Man........that Fiat Seasonal event I can't get closer than 4.5 secs to the first guy. I have upgrade the car to 65 HP, reduced weight to 1000 kg, added suspension and closed up the gear ratios and I am still stuck in 2nd.

Only thing I would change about that tune is drop the aero to 5, 20 isn't needed and just slows you down

 

[Blade]

I just fired up GT5......and the main menu was playing xmas music.......LOL

 

[Blade]

Forget that damn Fiat thing..........I have tried every tune/adjustment out there, and I can't close the gap on that first car....

 

[Blade]

For the GTR event, is everyone just buying the car or can we win a GTR somewhere and use it? I don't think I see it in the price car list.

 

[Blade]

WOW........1987 Buick GNX just showed up in the used car lot for 23k.......BOUGHT!

Ok so 2 nights ago.......I was putzing around in the practice mode with the 458 and Veyron. I turned off both TC and ABS. Now I have driving other cars today, with the TC off but ABS at 1, to get a feel for the cars. I start up the Polyphony Digital Cup with the Veyron and I can't brake worth shit, the brakes lock up everytime no matter what. I was like fuck this car and pick up the 458 and start again, and I realize the damn car is not downshifting because I left the ABS off.

Apparently this fuckin game carries your car settings over, and the thought never crossed my mind :facepalm:

 

[MmmmBeeeeer]

Blade, half your problem is that you use automatic, you lose tiny increments of time every time it autoshifts, and that adds up. Not to mention all the driving aids do as well (besides ABS at 1)

Also the Veyron is a boat, there are many other cars that are much better when it comes to turning.

On that FIAT race, try braking a little bit later in the first and next to last turns than it tells you to, you'll gain time doing that. There is definitely a much faster line to take than what is suggested for that track.

Well as soon as I added ABS at 1...everything was back to normal

I still have TC off.....no problems anymore.

Funny thing with driving manual is I just can't get used to shifting in this game. I have a automatic 2010 Camaro, but the car came with TapShift functionality. It's Chevy version of the paddle shifters. It's 6-speed and I use it all the time when I am driving. I have no issues using that mode in an actual car, my Dad's 2007 TSX is a piece of cake, the SportShift is floor mounted on that car.

But when it comes to driving with the same mode in the game, I just can't get used to it. I have remapped the controls numerous. I think for some reason when I am in an actual car, I have a better feel for the engine and the car. In the game I just don't get the same feedback I get from my own steering wheel or the sound of my own car.

So I keep going at it with automatic.

 

[Justo]

when do the free DLC cars come out? tomorrow?

 

[Boucher]

hopefully

I got that one for winning the Japanese Championship......speaking of which, the game gives you 2 350z for winning two of the racing events in the Extreme section. How does that make any sense?

Atleast make one of them a GT-R or LFA or something.
