Time Trial Discussion

[TumeK5]

I looked at the top 1000 and could only find 4 Lancers , everyone else was in the WRX.

You might think that, but there are in fact a few GT-R's in the mix, easily missable due to the identical car name length

Edit: nvm I only found one following a quick search. I saw quite a few earlier on. There's also one 155 and RCZ in the top 1000 as well.

0:55.826

Think it’s my absolute best. Lost time again in this last corner from hell 😅

 

[RacinLei]

@max351

Your replay make me confident that i will hit the 55. 30,78-30,85 first sector more or less constant. Only the last corner left to master.
So close 😭

 

[NevilleNobody]

I had a feeling this would be an easy one, ran a 56.7 so well within gold right now. That last corner though, man, what a pest. I am definitely finding the very wide and late line faster for that last corner, really square up the corner so to speak.

 

[gd224]

Was just inside gold on Monday, now I'm just outside of gold (using the WRX). Just need to get a better line into the last corner and I should have it. May try a few of the oddball Group 4 cars that I haven't driven yet (like the Citroen).

Got my Time down too a 56.021 , sadly with a muck around account lol , still counts , Loaded a new ghost in and sticking with it. If you see MaGranMa and YourGranMa on the leaderbords it is I

 

[ColinNZ]

Gained gold time with the Citroën and the RCZ. Also got my WRX time down to a 56.599 (it was a bit of a scrappy final corner, so I think I can get a much lower 56).

I might try the Hyundai next.

57.209, about 1/10s into the gold.
Still too dangerous, but I have about 0.4 in the belt. Hopefully I will be able to put them on the road.

Last turn is still a nighmare, as I cannot understand where the apex is

I'm fastest going in wide while rotating the car not too late. Apex is blind and about 2/3 along the inside curb. It helps to ease off the throttle coming in on the right hander prior, slightly cutting the curb before straightening out while staying as far right as possible before braking into the last turn. Someone explained it earlier in the thread, which helped me a lot to find a line that works for me.

 

[ikon_313]

My approach to the last turn (or last 2) was to cut the curb up the hill (avoided the grass), then make sure my car was pointing fairly straight and brake at the end of the curb, downshift to 2nd and let the car take it’s time to rotate toward apex before shifting up to 3rd and smash the throttle on apex. (Going on throttle too early makes the car understeer alot on exit, and if it cause you to adjust/lift on exit you’ll lose ALOT of time on the straight).
Got 0:56.245 so far. Might try again before it ends.

@zijn maybe this helps

Go wide, really wide. If you try and take a normal line you understeer off or delay the throttle, broke late and wide, square up the corner, get on the throttle asap at the expense of mid corner speed.

Easiest track for gold but lowest participation hmm.

Still a week to go and participation is already above 7 of the previous TTs.

Edit to avoid a double post. Here are the midweek stats.

 

[ColinNZ]

Got the gold time with the Hyundai (57.2), and smashed it with the Genesis G70 (56.7). The Megane Trophy has defeated me, however. I ended up a tenth off the gold time after 20 miles.

 

[Galvston]

these are harder than the ole seasonal events from gt5

 

[JasonMcDonald]

Agree this is the easiest one so far.
Hit Silver on my first approach.
I hope I secured Gold with a 56,8 with the Alfa.
I guess the Pobric lab is near perfection.
A little strange for me is the overwhelming WRX infestation in the Top 1000 are not even 10 other Cars …I could feel a little rage by the other manufacturers about this “balancing“ 😇😅

It's balanced for me..... I do as poorly in that one as any of the others...... 🤣

Sorry was going off last set of stats that were up, where do I find the info? Is it online?

 

[half_sourly]

The information is here. You might have to change country (flag at the top) to see it.

 

[Thorson1987]

Chances of staying gold?

I might get a chance to play tomorrow morning but otherwise we are going away on Monday morning so won't get to play again until the Monday after.

Would have got under 57 but stuffed up a bit on that damn last corner.

 

[MMX]

Finally got gold today myself, with what was not that spectacular of a lap, but the planets aligned on the last turn, and resulted in a 57.117. Probably as good as these old hands are going to get.

 

[seadog777]

Wow, that's a surprise. I'd got about a tenth off my previous best using the Alfa (my previous first choice) but that was it.
Just for fun on a lazy Saturday morning decided to take the Citroen out...... and knocked just under a second off my record!
What a lovely, smooth car! Thought when I tried it before it was bit slow, but that was me.... 🤣

 

[mikeerfol]

I was away for Christmas so didn't really bother with the Nurburgring time trial (I only did a few laps which were good enough for Bronze), nice to have an easy one this time around. I struggled with the final corner as well but it's not like I tried many times since it was easy to get gold.

 

[zaxs]

Just lowered my time by two tenths and now is 56.596
Within second with n1, this won't happen again, almost sure in that.

Here it is:

I guess your chance staying on Gold is very high 👍
The math is 57.024 /1.03 results in a (under) 55.363 to kick you out .
This looks nearly impossible.
Off course some of the usual suspects don’t show up so far but who knows that for sure by all the alts.
I’am pretty sure you can relax.

 

[AshenGraey]

I settled for bronze at the nurb and I'm quite happy this is on the easier side....after a few tries, I got myself down to 57.023...my optimal was 56.7 but that last corner keeps eating my time. I don't intend to keep going at it so I'm hoping this will be safe enough to keep the gold.

 

[Ian JB]

Hi,

I am going to have to stop at 56:469 before I take a bulldozer to that last corner! :-)

Best regards to all here.

Ian.

The math is 57.024 - 3% results in a (under) 55.313 to kick you out .

It's OK. Just to be safe I got my time a bit lower.

 

[jmopborba]

Pushed myself to my absolute limits in terms of racing, as I was challenged by a close friend of mine. We are fighting each other to find out who can stand out on top.

Currently on the 0:56:391, something I thought I would never be able to do.
I think I can still snatch 0.1/0.2, but the 0:55:xxx is clearly out of my reach and ability.

Still very proud.
