finally can get 1.40...ds3 user tho..
but way behind u guys here...

Yea.. i occasionally use that..... especially out from a slow corner... sometimes i may have been a little too excited and throttled too quickly.. so, without releasing the throttle... i'll shift to the next gear... Wheelspins are one the main culprits for oversteering in my opinion...

imho, if you guys shorts shift, you'll miss a lil' bit of momentum

by lost of momentum you mean slower acceleration right? If so, yeah that's right but not spinning off and being able to full throttle earlier compensate for that. Most

obvious example is 4:34 in my video. I would've spin for sure had i stay in 3rd gear. I could let go of the throttle a bit and countersteer but that would've lost me time as

the corner is leading to a long straight. That's why i said the key is to know when to use it.

i think the other one that i like to point out to overcome this problem - besides progressively applying the throttle is to make sure your car is straight - then slamming the throttle

Dah try different technics, still cannot break 1.41... ...my best lap 1'41.2++ only ...i hate gt5..

I like to quote "The Making Of" video from GT4 Prologue (PAL) (You guys should hunt for this DVD - very good insight, plus narrated by VBH)

" Sometimes you need to relax to become faster".

Sometimes when we rush for faster timing - in actual fact we're getting slower

Yea.. that's about sums it up.... just drive as consistenly as possible... relax... and try hard not to think about the lap time...

I tried too hard before... and i always couldnt break a certain time... but when i relax.. concentrate on brakes, acceleration and racing line... eventually, the time will start to tumble...

are there any videos of more drivers using gt? would like to see alonso playing gt5p using the ferrari f1 car

anybody here familiar with the pricing of these steering wheels? whats the price for a GT25, GT27 and Force GT? garage sales section dont really mention much about it. tq

G25 is about RM900 i think
G27 about RM1130
GT Force about RM450

estimates,ofcourse.

thx. guess i'll get myself a Force GT since the other 2 hurts my wallet

lol yeah i probably should xD. I just love having the security of knowing the 'true' racing line or when to brake, etc. That S hairpin is really killing my time -0.3s ahead of my best in the previous sector and came out +0.2s after the hairpin wtf lol. Tried to watch some replays but can't seem to get my speed up to 80kph+ like they do. And they seem to be able to just hug the curb easily. If i tried to do that I'll either be too slow or end up overshooting the turn. Tips/trick please

zeri do u use ds3??

Exactly man.. like i said... the S Hairpins are the ones that kill a lot of people...

guys, what the average speed at the s hairpins?

man i ranked 1479th .. on ds3 and auto tran .. dont mention the s hairpin , the first corner i already troubled huhu

I saw some people downshift to 2nd at the S-pin, some hang on to 3rd. Which one is better? I feel slow if using 3rd gear, whereas 2nd u need to very delicate with the throttle. I think 1.38.4 is the most i can do.

i'm so slow, 1:46

nope, wheel

First s corner is definitely 2nd gear better but for the 2nd one i saw some shift up to 3rd when they reached 80kph and stay there. Personal preference i think. I'm pretty certain the best way to go about that hairpin is by hugging the curb at around 50kph, accelerate to 80+ then hug again(no braking), while readying to full throttle on the exit. Thing is, it's not easy to do Gonna try again later tonight

1:46 means you still got a lot of room for improvement


that Yin613 is lyn forumer or not? Broke 1:36 already damn nice
