The GT4 Challenge: Round 1

[lightweight]

It's ok to use RSS tyres?
Can I play with weight/power percentages?
TC off?

6:15 with RSS tyres, stock weight/power, TC off.
The limit is somewhere near 6:10. If someone beats that, he's either a liar or Niki Lauda....

[SIMPLETON]

yes
no
optional

I've managed a 6:17 but then i keep crashing trying to go faster

[my porsche]

wow, my best of 3 laps was 6:55

i lose, and werent we supposed to keep the benchmark time and our own times secret?

[lightweight]

Well.....errrrr.....How shall I put this....
I'd like to withdraw my comment on the 6:10 limit. Better do it 6:05

[whiteballz]

just putting the game in now, though i will have to buy the damned car in GT mode first

[Dino Scuderia]

Did a 6:17.8 my second lap ever in this car...first lap was 6:22, don't know where on the track I can gain 7.8 seconds but I'll keep trying.

[Rockefella]

I've gotten down to about 6:28-6:30.. need to get the feel for the car though

[whiteballz]

the brakes on that car are f*cking phenominal!
it just keeps stopping! half the time i kept braking too hard into corners damned good australian engineering :P

oh by the way, first run was 6:21

True, a lot of time can be made with good braking.

I don't really think I want to be Niki Lauda on this circuit, the Norschleife is where Lauda almost got torched to death!

I'll stick to being Stefan Bellof, or maybe Jackie Ickx!

[Rockefella]

True, the brakes are good, but I have trouble getting the feel of cornering in the car. Sometimes it grips well, but once you get to the point of its max potential, it just goes into self-destruct.

[whiteballz]

i dont think ive reached "self destruct" my first run was the best im going to get, i cant get close to it anymore, 6:30 is the best since then weird. and im not going off the track or anything...

[Dino Scuderia]

I've discovered that the car is actually faster with the TCS off but if you put a wheel in the grass and get it spinning....you're screwed.

[whiteballz]

im driving TCS off. its not all that bad for me when i get a wheel off, only when i put it down a gear or two, then get a driven wheel back onto tarmac, then that spins me...

[Jack_Bauer]

I've discovered that the car is actually faster with the TCS off.

Yeah I noticed that too, I instantly knocked over 5 secs off my best time when I switched off the TC. I suppose at 1350kg it is a pretty heavy car for a racer, and the RSS tyres give it muchos traction.
