Gran Turismo 6....Official thread.

[RB Will]

good luck with that lol. Its about 100 miles isnt it?

looking at the screen grab above you have a limit of 6.2 miles of track?
the goodwood rep says 9589m used 411m left so 10,000m of track. So you couldnt even make up a Nurburgring or LeMans track.

Maybe you could do stages and do an A303 championship

[Martin350]

Ah, well maybe recreate my 7.3 mile commute to work instead.

Then I can find out if I need to buy a Veyron, an Enzo or an Aventador to get to work on time!


Edit - Damn, I wouldn't even be able to do that!

Alright, to Tesco it is, which is the fastest supercar for doing the shopping...

It be great if someone could do a copy of the evo triangle

Yes please! That was the first thing that popped into my head too. Then drive it in a recreation of my car and compare it. Muchos fun.

Birmingham superprix please!

I also do not own a tablet

might try on my phone though :/

The problem we've got is that the home straight is 300m so that dictates the course size so making the Birmingham super Grand Prix to true scale will be impossible. It doubles the circuit size of not more.

[Raify]

Anyone got any tips on how to get the scale right? I've made screen grabs of tracks from Google maps, and tried to trace them, but how to get the scale?

[RobGT81]

Use a straight with a known length?

[SpeedMattersNot]

Use a YouTube clip of the required track where the car has a speedometer. Start a stop watch as they begin the straight and take the speed at each second until they slow down, then enter this data into ExCel (or matlab) and use a 4th polynomial trend line. Extrapolate that average speed line and delta time to work out distance = speed x time.

Doesnt Google maps have a scale?

On another note, is there anywhere on the net I can find the uploaded user made tracks,I just want to see if it is worth firing upthe PS3 again,an downloading about 5 TB of updates
At <0.7MB/s,that may take some time
