The Online Rankings make interesting reading. If you scan the top 100 ranked players in this event, roughly how many of them would have an American flag against them? Just take a guess.
The answer is 2.
9 from the UK, 5 from Australia. Doesn't that seem just a little out of proportion?

Not that this is the only factor but I would venture a guess that this is due to the popularity of racing in those countries as opposed to the US. This also doesn't discount any times posted from those countries.

The car understeers at high speeds like crazy.
I only did ONE valid lap, with a 2:05.1xx. After that I spent like 2 hours trying to get another lap without touching one of the barries. I hate that track.
If invalid times count, without any shortcuts, I should've gotten 2:02.xxx

All off, ABS 1. DS3.

Doesn't feel much different to drive the normal version, just faster everywhere.
I still have yet to actually have the car as I keep hitting the wall, but when I do, it will be the sliver/green combo to match my other one.

Loved the mountain always! it was fun only found the nose to be jumping sideways on bumps and had to reposition my lines in order to avoid them as much as i can.
late turn in at the 90 degree corners is always rewarding here and a good flow at the mountain section puts a smile on your face, i always tend to hold my breath heading to forest elbow
Am i the only to find the car extremely twitchy under braking after the sweeper right following the back straight it was a challenge for me to draw a good line. managed low 58's.

Love the car and love the track just wish I could have a go at it with my new Fanatec CSS SQ shifter using clutch, my old fanatec H shifter broke awhile back (piece of junk even when it was new) so I'm revisiting races using clutch again and damm it's brought new life back into the game for me, just wish I could use it with every car.

55 laps i'm still all red, car i dont know + track I don't know = miseryI'll get it I've had sever red laps at 2:03 I just nicked a corner or slide a tad to much and pop goes the flag.
Just try starting out slow, kinda like a leisurely drive around the track and then gradually pick up your speed the more you get comfortable with the track. So many people try to set the world on fire with a quick lap time right off the bat and wonder why they can't get a clean lap. You start out slow, develop good habits by hitting all the apexes and establishing your braking points and getting the right line, then you can work on your speed. Bad habits are developed when you just try to go in with guns a blazin', that's not the correct way to learn the track. Remember, slow and steady wins the race. 👍

@GTP_CargoRatt very true, I have been doing so as if late, I seen to get over confident around the down hill section and tap a wall or cook a corner, I'm getting further with every session I'll get it all together, I just to settle my self down lol.

You can be assured that the Top100 in any TimeTrials isnt the actuall Top 100 in the World, i know a few drivers who are very fast who are not intrested in TimeTrials & to be fair Europe would be faster Overall.

So if I'm not seeing the top 100 in the world, what am I seeing? (I'm in the USA)). Also, why would the European times be better than the rest of the world?

You are seeing the Top 100 people who have entered the TimeTrial not a true reflection, If you want
to see a better reflection of the Top 100 then look at the times on
GTAcademy, then look on the TimeTrial an see how many have entered compared to the
Academy, i am not sure why European Times are faster, i guess
Europe is home of Motoracing??
Edit: Would just like to say i am a great fan of Nascar an all American Motorsport an have great respect for all drivers, so this comment has nothing to do with USA VS Europe, i have a great friend who just races an does not do time trials who i think is one of the fastest guys i have ever seen, it is a shame that some guys who remain (silent) do not take some credit.

i still find it kind of sad that the leaders all use Skid Recovery Force..I'm not sure if its more realistic or just gives you more grib..or?? i did a few laps without SRF, and i got a 1'59 then i added it and got into the 1'57s..huge difference. but hey i cant complain the car is awesome and bathurst is a great track! Seasonals are always great!

Sorry I did not explain well.(I'm translating my posts)
I mean:If you know who has supplanted his name ..You say it in the forum...(To help Mixi)

Dont be sorry, i understand why you have said & the feeling you have is the same as Mixi's this is why he feels sad, TRL is a Time
Trial Team we do not want this in are Team or TimeTrials we also understand that Mixi may have Cheated in the past an this is
never good but we believe in TRL that he (Mixi) has learned, he is very happy in TRL & an has messaged me an told me how much he very happy, i believe
that in helping people sometimes you can get the best out of them, you may say he has cheated in the past an i understand, but with
the confidence i have in him, he does not need to cheat, when you are near the Top the feeling of becoming 1st is greater than
anything an sometimes people make mistakes, i am 100percent against cheaters but when i talk to people i can tell how sorry it is for them, me myself put Mixi's name forward because he has always asked for setup's to help himself
improve, he has said to me that he cant make 1st but all he wants
is Top10 to prove himself for himself. We dont need or want the Top10 in the world, we just want people who have that hunger that
belief to improve themselves.
I hope that i make things clear
Long Story short, it is better to
help someone than make them worse.
Sorry i didnt answer your question, the reason why i have not said the names involved is because i dont want to cause any trouble, nothing can change what has happend but people can influence the outcome, an all we want is peace, Mixi wanted me to message doodle to let him know that its not him making these accounts.

If srf was a great equalizer that people complain it is, everyone would be with in a second of each other.
It's a not replacement for skill, it's a aid to help less skilled players or people playing for the fun of driving complete the game.
PD could very easily set the gold bar so low/high that only the best would make it, but they don't because they don't want to alienate the majority of the player base.
The license tests and special events show that PD is well aware of what SRF can do to times.
