Bloody hell! I have some work to do to catch up!

Wow..! Got down to a 2.12.8... Don't think I can go any quicker... That time is amazing!

2:13.211 here with a few mistakes still. I think 2:11 or so will be my limit!

Might have to have another crack... I got bored with the game a while ago, haven't touched my PS3 for a few months before this so thanks!

I can't set the car up to turn in the way I want it to... Maybe I need to try running an NA so I can copy my cars settings... Hmm. Wish I had a steering wheel and pedal set up...

try dropping the initial torque of the LSD to 7 or so and rear toe to zero, I find it helps a lot with initial turn in...

Have tried the toe and sway bars, the diff is a good idea, already put the lock under brakes to minimum, will try that =)

Worked really well actually..! Thanks, today I learnt something about diffs =)

2.11.6...

2:09.485 on my first lap this morning! There is a 2:08.XXX in there somewhere but I'd need to hit every turn perfectly. Starting to really enjoy this track and car combo!

2:12.621 here. Changed the steering controller mode to simulation. Much more controllable!

Now to find an extra 3 seconds...

Yay, PSN is back!

So has anyone set a better time? MY friend borrowed my ps3 / G27 for a few weeks and I just got it back. Got my time down to a mid 2:11, but not much chance of me getting much quicker

I must give this a go! I only got to rank 249 after a few goes in the K-car time trial of Autumn Ring Mini in the seasonal events. Someone add me on the network, I think my names Igothacked00, you'll be the first friend I ever had :lol:

Had a go at Tsukuba in a non-turbo NC, best I could get is 1:02.614. I think the car has most mods, but the suspension is probably stock. Might need to look into that... or you guys are quick! (or I should get my wheel out).

In any case, if you're still playing gt5, happy to play with some time trials in different cars and different tracks or whatever.

*edit* cut a second off that with a made-up tune on the proper suspension. Couldn't imagine getting much under a minute dead even if I tuned more...

I'll have to dust off GT5 and devise another trial!

I wish they would bring back Apricot Hill & Midfield, I would love to have a time trial around them...
