Practise up in my lounge for a while. Add me with Lupo in the subject.

EDIT: closed. Low 55s for me round Suzuka :)

Its race day

See you all on track tonight, its gonna be good. I have a feeling the racing is going to be close considering passing cleanly will be a huge challenge.

Series 2 guys - hope you all getting together with no confusion tonight, gotta get your championship on the move ???
 
It's a bit of a boring track but I think it's going to produce some close racing. It'll be easier to pass once the tires start to wear and guys start suffering with understeer. Lol. But once again qualifying will be the key. See you all later.

Ah, disagree. It's basically the best bit of Suzuka over and over again!
You may be right about the lack of passing though. There are a couple of spots, and there are multiple lines through the last corner, so the straight should be interesting!
 
I need help!!

Does anyone else in the series race with a steering wheel?
If so, how the hell do you stop your tires from smoking even on a gentle corner. My tires smoke and smoke and smoke on every single corner I take.

Even with driver aids off, Force-Feedback off and power steering off, it still smokes. It smokes even worse with aids on. If I go slower it still smokes but then I wont be on the pace at all.

Please help as it ruining my tires so quick and been struggling with this since the Rising Sun Cup.

BTW I'm using the Logitech DFGT - the official GT wheel
your front tires are probalbly skipping due the setup being to stiff
play with the ARBs spring force bound and rebound and the toe
 
Yes, why not ;) . I don't want to be alone in this series. I'd like to share setups with my team mate and hope we can do our bests 👍 .

And if you don't have a red Lupo, i can send one to you ;)


26 ;) . We can change our team name if it's necessary, as you want ;)

No its cool we can keep the name. Homes can join us up as a team. will add you tonight. My lupo is orange

Multiple lines thru the last corner?? Oh you mean across the grass? ;) The last corner has potential to get ugly!
 
Hey Ally - I have been thinking a bit more.

Maybe this could be a electronic problem with how your console is accepting the input from your wheel set up.

Check this - do a race and save the replay, then watch it back and have a look at the throttle / brake indicator. Maybe just by chance the brake is still applied when you on the throttle, no pace lost because its confused.......maybe I am confused.....does this make sense....???
 
Homes...... which guys from series 1 will be running with series 2 tonight. To avoid lag we should even out the rooms a bit, we can't have 15 guys in our room and 5 or six in series 2's room. Sorry to bring it up teammate.... I know I'm a pain in the neck sometimes. Lol

Hey Driver...
I suspect the same hey...I will view some of my previous races and see what happens..

I was looking at some of my laps last night that it did in the Polo and just saw black streaks on the ground at every corner...Really crap but don't suspect I will be any good tonight..
 
Ally..... just use a controller, it's quicker anyways;)

LOL.. Nah, Its more exciting with the wheel...

Gives its issues but its just more fun especially if you sit in a proper rig.... After all, that is what video games are about right??

Maybe, but a wheel will give you much less tyre wear, and it's easier to jink out of a slipstream.
Looks like I've still got the best part of 1.5 secs to find... this should be entertaining.
 
So what is the lap times like in series 2. The boys in series 1 are very fast. To fast for me anyways. But its fun trying to keep up. The faster your opponent is the faster you will get. Cant wait to get that fast LOL

If tire wear for you is much less using a wheel, please tell me how you are doing it because mine is through the roof!! Way worse than when using a controller...
 
TyrellRacing, AllyKH2882, Torzilla, hetoft and skengdidi are allowed to 525pp tonight?

Does bronzosback participate tonight?

@qsilver73: Are you my team mate right now?

Smoothness. You can graduate your turnins much more easily and keep the car settled, and you don't spend anywhere near as much time on full lock and in a state of understeer. Braking is much more precise, which again keeps the car settled and stops it sliding about increasing tyre wear. Getting on the throttle is smoother, preventing wheelspin although that's less of an issue in these pocket rockets since they weigh less than a poodle's particulars.

EDIT: Pre1323, add me when you get the chance.
 
OK guys, what we do is at 19h15 gmt we see how many people are in each room...

We then balance out the number of people in each room by asking people to move across rooms (if necessary). This will help reduce lag problems as it seems that 12 people in a room is about the optimum (performance-wise).

Then,as soon as qualifying is over, we choose the lowest 5 people in the championship in the room at that time and then let them go up to 525pp and carry on as normal.

How about....
Scene as series 2 has not officially started, the incentive for people from series 1 to go to series 2 is that they can run 525pp in wills lounge.

i don't know about series 2 lap times as GT5 has entered the ps3 for about 2-3 weeks *how dare he* so all I can say is it doesn't handle like a M1 Abraham's main battle tank
but ive got a practice room open now so if your in series 2 and haven't added me todays your last chance
