Loved the Tajima event, my best is still 57.788 which topped the leaderboards on Thursday. You need to feather the handbrake and accelerate to enter a torque induced powerslide going round the hairpins.
I found it easier doing that with some cars. glad I’m not the only one.
The London one is fun!
Super Lap = Seasonal Event. Seems legit… Can’t wait for real seasonals to return (feels like petition time).
As a seasonal event lover…and a veteran of GT5…a fancied my self to get into the top 1000th in GT6 as apposed to the 1500 mark i regularly achieved in GT5..
result ..getting there! but as far as the none tuning events…a can’t get 2500th…I guess there are more better drivers but don’t tune….so i say give it ago with my 1% opinion.
I think your missing out in whats great about the GT series.
GT Chrome 001 – W
Does that mean it is a white chrome?
What is the chrome color.
I want to see who gets gold without SRF in the Eiger seasonal with the Tajima’s car…
I did 1:00.968
The Tajima E-Runner was the first seasonal I wasn’t able to get gold in… Darn.
It’s over already?
Only one I cared to do was the RX-7, and only for the paint chip.
Seasonal Events with RUF BTR and LOTUS EVORA stock at nordschleife will be nice!no SRF of course!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Tajima one is really tense!
I really liked these TTs… Especially liked the RX-7 one.
I’m going to do it….. what is SRF?
Skid Recovery Force. It basically makes it a lot harder to spin.
SRF is the Easy Mode option for noobs.
They should put real racing races with tyre wear and fuel consumption, instead of these useless contests.
Tajima E-RUNNER cost cr. 1.6M
Gold from seasonal cr. 43k
wont be paticipating this event…
You don’t have to own the car. Everyone gets to use it unmodified.
Yay my pic \o/
Too bad they spelled my name wrong :D
Sorry about that. It’s been corrected.
Rejoice!
Thnx very much :)
Gran Turismo 5 gets a world Circuit Tour, with 5 races around 5 of the best tracks in the world. Gran Turismo 6 gets 1 lap time trials. Tempted to play out the last few days of Gran Turismo 5 rather than this.
Those events have been repeated several times though, they’re not exactly fresh and exciting either.
I really can’t wait for GT5 to go offline.
I don’t understand people argueing for GT5 over GT6. I seriously saw a guy on the GT Facebook page commenting saying how if PD was smart they would keep GT5 online and admire DLC’s. In what world does that make sense???
Yeah, some people are strange.
And m8h3r – those are seasonal races, these are seasonal time trials. We used to get those in GT5 too.
Really miss this game. I haven’t played it since christmas break cuz I left my ps3 at home :/
Me too.. I did update everything when I got in town yesterday and turned it off right away. So sad..
Wooh! That e-Runner lap is a hair-puller! That was a little more tense and a little more fun than usual!
Booooring. It’ll be better if PD just lend you the cars instead us having to tune them to match the events PPs PD lists. :\
totally agree. I love seeing how i can compare and not have to spend valuable money tuning cars (poorly)
+1 thousand.
Totally disagree – tuning is a key part of the game and having TT’s that you can use tuned cars in is a great way to learn how to make the most of a vehicle at a given PP and on a given track.
I agree with Kavey. Best to have a mixture of standard spec timed events and tuned time events. Tuning cars has been fundamental to the series since Gran Turismo 1.
a Car racing game without Tuning? Silly..do not agree it would not be Better…
Equal amounts of tune-it-yourself and loaned car TT’s per fortnight would be great, 90% of people don’t really know what the perfect suspension and LSD settings for an RX-7 on SSR5 are (I’ll need Praiano’s help with that one :P)
Without tuning this game would only be one step up from NFS…and we all know how much that game sucks.
snakeof” just announcing a percentage in the 99’s to agree with your self does not help you,,,
suggestion! type “your car”GT6 tune into google and see the amount of 1%’ers ..tunes to help..the old way in gt5 was to borrow a friends tuned Car…hope that feature comes back..or even better more tune saves than A,B,C, we could just share them ..PD we Want it Now.
Tip some of the best tune tips are on this very fan site.
I just wish the tuning was fairer. I dont enjoy tuning anymore, its too time consuming and not always worthwhile. Some people know how and some dont and some dont have the time or the interest. Thats why pd should have an in game tune marketplace. The mechanics benefit by making millions off good tunes and racers benefit by having good handling cars. Plus if there was livery editing you could put the mechanics logo as a mandatory sponsor for using their tune so the mechanics get the respect.
World class tunes are often posted in the Seasonal Forum by some of the top racers. No need to reinvent the wheel.
Yay. More Super Laps.
I like super laps, but races would be good too, permanent new race events would be good too.
Is this another super lap event with SRF enabled? Utterly pointless
mef, you know you can usually turn SRF off, right?
Mef clearly hasn’t been paying attention…
Yes you can turn SRF off, but you can’t compete for a top time without it.
