ha ha...my 4 kids take up MUCH of my XBOX and PS2 time.

I am having a heck of a time getting together with this car, the harder I try the slower I go, it kind of feels like dancing with your mother, both of you are trying to lead... Cocktails, yeah that's it, ...cocktails :D

Scott, I found that switching all the driving aids off helped me get a better feel for the car. its a pig of a drive with it all switched off. masses of lift off oversteer. i just went loads slower in order to keep the car on the track, then slowly picked up the pace. it sort of magnifies the handling with the aids off. i got comfy with the car, then switched the aids back on-bingo-lots quicker!

$hit. just put in a 7.31.4......2.......8. bollox. i am soooooooooooooooo close to carls time and i hate it!


Andy

Wow it's getting close. I actually forgot about all of this (new job)... I'll switch it back on when I fall to second!

i forgot about it too, then the wife went out and i thought 'tis time'

got in from work today with a headache. was going up to have an hours kip and then thought 'no. i will not sleep until i have pushed the mighty carl from his throne.' and lo, carl has been de-throned with a 7.30.710!

i can now lay my weary head on the pillow.

Bravo! I'll make sure I'm back at the top by tonight.

don't say it in such a relaxed fashion carl, im starting to get worried already!

damn that's impressive, but i don't know much since i'm a minute behind LOL

yea i know it wasn't in the BTR.........what can i say? F1 cars rock :D


http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1124499902.jpg

i looked back in the first couple pages and saw a 5'55'55 or something.......i had a few mistakes with the F1, i should be able to knock another 30 seconds off the 6:05 :D

Uh Oh!!! I feel another series-a-brewin.

I don't like the F1 car for some reason. Super twitchy and poor over the curbs! Am I correct in assuming you cannot mod it?

Raise the ride height, and soften up the springs and shocks. Give it lots of wing to keep it stable.

Look what we have here........:D http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1124506668.jpg

What car is that??

ahh, the thread is re ignited!

NICE :D

the F1 car default setting also has max toe in the rear....setting it at 0 instead of -6 helps with the high speed stability, and the softer spring setting is a must as the curbs really upset the car.

the 5:06 pic looks like the nissan gtp car.....
on days 692-694 (iirc) there are a few black gtp cars that show up in "used cars"......i have about 180 days to go until i get those :D

That run was a 5:00.440 lap, and yes it was the Minolta GTP with HP I might add, the minolta is a real easy car to go fast in, very forgiving, I stunk the place out with the BTR, never got comfortable with it. If you guys want to start another race, the Opel is a good choice, fast, good brakes and everyone can get it


Who's in??


Scott

yep, im in.

i'm really digging the F1 car.....going to see what it's capable of.
my btr at the ring turns consistant 6:40's.....still trying to correctly hit a few turns to bring it under 6:30.
the ring is great but how about lemans......old track....i'll see what i get with the F1 :)

lemans times need a lemans thread......

Name the car and mods?? Tires? since were going old school, anyone have the GT40??

I think valvefloats origonal idea of arcade mode cars seems to make it more fair, so that more people can be involved. i haven't been able to switch the game on since i took the BTR title (sorry carl!) ill have a look at whats available. do more arcade cars get unlocked as you get better/win more races?

Andy,

Congrats on the BTR title, don't rest on those laurels because were ready, ever heard "it's a dog eat dog world and your wearing milk-bone underwear" ......LOL


Pick a car, let's do this!!


Scott :D

nitemare! scott, i just went to find my disk and....its vanished. we just moved in to a new place and the spare room is full of $hit. thats where my tv and seat/wheel is. ill try and have a nother dig around in a bit.

a new challenge?
 

found my disk. found a car. its a car that everyone will have, even if its the first time that they have played the game. its featured on ALL the gt series of games and is probably one of the most well know cars. its fast, really neutral at speed, copes with the kerbs well and looks $hit hot on replay. it is of course............................................ .....................

Hold your horses cowboy, me and the #36 will get to know each other very well the next couple of days, did a couple of laps today and turned a 6:34, not bad for my first time out.


Andy, don't get too comfortable at the top......:D

i love it!!!!!

use the force VON..

I turned a 6'32.901, but I was in the '03 car, oops. :)
I'll give the '00 a shot, but it doesn't look good for me.

is there much difference between the two joe?

60hp maybe, I can't remember exactly, but I was only able to get a 6'36.3 with the '00. There is lots of room for improvement though. :)

thats the spirit!

does this time make me the official daddy of all daddys?

I've been a lot of talk and no action lately, haven't I? I'll try the Supra. I've been wishin' this game had that Donkervoort thing!

ahh, carl! push hard...........
