whats the deal with you guys and wheels? anybody got one or do you stick to the DS3?

Would love one but aint got the space to set it up.

[Phill P]

I've got a wheel and its more fun but a bit of a faf to sort out so most of the time I use the normal controller

I'd never invest in a wheel as I know I'd soon get fed up with the unpacking and setting up procedure.

so much better then having the wheel on your lap etc.
takes seconds to set up just slide it out to the right length tighten it then un fold the seat.
gont mine for £280 though

gont mine for £280 though

Just the seat?
I bought mine more than 2 years ago, and from what I remember it was 350€ for the seat and 300€ for the G25 steering wheel

[H3RB]

nah i got it off ebay second hand, the seat and the g25 both for £280 i got lucky

Had a few cracks at that race you mentioned this morn, a bit tricky is that one, I almost managed to trade paint with 3rd places rear bumper but thats the best I did, what did you work out to get second? this course has proven quite tough previously on some of the challenges set.

Adjusted the rear camber so i have more grip on the final right bend and lowered the suspension a bit. Got the gearing closer together too as well and had to turn the aids on as well. TC was up to 5 and the other active steering thing.

Ohh... and smashed the 3rd place out the way about 2 turns into the final lap!

Right, Seasonal event

its called Gran Turismo - Expert Challange Race and its between Honda Civic and Supercar Festival events.

Has anyone managed to come 1st in the Lotus 111R challange? I cant seem to get any closer than 2 secs off the lead guy by the end and even then it took me ages to work out how to come 2nd!

How did you even manage to get 2nd ?
Best I got was 5th

And the Lotus one should be the easy one.

The one that annoys me most is the Impreza challenge next to Lotus.
You have to race 600+ bhp monsters like ZR1's and stuff.

[Andy Jones]

I've managed 2nd in the lotus with 10mm lowered sports suspension and a big ironing board on the back, not tinkered with the lsd yet and 2 secs of 1st place, that last corner is a b1tch, you have to maintain 80+ mph without the back end slowly stepping out of line half way through the corner.

@Fizz ... no TC or SC either .......... Fag!!!

[fizz]

damn... forgot about the spoilers etc... never had them fitted!

And yes i am a fag... Im the same time off the 1st place too, about 2 secs. Was annoying as hell.

With regards to the scooby one at leguna seca it is a PITA. I've so far managed to get about 4/5th i think.

Not tried the scooby one yet, a mate last night was asking the same Q's, he's managed the Elise and 500 one but can't get past 3rd in the scooby one.
