Event: Modern A Invitational Race Nordschleife
Car: McLaren MP4 12C
Loaners car: No Tunning Available
No racing line

0:00.935 off the world record. Few mistakes here and there but i think i can do it 👍 Just need to push a little harder.



------------------
EDIT

Shortly after i finally did it.
New World Record for this Even is 6:47:459





I had to turn ON racing line which i am really ashamed, it help in few places but the lap it's not smoothest as i want to be. On 5 minute 15 second there is sudden drop on the track. I've always slow down there because I fear that dark place :ouch:

Fantastic. :)

I tried the same this evening, and best I could do was 7.09, but lots of interference from AI early on. :irked:

I will keep trying.
 
I'm unable do even do a clean lap (usually by mistake from me... or the AI :D) when its near the grass it usually gives a cut track penalty and no time in the end :(

Maybe with the help of this video now.... :sly:

Congrats on the WR 👍

So I did remember it right, I didnt start this event in 4th place neither! Not that I d be able to beat you fast a** basterds but nevertheless WTH?! :ouch:
 
Didn't someone say that if you set AI to 'hard' it puts you in 4th on the grid ? :)

Gonna have another few goes myself today...would be nice to go at least sub-7 mins. :irked:

Suzuka GP coming on TV now. Another of my fave tracks. :)
 
You guys got me thinking about the Modern Invitational A. So I set me a doable goal (or I hoped so): to beat the national record...

After ~1h of playing I did it (I had guest so give me a break :lol:) and took 4s off. That gave me 7:03.xxx and then the guest gone and I though I ought to join the sub 7m club... a much more daunting task....

3h to shave those 3 last seconds... and more. 6:58.117 as you guys can check in Autolog.

So, to all of you, a big thanks for inspiration 👍

PS: as added bonus, I'm in the top 5 on my speed wall :D
 
You know what was the most fun for me while trying to beat that event? When my Mom came to visit while I was on a really good lap: She came in, I got distracted for a second, spin, heavy crash, lots of frustrated shouting, swearing and arms waving! My Mom laughed and said in a wise-a** tone: "You know, you outta drive on the road, not into the barrier..." :D

I was like "Ok then, show me how its done, Mrs Schumacher!" and placed her in my rig. After explaining what everything does, including the pedals (she has a driving license, btw) she started her first ever Shift 2 race... and then her second after a first corner pileup cause she didnt break... and then her 3rd cause she dead-stopped in the middle of the corner and was hit and knocked out... and then her forth cause she slowly crawled round the corner and then mashed the throttle while in the grass and still full throttled when the car faced the barrier, dead-on... and then her fifth etc etc etc. She never made it to the 2nd curve but she had lots of fun smashing millions worth of supercars. She would have wiped out half a yearly production of MP4-12Cs that day but hey... Moms, what can you do?! :D
