Time Trial Discussion

How many laps have you done to get gold ?

Very honestly:

• 2 yesterday night with sport soft tires (1:54.0xx).
• 7 this morning. Was in gold after the 4th lap (1:53.640). I had to improve it to stay in gold.

 

[IngRobNy]

Hurray, finally Silver! Not a standard these days, either people are getting faster and I'm getting older and slower, or both.

 

[Evilmuffin]

Awwww....come on....you just wouldn't let me get into the 51s 🤧

Ahh well....first run on Thursday, it's ok I guess.

 

[Interemptor]

How many laps is a couple for you ?

I don't know.. Monza is around 6km I think and the daily marathon says 40km so 6 or 7 🤔 Minus a couple of restarts until I had the breaking point for turn 1 😂

 

[Buckethead75]

That new TT is one of the easiest I think. Long track, few corners, street car with low downforce = easy gold.

Chicanes are fun to get right though.

It is easy when there are enough tires and traction for the car, like this current TT. I can deal with the long braking distance. It becomes incredibly hard when the tires can't cope with the silly amount of HP like that idiotic VGT we had a while ago 🙈

 

[Interemptor]

Still so much time to gain 😒

I think in the first 3 laps my brain forgot that the goal is to be faster each lap not slower 🤦‍♂️😂

Tried the Lambo for 15-20 mins before going to pick up the kids from the kindergarden. Jeeesus, like wrestling a greasy pig, not a single braking point was even remotely correct, not a single lap completed

But it will be done

Interim Results for TT96 at Suzuka in Gr.2. At this interim stage it is a very average example of a TT on my difficulty-o-meter.

Very little figures for Suzuka, boot in terms of overall partecipants and GTP partecipants. I guess holidays?

I'm reading that Monza TT should not be too complicated. I haven't tried it yet, I'm just wondering if it's just a matter to wait for some superhuman to fly through the first chicane and destroy the world record

That is one difference between us. I won't do it.

I did only 3 laps and I don't feel it. It is fast and heavy with small brakes - and that's probably how it is IRL but I like any race car more. So, I will enjoy furthermore the speedhunting at Suzuka and leave the Lambo be...

Great if some of you love this combo!

First test in Monza and get gold at 1'53'040

Another test In Laguna Seca , not gold but improve my time at 1'21'866

 

[Interemptor]

Last post now since I believe I've spamed enough.. Posted more here then in the last 2 weeks combined I think 😂🙈🙈

Pretty happy with getting below 1:52 💪

 

[Chris30]

Chris, @TumeK5 is absolutely right here, worst you can do imo changing throttle to R1.... and braking L1..., no abbility to feed pressure on those, just stick with L2 and R2 and let the mind muscle connection do it's job


You see , nice job mate, you can sleep peacefully now 💪💪

Ok Jomar, I will switch those two factors then, I trust you and a lot of others here, but I am gonna have to wave the white flag at Laguna, I really want to go on and get a sub 1'22.200, but my patience is running thin here. I did however get this reward at Bathurst, so that made me happy this morning. So, I'm letting go of control, enjoy the new TT guys.

I'm sure Monza will be a workout to the lesser skilled drivers, and that car. The Murcielago is an awkward car for me to drive, I know from the old NFS 2002 game on my ps2. It has bad turning sometimes and it's hard to get a grip on coasting through the corners and turns, but I'll just have to deal with it like you guys are.

Ok, I see Jeddah is already in, first chicane was already been flown through

You wont let anyone being the Boss in Monza in an italian car, right?

🦾 Forza my friend

 

[Chris30]

Let's see if L-shooter can get the top record at Monza; Jeddah's a really fierce competitor so he won't anyone past his tracks.

 

[half_sourly]

Home for a short stint today on my week off. Away again shortly, but had time to:

• Do the results
• Get my 100th gold medal - whoop
• Have a 100 mile stint at Monza - more fun than I thought it might be. Will be back.

yes you are right my dear friend, it didn't take me too long !!! 🤣🤣 This new TT is really very interesting

Improve again my time at Monza with a time at 1'52'528 with optimal time at 1'52'371

 

[NAXEHT]

100!

Very clean lap, bravo Jérôme!!
There are still some tenths available.
GO GO GO 👏👏

 

[Vule]

100!

Nice collector level

 

[A_Higher_Place]

This clunky brick needs patience during its weight transfer. Set my fastest time in L'orange again @Pesselles and I couldn't match it, even with a racing livery!

I won't go back here unless I'm threatened with a good time. The sound of this thing on replays is incredible though... 🤯.

 

[TheNormsk]

100!

View attachment 1385058

Impressive race stats! I guess being at the front all the time makes getting clean races easier when you're not in the plebeian mid pack pushing you around!

 

[Chris30]

@NAXEHT Wow man, no bronze and silver! Cool collector level. My bronze total will probably reach close to 100, or even silver. But that doesn't bother me. As long as I have a supporting community like you guys who wouldn't be worried about gold medals. Well I need to get to work at Monza, I need plenty of time to reach my desired goal. You're more familiar with MT than I am.

Cheers. That depends. Sometimes front is excellent, but how T1 works on whatever track usually decides if I qualify or not. Lot of that is from starting at the back, picking up what I can. Some tracks have a nice turn one that lets you escape (Big Willow and Suzuka to name a couple), others can be a full on disaster where you must rely completely on the people behind to “get it” and not screw up (Red Bull Ring immediately springs to mind).

Apart this excellent score (bravo), its obvious you need some serious help if you use an or---ge livery.
Lucky you, I have very good friends for you:

You're welcome

Thanks a lot my dear Daniel and for your encouragement !!!!
You too my dear Daniel Go , go , go !!!! for secure your gold !!!!💪💪💪

I have been told that Jeddah second name is Mario, so I think I'm ok with him being on top.
It is a concession I feel I can make

Who told you that? Anyways, I'm fixing to do the Monza TT, anything I should watch out for? The only thing I hate about Monza is trying to perfect that first Sector where you have to make a right and then an immediate left, I'll post a picture of where I'm talking about.

I despise that section with a huge passion, 80% of the time I'll ruin my lap here. And then coming out from that part my car will slide some and I either lose balance or head straight on, see my TCS is always set at 0. It's always a roll of the dice here, I'll never know what will happen.
