How many people do daily rivals on PC? On PS4 my one successful attempt was 2:00.xx which was only good enough for Bronze 2 (from memory). Top times were around 1:45.
Only 141 folks managed to set a time in that particular event on PC, looks like. I was dumb though and was remembering my last lap time, I think; my actual average was a 1:55.923. Oops! Still don't know how they were managing sub-1:50s with all that standing water on the third lap, though; that's some impressive car control.
I have, with remarkably similar times. I think I slightly prefer the Ligier. My problem probably is that I'm not entirely sure where the track limits are so I'm taking it more cautiously than I need to. More aggression needed.
Yeah, there's a few spots where you really need to send it to get a good time on Algarve. Several of the tighter corners work best with a really late apex and later braking than you might think, in order to get a straighter exit line. It's also really easy to over-brake on the first corner, which will cost you a fair bit of time.
I noticed with the ghosts I was racing that most were getting the 10-11 complex a bit wrong, apexing 11 too early and losing a ton of speed on the exit. Turn 14 is also really tricky, with the funky radius changes; if you turn in too early or don't slow down enough (or brake too hard) you won't be able to maximise your speed all the way through the exit and that will destroy your current lap time and the next one as well.
Also, 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, and 15 are all full-throttle corners in those cars; if you're letting off at all there, you've gotten it wrong. 4 is the trickiest; you really need to make sure to get the right line exiting 3, because if you don't hit just the right angle entering 4 you're likely to run wide on the exit at full throttle.
I'll have a look at that later, but is that set in winter too? What with Australia being in the southern hemisphere it's summer there currently.
Yep, it's set to summer, so I guess they are following the "current time of year" pattern.
