PGR3 Tournament now up

Tried this yesterday and fell a few seconds short of the qualifying time, but I haven't played the game in a while. It's a very good idea though.
 
Some stupidly quick times being done, by all accounts low 53's and possibly a high 52!!! My best is 55.80 but im finding the chicane hard at times. I either do it well but bugger something else up or i dont but do the rest of the track really quick :rolleyes:
 
The bar for qualification in Europe is at 53.85 already - I've no chance of breaking that but I'd like to at least get in the top 1,000. Just done a 55.60 and it's only at 1,049th

It's such a nice track to drive well around although it's a shame there's no option to have manual gears.
 
been reading that people are using "shift gear glitch", never heard of it till today and seems some call it a skill rather than a glitch.
 
It's pressing the e-brake the same time you shift up a gear...if you time it right you don't drop revs and consequently get a small improvement.

Not sure if it works on auto and also whether it will make much difference with the Gallardo as it seems to shift quite fast. I've always driven manual but don't use the technique as I don't think it's worth the bother. However, if you do want to try it out drive the F50 GT in manual and you'll notice when it works.

There's also a lot of arguements over whether it's acceptable or not (people claim it's the control pad version of heel clutching or whatever that is), until it's clear that it is I won't bother with it as people notice in replays etc.

Shift glitching won't make much different on the Gallardo as it a pretty good auto shift. I have a 54.10 myself currently and just outside the qualification bar, I'm going to keep trying by its going to be tough to get in I think. The chicane needs to be taken as flat out as possible, you need to keep the speed over 115 at least through it for a fast lap.
 
Is this the compo where if you download the PGR3 100 logo you have a chance to win a limited ed 360 and place in comp, ive been using the logo for ages, dont know why though cos Id be useless if I won a place, limited 360 would be nice though :)

No, theres a new tournament option in career mode that came with the latest patch :)
 
56.10 here, after about 25 laps. Cant see myself qualifying. Is there any way to see a ghost of the fastest lap like you can in career mode? Although I guess that would be cheating ;) Just no idea where im gonna find 3 seconds :O

What course is the tournament being run on? I'd put a guess at Her Majesty's Pleasure from some of the times mentioned.

The course is Tokyo Nishigushi Short route using a Lamboghini Gallardo with auto gearbox.
 
Cool gonna try this tonight when i get home from work.

Do you have to race other people for this tournament or is it just time trial stuff?
I don't fancy going head to head with the worlds best :eek:
