[nascarlemanslmp]

I can't upload the times this week
But I will try my classic challange. This is gonna be fun wrx vs evo. Theres been some rally events in my country recently. Alot of cars were featured from modified toyota starlets to wrx's. I have also been trying different rally cars in time trial mode. Good luck

 

[zipiol]

EVO pic is not active anymore ;p

 

[Petrolhead1]

Really looking forward to this one

 

[NoirAntares]

Grand Canyon! Oh yeah, I'm so excited to start on this one now! 👍

 

[Valencianista]

I'm pretty good with the dirt/snow tracks, so maybe it's my week. But first I'll have to buy these cars.

 

[NoirAntares]

Did two laps with both cars just for fun

(Only 0.00 rear toe tuned)
Evo III ~ 2'59.9xx
Impreza ~ 2'59.2xx

It's obvious this week's gonna be a great experiment for rally tuning set ups 👍

Cool, I had a quick go on the bus this morning and managed 3'00.xxx with the Evo III, so at least I'm in the right area!

 

[NoirAntares]

There's actually a lot of room for improvement here, I'd say with more practice on the track a time around the low 2'58 range is possible, and if you're lucky with the tuning (which really needs a ton of luck to it ) a time of at least 2'56 is possible.

 

[danielmacgregor]

Yes, definitely room for improvement. It was quite sunny so I could hardly see my screen! I'll try again on my lunch and see how I get on.

 

[danielmacgregor]

Just done a 1'57.xxx with the EVO and there is definitely room for more improvement

 

[NoirAntares]

Didn't you mean 2'57?

 

[danielmacgregor]

Didn't you mean 2'57?

No, I was just really quick

 

[Petrolhead1]

I DON'T HAVE THESE CARS!!!

 

[Detroitbb]

This challenge is active!

 

[zipiol]

impreza - 3mins beaten by 1-2/100s xD
lancer - 3:02.xxx

 

[danielmacgregor]

I DON'T HAVE THESE CARS!!!

I've only got the EVO at the moment

I'm on day 10 and I think I'll be able to get the Impreza at day 47

You can skip days by entering into a race (you don't actually have to see the car on the track; just the menu directly before that) and then backing out. Do it once more and you've now skipped two days and a new group of auto manufacturers will be available.

👍

Thanks, I did that last night. I was hoping that the list of manufacturers/days was correct because I had to skip to day 47. Luckily it was so, I've got the Impreza now!

👍

 

[NoirAntares]

Started playing around with the settings for both cars and got the following times:

GC8 ~ 2'52.9xx
Evo 3 ~ 2'53.7xx

I'm comfortable on the settings with the Impreza, though I still need to do something about the understeer on the Evo.

 

[red ice]

lol!! another Initial D face-off,
Hoping to recover and get back to work , and try to find a friend with a psp.
Good Luck guys!

There he is! WTAC's own Rally Specialist, red ice!

As always, I'm hoping for your rapid recovery and also, I'm hoping that we get to see you run this week's challenge, rally tracks are your forte, after all. 👍

 

[red ice]

lol! I need to work first... I have no more money... joke!!!
Hospital is free but check ups and medicines are mine. Still, I'm thankful to have the benefit of freebies from the government.

Colin McRae (R.I.P) vs Tommi Makinen
let's see who's BOSS!

Wow, I managed a 2'53.xxx with the Impreza, but cannot get the EVO III below 2'55.xxx at the moment!

Here are my current times:


Impreza (2'51.633)

Lancer (2'52.135)

 

[Petrolhead1]

First time for the Evo 3: 2'55.834

I'll try and improve on that later today, but still haven't started on the Impreza

 

[NoirAntares]

Did a few more laps to test my current settings, and got better times

Evo 3 ~ 2'51.3xx
Impreza ~ 2'51.2xx

Now that I look at it, the Impreza's more of a wild gun than the Evolution. The earlier understeer I complained about with the Evo turned out to be in part of my driving and my unfamiliarity with the track, it only took enough practice to get better times.
I think only a few ticks and I'd get the settings I'd feel comfortable with, but I'll certainly be handling both cars differently.

Wow, those are good times! 👍

I haven't had a really good go yet, so I'll give it a go tonight!

[zipiol]

I can't believe that I am the first one who wanted this...
This is soooo hard to make even one clean lap... :/

I'll make submission with my 3' times today after work...
I'd rather start to getting comfortable with shelbys than go back on dirt...
