[HammyMansell]

i quit in anger

Haha thanks Georges!!

 

[Teamsreth]

Your screenshot is the same time I'm seeing on the leaderboard so I think it's the right one 👍

That's a shame

 

[Teamsreth]

Brilliant advice @Outspacer. I lost time in sector 2 with a gentle entry into the right, but was surprised by my first sector

About 2 tents left for me in s2, but the others are my best.

Oooh, challenge laid down.....

Nice going

 

[Teamsreth]

I'm done @gregc, took me a week to catch you, and I reckon I wouldn't get much further anyway.

It wad a great target, and I only just nipped it! A cracking lap, especially so early in the week! 👍

That's me done too, no improvement here - first sector is killing me tonight. Found a tenth each in S2 & 3 but I'm half a second off in S1. This one has been a lot of fun though, and nice and close in the end too!

[Teamsreth]

Ahh, that's why I was slower! You lot were using the factory livery, I was in the privateer livery.
I probably had a slower car, without all the factory upgrades! No? Is that not how this works

 

[hasslemoff]

Thought it finished today, I need to go back to school to read lol.

Well done all and Hamster for a superb time

Cheers mate, and yes I get the thing about reading.....I seem to like to get @nosoks time wrong each TT.....But what he doesn't know is, @Georgeagea told me to do it wrong.................. Ooppppppppppsssss.....I've just let the Hamster out of the bag!

 

[nosoks]

hmm..... still no HAHA button

 

[HammyMansell]

The new CRAP PCARS 2 TT is:

The Ford Escort Mk1 RS1600 Racing At Bannochbrae!!!!!!!​

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. This TT will end on Friday, the 14th of December, Good luck!!

 

[gregc]

This one will be fun

Love the Escort, just need to learn Bannochbrae...

It's a great car to learn Bannochbrae in mate, not too fast, but great, sliding fun!

 

[nosoks]

haven't tried the racing model but the road version is pure fun

 

[Slapped]

This was the chav car to have before chavs even existed

 

[nosoks]

i wanted one back then, but the sim version will have to do. This is the most fun I've had in a pCars tt
kickin off with 2:43.754

 

[Slapped]

No time yet, but here's a dangle for your entertainment

Sweet little car, best enjoyed loose IMO.

 

[gregc]

This is so much fun

But you know that feeling - you're starting to understand the track, you're a couple of tenths off your best lap in the first sector, you look at the split timer to see that you're gaining time. And then....

[hasslemoff]

I have a lap time quicker than what the escort can do so I've got no way of proving the cars not tuned but I had a go, love the car and the track but didn't has much fun in the car on this track .

2:36.817 with a good chunk left.

 

[gregc]

@hasslemoff as always fella, thanks for the video - couple of places where I now know I was much slower than necessary... 👍

Don't think I'm going any faster than this tonight, and it's looking like a busy week so this may well be me done for this one - 2:38.724. Loving this combo - sooo much fun. And Loose is definitely the way forward

 

[nosoks]

something that was explained to me in another group is that the stable setup on MOST cars invokes understeer so i been trying to stick to loose these days
Nice times boys, I'll be giving chase again but off to the BusDodgerRing this week, hopefully home on Turdsday so can get back to it

If my memory serves from WMD stable is aimed at pad users & beginners, and is indeed generally on the understeery side. I find in general that for the slower cars loose is better for me on the pad, but for anything aero dependent I prefer stable - it all gets just a bit too twitchy for me otherwise. For wheel users I'd expect it to be loose (or maybe OEM on road cars) all the way.

 

[nosoks]

we should do some OEM sometime
and a slight improvement to 2:42.562
of course having watched @hasslemoff s lap i can now go much more fasterer

 

[knukken]

This is definitely a TT for @Eyeseeh50 I hope to give it a try tomorrow evening

 

[Slapped]

This is Boris and Bertha, a lovely young couple I bumped into in sector 2 I think.

Well I would have bumped into them but fortunately for them there was a fence in the way.

Anyway they offered me the loan of their vehicle, bless them - you can see it in the background. They said it would probably suit my driving style better as it was more suitable for off road use.

You meet the most wonderful and helpful of people in the countryside, don't you?

I always run loose setup in TT's, no matter the car as the turn in is a lot better and race cars generally run with lower down force, but will switch between loose and stable when in a race depending on car and track.

and on a side note, as you enter the village, right behind the Bannochbrae sign, that house is almost identical to my Granny's house
