jom2 anyone up for a race? gtpsp

what do you mean cant connect?

Those at gtplanet are saying it's gonna be out by 9am GMT. So that means around 5pm msian time thursday?

wth la demo up already at jpn psn but i dont have jpn psn

meh i'm just gonna wait until it comes out on other psn. Don't forget to post ur laptimes lol

is the server down everywhere? wake up, downloaded, set up my wheel and all that, only to see the server is currently undergoing maintenance...

sedih ni lol. apelaa server dok maintenance lak. penat aku tunggu dari semalam

damn nice. after 1 hour of playing i managed to get it down to 139.9xx. Sometime i just throttle it too early, causing it to spin off. Did you do yours with TCS on?

yeah i set it to off coz i think it's supposed to be faster with tcs off, just harder to drive lol.

Down to 1:38:922 woohoo. Kazunori Yamauchi, here i come!

g25 and now i'm down to 1:38:052 lol. Need to find another 0.4 to pass KY. I lost lots of time in the middle sector especially the s turns and the turn before that. If i could get them right then it should be possible

Yeah just buy it. Wont take long to get used to it, just remember not to slam ur throttle right away after corner, otherwise you'll spin off. Gradually is the key

Last sunday i learned a new thing : The power of short shifting lol. It's extremely useful to enable you to get back on full throttle as full as possible, or to prevent

oversteering as there'll be less wheelspin at a lower rpm. Everytime I feel like the car is going over it's slip limit, i'll shift up as soon as possible to prevent

oversteering. I still lost a lot of time at the S turns but still managed to better my time by quite a bit using the shortshifting trick. The trick is to know when to use it. Now

off to normal car

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.

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

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

does anyone know if there'll be prizes given out for the asia leaderboard of the time trial?

how much is the wheel stand pro?

bummer lol. Not fair at all. AFAIK EU top 20 got to go to the 2nd round of GT academy, US a trip to Indianapolis track, JP GT5 copies?

btw Thrust, which account are you playing on? I can't find your name on the leaderboard. Only saw aaron there

lol I think i know why. I'm guessing you downloaded the demo using japan psn, but play using sg acc. You're what they'd call NTSC outsiders i think.

The leaderboard i'm seeing is here http://gtdb.net/?tt/80:total
