability in some high speed corners, if that could be fixed without ruining the turn-in then it could be different.

I also used maximum power, i added ballast until it reached 550PP, it weight 1200kg, and ive set the ballast at 20.

:)

So now instead of Logic putting me 6 seconds faster then the worlds best.

Logic is putting them at the same time as me with the only difference being online/offline physics.

Damn... Looks like I'm really good at calculating youtube video's and making stuff up huh?
Its amazing how my "estimated" time was DEAD ON to whats possible.....

Absolutely Ridiculous.

I just came out of a room called "Respect Urself First" I didn't see any of the names you mentioned (maybe they are all weekenders?).
The racing was clean 👍 but not a single car (we had 4 CSLs stop by) in the lower 38s (only one guy looked like he could run 38s, not in a CSL). Everyone else was 44 or higher.
Also with my 39 second pace I was able to win every race (5 races, one guy was very close to beating me in a Z06 and GTR). I will say without even hesitating after 3 days in 550PP rooms (8 different rooms, many many races/racers), guys in the sub 35s are rare. After winning many more races then I lost (I lost 2 races total, yes I kept count). I would say your "average joe" isn't real.

I asked everyone (about ~50 people over 3 days) many times if they have seen a 27 second or 30 second CSL. One guy said he saw a 28 second CSL (still incredible). Another said he has seen a guy "claim" 26s but when raced they only did 38s. Most said NOPE or asked me if they had SRF on.

After looking at my new sectors I think the best I could would be a 35. The perfect lap being around 27s.

I'm looking forward to racing you this saturday 👍 This thread has shown me you can still find good clean 550 PP racing online.
EDITed
 
If those two guys I named weren't hosting it then they probably left it and someone else inherited the room. The guys I listed host the rooms, they aren't the guys that are fast. I did say they usually get 2 racers, So its safe to say you missed them. I didn't give their names up because of how everyone here acted, and didn't want to force all that childish behavior on them. It may be more common for me because I am friends with all the fast guys online, I guess we follow each other.

So, Mike got a 27 too!!!

Looks like I may have been right about you Rosckolove!

I asked Mike to try without wing and he has basically proved that its possible, and remember he only tried for 40 mins!!!
If he tried for months with same car/track who knows what he would get?

We all thought 27's were impossible just 2 days ago and now Mike has done it! (Not online with Standing start but would you now say thats "Impossible"?

Strangely I put a wing on, set to 5 and was 2 secs faster at 6.38!?
Its crazy that people can go 11secs faster than me, i feel i'm right on the edge. I wish i still had my wheel!

Btw, was this site down for everyone yesterday or just me?

I'm gonna say it then run away like a little girl........I..I......I Believe You!
