I bloody love this car. Apart from anything else, it sounds epic.

Very early time, done after enough beers to put me well into DUI territory - 1:53.947. Not fast, but I couldn't resist having a run at this one before calling it a night

Well done mate....There's an early benchmark for us!!

 

[gregc]

A little better - still a few scrappy bits, but just 4 tenths or so off the current PC record now. 1:51.002

And a little vid...

Thanks mate 👍 - I'm fully expecting you alien types to get into the 49's now

It's one hell of an intense lap in VR, over the top and down through the dipper is just awesome (when you get it right.....)

No pressure then lol!

I'd love to try VR...And on an "up and down" course like Mount Panorama, it must be even more spectacular!

Anywhere with big elevation changes is great in VR - you get a real sense of how steep some of the inclines are that just isn't there on a flat screen. It's almost impossible to describe, but the first time I went round the Nordschleife in VR I was knocked out - I'd never realised before just how steep some of the sections are. Mt. Panorama doubles down on the whole experience because of the narrowness and walls on the mountain section adding to the elevation. It's an absolute rush in something as fast as a Group C car.

My respect and admration for those who race for real on tracks like this goes up every time I start pushing for a laptime - the margins are so fine, and these guys do it at the limit for lap after lap for 12 hours...

 

[gregc]

Definitely expecting a 49 from someone now, new PC record for me (until @Outspacer gets involved at least ) - 1:50.452

 

[knukken]

I did a few laps yesterday. Forgot to upload pic but should be on the leaderboard @HammyMansell

Nice video!! A quick question.. are you running the game on Xbox? I note BIG differences on game graphics. I run it on ps4 fat and graphics look poor.

 

[gregc]

No, I'm in VR on PC

 

[speedy10]

No, I'm in VR on PC

Makes sense.. graphics on pc are much better than ps4. Thanks for your reply

Just seen that on the PC leaderboard - there's someone else inside a tenth of my time too

It's most likely going to be my final time so I guess I just get to sit back and see where I end up now...

 

[HammyMansell]

I just had a go in the Big Cat, and wow!!

1:50.020 to start, a TT all about how brave you can be over the mountain, and into Skyline and The Esses......What fun!!! I'll be going again just for the hell of it lol!

A video, outboard of the lap, what speed!!

 

[doblocruiser]

Not going to make this one. Haven't got access to the PS4 this week.

 

[HammyMansell]

Here are some more times via the in game leaderboard:

@knukken on a 1:49.984, @hasslemoff on a 1:50.190, @speedy10 (Maty1989_arg) on a 1:54.745, @nosoks on a 1:56.407, and @SpaceBreed )pyromaniak666) on a 2:02.300.....How close for the top 3!!!!!! Expect those times to change as the week goes on!!

That's a pity @doblocruiser.... Hope to see you for the next AC TT! Don't forget to have a go guys!!

 

[gregc]

Nice going guys - some cracking times. And I'm not a million miles away from the pace, for now at least

 

[knukken]

@HammyMansell Thanks for posting my time mate 👍

I have a feeling you're going to be well into the '49s mate.....

 

[HammyMansell]

Had another go

1:49.717.....I reckon there's still a bit more there, so much fun when you get it right!

A rollercoaster!!

Definitely you´re an ALIEN !!!
Yesterday I had some free time, and ran some laps. The best that I could do was 1:54... Really I don´t know where I can find more seconds.

You have to brake as late as possible man, and the car has a lot of grip, more than you think, as you can see in my video, so you can really push around those corners. Push the car a bit more to learn its limits.

I saw your post about what F1 game to get on another thread too Speedy...Go for 2018, much better than 2017, and it has the Halos too!
