understand yuh logic....but the 4wd will also benefit from the TCS being on...so no one really loses out....and it's really for cars 500hp and over.

...which on the 'ring....needed.

[[N7]Talon]

Traction control from what I've seen in career is just throttle control, and this can be done in a number of ways. 1 - If you can, use only about 10 - 20% of throttle through corners. 2 - Lightly tap throttle through the corners if you can't maintain 10 - 20% usage. 3 - Short shifting helps alot coming out of corners if a car is really energetic. My point is this, TC is the most beneficial driving aid and hence dulls the true driving experience. Besides, who in their right mind wants to not have 100% access to their throttle at all times? It kills in race speed drifts, power overs etc, and honestly, these maneuvers are simply just faster than the standard way of approaching a corner sometimes(at the cost of some tyre ofc )

Back on Topic for a brief moment.

Who wanna send me ah X1? I hearing myths and legends about dis ting speed.

[DJ Q]

^not a myth.

It did 3.19 on the ring

[noshownogo]

oh I saw, honestly felt I was in ah smash bros sometimes.

[wagon r]

yeah dat can happen sometimes....it all depends on who racin at the time and the power being used.

nuh really Gerry, when I put on TCS on the AWD cars in GT5 you cant slide them and the end up just slowing down or understeering

[honda hoe]

:shock: 3:19 yuh sayin, will take a try at that...

wdmc

[Tsuchiya]

biz....we hadda hunt for a new underdog killa car.....the secret is out.

yeah...but is 1 thing to drive it and 1 thing to tune it....ent 4eva in-de-back?

but i find a contestant, had a hard test run last nite wit Rensh and some other guy...and was 40hp under the limit and with the stock box and was harassin them on trial mountain.
Its our fav orange touge champ


i gone to run wit my caterham cuz Rensh set the hp limit at 207. Jump in, cyah get in...weight restrictions. so i thinking how much weight i under by, maybe if i bought another stock 1.
min weight 840kg....caterham weight 380kg megee

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ 380kg? dais potato you talking about there?

[wagon r]

Bizkit.....i thought of a few more....but we'll talk about that later....ah feel i going to buy groceries later though.....see how far i could get.

[pete]

When I tried the X1 on the ring I did it in 4:56 and wasn't a clean lap. To do that almost two minutes faster is really insane. Maybe with a wheel it might be a little easier cuz you can control the steering more precisely.

And my suzuki GSXR-4 is another light car that even with 270hp cud do a lap of tsukuba in 53 seconds.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

looking at this vid you can see how close they got Suzuka in GT5

[iDynamic]

fellas since iim a bit busy trying different methods of ps3 hacking could all those who currently have redbull x1's continue sharing it with the tuners since there are tuners out here still requesting , ill do what i can when i get a chance to come back on but for now it will be good to share to those that want it.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ sending one to Devi tonight

[pete]

Man, someone posted a video of a S2K driving around the nurburgring and it is EXACTLY how it looks in the game.

[ShIvAm]

^^ i was a bit confused as to whether it was the game or reality!

i have the X1 if anybody want...

[tr1ad]

run some money and cars.... yea i get lazy... first time i play in weeks

[xauss]

Fellas las night's races were great...I really enjoyed the variety of cars, tracks and weather conditions that were set up. I had a chance to really see how much a properly tuned car can pay off when I took my NSX round for a few races...she's only got 388hp...so engine-wise bone stock except for better breathing...took off all the assists too...and I approached this tune from the perspective of building a machine for pure and utter handling performance...and boy oh boy was I pleased with the result! She more than held her own against machines that were built with lots more hp and AWD to boot!

I think I'll stick to this philosophy in tuning; make a car as good as it can possibly be without going the route of simply bolting on tons of [clarkson] POWERRRRRRR!!!! [/clarkson]. I think it would be worth the while for tuners to go back to the drawing board and re-think their approach to tuning their cars...it could prove to be very rewarding.

BTW the Mitsubishi iMieV makes the most ANNOYING HIGH PITCHED SOUND I HAVE EVER HEARD!!

I finally messed around with the Photo mode....here's what I came up with:

[16 cycles]

there's a seasonal event online requiring AWD and <398whp. - tokyo mountain track time attack


someone posted a 1.26 -

my best is 1.43 with 384whp

i figure i'm alot over the min weight....but how much to shave >15 secs off !!!

people out there insane yes

[wagon r]

^ no, just some take the game to another level.

[pete]

I think I did 1:37 with my evo and was like.. wtf 10 seconds faster?!

[16 cycles]

^ understand !!!

gonna try race soft tyres soon and lighten up the body...sigh...need credits

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

somebody send me an Opera S2000 pleeeaaassseee!!!!

[tr1ad]

ah wha a bull

[pete]

^ understand !!!
