GT5 - The Challenges

Yes, i've got a mk1 (Thanks Peejay!!)

 

I'd go for this too first, then we can move on from there after.

 

Still haven't found one yet.

No point even trying.

Difference between a controller and a wheel.

 

Amazingly impressed what you have achieved with a controller and if you did get a proper sorted lap you could beat that time but making a mistake with a controller is alot easier to do than with a wheel, been playing GT4 at a mates tonight with a controller and I sucked at it!

 

Thanks, but I doubt I could beat it.

Perhaps another second on a perfect lap, but wouldn't be worth my effort! lol

Reckon there is any more to come off your time?

 

Its getting to the point where only a almost perfect flat out lap will do it, Im still making mistakes even if there tiny like 0.3secs here, 0.5 there, it all adds up.

You tempted by a wheel? I got mine fitted in a pretty decent set up which also helps.

 

What settings you got your car on? Mines pretty much standard inc LSD.

I have no idea about wheels! Have never used one and wouldn't know where to start.

Is it worth buying one?

 

I keep lowering the car and making it stiffer then find out its slower and reset everything, think Im running 10mm lower, 1 stiffer on everything and a small amount of camber and front toe out. LSD I found makes the difference by just upping all the numbers until it feels better, cant remember what I put it on, possibly maxed it out and then power through the corners, hence the smoke.

Some people get on better with a wheel than others, personally I prefer it but Iv had one for almost 5 years so Its what Im used to, imo no point in getting one if you havent got any place to mount it up properly as a badly mounted wheel will be more of a pain than a help.

Also Argos where doing a good basic logitech wheel for 80quid or Maplin doing the basic thrustmaster with a clutch for 80quid aswell, I forked out stupid money on a G27.

 

great times, i now have a mk5 so i can start posting times lol

Did you alter you setup?

 

told you you could do it, Ill have a bash later on this week but its getting hard work now.

 

lol, you did.

It wasn't easy. Didn't change anything I don't think. Almost standard set up I think.

 

Couldnt resist having a go at it before bed;

 

Amazing time, I concede defeat.

How on earth did you find 2.5 seconds though!

 

No real idea, Id had a few beers smoked abit of green so that seemed to help

First of all I was all over the place kept turning in too early and braking where I shouldnt but the biggest change I did was take alot of corners one gear higher, to be fair I noticed it on your video so thought I would copy, recon I could knock 1-2 more secs off when Im less worn out but work is manic atm and Im broken.
