FT-86 in Gran Turismo 5

[NESW20]

i stick almost exclusively to online with friends, because that way when someone punts me through turn 1 at suzuka, i know where they live!

unfortunately i haven't been able to race with you guys yet, but i will!

can anyone help me with my gear ratios im finding that they are too short(especially 6th) on any kind of mid-high speed tracks and am constantly hitting the limiter, what should i put each gear ratio as or should i just change the final(and to what??)

Maybe some time later we all need to have FT86c races :happy0180:

FT86 for me is pure drift. Brake bias, toe, tires...all setup for drift.

My Gsport though....that thing is on rails... I love driving that baby to death. I think it has the most miles on it than any other car. I got a trophy award last night for either racing a race 100 or more times or X amount of miles on a car (forget the number). But once one of your vehicles reaches a certain mileage you get a hidden trophy. I'll see if I can look in my trophy list to see the exact verbiage.

PS....my driving style probably also had a lot to do with me being on the gas in mid corner. "Slow-in-Fast-Out" that's the way I drive. That's the way I race in real life too.

At this time, you are only allowed to change the Final Drive on any car.



Side note: I might buy an FT86c to setup for grip. And I might get another GSport for a Drift setup.

Seriously, your G's is freaking fast! I had to kinda cheat on one race That tells me, I gotta work on my G's more. It's not good enough as my other FT86c

Maybe I haven't practiced Mazda Laguna Seca that much, even though I was about 2secs on you there, it still didn't feel right on that track.

Your FT86c though was right at home on Trial Mountain. I was pushing hard to drop that 2sec gap you had on me there. I was pushing hard on that last lap. On that left hander it's a thin line between planting it and ending up in the wall. Last lap, I tried to accelerate earlier to catch you and ended up putting myself into the wall... Had the damage set to Heavy, so there was no coming back from that one...lol. I limped it home thus the 15+sec victory for you. Nonetheless though, damn was the FT86c Fast at Trial Mountain. That N/A power at nearly 400hp was sweat. I couldn't keep up with you on the tightness of TM. I would like to get your FT86c against my GSport on Deep Forest next time.

Here is a tid bit of advice for you on the Grid start. Rev bouncing is not the fastest way off the line. I throttle it up to about 5k rpms....as soon as the "1" disappears from the screen, I got WOT. By the time the car registers WOT and starts to accelerate, the word "Start" is on the screen and I'm off. I seem to get off the line a lot quicker this way, give it a shot. Modulate the throttle and then when you see the "1" actually fade off the screen gas it.

Good Racing bro....I Unlocked Nurburg through the AMG Special event, so get your practice on as that's one that's going to be a challenge.


PS.....I can't seem to get Golds on the Special Events as there are no "Ghost" replays of yourself, so can't tell where I can be faster. I've had to settle for Silver, but I'm but a few tenths short of Golding them. I will take a crack at it again once I have my steering wheel. Either that or more practice on the Burg.

Come on guys....Ich and I have battled a hand full of times now with our 86's. I think a 5 man Rush of 86's with me hosting the room will be a BLAST! We only clean race, so no shinanigans! Bring your A GAMES cause I don't play with "bandaids" and now that damage is in the game, it's Heavy Damage 24/7. You crash at the NurBurg, you might as well exit the race....LOL.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I felt so weird racing in Laguna. That 2 sec is all I can keep, but 2nd time you kick my ass hardcore. one secion, you had me on 16sec. Seriously, I need to tune my G's

Thanks, took me ridiculous amount of time tuning that FT86c. It's still not a perfect, but in those tight corner course, it's perfect... like trail mountain & other bumpy course. Deep Forrest? Sure, hopefully I can keep it up w your G's, cuz your G's is way fast in mid section cornering while, I'm still struggling with it.

Thanks for the advice. Yeah, if I have my gas as R2, prob I get better acceleration, but I still have as x, so can't do anything bout that. I tried doing it w R2, but something bout it, it doesn't sit well w me. I'll keep that in mind to soften up the start. Unless I have this controller or G27, I highly doubt gonna improve much more.


Please no Nur, I'm hella sux at Nur. I'm practicing over and over there, but still crashes. Prob you can Reverse whole track and you still beat me. btw what's your time lap in Nur w FT86c or G's FT86c?

I'm done for tonight, but I should be on around same time. My PSN ID is G-Impact

[Dragonitti]

I haven't ran the GSport at the Nur yet, but I'm planning on it. I just unlocked the Nur for practice, so I'm going to be doing some test and tuning with it there.

Perhaps we can start a roll call for guys playing. Put your Time Zone and what times you jump on. Is everyone free on the weekends? Like Mid-day on Saturdays?
