Michelin Alpin Time Trial Challenge Offers VIP Trip to the GT World Series Finals

[Gorefast]

Tried the Michelin TT

Nothing else to declare. Not even attempting bronze or even a valid lap.

I go for one single valid lap to get a car with special livery. Hopefully there is no minimum speed given as in ACC...

To save me a job in the snow, when you get the special livery can you save it as a style and share it in the show case so I can just download it rather than drive in the snow 😝

Thank you in advance for taking one for the team 😉

I'm not sure you can do that - it's the same as downloading someone else's livery and then trying to share that: I don't think you can.

I hope you don't need a valid lap to get the car.

I know but there isn't a joke in that

LOL. Okay, fair. Sarcasm sometimes struggles to seep through in text.

And this morning I had a chance to try it for real. Took me few laps to realize that my adjustment of torque distribution and brake balance I have done in free practice yesterday, are not working in real TT so I need to re-learn things. Here is my first attempt from morning.

Looks like it might be tricky one, so far 4000 people tested it and not even if you are P100 you are getting gold, so might require to put some practice in order to get that gold.

So yea, not even available to us Yankees (or any non-Europeans) to do the TT.

I mean, I can't much think of a combo I'd like less than [any car] and Lake Louise. But it's the principle of it, dag gummit!

Funny thing is the track is in north America and the car from South Korea 😁

The car has 5 hp less. My prediction of 1.137 was right, and it will get close to 36. The fact that there are (at the moment) 5000 players and gold is obtained by 150, shows that few can go fast. But the end is still far away.

 

[half_sourly]

My god, snow TT are very hard no? I'm top 100 and still silver haha

If it is any consolation, and I know it isn't, at the moment it is easier than the other TT we had at Lake Louise, when only 0.96% of drivers got gold. (results here).

@Barareklam cool to see the lap mate, you are feeling right at home as expected 😁
You even hit the wall on your PB lap,?! Exit T3?, thats about the only thing I can replicate of your lap 🤣🤣🤣

Well done already!

 

[Barareklam]

 

[Gomario JSP]

Man you can clearly see who lives in a snow environment and who lives in the Netherlands, we have rain..no snow 🤣
I ran a few extra laps because my 40.7xx was silver when I logged on 😕🤣

If you even look at the wall it turns red 🙈
Definitely not an easy one , did find a second though but come on.....

Place 69..... 2.10% 😕😕🙄🙄🙈🙈🤣🤣

@Barareklam , now you have to lock yourself up this week and go for the throne, see you in Amsterdam 🤣,

 

[StevenSpiegel]

This is so frustrating, I dont think I'm able to get gold in this TT, just gold for now by 3 cents

 

[manou]

It is extremely hard ...

 

[Buckethead75]

First time trying the snow since the physics update, I must say it's quite fun now. My best time is 40.0 so far.

My issue is that I can't be really consistent, I sometimes get out of corners really fast, and the next lap, even though I feel I'm doing the same thing, I can't put the power down.

 

[Gomario JSP]

Morning folks, the few folks here I must say 🤣

I'm moving to scandinavia...
God that snow sliding is fun, I could do that all day IRL 🤣🤣

Had a descent S1, but stuffed up S2, would have been a 38 🙈
But we made progression, but it's an absolute mystery to me how you mid 38 this @Barareklam hats of mate

Now I think it's 1.84%, 322 of 17467, I'm 310th and any improvement from the aliens kick me out of gold.

 

[DaGoerd]

I took the plunge today and managed a reasonable time. All without a tantrum. 😄
I hope I don't have to make any further improvements.

 

[Gomario JSP]

I know now where to find time, suddenly I have S1's in the high .2xx 🙈, but now I forgot how to take other corners 🤣🤣
If I hit one clean lap I'm in the 38's.... but my hands are sore, I'm taking a break for today 🤣🤣

Hey mate, slow down, no need to win this one, you already live in Amsterdam 😅

Hey, he's just utilizing 1000 IQ by claiming the prize, telling them there's no need for the traveling package, and gets his prize converted to money instead!

All fun and games...... this dude is at a .4xx trust me.... I'm not going to make that,...but,
Excellent idea Tume! 😁😁🤣🤣

But now I'm curious what would happen if someone from the Netherlands, especially close to the event, would win the Time Trial... 🤔

Im 15 km from Amsterdam, at least it would get me free food I guess 🤣

 

[imChris]

Managed a 39.729 (+2.38%), which I think is maximum. Don't think it will be enough for gold though, as the top times keep tumbling down.

Edit: Managed to bump it down to 38.931 (+1.56%) once I managed to figure how to to maximise grip using revs

 

[djidane57]

i think silver will do just fine for Lake Louise event , 1.41.8 !

This comment is gold, I was stucked at 1:40 as an optimal, S1 30 seconds, S2 another 30 and S4 40 seconds. With controlling more the revs I manage to improve S1 and S2 and 1:39.830 +2,54%, gold for now, will be enough?

Edit: The leaders never stop improving, every time I enter some improvement is done, 2.56%, 2.66% and 2.74% now in a few hours, is better to give up and accept that silver is not so bad.
