You have 2 weeks to set a time 2clicks. The event will show up and expire by itself. Must be largely enough time to give it a gentle go 👍

 

[LeGeNd-1]

I'm in, you have my PSN already

Doblo being the main organiser you must have advance knowledge and practised on the track combo though I kid, I kid, 3 weeks is more than enough time to set a decent time to negate any early prep. Shame I'll be away for 2 weeks from Monday but I'll make sure to give it a good crack this weekend 👍

I am not such a cheap cheat I've ran the combo a couple of times at low speed to get the conditions right and I never crossed the finish line. I will set a generic easy time friday morning and then send it out 👍

@doblocruiser Thank you for organising this! I forgot how awesome this game was to play, fighting for seconds in those time challenges. I'm very rusty though.

You're welcome. The car handles nice but the track has some nice surprises

Even rusty you'll be fast. Still have nightmares from seeing your ghost popin up in front of me .....

 

[LeGeNd-1]

Just gave it 3 goes yesterday. Still some time left on the table but luxo barges aren't my forte The combo itself is pretty tame though. I was expecting an Atom full grid Legend race at night in full stormy conditions

I thought to make it docile so everyone can enjoy the combo. If I've added all the stormy things with some hyper machine I was afraid many wouldn't even dare

 

[Interstellar9]

Multiple attempts but still around 2 seconds behind.

There is more speed and grip in that car than you might think. It is stable in the corners as well. There are a few twitchy places on that track though.....

 

[Gr4ndy]

I can't manage to get a clean run, it will require some time. As in the first sector I can get up to -0,8 of your time, but then I loose my momentum constantly.

You run with a wheel or controller? I did about 3 runs this morning (wheel) and was surprised by the time. I must admit that I have redone all TT's in the career which removed that 'rust'

 

[Gr4ndy]

For now with a controller, I did some test runs with a wheel and it's much better to control the car, but I don't have a stand yet (so the little ikea table was all around the floor). Going to make DIY one next week probably, as I have car seat from volvo 340 waiting to be used.

Oh wow, it only took you 3 tries to get down to 2:42:xxx? Damn.... It took me like 20 tries at least overall to get under 2:42:xxx

I thought you used a controller when seeing your ghost

A Volvo 340 seat huh, that has been a while I've seen one... If I create a DIY , my wife probably fires me and my PS4 into the garage so I'll stick to cling it on to my dead cheap Ikea desk

 

[Gr4ndy]

@doblocruiser Haha yeah they are quite rare nowadays, unfortunately mine went to the scrapyard last week after 31 years of life.

Some fun with 340 day before scrapyard

Spoiler

Hopefully I can bite some more time with a wheel next week.

 

[OJT6627]

Driveclub event? Yo, sign me up fam

PSN same as my nickname, OJT6627. Sending the request atm @doblocruiser

You sneaky.....

 

[OJT6627]

Had a first few tries. Haven't played the game in a long while

Pretty much perfectly nailed the first sector, but botching some corners on the next two sectors

Still, managed to get under 2:42. I think i can even push it to 2:40.something, but that will take more time than i have today.

Will give it a go tomorrow again. Y'all guys fast @doblocruiser @Gr4ndy

 

[Gr4ndy]

@doblocruiser Man, don't go any lower. I'm on the edge of my capabilities now. xD

The middle sector is killing me, I don't have enough throttle control on the controller.
