Done......finally. 59.5 secs. Turned SRF on which helped. Turned in a lot better. Thanks for the advice bud.
Welcome.

I had another go down to 58.6 but had a big slide on the fast left out the tunnel and lotsa of .5 judging by how much I catch my ghost on the next lap!!

I use a Logitech G25 and I've had a few crazy slides out of the tunnel. Couldn't believe I managed to save it. Now I know I can brake later, I hope I can get below 59 secs.

Ok. Getting really frustrated with the latest seasonal using the electric Pikes Peaks car. The No: 1 online time is 57.? seconds and to achieve gold you must be quicker than 1.01.000. I think they've set the target quite high on this one. I can't get lower than 1.01.800.
Top times are with the skid recovery on. I was hovering on a minute dead. Turned skid on 59.3 iirc 1st lap with it
Many thanks. I've seen other's replays and they oversteer yet mine understeers badly. Will try with SRF on. Again, many thanks. Will keep you posted.
The car is an understeering POS... Top times are using the handbrake to get the rear sliding.

Looks like a long one as rounds are:

R1 - 21/4
R2 - 5/5
R3 - 19/5
R4 - 2/6

Mmmmmm

I have tried the handbrake but it can be awkward as I'm using a G25 wheel.

Whats with Gts obsession with the Nordschleife? I mean its a great track and fun to drive on the limit and I love the challenge of driving on the limit in the dry . They seem to think that everytime you drive on it you want it to go from dry to wet to dry while going from day to night. I don't want that. Why can't they have some events towards the end of the game which are consistently in the dry. The N24 event was great fun driving in the dry but that was for a max of one lap out of three. The other two were in the dark and it was raining, which is challenging but I much prefered pushing in the dry to set a 6 minute time or the like.

I've not played this for a while, have they released any more of the Vision GT cars yet?

No they haven't, actually they haven't released anything that's useful yet, and online your tyres still go crap when you pit.

As for GT Academy, I've got my gold time so is that me through to the next round or do I have to rank in a certain number of players (currently 2109 or thereabouts)

If it's like last year then only the final round counts for anything

GT academy even worse than last year.

first challenge in a leaf round brands and that's it for 2 weeks?! I did 5 laps, got mega bored and settled for a silver.

might fire it up again to get the tenth of a second I need to get a gold but honestly, how dull.

clearly they have put as muxh effort into GTA as they have GT6 in general.

The 288GTO rev counter is fixed! smile


But has anyone else noticed that curb hopping can now sometimes be followed by the car just sort of toppling over...? irked

Yep. Doing a flying lap at Bathurst in the Mines R34, touched the curb like I have in the past and before I knew it, the world is rotated. Damn annoying.

M3 CSL on racing softs was perfection in GT5 but rolls easily in GT6, you have to play with the ARB and spring rate settings to stop it.

According to here the Senna DLC is coming out on today's PSN update.

We will have to see, I'd be surprised if they released it without any prior announcement.

PS3 was offline for ages, as I couldn't get it back to Analog Video mode . (press and hold the power button to reset, genius!)

Installed the 1.0.6 update last night. I see wings and GPS doodads. No Senna content. The JPS looks well I must say!
