GT5 Sebastian Vettel X Challenge - Gold

[s4cral 3]

Hi all, these are my gold runs in the vettel challenge. I've placed them in order with the most

difficult listed first. Notice on Suzuka I short shift into 5th gear on the second corner. I found

that gave a little more grip and as you come over turn 6 you can see vettel ghost well before he

gets around turn 7. If your cornering speed is good then its probably better to stay in 4th gear.

I use ABS=1 and Skid Recovery force ON with everything else off. My times were just good enough

to obtain gold and I have'nt played them since. Hope this helps and good luck.

How this game got a higher score for physics than Forza 4 is laughable, the tire model is terrible

Hi It would be interesting to figure out an impartial way to test the tire modelling physics

of race simulation software. I guess if you could figure out how to hook up a McLaren ATLAS

system to forza4 and GT5 drive the same car setup then compare the data would get the job done

You can say that again

Thanks Guys ... I can't really comment on how well either Forza4 or GT5 model tire physics as I have

no idea how they actually implement it within their code or how they translate that to what

you feel as force feedback behind the steering wheel. Personally I like the feel at the steering

wheel and how it relates to what you see and hear within GT5 compared to Forza4. But I

also enjoy driving Forza4 just as much as GT5.

Cheers

Sorry s4cral, kinda put a damper on your thread. Brilliant skill to drive that car that fast.

ya have to remember hennessey that the red bull sticks like the proverbial 'shit to a blanket' no matter what tyres, downforce, etc is selected lol

only 1 problem that car technically doesn't exist until red bull racing actually builds 1 then we'll know

The X2010 in Gran Turismo 5 has two engines, one to power the wheels another that powers a vacuum that sucks the car down to the ground adding incredible downforce. If this car was real no human being would even be able to drive it anyways, too much G force. Regardless of any of this the car is just fun to drive sometimes on GT 5.
