Time Trial Discussion

[250Cal]

5 laps today. Managed to knock off about the same time as the fastest time had improved, so no net gain. FML.

 

[Sojiira]

Spent some time in the rental, quite scary with it being easy to lose control during braking but super fun! Managed to get in the 7:30s
Will try upgrades and a tune to see if I can at least get Silver before times up.

Edit: Got into the 7:01s! and think Ill be safe for silver.

 

[tmtk]

My first laps with tuned NSX and using a tune from @Jeje6410 I managed to get into 7:12. Car is stable under braking, but steering with directional buttons makes it even more snappy. So much acceleration is lost trying to control where it's going mid-turn and the exit.

 

[TumeK5]

Still no time improvement for me whatsoever. I did get some useful tips from @MadMax though, running a low accel LSD setting really helps with this tail happy bastard.

I might have an easier time putting together sectors now, but I need them to be together at once

And I only need to improve around a second for a hopefully safe gold.

It took a while, but I managed to beat my time with Automatic Transmission. (6:54.6).

 

[ColinNZ]

7:05.3 ... silver is so close I can almost taste it.

 

[skyhighguy86]

Got down to a 6:55.2xx , will try again to get the gold. Congratulations to those who achieved there goals and best of luck to those still trying.

Thanks a lot my friend @tmtk for your feedback. It's always a real pleasure. Thanks again for having tested and used it

7.12.675 ....here I can not do better ... I think I gave everything with my car ...🥵🥵🥵
can't wait for the next Time Trial

Good drive and enjoy

This was fun, but I'm not at all interested in pulling my hair out every time I make a mistake. One session this afternoon was enough for me.

Using the Praiano tune I've settled on a solid bronze 7.19.

Well done to all of you who have the skill and patience to persist and improve.

 

[tmtk]

7:11.500 (with 0.5 penalty)
Having tried a few tunes posted here I can safely say that as an average DS4 player using directional buttons and X/O inputs I feel best with @Jeje6410 tune. Very stable on corner entry (great for trail braking), but still too wild on exit, need to be very careful with gas input. Other tunes felt too loose for my liking.

Every NSX wants to kill me around this track, but Jeje's the least. 😅

Didn't want to try at first (I don't like to do the tuning myself in tt), but gave it a chance anyway.
7:01.731 (DS5, AT), quite satisfied for the time invested.
Hope it will remain silver, second in a row, I'm getting worse

 

[Leon Kowalski]

7:01:9

Phew. Silver at the moment. I'm almost glad that I haven't gone under 7 minutes, because that would have possibly tempted me to try for gold and waste a lot of time on it...😆

 

[snc]

Silvering this track for me was harder than many golds on others tt ;d

 

[250Cal]

Still a few seconds from gold. Starting to get concerned!

 

[dimassa19]

@1gorFraga, please, don't go too fast, otherwise I lose my Gold...


Gold: 6:54.411

Silver: 7:02.458

Bronze: 7:22.575

 

[zaxs]

7:08.2 but can't keep car on the track for full lap for better time...
Not even trying lot, simply this car is killing me, even with Praiano setup.

 

[seadog777]

Well I tried to improve my best for the last couple of days by mucking about with tunes..... and can't get to my previous best which is many seconds away from bronze!
I've lost track of the tuning and made the car much worse..... the back end is all over the place. Have installed some bits that can't be removed so I think my only option is to buy another one and start from scratch! But that will cost way more than the bronze prize..... 🥺

 

[AstroVex]

Woke up this morning to find out I was not a gold medalist anymore... 😟 It hurts... This is getting REALLY hard. Just like others, I tend to get lost in the settings as I tune my ride... Hopefully I'll sort this out today. Good luck to all, and keep on pushing

 

[TumeK5]

Just make sure you have max rear downforce and anti-roll bar, LSD accel set to low. Can't think of anything else without making the whole setup

@1gorFraga, please, don't go too fast, otherwise I lose my Gold...

Gold: 6:54.411

Silver: 7:02.458

Bronze: 7:22.575

Just saw that. I survived by 0.042s 😅

 

[kowalski__1]

Just saw that. I survived by 0.042s 😅

Well,i didn't, lost my silver by .064...

 

[zdravkelja]

6:55.500, getting close. These last few TTs are insane.

 

[Gomario JSP]

Normally I'm trying to the end, but somehow I lost my drive a bit on this one, 5 seconds of gold is not realy my goal and i know the Nordschleife quite well, but the NSX and me are just not the best team I quess.
I think if I would have the time to sit down for a few hours perfecting the tune I could scraps af some time but gold?, I don't think so, so I'll take my silver and focus on the next one, saves me alot of frustrating 🤣
It was fun trying tho!

Peace, I'm out 🤣

Easily done.

I find the best thing to do is to get a base setup and then copy it and edit the copy. That way, I can always find my way back to a known good spot by loading up the base settings again.

Don't buy another! The Jester setup is relatively stable and predictable. Load that back in and chip away at the time.

 

[half_sourly]

Another two days before I will be home to have a go at this properly. Champing at the bit.

Finally got going on return from Christmas break. Before the break I did only two laps with Mistah MCA's tune and did 7:12.

Played around with tunes, trying Digit's, Jester's (via Metalgear), Mistah MCA's again and eventually landing on Kie25's.

Been chipping away and currently at 6:55.018. Will hopefully find the last 0.6 sec before the deadline but there are so many places to mess it up. I keep finding new ones...

For now though I'm off to celebrate the New Year. Happy New Year everyone.

 

[MadMax]

I did a few "final" setup changes based on feedback.

Now it's easier to drive and accelerates faster.



The lap is in the vod right before this clip and replay from 3rd person view right after.

No more tuning , only hotlapping.

 

[AstroVex]

Okaaaayy! I'm back in gold territory, but not by much. 6:54.2xx right now... Keep on pushing guys!!!

 

[Vule]

Well, considering that before this TT I have never driven on this track and it was a total unknown, plus the fact that I hate to drive the NSX from the bottom of my heart, no matter the setup, I guess I can be very happy with silver this time

I'm sure I can gain maybe 2 or even 3 seconds if I hook up THE lap, but gold is for sure out of reach for this round.
