It was an easy gold. I expected more challenge

 

[will-i-am]

Finally broke 58. @ 58.8 7th for now. But not for long I'm sure.

 

[Jayson619]

Sports Tires!?! Can't even hit 1:02 what the hell....unless it's Racing Hard that comes with it!

 

[JogoAsobi]

No prob., its confusing this time around.
Its forced on for Peugeot TT, forced off for Mazda TT, optional for this one.
Perhaps the powers to be decided to try and please everyone.

Any tips or tricks for people who are not so experienced and playing on DS3 because I really want that paint but I can't break 1:02 time

Not got gold yet myself, but brake early! It is very fast . Watch out for the revs not dropping too - it seemed to me that there is little 'engine' braking so it sits at the revs where you let off the brakes. This was making me run wide, I had to dab the brakes again. Good Luck.

The challenge is to keep improving on your time.

handbrake will help

 

[et_]

As @lisanorm said, handbrake helps, and try to take the corners as a V shape if you know what I mean. tight in, turn around, and fast out.

 

[Roflwaffle]

The first few hairpins are definitely the most important corners on the track. All you need to do is get them right and you should have a gold 👍

 

[lisanorm]

i will be happy when i break the minute,just a tad off
edit got it by 3 thou, this will do me

I will try my best but I'm not very good with sliding or drifting around corners

 

[tetekiller]

when seasonal events races?

 

[CRANK_U1]

Reminds me of the tesla one this. Serious abuse of the handbrake

 

[freek97racing]

Just did a 58,134 currently p1 still 0,2 to slow in first sector and didnt use handbrake not sure if it helps that much

The lines on Eiger are very difficult to nail down. I downloaded the ghost replay of the leader and just did my best to cling on to the back bumper of that yellow line. Having someone to follow through those complex sections helps up top. (I still can't figure out that stupid sweeper at the bottom of the track, though.) Good luck!

Holy dung this was hard to gold without SRF. Came up a full second short without handbrake (it's rather hard to use HB on DS3 - at least for me). Took a lot of practise with the handbrake and a LOT of restarts to get it, but ended up with a 1.00.615. One of the best and most satisfying laps I have driven to date.

For an average driver like me, it does as I improved by half a second right after I started using it.

 

[Roflwaffle]

I find using the handbrake difficult an awkward on a DS3. So to do the hairpins I would just run slightly wide on the approach to the corner, dip my tyre into the grass on the left, brake, and that would turn me in.

Congrats man, for me it's the first seasonal where I had to join the dark side. I failed to be faster than 1:01.6xx without SRF, the car feels like its got a permanently locked lsd and was understeering at every possibility...I don't e-brake, so probably could find some time once i master that.

Car feels so much more drivable on SRF, first try on SRF was a 59.352 where I'm gonna leave it at. Kind of disappointed in myself not being able to gold it without SRF thought. Hard to believe that SRF makes the car handle like a goddess...

you did it with SRF?

Same here! I thought I was driving badly until I realised: Sports tires on a race car!?!

 

[DeltawingR18]

OOH! I love this car, can't wait to try it out. Seems odd they put such a large car on a small track though.

 

[yannagas]

This TT is hilarious! It sounds and drives like an electric RC car on steroids
where's my futaba???

Tuning tip: Replace or recharge batteries after 10min of gaming!

 

[Vic Reign93]

Just ran a 58.984 with SRF which puts me inside the top 100 and 3rd among the Brits who've ran with a DS3.

 

[GTGismo]

Just by the smallest margin got goldwith my DS3 and no SFR. Blimley was hard car to get use to.....
