Yeah throttle control. Look at your throttle input to make sure you're doing it right.

Wheel steers itself because of force feedback from your wheel and it means you're losing grip. Don't turn it off as it's very useful. With this car it's very hard to correct oversteer. You need to detect very early when your car is losing grip and then countersteer as fast as possible.

Using ds3 is easier coz the input is 1, 0 and -1 so you just have to press left or right to get to the end of the other side. With steering it has a range from -1 to 1 (0.2, 0.3 etc) so need to turn a more than using ds3

The best thing about this, I might be able to go there next week

gt5p

Tomorrow i'll give you some pics Maybe even a video if i managed to break 8min lol

The virtual one, yeah xD

Nah fastest is a French guy. 135.199 and he clocked that time on the last day of EU deadline.

I'm on my way now lol. Seeing that no one send a pic with under 8 min might have a chance to get the prize. Concerned bout right hand shifting though

Gt5get ready to postpone! Kinda frustrating trip just now, too many ppl there (kids lol) 1 and a half hour there and I get to play 3 times only /sigh. To top it off I miss my target time by 1.458s

The round start at 24s though so I did technically break 8mins. I'm gonna post the pic at the blog anyway who knows I might still get the prize. Gonna post 1-2 pics later when I get back home. But no video coz the merchant guy didn't let spectators get near the rig

I just had to have another go today after reading that the demo is only standard physics Slamming the throttle after each corner gets me this xD



And now for some pics






The guy that manages the place told me i'll win a ps3 if the leaderboard stays that way . Still nearly 2 months to go before the competition ends so not getting my hopes up yet lol

Here's the link to the daimler blog, you'll need to put it through a web translator though.

All in all, very satisfied with my trip now. The rig is simply superb, i wish i had one like that at home. It was so comfortable and stable unlike my patched up "steering-on-a-table rig". The demo itself is not bad, though i wish i can play professional instead of standard to really test the new physics. Graphics are stunning, much better than the time trial one. No comment about sound, cant' really hear the engine sound coz they turn down the volume

erm no? gt is not that rich to give away that kind of prize lol. If you're talking about the time trial, top 2 from eu will get the chance to be a real racing driver with nissan gt team. Google lucas ordonez and you'll get what i meant
