New Year Holiday Challenge: SLS AMG GT3 '11 Overtake Challenge

[Stotty]

Clean sky. Some ghosts in front before to start. Takes a bit longer to catch the first car, in fact the T1 is a bit worst but its easyer tos catch the BMW
Anyway my lap time does not improvement
I prefer the clouds

Ok so AI cars are moving at different phase depending on weather, and starting gear probably should be 4th but for some reason the car is late/slow every now and then and there fore starting 3rd gear and loosing some time straight from the beginning?

AI cars moving on a different phase would explain a lot of things already

I originally thought the AI were in different positions on different runs, but with more laps I started thinking it was just me. Yes, I can meet the BMW at a slightly different position, but IME that's more down to exit speed from the top of the hill than any variance in it's position.

Yeah, this event being at nurb really doesn't make this thing easy to be certain of that right hand turn before meeting BMW is kind of funny corner (every corner on this set/track is kind of funny ) with good line and turn in it's almost flat out on 4th gear, but being too early and rear end of BMW comes really big.

Timing differences are just fractions of seconds and the way this track is varying depending are you one centimeter left or right is just something that makes judging this thing really difficult, almost impossible, and the fact that there's something weird going on at start isn't exactly making it any easier

But yeah, since I've been improving .01 at a time I think it's safer to start without any ghosts at front of you we should be starting somewhere around flugplatz to cure that problem

I can only manage 1.07.5##. Need to work on passing the Z4 earlier. It's definitely the exit speed from the chicane. I had to pass the Z4 at the right hander. The only time I managed to pass the Z4 before that turn, I ran wide with the finish line in sight. Would have golded that time.
But when I watch the top guys do it, I'm still amazed at the accuracy of their turn, braking, throttle...

Since it's the last day, I gave everything and did a 1:04:247....faster is not possible (for me)

 

[vsaber]

Finally. Got this one. I found that the car goes faster without TC and SRF. Did 1.06.3##, I think if I drive a bit better, my max is around mid 1.05##

 

[ODB]

Ok, it took me whole two weeks almost daily with this event but my result was far better than I originally expected, or even couple of days a go even made T1 under 27s couple of times today and got couple of really good overtakes on that nissan, and finally also made pretty good run trough that chicane and last corner, I'm so very happy 1:03.512 is my final result and I can't start telling how happy I am really good 👍

Oh yeah, and to make my day even better I made stunning 59.476 at panorama, I have never figured out that downhill, but now I think I have some sort of idea

What a great events best of luck for those still trying, and for the future events, interesting to see will we get some "normal" time trials next!!

 

[Stotty]

Fabulous times... I noticed your nurb time, but the bathurst one is very good too. 👍

You have REALLY got fast last few event!

Thanks man!! I must say I obviously had right brakefeast yesterday

But honestly I think that t300 is starting to really work for me, especially now that I dropped FFB much lower. Still my driving is far from perfect, but now it really feels like at least it's not the equipment that's holding me back

But yeah, I'm actually quite speechless over my own performance yesterday How self centric is that Hahahahahahahahah

Just enjoy the feeling

 

[ODB]

Just enjoy the feeling

Yeah mate, great feeling for pushing myself for two weeks and actually landing on a great result, priceless, just priceless

 

[Growling]

Man @ODB I wish I had the patience to do 2 weeks every day on a TT! I do 2 or 3 long sessions, then I go mad if I do another because it takes me hours to catch yesterday's ghost

I need to be more patient

 

[WhoosierGirl]

I was having a terrible time with glitches on the holiday seasonals so I didn't do more than a few laps on each one.
I was in first place an hour into this seasonal and never went back, ended up just a few spots out of the top 100.
I know I could have improved quite a bit but, I'm actually kind of proud of where I ended up. I can remember putting in hours just to get in the top 1000.

Hahah, well no that you mention, I think it's the lack of patience that brings me back behind the wheel every day, if just possible, and usually it is and if I can't catch my ghost I get really impatient finding out what I'm doing wrong and how the hell I managed to be so fast the other day I mean somehow I can understand if someone is faster than me but me being faster than me just doesn't make any sense

 

[Mike-ZENKAI]

PD, WHY have a leader board when it is removed as soon as the event is over????

On a positive note I did enjoy these holiday seasonal events.

 

[mike_gt3]

Well done everyone! wished i could have another run at it but my Wheel is really bad now, it doesnt hold center, after a while i have to keep the Wheel at 45 degree to keep the car straight...

Getting a new G27 tomorrow

Can anyone tell me the complete specs (parts installed) of this SLS GT3 please?

Can anyone tell me the complete specs (parts installed) of this SLS GT3 please?

Like the holiday event with the Pagani, we received ALL sets of tires from the reward car, but Racing Hard (RH) tires were installed on the car we drove. The other installed parts were:

High RPM Range Turbo Kit

That's it. Seeing how it's a GT3 race car, it already comes with Adjustable Suspension, Racing Brakes & Dog-Clutch Transmission by default.

EDIT: 670PP, 844HP, 1350kg, 642lb/ft max. torque
