Good to be back haha. My left foot seems to have lost some stamina after not left foot braking for a while

Better in sectors 1 and 2, but messed up the final turn. So many missed apexes, so little time

Remember to shift this thing early gents. The power drops off drastically at high RPM.

From my practice so far, I don't thinking shifting early is a good idea; however, staying in a higher gear for some turns is way better.

Interesting. Agreed in terms of staying in a higher gear.

@8l23ub you have two typos in your current splits - & , instead of a decimal point.

Took a big chunk of time off at the line. Plenty of time left to find.

Just a heads up that the latest update has changed the handling behaviour of the cars apparently, don't know how it'll affect times

Thanks for the heads up. Let's hope it's nothing too noticeable.

I am .9 seconds off my pace after the update

@JamCar0ne @_r_p_m_ @BGCaligula @GTP_Guido @Pigems - already submitted a time

@Bass Addict @roamer2629 @8l23ub @MikeyLCR @geeTeye @SuperMegaGeek @Pigpin13 @oldguy58 - have splits on the board

NOTICE OF CHANGE​

WE HAVE CHANGED THE REAR TIRES FOR THIS EVENT:
Tires: Sport Soft (front) / Sport Medium (rear)

Due to the recent update we have found that lap times are slower so we are forced to change a verifiable parameter to force everyone to re-run.

Apologies for the inconvenience but PD likes to throw us curveballs.

 

[Pigems]

Ok cool, so all previous times are now void?

 

[Gravitron]

@routergod24 ugh sorry man.

Yes

 

[routergod24]

@routergod24 ugh sorry man.


Yes

No worries.

 

[Pigems]

@routergod24 ugh sorry man.


Yes

Ok cool, TYVM for the info.

Good Luck Everyone!

 

[BGCaligula]

Man! What a difference this update makes. Took it for a spin. Feels like a different car . My first sector is still weak. That hasn't changed.

[BGCaligula]

Before I submit. Would this be judged as on or off in your opinion? Fighting for every tenth here. The struggle is real!

The rear left is still perched on the asphalt and never drops into the dirt.

EDIT: Please ignore this post. I managed to beat the time. Just leaving it up for reference.

Interesting... I thought if the car touched grass then it would be automatically disqualified? Thrown out dozens of tracks because I've clipped grass or dirt...

At least two wheels should be in contact with what's determined as track at all times. Touching the grass is fine.

This changes things a lot! For me at least.
