Brend and Torque's Weekly Driveclub Competition Series - S2_Week 5: Audi you do? (Sprint)

[OzzyOzborne]

Having fun! Not sure if my hands are...keep it up Brend. Any idea if you will be adding Sprint tracks?

Was fun going back and forth trying to beat you with the P1 I may upload the replay here if that's allowed.

Good battle, 2:50 got me. I think my stomach dropped after you posted that time.

Lol. I thought something happened let's see what happens with the Audi

 

[Brend]

@Gazmati - Sprint events may be included in Season 2 if demand is high enough but I'm afraid for the initial 10 event season they will not appear. 👍

Man, even from the start, I can't keep up with you two. Good job! (one slip on the Hurrugane will cost you seconds)

I'm liking the variety so far. I wonder, @Brend have you made all the puns for the rest of the upcoming tracks?

 

[Brend]

Yup, the details for every event were established right from the get-go.

Sorry for not participating in week 3, I was away on vacation.

It's awkward going from a Hyper to a Hot Hatch, especially on a track that's mainly speed rather than handling. I can knock more time off, whether i'll get everything right in the corner is the question at hand.

If you beat my current time (knowing you, you will have already) then I won't be much competition. Away until the next TT!

 

[ClydeYellow]

I finally manage to take part in a TT, and what's the monster of the week? Audi A1 quattro at Trotternish.

I think I'll be quite content with coming in last with some dignity this week.

I tried it on the first day lol. Got a low 2:40. Up there with @Maxrevv in the 2:38s now

 

[Brend]

This seems to be the most competitive one yet!

Now you're just rubbing it in

 

[ClydeYellow]

2:42.332, that's my last offer. I know I could be at least a second faster if I could get in the zone, but I simply can't.

 

[sems4arsenal]

Starting to get the hang of this, beating Arsenal fan's first sector now and matching in the second, last sector is killing me though.

 

[Timlour]

I'm really feeling this one. I went from 41s to a 2:39.017 within the hour. Getting a good time on this point-to-point involves a lot of corner-cutting, especially in the first and last corners, as well as getting good exits out of most corners.

 

[Brend]

It wasn't a mistake that this track was chosen for a HH event. Its a perfect combo that has shock potential in terms of how much you can better your time.

 

[Brend]

The most successful week yet in regard to competitors ends! Thank you to all other 15 racers who took part.

Hint for tonight's revealed event: Rocket in the Rising Sun

I've realized this for the past several years, but I can't be "fast" in the sense these games encourage; I can't enter a corner amidst a powerslide and be faster - my mind doesn't work that way.

Yeah, I fully appreciate where you are with this. For some reason my mind cannot treat this game as anything other than a simulator, possibly due to the visuals. I can't do half the stuff people do in other arcade style games either.

God damn you @Gazmati . You must've stolen my 1st Place on the last day of that A1 Challenge. I'll get you back for that.

You won't be getting away with that again.

More like EBay than Driveclub

 

[Brend]

After this week I should have an announcement regarding Season 2 since we are at the half-way point of Season 1. I've taken into account feedback I've recieved so S2 will be more ambitious and exciting than S1 if my plans go ahead.

Not trying to build hype or anything...
