THE CHALLENGE HUB, CHALLENGE COMPLETE

[Thematic]

The Audi "GT3" racecars, year 2012, are different. If I recall, this one without the liveries has less downforce as I looked at the settings of both.

[49.672 s]



Not one of my best if I look at the gold qualifier. Not very enthused to return and see how many more ways the FORD GT can foil attempts, depending on timing (it's also a trope from 1980s or maybe earlier, games). The fourtynine eight six four was very similar but I didn't do the penultimate turn properly.

 

[skeagracing]

he was on SS..you can see in his pics.. I know Bryce told him to be div1 but am not sure if he thought about missions only or overall..

btw I saw SL65 AMG Black Series in Zagreb, I don't like Mercedes cars very much but this one is proper monster. @skeagracing Have you ever got to drive that one?

edit.. do we all do no tune srflesly? i couldn't spell it?

edit2.. Bryce mate not that its very important but I was at LiGHTS CAMERA ACTION 8/10 before last 2 vids
And I have 6 No tune wins

edit3.. @smoothbore12 Audi is by far worst car from 4 in the pool at least IMO.. Thanks for however else voted for BmW but we ended up 1 vote down

One was delivered to my home track by Benz. I road tested it with the person who purchased the car so that he would be safe on the road. For the price in the US of $300,000 dollars that was the disappointment for me. Yes it is a monster but an overpriced one. I did get to drive a SLS (with some racing parts) and I liked that car better for the price/performance as it was a lot more stable on the track. Just my opinion as I drove both. The racing parts did help the SLS drive better on track. To make the SL65 AMG drive more stable you will have to put in a lot more racing parts. I guess I liked the SLS with it’s smooth lines a lot better.

@skeagracing I did only race for school but haven't recorded it yet.. 1st lap looks stupid on replay cam, when I'll have time I'll record it but I think it'd be better in chase cam.. at least 1st lap..
Throttle was applying again also And it happens only in this game for some reason.. I think it has smallest "dead zone" for steering and padles inputs.. 🤬

Roger that I had the same thing with my run.

 

[nostradavor2]

@skeagracing Yes, I was guessing it is not the best track or racing car(looks heavy too) but was more referring too impression that it leaves on the street.. I usually don't even notice german cars but that one just looks like mean badass mofo.. 300k is definitely too much tho. Anyways lucky you, shame I'll never go to States probably... I'd be happy to go to lunch or something with you and just talk about racing and cars

@Thematic Yea.. Im not thst crazy about doing mission races anymore either .. will probably enter just not to leave you alone in div1

I would love that for sure!

The High Speed Ring with the RUF at the SkeagRacing School is just another NASCAR race. Just be carefull in the tunnel as the corners before and after are off camber. The other cars are also in your face and take no prisoners.

 

[bjl23]

@Thematic is only in div 1 for the missions, so use RH for the Audi.
Sorry for the confusion.

Its not that hard i think when its tuned the CTR .
From last week testing before 51 round ends , with 550 pp ( don't remember how many horses was carrying ) with SS tyres and no SRF i was victorious over FXX .
Depending the tune ,might be full of it ,or smokeless
Very enjoyable car ,not so quick as it seems but the fun factor hit the limit.
Of course if Tinkerbell or Boogeyman take part ...... We all know what that means but what the 🤬 , the journey counts .

PS
That crossover TTs with the COWT guys are start ruin my SRF liking

Don't worry about me much, I recorded my first race since I think that's most realistic. Car was at 537 BHP and 1200 KG (556PP) and SS tyres, abs 1 no aids. There wasn't FXX in my grid tho but I would have to disagree about speed of the car. It's very fast IMO.

And regarding your opinion on SRF... Thank God I don't know that Madrid circuit but am glad you guys did it Srflesly so I'll do it too and hopefully will be able to catch ya

The FXX is driven by a drunk driver who can't drive to save his life!!!

Thanks for letting me know about the no-tune wins, as for the videos, the one you do on other games or the crossover cup don't count. I know I'm ruthless

Hmmmm ,why i don't believe you ?
Cause you're always a sneaky son of a gun
I just play this once yesterday and wrote a 8.27 full of errors ,slides , grass , etc and 3 rd lap slower than first .
So deffinetly you can go faster , enough i can say.
You just throw the bate to catch some fish

This audi has the habit to spin rear wheels even with TC plus is understeer to much .
Without TC is 🤬 ,reminds me Art Morrison that can spin rear wheels even with TC on 5 .
@Thematic deffinetly run this on SS and considering he didn't use SRF looks like heroic effort to bring that home .
At least the Phoenix one has more downforce at the back.
Bloody Bryce ,always like weird cars

52./No Tune

For over a hundred km I got nothing. I then did my still standing pb T1 of just a little over 15.1 which ended up being a quicker lap by about 30 ms. The next lap was a shoot-the-proof crawl but as soon as lap 4 was not "blue", but 1 ms faster than what I posted last, while lap 5 had a decent T1 of about 15.15 and gave me the
[1:00.415]


I kept fouling the sector two right into the climb today, and I think even that was not quite as good then as on that lap 1.
YMMV, but at least for this lap I went down to first gear, which helped me find a better line through the last turn. I stress it may not be the quick way, but it's at least what I needed then: I had seen the ghost leave me behind many times before, today.

 

[nostradavor2]

I tried No tune w no aids (abs1) and it's very frustrating to be honest.. I did best 1:00.1**..Its a track with 3 corners but it's really difficult to get them all 3 good enough which is really annoying.. I think adjusting BB could help little bit (what Bb do you guys use?) but still..
I can get T1 14.8 fastest so I think with no. aids something like 59.5 is doable but I really don't know if I'll have will power to do it..

 

[smoothbore12]

Wheel users deffinetly have an advantage on turn 3 at no tune ,is the turn you gain or loose over your ghost.
Must be to the " spot " and you must have smooth entry .
Of course that means that you have to take perfect each time the last one ,if slide occurs then as Gladiator often says : Ciao.
Just from curiosity i try with SRF and hit a 59.5 and in a good run after that i left way far my ghost after turn 3 but i skrew it very much at the last one .
Anyway whats SRFLESS count and feels good to " push" @Thematic which i believe is matter of time to pass me , just fractions for an earlier throttle hit or few meters late braking.

@bjl23 you get out your tongue and said big words mate .

Chic

It takes more and even more than more improvement according to my fastest lap but you must go faultless and take no prisoners mod.
Looking forward Bryce for your answer .....
But am sure that at the end there will be only one ..... Me of course

Ps
The run was with SRF on , without it i really can't put a decent lap , 4 laps ? Is out of question , terrible behaviour ,like is two different pieces and its end doing his own thing .

Tinkerbell my BB is 6-4 , usually give more in the back but i found that a bit earlier braking help me more at first turn to avoid slide so i gave more stoping power at front ,to loose more speed before let it roll. Besides that with more brake power at the rear ,slides all together and didn't put the back out .

 

[bjl23]

I have my BB on the default setting in the no-tune, since we can't adjust it when using the courtesy car.

Faq ...... I didn't use the courtesy car , so all this is waisted time ....
Sorry guys didn't even notice that ,plus i change oil , i skrew it totally.

Bloody Smooth ,always skrew something .
And i thought that i made progress without SRF .... Progress my a.s.s.
Sorry guys once again .

If it is any consolation, I did the same. We got our work cut out for us!

Thanks for your honesty guys

@CozmicDragon did you do the same?

 

[smoothbore12]

@bjl23

Deffinetly it is , and i guess and @nostradavor2 did the same since was asking about BB preferences.
Anyway we had to start from the beginning .

 

[bjl23]

@nostradavor2 hasn't posted a time yet, so he's in the clear.

 

[nostradavor2]

but answer is yes

 

[CozmicDragon]

Yes, I definitely used the courtesy car. I double checked before even attempting this.
(Although I did accidentally do a 20 lap run on the normal layout of Madrid Mini instead of the reverse variant, the fastest time there ended up being slower than the final time I posted, which was done on the correct track, so it didn't matter anyway)

 

[Thematic]

52./No Tune

I established early on that a sub 61 second lap is a keeper. Got a 1:01.009 so soon that I didn't even shoot it. After that it was about 300 km of grinding, including the part where I went to see from a replay what the T1 was, upon which the game decided that comfort tyres are fine for that car and I didn't notice it for 20 or 30 minutes. I agree, but geese. At least I did better than I could hope for without a good night's sleep:

Halfway / Start of third lap

 

[nostradavor2]

My worst entry probably ever but I spent 25 mins too much on that.. Hate both the track and the car... Time is with no aids except abs.. 59 is definitely possible if you find out how to carry speed from 2nd corner to longest straight but I'll definitely won't be the one who tries it..
