Played some more today.. New record for Normal Car.

1'51.407
About a second better than last record, but still third place for me :)

Great Tuned time, you just have dethroned me :P You drive with a DS3? That's an awesome time :)

I won't be able to race until tommorrow to try and do better, but I hope you do better, so I'll have to improve more ;) 

Yeah you're also stuck with a DS3? I'll probably buy a G25 or something the week after christmas.
This Academy Time Trial has really pumped me up for GT5! :D

I hope you beat me! that way I'll have to beat ya again! :)

I have a G25, but it's on my parents house, which I'll only be able to go after christmas XD 

I love racing in the GT games with the DS3 though, it's more of a confortable feeling ;)

I'll try to beat you tommorrow, I think I still can shave 0.3 to 0.4 s off my time, since my 1'38.627 time was done with a massive drift on curve 6 >_<
But after that, I don't know where else can I shave more time to equal Jaaau!'s or Oniichan's time xD  

Yeah, well it's really hard with a DS3 to make good turns, since the analog isn't as good as a wheel ofc, and to gas perfectly with a SD3 u have to tap the button like hell!, holding it will make u spin. A pedal is so much better.. I really suggest you to practice that G25 of yours and master it. :)

Nice

Are you using a driving wheel ??

Thanks :)

Nah, I only have an old one that can only be connected to my PS2, I think..
So I'm using a regular Dualshock 3 ^^

Amazing, ur giving the top 2 a stiff competition using the DS3

I would love to see your time using a wheel :)

I would too, I would too :P
Though I've haven't used a wheel since GT2 I think :p

I imagine this is sacrilege among the driving fraternity, but I prefer the third person view for driving games rather than the cockpit view. Partly because I can personally control the car better that way, because I find it more entertaining to see what the car is doing in real time as opposed to watching the replay of what I've just done, and in some ways it's more like real life because it affords a closer approximation of the peripheral vision you get IRL (not to mention head turning).

But in this timetrial I seem to be stuck with cockpit view >

You can actually change between 3 views using the "select" button if you didn't already know :)

Thanks for the info. I only downloaded and started playing at midnight last night. I tried pushing every button on the controller to change the view except (obviously) the select button.

Right then, tonight the racing starts in earnest!

I'll give the G25 a whirl when I can, but I really like the DS3 ;)

But yeah, you really have to tap the X button like mad to get some proper grip on the curves xD Do you drive with the analogue stick or with the Directional Pad?

The analogue stick.. I've only tried the pad for like, 2 turns all in all, but I'm just used to using analogue stick in racing games, or all games mostly for that matter xD

Which do you use?
