I did what felt like a good lap....and was 3 secs off the pace

Randomly I stumbled upon your channel just the other day, not really one for watching gaming channels but was just looking for videos on whatever combo I was driving to see where I was losing time, ended up watching one of yours and enjoyed it, subscribed and watched a fair few of your videos so far, already picked up a fair few tips for a beginner like me, thanks

Cheers Gav!

Not got high hopes for tonights FIA...Aston is heavy on tyre wear, considering a short first stint on mediums then switch to hards, I'll see where I qualify before I decide. The Xbow might be ok, just hoping for a clean lobby

[lazybike]

That wasn't too bad...pole and a win in the Xbow and a 3rd in the Aston, went with mediums in the end...had 2 guys cutting the chicane at Catalunya! One of them quit before the end, the other one won, plenty of complaints in the chat

Well its been a week or so now since i got back into the world of GT online.

Manged to put in what i thought i was a respectable qualifying time for last weeks races on Dragon trail seaside II on the Gr3 cars (1.42 something) after some fine tuning to my Aston.

Managed to finish most races with at least a finish 3 or 4 positions higher than my starting point on the grid.

slowly but surely getting better with this weeks races at the Red Bull ring on Gr4's. Just got to set up a car properly and see how i get on. still miles of the pace of the top setters who are managing 1.31's in qualifying though.

Have they unlocked settings?

31's? The top were on 35's last night. They were going really wide on T1 and burning off the penalty on the way around.

What settings can you adjust now? I didnt look.

Blimey...I did a low 37 at RBR in the Megane and thought it was good! Can't see how people are getting 31's maybe they're cutting through the short circuit.

I was going to do a practice lobby for the Hot Hatch Challenge..thinking 8ish tonight, no racing, just 30mins at each track, I just wanted to make sure it's ok with you before I put it on GTP.

No probs.. Im fine with that. I will try and join but Im not sure I can get on that early tonight.

I got a 1:37.3 and was very pleased with that. Gave me 2nd or 3rd place starts last night. It might be a bit lower tonight.

my mistake. was well off. just double checked since i got home. my time was 1.40.961 against others who were qualifying with around 1.35's
was a second out.

I thought I would try and inject some life back into GT Sport on PH by organising a test event to see if people like the idea.

I was put off initially by the thought of tuning, but I just changed the G/box and diff to custom, lowered the top speed, stiffened the suspension and roll bars and toed out a couple of clicks..I've no idea if its any good! Which is why I want to do a practice lobby hopefully I won't be miles off.

[ferrisbueller]

Historically I'd have been an advocate of allowing individual set-ups but knowing how long it took, and how many cars there are, I'd suggest fixing everything and letting BoP take care of things. Perhaps allow gearing changes if there's something hopping off the limiter.

When you up the power to much BOP totally kills FF cars by adding too much weight. They become horrid to drive.

[lazybike]

If anyone fancies it feel free to join, I'll start at Maggiore and put Hot Hatch Challenge in the lobby name, there won't be a race so think of it as a track day

[lazybike]

For anyone thinking of taking part in the Hot Hatch Challenge and worrying that they won't be competitive..I tested 3 cars, the Mini, Clio and DS3, they were all within 3/10ths at Maggiorre on pretty much the same settings and I was getting Low 50s laps, they were within .6 at RBR and I was getting mid 1:42s..the other guys that have tested are getting similar lap times. I'm happy to share my settings if anyone wants to try them.
