How fast can you lap Trial Mountain?

[jeffgoddin]

So, this is what i got now. I can go under 1:03 if i clean the lap. I lost almost a second just in the sector 4 against my best sector time.

When I was doing tons of in depth comparos with GT2, when I wanted to be most precise in determining a car's potential on a given track in a given configuration, I would watch the replays and record the sector times in a spreadsheet and then sum the fastest passes through each sector to get a theoretical best lap time. This was often half a second faster than my best single lap time after 10 or so laps. It also makes for a good challenge. Find the theoretical best lap after 10 laps, and then keep running until you can beat that time on a single lap. When you do, the run will be so clean it'll feel great afterwards.

I ran my best hybrid just to test it.

...Somehow it grips to the ground... most of the time AND is fast in the straights....

That is ground effect, even normal Escudo has it.

When i was hot lapping the other day at certain points when i was really pushing, i felt like i was driving F1 V10 from 2004 season. You know, almost physical like real thing

My experience tells me, Jeff, i have to run at least 20 laps to really be used up to the setup.
I have now spreadsheet, so i can revert any changes.
