CRAP Club PCARS 2 Time Trials - Thanks for taking part everyone, we will return one day!

[HammyMansell]

Here's a time via Fartbonk from Christopher John White (mrcjwhite):

1:22.560!!

I had a quick go yesterday, and got a 1:21.4 or something. I'll be giving it a proper go today or tomorrow, really fun ride around Fiorano!

 

[HammyMansell]

Some more times:

Myself on a 1:21.259, Roger Rios-Matias (MRC_ELCANGRI) on a 1:21.800, @nosoks on a 1:22.180 and @krsht3 on a 1:25.640........Expect the times to improve as we progress!

Indeed, the car (and track) takes a bit of getting used to!

1:20.965

Nice time mate, and yes it's tricky nailing those apexes, and carrying the speed through the corners too!

Ta! It's tricky to know what route to take through the right-left (T2/3), think I've been faster there than on that lap. On the plus side, it puts power down nicely, and doesn't seem to lose much time drifting round the corner just after going over the bridge

1:20.383

Can we change tyres and fuel here? Anything else we can change?

Nope, stock setups only - so choose between Stable or Loose.

Only just had a chance to have a quick run at this (real life plus new Tomb Raider getting in the way...) but wanted to get a time in before it finishes - 1:20.900 is what I've got this time.

Vid to follow....

 

[knukken]

I know what I'm doing wrong and where to drive different but I can't change the way I drive

@nosoks I hope you don't improve

Haha nice one Knukks, and in the Assetto TTs we can change tyres, fuel etc, but more strict here in the realms of PCars!! You have to drive it as it was born!

I'm gonna try again before tomorrow night, i want to get into the 1:20s at least!!

 

[gregc]

Here's my 20.9 - there's plenty more to be had (I'm .6 down on my best S2 apart from anything else...) but that will have to do from me.

 

[knukken]

Slight improvement. Think this is my final time

 

[nosoks]

@nosoks I hope you don't improve

haha
i dunno if I'll get another go

Slip those soks on and pedal away old bean!! haha

Uh-oh, Hamster's gonna get loose! I'm too tired tonight, maybe tomorrow I'll try again but that's pretty close to all I've got for now. The car acts like it's going to kill you, but rarely does... it takes a lot of abuse

 

[knukken]

Anyone else noticed it's only possible to drive Fiorino in Ferrari's?

Licensing restriction apparently - Fiorano is a Ferrari only venue in real life, and the same applies in game

It makes sense but it is a game

 

[gregc]

I agree - but ultimately if Ferrari say no one else can play there that's their decision...

 

[HammyMansell]

Time at the top here from @Georgeagea

1:20.378, very nice time!

A small improvement from me:

1:20:818, I can't get that last, double apex hairpin right, no matter what line, braking point etc I use, a mystery lol!!! And I had problems with the brakes locking up too, tricky, but fun!

Results immanent in the next post!

[nosoks]

nice one boys.. well done.
Also @HammyMansell if you think these brakes were "locky" wait till you get in the Maserati

Haha yeah mate I remember we did this car over a year ago at Silverstone International, more lock ups than good police figures!

 

[Georgeagea]

Time at the top here from @Georgeagea
1:20.378, very nice time!

I was actually at some point 0.5sec down on this time until I, expectedly DUH!, messed it up! I think I could have matched @hasslemoff time!

For some reason I drive this car very well! It's like we click! I won 3 online races in that car and felt like invincible for a second!

Then, of course, reality struck again once I got my ass into a GT3 car and was like 5sec away from the fast guys.... Damn I hate those GT3s!

 

[HammyMansell]

The new PCARS 2 TT is:

The Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta At Cadwell Park!!
​

To be done in “Time Trial” mode using stock setup (if you have a saved setup for this combo, please return it to “default” before trying, as times with the “setup used” symbol will show in the in game timing screen, and won’t be counted!) You can use "loose" or "stable" setup, and driver aids if you wish! Post an in game screenshot of your time and post it here for it to count, Good luck!!

This TT will end next Thursday night, the 27th of September.

 

[HammyMansell]

A quick start to the TT this time round, and a time from @Georgeagea

1:39.341!

 

[gregc]

My opening bid's a 1:39.700...

Fabulous combo this one!

Nice start mate, and yeah Cadwell is like a mini Nordschleife to me, really fun and challenging!!

I'm looking forward to seeing your VR video on this one!

Probably won't be one - I'm away visiting family so game time is limited, VR time probably non-existent. That was a 2D lap lol.

Edit...

Had a chance for another quick run this morning, made a little improvement - now on a 1:39.396

And while there's no VR for me this time round, I'm loving the external replays with this car and track - it's great to see the way the car moves around. This isn't my quickest, but it was a fun little lap with some sideways and three wheel action

 

[General_Edead]

Yours seems painted to the track by comparison to mine....
