Hopefully it was just taken down due to the start date being in the future and it pops back up when it was scheduled to start.

That's a rad livery you chose, hope it represents your hot lapping,
Good luck out there at HSR.

Not that it really matters for me lol...when it comes to getting gold the difference between Jeddah and any of the other top 50 or so is the dust on a butterfly's wings!
Although actually, there is often a gap of more than a second between P1 and P50 (and I'm not talking about Le Mans or Nordschleife) - I think we can all agree that a second usually matters a lot when it comes to getting gold

Yeah, a second is a second, and knowing where to find that missing second is the challenge of the TT's. I think for many younger players indeed. You have to compare replays with yours or use a ghost slightly faster than you. If you beat it, you find an even more faster one, and repeat the pattern until you reach your desired time.

Thanks, I will take a look at the replay! I only just realised that you can set the ghost to reset at each sector (apparently?) so I'll be trying that out later too.
I think the Rampage TT is one of my favourites, I really don't understand the hate for the car. Even on a pad it doesn't feel like too much of a handful. Although I will admit my fastest time was actually with the TCS set to 3.

Hi friends, very very quick update as I’m busy as errr heck today! Back at RBR and broke into the 1:36s… what a fun trial!! If I had time I think I could improve a lot more but really I’ve got to get stuck in to Trial Mountain as time is very very restricted this week!

Yes, you can set this parameter for the ghost, and it's super useful.
Ok Ok
I'll give a try to this TT, even if I'm really not familiar with the reverse track, and with the car.TCS and other assists are legal part of the game, there's no shame to use when needed. The point is to complet the lap as fast as possible. And very obviously, the Rampage needs TCS.
A LOT
We should ban people who spread lies and fake news...

Today I drove around 60+ laps on the HSR TT in M/T. I was able to beat my best time by about 1 & 1/2 tenths. My Optimum was about 1:01:4xx. The best thing about this TT is that even if the lap gets invalidated, it just takes about a minute to start a new lap. A real fun TT where grip is king.

How are you doing mate, I went to therapy Tuesday for my follow-up, I'm doing great and trying to stay positive and keep my chin up. Eiger was a tough TT and my rank was in the 77,000th's. 77,846 to be exact. See I didn't really shortshift a lot which cost me a whole lot of time. So, what do you think of the HSR TT, I haven't tried it yet. I got sidetracked with doing other modes in the game so I didn't get to it.
Hopefully today I will.
@Pesselles Glen passed you? Maybe you get him back by getting a sub 1'01.500!
Hi,
Sort of off topic and sort of on...
@feral and bad @zjn...
A "zero flex" rig with a comfy seat and inverted pedals...
If anyone would like copies of the drawings for the inverted pedal plates - Please just message me. They are designed to drop onto a 500mm wide (580mm total - outside to outside) rig. Anyone with even half and idea about CAD would be able to adjust the hole centres and fold points.
Best regards to all here.
Ian.

I can confirm that inverted pedals do indeed make a huge difference. It took me a lonnnggggg time to get all these angles right and it is paying huge dividends now. The dimensions of the setup below are as near as I can get to the perfect angle (s). It's extremely comfortable and I now don't get any back ache or leg ache. I am, very very, pleased with it!

I was not looking forward to this TT but it's next on the schedule. I'm not very good at the Red Bull Ring or in the rain / on a wet track...
Thanks to everyone here and @Tidgney ghost + video, I was able to sneak into gold. I needed Wets, TC and CSA to enter the land of Gold! I really hope this holds as I have to go on a Rampage now...

It doesn't get any closer!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Exiting Turn 2, accelerating into the tunnel as soon as possible and carrying your speed into the final corner are definitely the key points at High Speed Ring. I already knew I'll suffer in the last one as I just can't replicate the massive steering lock wheel users can put – it's literally impossible with the controller 😬
That being said, I realised that nailing the first two sectors is the only way to run a good lap this time. The photos below are pretty much the epitome of my overreacting opening statement. 😯
Sector 1 split – 23.752
Sector 2 split – 43.371 (you may need to up the brightness a bit here, my apologies)
A more than respectable final corner helped me achieve the lap of 1:00.408 😇 Currently in the top 10 but I really don't care where it'll stand when this ends. I can leave HSR being 100% satisfied!
Check the replay and ghost in-game for any help. 😊

Such a nice site this, and looking at my last coule of results, I can be quite happy, it seems that when I put in some effort, the results come Usually I just do one session and call it quits, I'm racing elsewhere, but ever since I purchased the VR2, I just had the urge to drive and drive, especially in time trials, and it obviously helped

Wow, amazing and powerful setup man. I'm hoping to have something like that when I get older and my health stabilized to where I can move my feet quicker to press on the pedals.
Allright, I guess I'll work on some more of the RBR wet TT, it ends in 5-6 days so I need to get my arse moving and in gear. Time to break MT out full-fledge and shortshifting.
