GTR2 - what are your laptimes at Donington?

[CaptainRum]

Not done Donny Gp since my reinstall but have done some laps at Donny National.

Dunno why I'm faster in a Beemer though. (All aids OFF).

Feck m8! There are some damn decent times there. Would ge great to compare your full-circuit times at Donny, if you get around to it...

[BenR]

58 in a beemer!!!!!!!!!

That's obviously the next one for you to try, Ben!

D.

 

[BenR]

tried it, dunno how you can get 4 secs a lap in a slower car :S

Must be the way he drives it.

[Paul_P1]

Must have some sort of Mod on the BMW, it's an impossibility to get that time in that car, IMHO.

 

[BenR]

must be...i could only drop down 0.2 a second on the saleens time with the 700bhp modded porsche!

 

[Darren S]

I'm just about to fire up Donny again - the short circuit this time. See what I get with.......... the Corvette.

D.

 

[CaptainRum]

Now thats what I thought, the only other thing I can think of is GTR has done a GTL and mixed up the lap times. Un-modded Beemer though.

 

[CaptainRum]

I've figured it out, it was from an online event and it was what they call a warp lap. They've just deleted a load of time over at gtr2rank because of it.

So I've just ran it again only managed 1m07.345

 

[Darren S]

Just had a bash with the 'Vette - what a feckin' car! I liked the Saleen, but the 'Vette's superb....

Had a great battle with two of the CPU cars - another 'Vette and a Porker...

D.

 

[BenR]

the vette does rock!

how do you capture so many times during one reply, i cant?

 

[Darren S]

Alt+Tab and have Paint open in the background m8. Paste it, save it and then onto the next!

D.

 

[BenR]

yea i do that......but pain gives me s**t resoluition captures.

Hi
You guys using keyboard, joypad/game controller or wheel ?
GTR2 looks very good, Anyone playing it that's experienced GT4 on the PS2, I've only ever played car racing stuff on PS2, use my PC purely for FPS

Reckon I'd like it if I like playing GT4

Cheers

 

[BenR]

yes, it rocks.

Physics is better than GT4 which is the only thing i played on PS2 really.

I use a gamepad like the ps2 controllers.

 

[rich[182]]

Mmmmmmmmmmm this could be my first venture into car racing on the good ol' PC, sure I've seen it somewhere for about £15 too

Aye £17.99 @ Play and Amazon :approve:

I use Grabclipsave, its a little program that works when you press print screen, and it'll save it into a .bmp, .png or .jpeg file in the folder of you choice.

I've stuck it up for you if you're interested( sorry about the rapidshare link, best I could find after I forgot the PW for my own ftp space).

Rapid share link click on the free button; bottom right to get to the download


Oh, nearly forgot. Just done a few laps of Donny GP and managed a 1m26.796

 

[BenR]

it wants me to wait 73 mins to download it........lol

 

[Darren S]

What gears do you guys run in at:-

- Redgate
- Old Hairpin
- Coppice

These three seem to be my weakest corners at Donny....

D.

 

[BenR]

on ALL those corners i do the same thing lol.

redgate and coppice i dip into second whilst trail braking to the apex, this tightens the nose in, then i snick 3rd as i'm passing the apex and on the power. On Coppice i'm hitting 4th by the final ruble strip on the outside.

Old hairpin i brake quite early into 3rd, so otherwise you just go wide. entry speed right at the top of 3rd gear and basically on the limter throgh it, hit 4th just before you hit the ruble strip on the outside and 5th by the rublestrip on the kink up starkeys bridge.

 

[Darren S]

Ah. That's probably one of my big chunks of time wasted right there.

Redgate I always take in 3rd and the Old Hairpin usually in 4th having down-changed and braking from a screaming 5th, down Craner. Sometimes I can make 6th very briefly down Craner, but I find the car(s) are really unsettled going into the Old Hairpin at that speed.

Coppice, Coppice, Coppice. What a fecker of a corner that is. Tighter on entry, then straightening up for the Dunlop Straight. I'd say one in every five attempts on that corner, do I get it 'right' - and always in 3rd gear.

I think what's clear from your comments Ben is that going in slow into the corner, then powering your way out is the better way of doing it. I'm entering the corners too quickly and loosing shedloads of time trying to rein the car back in, through the duration of the bend.

Back to the circuit, I go......

D.

 

[BenR]

yea, the problem on this game is they ploug on.

And its horrid in the porsches when you run low on fuel as you have no weight over the front end.

 

[Darren S]

True. But doesn't it show you the level of detail that they've gone into, with GTR2? :approve:

D.

 

[BenR]

yup lol

But porsches are best around the ring as they are spongy and dont get thrown off by bumps.

i think we should do best ring times!

 

[Day]

My first ever attempt at Silverstone.

Engine lunched itself on the finish line somehow

 

[Nik]

Have just downloaded and tried out the ring. Excellent fun, not too far off the real thing accuracy wise I didn't think. Some of the kerbs are too high though, bit of a nightmare in the Saleen! Going to try it in a GT3 RS now i think, i'll post a lap time later.

 

[Paul_P1]

Where else can I download the Ring, no-grip doesn't seem to agree with me?

Cheers!

 

[BenR]

dunno, i got it from there fine.

All registered and stuff?

Looks like they've had a new server installed - purely for downloads as of today. Maybe it will work now, if you retry?

I'll definitely want to get my mitts on this one.....

[BenR]

Man i love that circut!

Full 24hr circut, the long one.

 

[Darren S]

I'll have a bash over the weekend. Don't know the circuit at all well, so I'd expect at least 12 or 13 minutes!

Which Porker was that in, Ben?

D.

 

[bradfincham]

New Challenge for you all

Donnington National in the M3 - 1.06.48

Thats with stability help, low traction and anti lock

You guys need to download the motec data logger really makes it worth playing then, as you use the proper motec software as well!!

I would do m8 - but it doesn't like XP64 and I can't be arsed to find the solution on the net! . Good time that though brad - we'll have to see what Ben 'Opposite Lock Meister' R can pull out of the bag!

D.

 

[CaptainRum]

I got beached in the Saleen round the ring trying to avoid a bloody Golf, Not had time to get a decent lap, maybe over the weekend.
