    I've managed a 1:14.3 trying to figure out how to shave off 1 second, to get me in the 1:13's then into the 1:12's
    a few of my cars ... only a few

    Re: Hotlap Challenge Week 26 - Undefined...

    Fair play Pale for coming out with that response. It was mature and considered and something i had hoped to get when i first spoke to one of your members about the matter but was lacking. True everyone makes mistakes but it taking responsiblity for them makes things better which is good to see.

    Factory i know you aren't in charge anymore, however i'm sure like i many other people still look to you as a respected member of the community who i'm positive still has a great say within his team. Having created such a repuatable team i'm certain the founding members of TRC would be keen for it to continue to be seen in this light.

    Solo should have known that none of the teams pay attention to Turn 10 however with his close links to them i feel he rarely will say anything against them or disagree with them in public. When to be perfectly honest the constant glitches and errors are lazy whilst the lack of car clubs shows distain for its most loyal fans. If you could not see a problem with doing the tire glitch why are you running the HLC?

    BBR Pale Rider:
    R2P Henniker:


    You should know the teams pay little attention to what Turn 10 say is ok, up till a few months ago they were ok with bump drafting! Did any of the teams do it? No


    You make a good point here Henniker.  I just found out about this tire glitch a few days ago and once I found out that Che said it was OK and already widely used, I tentatively used it with a couple different cars (none of which are fast enough to post times on the scoreboards).  I was told multiple times that this was OK and I wrongly assumed that I was one of the last people to know about this trick.

    R2P Henniker:

    Whilst my words are strong i am extremly supprised that TRC are the main team involved in this, and slightly disappointed when trying to discuss this with some of your members they don't see the problem.


    I haven't seen the scoreboard for this HLC today other than here on the site (just woke up and am watching the Big 12 championship game) so I cannot say how many fellow TRC members have used my build/setup, but I don't think that we are the main team involved, rather I am the main person involved.  Like I said above, I wrongly assumed that everyone was already doing this and was assured this was a legit way to build the cars so that is how I built it.  I certainly hope the other clubs (and individuals not associated with clubs) will understand that the main problem is me and will not look at TRC in a negative light. 

    Given the outspoken negativity towards this tire issue, I certainly won't use it again regardless of circumstances.  I also would like to see my time removed from the HLC so that I can post a time with a build not using this tire glitch.  My other builds are just as fast anyway but they have those ugly, stock Aston Martin rims :shudders:  and IMO, the real trick to fast times in this car is the gearing, not which rims you can fit under the car. 

    In closing, I'd like to apologize to those that feel I have cheated in this HLC and I'd like to apologize to my TRC teammates for putting them in a situation where they have to defend themselves and other teammates.  I built the cars, I tuned the cars and I gifted them to teammates to use.  If other TRC members have posted times with these cars, it is very likely they didn't know how the car was built, only that it was fast.  This was an honest mistake made by me, based on the information that was provided to me at the time.

    Sincerely,

    Pale




    As far as I am concerned, you have no apologies to make.  As of the time you ran your lap, Turn 10 is still saying that there is nothing wrong.  With so many different 'problems' in this game, it is hard to know what the community will accept, and what they will have an aneurysm over.  I remember people screaming bloody murder when people started using the shift glitch in Forza 1, and by the end everyone was doing it.  We still have to see exactly which way the pendulum will swing here.

    Henniker, seriously, stop it.  Pale is the only TRC to run a lap with the tire switch, you make it sound like our entire team has done it.  Last I checked, only 4 TRC have even ran a lap.  And to answer your question, if I even understood it properly, I haven't ran any laps in these in non season HLC's because unless it is for the team, I am not interested in these cars in the least.  It has nothing to do with the 'glitch'.

    Re: Hotlap Challenge Week 26 - Undefined...

    While we're on the subject of what is or isn't right with this week's HLC how many of you are doing the cone cut on Turn 1?  And on top of that how many are driving way out back to cross the line faster on a hot lap?  I'm not saying you shouldn't do that, but there are some things that are sketchy that have become part of how we hot lap.  This glitch isn't even "breaking" the PI system, but yet because of what needs to be done to do it we are upset by it?  Well in order to do the cone cut you need to run over some cones... in order to do a really fast lap you need to drive out by the amublence and fire truck come to a complete stop and then go to the finish line from there.  If you want to set your fastest lap this is how you do this but would you normally run like this?

    I'm just wondering why some things have become accepted while others have not.

    People turn into the pit exit to get a better angle going into turn 1.  I don't do it because it throws my car out of balance so I'm faster just staying on the track.

    Below is what I just posted on the TRC members forum in our thread discussing this tire glitch.

    TRC Pale Rider:
    Well I did some testing with this Aston Martin and I found that using the regular tires and removing 21 horsepower, using the stock driveline and wheels, I ended with better acceleration and I ran a 1:10.625 lap. Considering my fastest lap with the "glitched" car is 1:10.619 I honestly don't see what the fuss is all about. There may be advantages with certain cars on certain tracks, but the fact is that we will never know who is using this and who is not.
    Without concrete proof, as was the case with the AWD glitch and its telemetry readings, there is no possible way to single out the use of the tire glitch. Therefore, even if Turn10 does fix the glitch, they won't know which times to wipe and which ones to leave alone. That in itself leads to only two possible solutions to ensure scoreboard integrity. 1) Make the tire glitch legal to use and have all the teams come to agreement on usage or 2) make it illegal to use and wipe the entire scoreboard. I tend to lean towards option #1 and I have absolutely zero times posted on the scoreboard with this tire glitch.


    I'd like some feedback on this from everyone.

    There has been a debate about whether or not taking a wider angle on the first turn at Sebring constitutes cheating.  According to the official FIA rules, which govern almost all autoracing, it is not illegal to cross the pit line from the track side.  The line is only there to prevent cars exiting the pits from coming back onto the track too early at their reduced speeds.. 

    Some people in this game feel that because there are some cones along the line that it is illegal to cross it.  I know that I cross the pit line on almost every lap on Laguna Seca, Silverstone and Road Atlanta to name a few.

    The main thing is that the pit lane is a part of the race track, therefore its use is fair play.  The rules are not opinion, but fact.  Nevertheless, some people still insist that it is cheating.

    Why *** and moan, I'm sure someone will post how to for the glitch so everyone will be on the same playing field.

    Honestly, if this thing works how everyone says it does, why should we not be allowed to change the brand of the stock tire compound?  The only reason we can't is because there is no choice in the UI normally but it is more realistic we be able to do it.  I'm all for that.

    Incidentally, with no tuning whatsoever, only the upgrades (not using the glitch either) I ran a 1:12.4 in a few laps with ease.  After the car gets tuned, I can see it getting 1:10's easy.

    Re: Hotlap Challenge Week 26 - Undefined...

    Drama drama drama.. :)

    line crossing  thang is he talking about is taking the last corner very early and slower to get a lenghened run at the start finish for a hot lap. Then the Swingout past the codes at the end of the pit lane to widen corner one. People will go to extreme lengths to come first. i just threw random parts on my car and used a generic tune calculator then finally i made a priddy curve with my gears.
    im like a retard with crayons when it comes to tuning

    Well I don't think it is ruining the HLC, as I posted above I ran a nearly identical time with a setup not using the tire glitch.  VVV Daveyskills seems to have no problems beating my time (he must have come to the same conclusion I did about the gearing Smile [:)])

    Cutting pitlane entrance

    Watch the last part of this lap.  This is why I laugh at those that call it cheating. 

    Cutting pitlane exit

    Every one of them cut here.....

    Re: Hotlap Challenge Week 26 - Undefined...

    People have been doing this before it was "approved" anyhow.  There's no doubt that people doing this are on the scoreboards primarily in S-class, but search A-class scoreboards using the filter for Ferrari F40.  Every single person on the A-class boards in that car had to use this "glitch" to get that car into A-class... The thing is... the car wasn't all of a sudden an A-class Monster because of it... because the impact to the PI is accurate.

    Re: Hotlap Challenge Week 26 - Undefined...

    R2P Henniker:
    Factory how can you claim that the way someone sets a car up is a glitch, i even gave TRC a 206 set up with 55 55 tire pressures when i was in the team. So again something completely different, whilst something i don't like its the way they physics work.





    Problem is, the way you set up cars can and have been glitched.  Remember the 400 mph R class cars on the ovals?  That was achieved with nothing more than a specific setup setting.  55 tire pressures should not work, yet they do, just like the gearing settings should not have pushed the R cars to such ridiculous speeds, but they did.

    I said along time ago when this came out with the F40 that T10 should just release it to everyone to do it.  Figured it was being done some in S class allready and knew there were a couple of A class F40's out there.  They really only have two options.  Release it to the community and give it their blessing.  Which given that it does affect the PI the way it should isn't a problem there.  Or, call it a glitch, and then go through another wipe process.  Which I think we can all agree would be a bad thing for the game.  Especially now that people are finally starting to trickle back to the game.
