Chapeau! At least with the same tweaks... I will try of course, but if there are another 3-4 seconds is another question. Great pushing to the limit đź‘Ť
Since everyone probably has the track unlocked, has anyone tried the X1 on the track yet? If so how did it go?
For the X2014 the aerodynamics are much better that the '10 & '11, allowing it to get better speeds, even with the lack of power. If it had the same power as either of those, it would be massively overpowered and the best redbull in every situation.Interesting to see the top of the board is being dominated by X2014, the one with least power. I guess drivability and consistency is more important here than outright speed.
Yes, I remembered this thread: X1 On Zahara Challenge, and thought "I'm happy I had a lot of practice"Quote from "The Sierra Time Rally Thread"
This could be the inspiration for this seasonal Add random rain from 30 to 50% halfway through and it's served.
But it's actually faster weirdly, I love the red bulls but I hate the track so much that i'll never race it, but i set a world record in the X2011 on GT5 on have got great results from other red bull time trials, maybe my x2011 setup on GT5 could be helpful?Interesting to see the top of the board is being dominated by X2014, the one with least power.

If I feel up to it I might give this another go with the X2010 S Vettel (with its special longer gearing) and the X2014 to see if I can improve.
are you a masochist ?If anyone is going to hate on this seasonal, Blame me since I guess I suggested it.

Thats quite a stretch. I made the X1 Zahara Challenge thread so blame me instead.If anyone is going to hate on this seasonal, Blame me since I guess I suggested it.

I get dizzy every time I try this TT......@DrAug - thanks for your set-up! đź‘Ť
I had a large window of racing time today after a few hours previously with a RB x2011 car to learn the track. I started at 6:24.373 and quickly achieved a bronze time of 5:58.221. I switched to the RB x2014 car with stock settings and achieved a silver time of 5:34.783...now the fun begins going for gold.
I couldn't get through the wet sections to save my life and I decided to load in DrAug's settings and 30 minutes later after several re-loadings of the race to get a different wet track, I achieved a gold time of 5:19.725. I know I left some time out on the track but sub 5 minutes seems a bit daunting...
I donated blood this AM and I am not sure if this was the best thing to do for the rest of the day...I feel a bit dizzy.

I've driven the X1 cars a lot and i believe the X2014 is faster at most tracks, only thing i notice different between them is the X2011 got way better take off out of corners but then the X2014 just becomes faster on the strights, and yes GT5 is cery different to the GT6 X1s but the lsd and suspension could workThey trimmed the wings on the X2014 and increased the power to the fans, so it's more reliant on underbody downforce and can reach the same top speeds with less power. Also, because the X cars use engine power to power the fans (vs the Chapparal 2J, which has its own motor to power the fans), that's why you see the X2014 have the least power. Whereas the X2011 is the opposite: it makes the wings bigger and reduces the power to the fans, to increase engine power as much as possible.
As a result the X2014 is the easiest and most consistent to drive (because downforce from fans is always constant). The top speed is equivalent to the X2011. However, the X2011 still wins in terms of acceleration. Due to the nature of the track at Sierra not having a lot of stop-start sections, the X2011 never gets a chance to show its strength and the drivability of the X2014 wins.
They changed the X cars from GT5 to GT6 and they are a bit trickier to drive now, so setup wise it might not transfer exactly. On most tracks the X2011 should still be the fastest. It's just the nature of the track at Sierra just favours the ease of X2014 more.

Before the X2014 came out the X2011 i remember setting a lap at Bathurst 1:05.2 then the X2014 came out and the X2011 was patched and i could then only do 1:08s as when i tryed X2014 it did 1:07s, i've only driven X1s at full downforce and using same setup, I also remember a patch in GT5 that slowed down the Red Bulls it was 30kp/h slowed on full downforce but low downforce was faster than before and before that patch I could do 3:10s in the X2011 in GT5 at nurburgring then when that patch come out I was 10 seconds slowerX2011 better take off is due to it having 400 HP more.
IIRC with minimum downforce X2011 has higher top speed, with maximum downforce X2014 has higher top speed. So yes, assuming max downforce is the way to go for Sierra, the X2014 will be faster.
I expected the X2011 to be faster at first because it is significantly faster at Nordschleife. This guy got 3.38.xxx with X2014 and 3.25.xxx with X2011 (look at video description).

I take a similar approach to these "over the top" events using slightly "bigger picture" objectives.
1. Complete 1 clean lap at whatever time it takes me.
2. Do laps while increasing pace until I get Bronze 6:00.000
3. " " until I get Silver 5:35.000
4. " " until I get Gold 5:25.000
I thought being a redbull fan i would like this but once i seen the track i didn't even try it
I actually love it other than two things. 1. Automatic restarts due to penalty have to go in the future. 2. If they are going to include rain then have it consistant every time. If one is unlucky enough to get the heavy rain every time they log on they can't get a fair crack at their best run time.If anyone is going to hate on this seasonal, Blame me since I guess I suggested it.
6.42 on a DS3 after 2 hours, I now have sore numb fingers and my hand is shaking a bit !
. If i was 20 years younger I think I could do it but my reactions are just not quick enough any more. Think i could scrape a bronze If I gave it another 4 hours ! I drive using bunper view and its just way to hectic driving this course at 200 mph round corners using that view.
