Nice.. 👍

BB 5/5, ABS 1, TCS 0


No, TCS slows you down... pretty much a universal constant. High ABS does help a bit with this combo but not to stop faster, it just makes trail braking into the 2 Lesmo corners and Ascari a bit easier.

A high ABS setting allows for quicker stopping and decreased stopping distance in the License Tests, so I assumed they'd benefit here too.

I'll have to take some samples....

A few more laps in and improved by .9 at the line. Stock BB settings at the moment. Will experiment now.

Boy I sure miss that tame, underpowered, grippy Audi S1 all of a sudden. Goodbye frying pan, hello fire!
But seriously, I really am starting to love this combo. Finally got a cleanish lap, still got a long way to go.

Up .3 at the line. Haven't watched Chris' t1 video, might have to check it out after reading Gayle's comment about the 150 marker, sounds like black magic to me.

I know its only the first day but this lap might be tough to beat.

Lost two tenths in the first sector. Stupid chicane. That's enough for tonight.

Last splits for the day:

27.556
1'02.956

Slowly getting the hang of this beast, the light rear end is actually helpful if you get it going light in the right direction

Damn sorry for the double post but I just improved again. Last splits I was up .350, this lap I was up a further .492:

How NOT to do it ...

This vid reminds me that I have always wanted to, for the longest time, start a thread that shows your best saves that are of the amazing variety. They have to of course be saves that would still qualify for submittal to the WRS within the rules even though you would never hit the times that would be part of something anyone would submit of course. I know that I have had some real head shakers that I have had slung out and stayed on track and could have submitted. This video would not have been submittable of course but I'm sure was a pucker maker

 

[E RaK]

Up by .35 at T2, but even at the line. HMM

About to go throw this around Monza:

Tuxedo black makes everything better.

Great times up already, awesome combo Chris!

 

[billyjoebobx]

I'm down 2 tenths at T1, up 1 tenth at T2, and half a second quicker at the finish.

Tried this yesterday, its quite the handfull!!


Are we gonna race this stock next week??

Don't know i f i can handle (enjoy) it for an entire race.

 

[pilmat]

2,000,250 later, I'll give her a go

If I post splits, will Fetchy take 'em after I get seeded in the registry, or should I wait until I'm in?

 

[Flaren89]

Bought the car and resisted on putting the chassis optimization on it... Today I gave it a try:

- T1: 0:27.534
- T2: 1:01.884

In T3 I've taken the Ascari in a very strange manner... Pof...
In next days I'll give it another try...

 

[Deton]

Ugh, not only I'm struggling to learn the car, but now it seems I have to learn to use the stick shifter too, as my right paddle shifter kinda went dead on me. Been using only the paddle shifters so far, as I seem to be terrible at turning the wheel with just one hand, the DFGT with it's little plastic (?) motors is just plain beating my lefty in arm wrestling.

It's only been one full week of WRS' and my equipment is already starting to fall apart. Yesterday my "I made it myself and saved money" -mentality wheelstand just collapsed and is now held together by a hefty amount of duct tape, and now the paddle. It's quite funny and sad at the same time. I wonder if I can fix the shifter with duct tape too?

Hopefully my bad luck ends here and at least the wheel will survive a couple more weekly time trials *knocks on the wooden wheelstand, hoping it doesn't fall apart in the process*, or I might find myself in a bad situation with no equipment, nor money to buy new ones.

 

[Severn]

Damn... thought I'd get started early on this one and post my 27.7 and 102.8 splits but Fetchy just informed me that I forgot to set Grip Red to Real 🤬

 

[nursemorph]

After a paltry 100 miles I have to admit defeat with this car....can't even get close to the pathetic time I set yesterday. With TCS 5 I still can't control it! I hope we have a slightly easier car next week....I love Monza but hate the FXX. Good luck to everyone, hope you can all manage decent times 👍

 

[Nemo Niente]

Which Monza is it, with or without chicanes?

 

[iainoflo85]

Normal Monza.

 

[Nemo Niente]

Normal Monza.

Thanks 👍

 

[DigitalBaka]

Pretty much driving this exactly as Matt laid out, so at least I seem to have that part down so far.

P.S. Further to the pink colour discussion, while the car's pinkishness may not help me handle it any better, it does look pretty in pink, I have to admit :

Sorry, but I have yet to find any color in which this car does not look fugly. But I don't like the Enzo to begin with. @Gravitron 's black one approaches decent though...

 

[Racingworld68]

I must admit, i do like Lucas his colour choice, but ast digital said, need something else, so came up with this :

And my first splits aswell :

28.443
1'03.460

Only done 10 laps so still a long way to go ....
