MFX Posted 16April, 2018 Report Share Posted 16April, 2018 Hey guys, I have been following a thread on the Z car forum where all the guys have been driving the same 240z around Bathurst. I was thinking we should be doing something similar on here, so I am thinking the 911R around Bathurst. Bathurst, particularly over the top is a track to sort out the men from the boys so lets see some times. Current leaderboard 2:04.581 @thumperson 2:08.691 @MFX 2:09:507 @Pokiou 2:09.874 @nbauto 2:10:240 @Big Dav 2:12.982 @ugame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevMcRev Posted 16April, 2018 Report Share Posted 16April, 2018 I've got PC2 (and PC1) but never play 2 because my wheel is not compatible. The kids seem to manage alright on the controller but I am hopeless on it without the wheel! Need to get a new wheel setup. Anyone want to buy a Fanatec GT3RS wheel and pedals set? It's great, but not compatible with some of the latest games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 16April, 2018 Report Share Posted 16April, 2018 Aaaah right....sim racing, gotcha! ? Was going to say finish the 911 first Jeff! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerry Posted 17April, 2018 Report Share Posted 17April, 2018 I'm driving PC2 tonight at a friend's and looking forward to driving real Pcars for the first time, and not having to RUF pretend! I'm up for a 911R going down through the corkscrew, and let the PFA virtual IROC begin! Standby for a average time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted 17April, 2018 Report Share Posted 17April, 2018 This might be enough to get me to finally get it out of the plastic wrap it's still in and have a go ... Only have a controller as well as the old wheel I had doesn't work on PS4 so I look forward to setting the benchmark slow lap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick-PBTB Posted 17April, 2018 Report Share Posted 17April, 2018 Ill try go for a few laps tonight, usually fairly quick around bathurst. I assume you mean the 911 GT3 R? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevMcRev Posted 17April, 2018 Report Share Posted 17April, 2018 I'm shitze at Bathurst - that track really doesn't flow for me. Shouldn't we Porsche people be at the 'ring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't we Porsche people be at the 'ring? That is the point. It is a very difficult track to get right, and I am not an expert at all. Just thought it would be good to get a car and game that is the same for all of us and we can set a bit of a leaderboard. 3 hours ago, nbauto said: Ill try go for a few laps tonight, usually fairly quick around bathurst. I assume you mean the 911 GT3 R? Yes maybe it was a GT3 R. From memory it was in the top right of the Porsche options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dav Posted 17April, 2018 Report Share Posted 17April, 2018 I used the GT3 R as I couldn’t find a plain old 911 R [emoji6]I had a crack for 10 laps and got down to a 2.14.9 which is crap I know but it’s early days!I used the stock “loose” setup but really struggled getting out of the left hander after braking hard for The Chase. Some tweaks should improve it a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFX Posted 17April, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 17April, 2018 Cool, that is the start of times on the board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted 17April, 2018 Report Share Posted 17April, 2018 I just bought a better wheel so I'm keen to get back into sim racing - we used to race GT Legends once a week (it's got Porsches!) and it was great fun, then we got caught up in some Australian Carrera Cup series and I sort of lost interest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick-PBTB Posted 18April, 2018 Report Share Posted 18April, 2018 Best I’ve managed at the moment is a 2:14:112. Struggling to find pace down the back side of the mountain. Also apparently the world record for the 911 GT3R on PC2 is 1:54. That’s insane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFX Posted 28April, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 28April, 2018 I finally got back from NZ and after about half an hour I put down a very shabby and beatable 2:13.604. My potential is 2:12.083 at the moment if I can string it all together. Anyway, I have added a leaderboard to the first post in this thread so the current times to beat are up there.

MFX Posted 3May, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 3May, 2018 I am on Xbox and I need to subscribe to Xbox Gold to go online (and access Time Trials and a bunch of other features). It really annoys me to have to pay another monthly subscription to something. Why can't I just pay a one off fee!!! I will probably sign up soon, so we can organise something.

Pokiou Posted 3May, 2018 Report Share Posted 3May, 2018 ohh bugger im on PS4 for that :(... maybe we need to find a medium which would be PC... assetto corsa has the largest selection of Porsches game wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokiou Posted 5May, 2018 Report Share Posted 5May, 2018 Hang on.. are these times with ALL assist off or some on... cause me being the idiot have all the assists off and driving the 911 Carrera RSR around Bathurst trying to get that time and only getting 2:20 lol... Ok the GT3 R my time on PS4 is: 2:13:220.. Not happy as im currently 4-5 seconds off my old pace . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without assists, we are men (and women) not mice ? When I first learn a track I will often turn on the braking zones, but as you get faster they are distracting and only give you a rough guide anyway. It takes a while to learn the balance of the car. I also don't include any laps that they don't, which can get really annoying if you come off mid track and it won't accept your next lap either ggrrrr. I will also add that when I first started trying to get times on the Z forum I couldn't get within 15secs of their times. Now I have gotten down another 15 secs and the top guys are still 6 secs quicker than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, you knocked that 10 seconds down quickly, looks like you just needed some encouragement Time has been adjusted, so now I need to start pushing that track again ?

grantmr Posted 5May, 2018 Report Share Posted 5May, 2018 Does it have to be PC2? I have forza 7 on Xbox, it has Bathurst and I think gt3rs. I might fire it up and see if the times are comparable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using a controller I could only muster a 2:10.1, in a 2018 gt2rs with race tyres and diff.

MFX Posted 7May, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 7May, 2018 I will have a look at doing a sim racing vid. There may be some interest I suppose. Anyway, I had another half an hour or so trying to string a lap together. I have gotten slightly faster at a 2:12.473, but my potential is down to 2:10.709 if I can just get my sh!t together in one lap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
