I give it another go tomorrow, since this TT started I have not registered a time yet because I keep getting a red lap and crashing between 5 and the 6 minute mark of the TT.
 
03 Bmw M3 CSL @ 500pp is more than capable of getting gold. I managed a 9:59.069 with very conservative driving. Might give it a few more tries if I have a chance.
Worth giving it a shot. Sheer driving pleasure
 
Is there a way to find out how many players have submitted a time to the online scoreboard in total? I want to know how far down I am :P

When I first checked, there are 36416 drivers who have run this Time Trial.

I just ran a slow lap at 16:16.610, and found that I was tenth from the slowest.

The slowest lap is currently 24:39.661:eek:

1st Update:
-------------
Now there are 36818 who have run this Time Trial

2nd update:
-------------
Now there are 40012 drivers who have run this Time Trial
and someone has dropped in a 1:02:07.433 to take the line honors.;)

3rd update:
-------------
Now there are 49554 drivers who have run this Time Trial
and a 55:48.462 lap currently has the line honors.;)

4th update:
-------------
Now there are 64389 drivers who have run this Time Trial

I was looking at the Nissan R390 road car last night.

Has anyone tried that car yet?

Just did a 9:44.0 in a stock car with oil change. 297 hp when set to 80.8%, weight at 1180 kg for 550pp. 3.97kg/hp. Fairly easy to drive with the downforce it has. Sounds pretty good, too. 👍

Wow! How do you know that?
 
So its the 2 car toss up or work like hell with an NSX or other equivalent 500PP car then. Grim and a bit disappointing after trying 3 times with the Scirocco R and coming off (in unpredictable and bizarre places) the other day - may just be hampered nby the fact FF cars torque steer and you can't push hard through corners without losing it elsewhere later on... dogtoffee seasonals this week. The quick matches -I've been unable to join one so far -meh!
 
I know it's been mentioned before that it would be better if these time trial Seasonals paid out more than once, but how about paying out each time you meet the time requirements with a different car? Other than trying to be #1 in the world, there's no incentive to keep participating once you acheive gold.
 
Hey racers, Just wondering what cars others have golded this event with, and found to be good fun drives. So far , I have managed a 9:43 in the gsx and a 9:55(or thereabouts, may have been slightly less) with a Miura, as well as gold with the Toyota FT-1 graphite and the 86 gt 12. Also , the Turbo Speedster by Opel. With a bit of suspension and diff work, this ones near as good as the gsx. What other cars are working? Cheers

Might help I'm almost constantly topped out at 50 million credits, but still...

Yes, that's my game too. Actually just bought a Miura, basically so I can win some more credits, and have another cool car of course. Kind of blows a little winning so many credits that you never get. I don't really see the reason for a limit. If you win them, then they should be yours to spend. 50 mill is ok, but when there are cars that cost 20 mill, then its not that much. If you have to have a limit, then perhaps 200 mill is more realistic
 
RobertM525, I was inspired and bought a RUF RGT. It's baby blue colored. :mischievous:

Oil change, couple hp % reduced and otherwise stock, and I must say that is a fun ride. 9:46 with a lot of cruising around the sweepers cause Porsche. 👍

I am done with this one, I have had a lot of goes on this TT today as soon I get over 5 minutes the car goes :crazy: for some reason.
 
Since I have not been back on this track after finishing the "Arcade" introduction, I have been really struggling with this seasonal. It must be the hardest paint chip I ever earned.

Must have started over more than 50 times, after having received "red digits" for scraping rocks or barriers, only managed to finish 3 valid laps :irked: with te Honda LM road car. The car seems to be rather "slow" since I get passed by some blue lines in every straight. On the other hand, it is cornering rather well, so I can regain the "lead" in the corners, losing time again in the final straights...
The first valid lap was 10:00:405 :banghead: Did they replace the finish line ? :mad:
A day later, the second and third were around 9:43

Going to try some other cars now. I don't have to divide my time between two seasonals, as I'm not even willing to try the stupid Suzuka Red Bull thing.. :yuck: which has i.m.o really nothing to do with driving a car.
 
Finally managed to have a go at this yesterday afternoon.

I started with the NSX R Concept '01, and after a few re-starts, got a 9'27 lap. I could stay with the GSX-R ghost lines for the 1st couple of minutes, and given I don't know Sierra at all, I thought it may be possible for the NSX to compete with better track knowledge.

Then I tried the GSX-R :lol: It's no quicker in a straight line, but it has so much grip.

Ran a red 9'03, but didn't manage to complete a clean lap in it yet as I haven't got the last 1/3rd of the track memorised.

The GSX-R is much more stable on Sierra, and I could run no rear toe and a lot less LSD decel here than the last time I drove the car.
 
Wow! How do you know that?

As @S_Bridge suggested above, I have a 2nd game in which I hadn't run this Time Trial, so I ran my 16 minute lap from this game and got placed waaaay down at the bottom of the rankings so I could see the other slow times without any scrolling.

Same problem here the first time, it took me one hour before i finnaly had one good full lap.
My expierence: i keep remembering at what time the problem corners came.
So when the timer reaches that point, i made sure to be a bit more carefull.
And the event gave me good credits.

But then again, i could write, that you shouldn't give up.But i gave up at the redbull suzuka event.
and did that one just 20 minutes.
But it is the first real fun event for me, a long drive, i like that.

Check out the spreadsheet linked in the OP of the stock car thread. You'll find 7 cars capable of gold in stock form.
 
this road is very close to my house, just 100 KM



9.10.920
not bad for an old man


As I am an old man too (maybe older than you), would you mind sharing the Setup you used for this 9:10,920 ?
Would just be what I Need to beat one of my "friends"! :D

There must be a reason why all the top times are achieved with the GSX !
I have checked now but on the top leaderboard, the first driver not to use the GSX is in # 69 , driving a Miura P400 Bertone Prototype CN.0706 '67. He's # 69 and 0:13,947 behind the world's leader.
The fastest 68 drivers all drive the GSX.
 
Yeah, because it's fast! I got an easy going 9:17 in a GSX, and what do I think about that? Don't care. I could have spent the time I did driving a dozen other cars around on just the Suzuki trying to be faster, but that's not how I enjoy my time.

We're all different. :sly:
 
Down to 9:38:529 now with the Suzuki. First time I ever used this thing. Still left some 5-6 seconds due to two big mistakes...
Tried @dddsprayshop tune first, but could not keep the car on track. Not the behaviour I like.
