Actually i beat the fastest time last minute around 9pm on that day... And I get the phone after they announce on 10pm when the roadshow is end. I get the phone on the spot after 10pm. For those who can't get the phone it might be other racer beat your time coz the fastest time is will be announce by end of the day. If time is fastest during afternoon it might be someone beat you on night time. If you are the fastest of the day u will informed by nokia Malaysia if you not around that day. Just wait for their call. If no call from them means your time has been preceded by others.

I also try before at mid valley.... I can't beat the fastest time. Then I try my luck again on lowyat. Lucky that I get the phone this time. The time I clocked is 1.54.9xx. That what I remember. And I bring the phone home to my mom for late mother's day present after they announce I'm the fastest time on the last minute challenge.

For those who haven't try yet. I also can't give any advice yet coz what I know from the MC the track is various due to everyday also will choose ramdom track. What I can give is try to be steady when u on the racing cockpit. Coz the racing sim is different from what I DIY for my own fun. They have a motorized pump for seat motion during driving. When I drive for 1st time I also very hard to control the steering.

just drive steady and grab the steering as hard as u can and stay focus. If u are a drift, autocross, track racer this will be the benefit for the challenge. Coz I'm the old timer autocrosser.

huhu i just clocked at 1:38:xxx, far behind the leader mr.Tang who's clocked at 1:27:xxx. i don't know how he can do that superfast time with those spun tires if throttle alot. maybe he got lucky ran with assist like traction control ON.. hehe i just newbie with rFactor. just start played last Wednesday only =.=! The track for today is Sardian Heights Long. Tight and confusing me when reach corner. Anyone here close with that 1:27:xxx time?

Last time my friend also kena, he already hold best time from noon till around 8pm, then a new friend there told that my friend time beaten already with 7 secs. He told that something error happened with the system and need to restart OS, then Nokia Staff who's that time in-charge replace the owner of the sim system, the staff forgot to turn off assist. The be beaten like that. lol! Unlucky & unfair hihihihi.

And Others who have fun today, what the time you all get :-)

trust me, what your are feeling is nothing...there is no FFB, the only thing that you felt was the G27 degree limiter... I don't know what they were thinking setting up like that..

What was enabled was Spring Centering...thats all...that is what you felt...  doh.gif
*
Nop! Nop! the once, when no other player on the stage, i got free run at orchard lake. That run just for fun not counting for time attack. i ask the owner to set the FFB to the max and all assist turning off.. Hell yeah.. it's quite fun, but ya for sure, too much ffb doesn't suit like in reality. :-)

In the time attack run, haha.. the wheel so light! hehehe.. so it's easy to do mistake by ffb bucket seat shake your body and arm..

Since i'm not familiar with simulator, what ever setting they gave, i try to adapt my self as quick as possible. It's kinda same like in real world when you drive another car, another car and another car. We compare and analysis the different, collect data and improvise our self to suit the setting.

hehehe.. TIme for bath!!

even if he put 100% FFB in rFactor, there is still no FFB in the wheel...

if he didn't ALT-Tab and alter some settings, what you have is just increased resistance...that isn't FFB... smile.gif

i don't know lah, the wheel suddenly heavy after he change upgrade thing after i ask them nicely after finished time attack with bad lucj. i don't know la something like that. made my both hand tired.

You won't win! Period....

why? because the winner has been determined early in the morning.... yawn.gif

I got sufficient evidence of race prize fixing...will forward to Nokia Malaysia...

"adik, kawan menang" hmmmmm.... hmm.gif
This is a challenge to the winners who's name shamefully appeared as the fastest guy at that event! I challenge them! Come out and accept the challenge...  Pre-determined win, I also can...

If their friends are reading this, let them know that antonio from Lowyat.net challenge them in a race or time trial using rFactor....any mods (V8, F1, GT) any real-life tracks... Let's see if they really are that good to win...

Under 1:05:000? hehehe i start been there since wed, then came back evening thurday friday saturday and sunday. still bad luck ^.^. oh man.. i'm bad with racing simulator.. ^.^ tongue.gif

hehe i in real life doesn't have any car, but.. i love test drive cars and 2nd but, i not test the car speed, i test the handling and car characteristic. not in SIC, but in tight old hill road. It not a race, just fun drive because mostly all my test drive car stock & standard. and here you will see i drove a very weak Proton Persona Auto Transmission as stock from Manufacture and equip with err.. Good Year NCT 5 only, had some fun with others which most of them already tuned their car.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=En-Bxwh_n10 (login youtube if cannot watch)

Back to Sim story, first day i came Low Yat, after bought some stuff at viewnet, i say the simulator at lobby. That time i don't know what is game they playing, i wait about 20minutes for my turn. The 20minutes i used to watch others had fun with the game and in the same time i learn the track. i haven't any experience about simulator especially with steering wheel and ffb bucket seat. before my turn come i went out to had some cigarette. Then come my turn, i try my luck. time to beat is 2m06s. after exit pitstop, i try to learn the game characteristic. dang! went over sand field. it's okay time still not count, i drove cruise at the course and try increase speed around corner with some little late braking. Then the time start count. The time 2:06 to beat, but that time i don't think i can win that time because zero experience in sim. I just play the game just like how i drive a real car. i adapt it slowly. reach finish line i clocked at 1m55:4xx. i beat a person who got simulator at home with diy ffb bucket seat which his first run clocked at 2:06. then because i too excited with the sim with that ffb bucket seat i do try my 2nd run. i tried more aggressive, but dang!! i do some little mistake understeer at one corner and 2nd mistake i failed to re-stabilize the body-roll(tail happy) of the car before the finishing. But i still clocked at 1:25:7xx. The guy 2:06 who's have simulator at home come and try his 2nd run, if you were him you sure also not syiok see newbie like me beat your time easily like that. His 2nd run clocked close to my time, 1m56:xxx. Then we start talk each other.. bla bla bla.. then suddenly he go in again for 3rd time, then i become nervous. omaigoat! i tried ask the crew to register for 3rd run, haha.. player registration already close, and he was the last driver for that day! and Good of him! he beat my time at 1m54:9xx. and he got Lumia phone. hehehe..

so the simple conclusion is, if a newbie like me in simulator can made other experience sim player wet, why not others can make you wet. For me it just only games, win or lose normal. I always hold on this word " Being Fast doesn't mean you are fast enough, there are always others who faster than you". Just relax la okay. i also lose for 5 days already.. hahaha why so serious just having fun only. I collect T-Shirt and Umbrella already happy.. hahaha

hehe your story also good.. since you are a journalist then maybe Nokia Malaysia will open their eyes. But don't know lah.. haha actually because of some fishy timing, on Sunday i come early , reach there at 11.10am. the guys who won last sunday lucky because he said that he already familiar with that course that is his fav. course. He got rFactor in his office PC. He also said even he play use keyboard he also can get 58:xxx. With steering wheel for sure he will more better that keyboard control. and he is my friend who's drive rally car and cub prix competitor :-)

The thing that you said on what happened on friday and sunday might be true also. About player who have more than 2 or three rounds. i have extra 3 round yesterday, but without time record after i finished 2 official run, just having fun in other course :-) Chill!
