F2007 Online/Arcade Time Trial

[sejtur]

I don't get this. Online in the expert event I can get times like in 1:28's quite easily, but in time attack I'm struggeling to get it below the 1:31. In the online event it says N1 tires, so I used them in TT too, but there's no change in times. How is this possible? And the online record is like 1:28.2. It seems like I'm having some settings wrong? I want to get higher on the rankings!

The online event allows R3 tyres doesn't it? And allows you to change the suspension slightly i think.

No, online it's N1 tires! And in arcade the times are thesame, doesn't matter if you race with N1 or S2's. I really don't get this. Somebody please tell me what the deal is?

sorry to the op, just another question related to the F2007 online time trial so as not to start a new thread:

Daytona Superspeedway in an F2007, sometimes I happen to see my current session best lap beaten (like -10 thousands written in blue) but the time is not assigned, it just appears the old Best Lap again as Last Lap, though I can't see any indication on the screen that the new one might have been invalidated by some irregularity. A bit annoying btw

Am I the only one?

I think the F1 car is on tires modeled just for that car, and are mislabeled.

But that doesn't explain why the times are 3 seconds off in the online time trial and the arcade TT...

I believe that the difference is downforce. The online Time Trial allows you to max out the front and rear downforce (150 / 200?), but I think the arcade Time Trial has the stock settings for downforce, which is less.

This is correct. It's the max downforce that makes the difference. I think in arcade they have stock which is about 50/100 or 100/150 or something. So the max downforce makes a huge difference. I have done 26's maybe even 25's last time this event was out but in TT's I can only do 28's. So tyres don't really make a difference.
