Wow!

Nice ghetto setup too

I'm currently using an old side table, which I stick my legs through and put the pedals on the other side.

Interresting setup too, way more camber than I'm using (1.4 front 1.2 rear) I tried increasing it incrementally up to 2.0 front and 1.6 rear, but I was fiddling with other settings at teh same time (I know, only change 1
thing at a time) and didn't see any benefit.

I'll have to try your settings and see how it feels

I don't have any aero mods either so might have to give them a go.

I'm not as good as you guys, so I was just happy to break 1min...
59.769

After many hours getting annoyed with myself for being 0.3 to 0.5 seconds up on my time and then binning it on later corners, I bought a brand new NC, did the same mods to it, and painted it mariner blue.

Immediately managed a 57.5xx and then a 57.263

The old yellow NC must have been tired (did restore body rigidity and engine rebuild, but the new blue one still felt a lot faster!)

I've had enough of that track though!

tuned_to_fly, feel free to set the next time trial challenge

How about same car but at Suzuka.

After 6 or 7 laps my best is 2:14:473. Still plenty left though - just a matter of stringing it all together!

Sounds good! Never managed a good lap there so it will be interesting

Just saw this, will dust off GT5 and give this a go =)

Although I've since put a super charger on the blue nc to do the roadster endurance race so I'll have to build up another one

perhaps a winning blue one...

I'll try Tsukuba again over the Easter break too I think. I know I can do better!

Had a couple of goes before my attention span got the better of me... In an NC (white with cf bonnet and orange wheels). Also I'm using the hand controller...

58.02 at Tsukaba which is a bit off the pace...
2.13.4 at Suzuka on my 3rd lap

2:18.398 as my first attempt. Haven't really driven the track much yet so plenty of learning to go

by **Caffeine** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 12:11 am

And my 3 NC's...

2:16.379 slowly learning the track.

Found out you can get a compression lockup using the clutch on the G27, you can also stall the car, taking 5 or so seconds to restart

broke out the yellow NC, 2:15.602 with a couple of big mistakes, plenty more in it

by **Caffeine** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 5:42 pm

2:14.133

by **tuned_to_fly** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 5:53 pm

2:10.428.

I'm finding that most corners can be taken 10km faster than you first think and turns such as Degner 1 and 2 barely require a downchange with the correct line. Also 130R can be taken in 6th with a slight lift off which saves over 1/2 a second.

There was one 'major' mistake in that lap so I'm thinking a 2:09.XXX is a possibility.
