Gran Turismo Sport | Monday Night Racing Club: every week @ 8PM UK
Varnsen replied to McSpeed's topic in Discussion
aha well I'm glad you didn't find it annoying or off putting. Was just spectating and couldn't keep my big mouth shut. Still annoyed I went off at Spoon at Suzuka, I had Noble beat. Damn him! -

So it’s in the campaign, Group 1 Cup. monza, no chicane. 1st place gets you 220k but a ‘clean’ race doubles that to 440k. i use the SRT Tomahawk VGT. This race allows tuning so go into car settings and upgrade power and weight to the max. Also choose soft tyres. you should be in first place by the end of lap two and in total the race lasts about 11 minutes. -

I’ll post the settings car choice for a race in arcade mode that takes like 11 minutes and nets you 400k on average later. Should make the cash grind easier for those of us who’ve done all the circuit experiences already. -

on a controller, yeah for sure. Been a blast on the wheel though, medium tyres! plus trading hundredths of a second with pimp has been interesting. -

yes and in GT Sport getting on the power as early as possible in a corner is the next step. That's only really doable if you're trailbraking and loading up the car with grip. Basically slow in, fast out. Wish I had better pedals though. And a better wheel. -

Bathurst punishes you for overdriving. Think that’s why people get frustrated. You have to let the cars momentum do it’s thing and a weirdly a light touch on the brakes as you crest the hill is crucial. You give it 50% brakes down to 25% before some heavy braking as you try to take that initial downhill bit. once I got that I started to just let the car roll down instead of trying to force it. that’s what makes getting on the power for the second straight feel so good. -

Oh come on! bathurst is amazing, just put the laps in and reap the rewards! Makes you a better driver I reckon. Just go easy down the mountain! feels incredible when you go over that quickly. Two epic straights as well. The 12hrs at Bathurst has some of the best gt3 racing I’ve ever seen. Pinnacle motor sport event imo. Right up there. -

Is this the sort of thing I should include in my CV? I think I could squeeze a couple more tenths out but at that point it's so many laps. I'm happy to be within a tenth of Pimp. In terms of getting faster, honestly, trail braking in Gran Turismo in the Gr3s is the thing. If you trail brake correctly in the R8 you have more grip in the corner and then mitigating somewhat the power oversteer. Also, GT is all about getting on the power as early as possible. I'd say since i started learning to trail brake and using the wheel, I've taken nearly 2 seconds a lap off my times. That and also forming rivalries via the TT with Vlad and Pimp. Knowing you could go faster is a good motivator. -

You can better practice the handling/tyre aspects by creating your own lobby set to 'Endurance'. You can make it private, set tyre wear/fuel etc. -
You have to if competitive lap times are going to be achieved. It's absolutely essential.
