Lol, have a beer on me mate

 

[NekoPufferPPP]

After 2 hours of cutting corners and spinning out...

1:37.140

Stable setup, T150.

This was proper hell.

 

[Outspacer]

Switched to 'Stable' setup as well, was only having a problem with spinning at the hairpin after that. The other really tricky bit for me is keeping it steady through the last two corners - takes ages to recover if it gets squirrely coming down the hill into that part, lost a few laps like that!

Overall though, I quite like this combo

1:36.960

 

[HammyMansell]

Here are the results of the PCARS 2 TT in the Ferrari F50 GT at Imola....


@Outspacer 1:36.960

@NekoPufferPPP 1:37.140

@speedy 10 1.37.780

@Rosinbag1 1:52.260


Well done to those of you that had a go, and good job from Outspacer this time around to get the win!!

The next PCARS2 CRAP TT starts next Monday, the 2nd of December, see you then!

 

[Georgeagea]

I'll try to give this a go although it ended. I just like to see where I sit and benchmark myself

 

[Georgeagea]

Got a 1:38.3 I think after like 10 laps. @Outspacer time is great. Really fast. The car sound and behavior are awesome though.

Thanks mate! I'm not sure how long I spent on it though - first try (with loose) was probably about 10 laps and only got me 1:38.6. Second try was interrupted by Valve Index update, resetting sound output, and fiddling with SS settings... perhaps an hour or so of actual driving. I suspect that doing the run with loose first helped even after switching to stable! Quite a few kerbs can be used which gains a good bit of time through the first few corners, all the way to the hairpin in fact.

 

[HammyMansell]

@Outspacer mate, I've just remembered, you need to pick a combo for the next PCARS 2 TT......Let me know and I'll run it from Monday!

 

[HammyMansell]

The new CRAP PCARS 2 TT is:

The BAC Mono At Barcelona Club Circuit!!!
​

Conditions:

To be done in “Time Trial” mode using stock setup on "loose", "Stable" or "OEM" (If available). (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 driver aids if you wish! Post an in game screen shot of your time and post it here for it to count, Good luck!!

This TT will end next Sunday night, the 8th of December.

 

[Outspacer]

Any complaints can be sent my way! I don't think we've done either the Mono or Barcelona Club before, and on a very quick recce it seemed like they each have a little bit of challenge in them to get the best times, without being PITA difficult. Hopefully fun, and close times

 

[NekoPufferPPP]

The times so far aren't the fastest (we can do better! ), and there's only 20-or-so lap times in total.

0:42.497

Stable setup, controller.

Currently 1st place.

Got a faster run with the loose setup:

0:42.363

 

[gregc]

Just had a few sighters then a quick run at it, this is a fun little layout and a fun little car

Definitely Loose for this one, gave OEM a try and that's biased towards entertainment more than laptime I'd say

 

[gregc]

Had a bit more of a go at it, and for my starter this week it's a 42.752, gamepads ruling this LB (for now lol)

 

[Outspacer]

When pushed, the Mono gets pretty lively... chilling out a bit helped

42.420

 

[Outspacer]

The wheel is back on top... for the moment! I might get a little bit more with another try, but probably not much. Shame the tyres go off so quickly - still a lot of restarting even though it's a short course.

42.321

Nigel 'Hardon Hammy' Mansell ... errr....

Yeah, come on consolers, give it a spin 💡

 

[gregc]

This combo got upgraded from 'fun' to '****ing fantastic'

Really enjoying this one, and three of us within a tenth is nice and close for now - will definitely be having another run at this! New time - 42.379.

 

[HammyMansell]

A time from @nosoks from earlier in the week via Fartybonk, I forgot to post it before now.

43.996!

Get any final times in fellas, this TT ends tomorrow!

 

[gregc]

I love this car and this track.

42.273 for me now, there's a 41.something in there but putting the lap together is hard - one of those tracks that's easy to learn, but could take quite some time to master. Almost up there with Knockhill for me, and that is high praise!

And a little vid...

 

[gregc]

Well, I knew there was a 41 there if I could find it, and only just.... Now on a 41.925, and that is probably me done for this one. Huge fun to drive, good choice @Outspacer 👍

 

[Outspacer]

@gregc - Just about to have another go, have to say I like this little track a lot but I love your lap Really smooth, unlike my over-driven ham-fistedness When I did the sighter to choose a track (already fancied driving the Mono somewhere) I thought the second half of it had a certain something and challenged the Mono to bring its best

Thanks man, very kind 👍. The second half of the lap is a proper challenge but with a really nice flow if you find it. Which took a lot of laps and not a little luck! Funny thing is I've never liked the Barcelona GP track, but this little bit of it is an absolute gem.

Have a good run - but not too good

 

[Outspacer]

Nailed it!

41.974

 

[HammyMansell]

Great times fellas, and yeah it's a fun little track in the road cars, the old Escort is a lot of fun there too!!

Results up a little later!

Well done to those of you that had a go, very close, but greg just snuck it, well done mate! The next PCARS 2 CRAP TT will start next Monday, the 16th of December, see you then!

@gregc, you choose the combo for the next TT please mate, let me know in a PM please bud!

 

[gregc]

Thinking about tbe next combo, a question for everyone - do we all have the DLC packs? There's a combo that I quite fancy but needs the Porsche pack specifically...
