Only just managed to get a very short attempt at this one as I've been uber busy this past week and I had a grass kart race meeting this weekend. I like the Atom - it handles very much like my grass kart in slippery conditions and you need be quite aggresive with your counter-steer to wrestle it around the corners - great fun. :D
Unfortunately I didn't get enough time with this combo to nail down all the sections so my time is sub-par this round.

EDIT: Was never gonna match that time of @CSL_GoTp however. :bowdown:
 
Event 1 (SPRINT) is LIVE!


You should of all had a little bit of practice with this sweet handling car ( :crazy: )!..At least it was in the dry:gtpflag:... So to keep things simple on this Season of running 2 events together, We decided on having the Sprint the same as the Time Trials the idea being so you should be able to put in a faster time having learnt the track corners, breaking points of the car etc.

I do admit this Atom even trying to set a time was hard work! (So ignore my times it is just there to forward the Challenge (pheew)as I won't be in the Season and concentrating on the Admin side with Brend) ;)

Week 1:
The Kobago Project
Car - Ariel Atom 500 V8
Location - Kobago
Time - Lapse x1
Cloud Cover - Stormy

I have forwarded it on to all who have added me so far (I think that covers everyone on this thread), If anyone hasn't received the Challenge or wants to join in the Sprint Season just add me on PSN : wildbill1372 or put a note on this page.👍

Good Luck ... :cheers:

p.s @Nato_777 Your tips worked ;) but ended up in the wall :lol:
 
Set a new target time at 0:17.045. Still a few tenths in it for me, but it's hard work with this little bugger. :embarrassed:

Don't know about being quicker because of the knowledge gained from the time trial...on the plus side though, my swearing will reach titanic proportions 🤬 🤬 :lol:
 
@KennyL74 Welcome to GTP :gtpflag:- I will add you later and send you the challenge if anyone hasn't sent it yet..Great pic 👍..Did you know there is a whole page of threads for pictures (1000's!) on there ..Click here >>> https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/board/dc-photomode.367/..Remember though that is a massive full size file, GTP you can upload and resize to the Max 800X450PX on the post or link it smaller etc (see OP on photo threads) or they have been known to be deleted .👍;)

Edit: Sorry just seen you found that thread already.. Should have checked that first! :sly:

Guys, I need a favor. Currently my room is getting a make-over from head-to-toe and everything has been unplugged...PS4 included. Could someone who took part in last week's time trial please send me a photo of the results in a private DM so I can log them in the sheet? If Evo would hurry up with the companion app this wouldn't be a problem! :lol:
 
Okay, bad news guys...I haven't received the results from Week 1 so unfortunately it will be regarded as a 'pre-season' event...those who hate the Atom can rejoice. Starting from next week we can begin the time trial series again...results from Torque's Sprint will be posted in due time.

Apologies once again, I didn't realize the timing of my room getting completely redone would interfere with my abilities to track the results. I hope I can be forgiven for my incompetence.
 
While awaiting @Brend and @torque99 to pull their fingers out regarding the tardiness ( joking guys ) :P I been lovin the Kyle reverse in time trial, never realised quite how good this track is until I took the AMG GT3 around it for the last release EVO gave us in GT Duel, so I've now set 2 world records and currently having a great battle to get a 3rd one with the Ferrari LaFerrari..currently in 3rd but I fear as the beer takes hold I will have to wait another day :cheers::lol:
 
@Pearl Jam As it is now in the season I have to wait for a week to pass and results before I can send another which does seem a while (every other week) after sending so many out before..I think If I send a few fun challenges out while this season is on 1/ @Brend wouldn't thank me too much and 2/ It would get very complicated for everyone knowing what is counted for the season etc..So I will wait until this season is over then start sending the sprints or TTs again more regular if you guys haven't had enough by then!..Should be just in time for the new Tracks/DLC ;) 👍

Ahaha, I jest my friend..I realise what a great job you and @Brend do..it's very much appreciated :cheers:
 
:sly: I know you jest and me too ;) The wording came out more serious than I thought reading it back this morning but you know what I mean ;)👍
 
Okay, so good news...the results for Week 1 were gratefully provided to me by @nato777, so I can add this to the overall leader-board. Week 2's event will go live tonight, and the leader-board will be updated in due course. Once again, apologies for the delay. It has been a hectic few weeks for myself!

Cheers @Brend just got it.:gtpflag:
 
WEEK 2:
Beetlejuice
Car - Volkswagen Beetle GSR
Location - Maplewood Raceway
Time Lapse - x1
Cloud Cover - Overcast
Precipitation - Heavy Precipitation
Time - 05:30
Car Class - Hot Hatch
​
This week we visit rainy Canada for a dreary drive on one of Driveclub's most difficult circuit based tracks. The VW Bug is pretty under-appreciated in its class as it is one of the weaker cars overall, however...its understated cornering ability will make for a lovely drive in the early morning hours.
