Time Trial Discussion

[manou]

I'm only just in gold (for now), but have found TC0 and CSA Strong to work quite well to control the beast. I tried TC1 along with CSA for a while but couldn't really tell the difference.

I'd honestly recommand TC1 for this one. Since the last few updates TC1 is more like TC0.5 aka just a life saver in emergency cases. It's not restraining you, but may save you in a desperate save before a spin. And on a 6+ minutes lap, and for my sake, I use TC1 (6:20.3 for reference).

Without a shadow of a doubt, this will not hold. Made 3 fatal mistakes in this run, 1 in each carrousel. Can't tell what's the deal with the carrousels and this car, I either overshoot them or go too slowly.

Agreed, carrousels are really hard with this one, those are the two main points where I lose so much time compared to the aliens.

long time no talk, can't wait to be able to try the new tt.

happy laping

Thanks for the tip! Could you clarify a bit? When you say "use your own car," did you have any in mind? I was thinking a blue one with 19" wheels and a spoiler. Do you think that would work? Or is there a specific reason avoiding top/meta cars might help with improvement? Would love to understand more!

What's really important is that you learn which way the track goes next and don't turn left when you should be going right, and not to drive too fast through the corners for a fast time.

Oooh, free choice of Gr. 4 cars in this one! Love love love.

Only a bad final exit cost me a 2.05.xxx.... I love this combo. If anything, it pays to be brave here as track limits aren't that bad 😊

Gonna spend quite a bit of time on this one I think. Maybe the G70 is the meta for now but I'll thrash a few cars around here for some fun

Thank you. I tried it again last night with TC1 this time (and still CSA) and cut a bit more off my time (to 6.21.399), while properly messing up two corners. It may be psychological, but having TC1 set gives a bit more confidence.

That was my reaction to the S2000 on comfort tires, I love Gr4, so I guess everyone has something to cheer about now

 

[Tidgney]

Here's this week guide! I think this is one of the easiest ones we have had so far (Please don't hunt me down if you think otherwise)?

 

[ZevZoq]

... this is one of the easiest ones we have had so far

I'll be the judge of that thank you!

Hi guys (and Greek traitor)

Good to be back in Italy with this new TT on the shores of Lago Maggiore (Lake Maggiore for the non Italian speakers).

I agree with @Vule about Gr.4 (my fav category too) and with @Tidgney (this one is really easy to gold).
I've started with the Hurracan (almost an Italian car, right?) and right after 100 kms, I've scored in 2:06:

My first optimals are always optimistic:

so....

ATTACK!!!

Wouldn't be able to catch you if I tried, mate.

Well a quick daily marathon on the controller has me fairly well-seated in silver territory in the new event so yeah this is likely one of the easy ones...

Yeah, the car fits perfectly as it is as italian as the Lago Maggiore... To me it sounds and feels much better than Audi and swiss but that's personal taste and no offense... 🏁🇮🇹

I appreciate the variety of cars and will try anything but the Meta first. This TT looks really promising. 👍

Dunno if the Hurracan is a meta here, but I'm really comfortable with this one.

Have fun, my friend and can't wait to see you in yellow territory!!

First 10 laps stint at LM with a Gr.4. Used the Silvia because I like this car, and I saw a few in the top 100 so she must not be too bad.

Quickly went up to my limit and circled around after that.

There are some tricks to get here and there (just watched @Tidgney's lap guide) but it won't be easy to gain much more.

May be gold is possible, as always, if I dedicate enough time to it.

 

[A_Higher_Place]

Wheeyyyyy Bessie! Smooth as cheese curd. Dair-I say this is a fun one. GTPlanet will cream the leaderboard. Udderly stomp them, even.

 

[half_sourly]

I've just realised I put the interim updates in the wrong thread. Oh well, they are over here.

• no with 20% threshold shown for the 'ring one. Thanks @Eggstor
• and @SPDN Stefano you're back in! Sorry about the wrong deletion. @StevenSpiegel you are now out as requested.

Hi guys (and Greek felon)

......

.....

I've changed the livery of my Bull for something more... bestial

and apparently, someone had the same idea, the same car, and almost the same score:

So, if you are looking for a winning combo, follow the Bull!!!

Anyway, I've entered the 2:05 Club:

S1: 35.528 - Nothing to declare here
S2: 30.932 - Nothing to declare...
S3: 28.066 - Nothing to...
S4: 31.181 - Nothing...

If you want to follow my lovely cow:

Guess what? I'm violently happy!!!


Happy lapping, folks!!

Yessss, show me the milky way!!

 

[eggmann]

I'll stick with the TT Cup Car in the newest TT as long as I can keep it in gold range. It's a treat to race a car somewhat resembling my daily driver.

 

[Gomario JSP]

haha how the h*ll is my first lap this morning with the Ferrari still gold???
Hanging on a thread though

[Evilmuffin]

Yeah...this new one is pretty easy. Got into the 05s in about 7 laps.

I need to do the S2k again since I didn't touch it after the exploration 3 laps. It is sitting at 2.99% atm 🙈🙈

This great score should hold till the end, you can relax here and focus on Bathurst...

I like this This was a very nice lap if I may say such a thing?

Fantastic score!!!!

Apparently, using your own car instead of the meta/top cars was a great tip...

On another note, you're just up the road from me. Hello neighbour!

 

[A_Higher_Place]

Mo0o0o0o0ovin' into the top 100. Still lots of time to milk outta this one.

 

[Lomic]

Yeah...this new one is pretty easy.

Meanwhile here on earth 🤣

Tried the "meta" and been slower than with the Silvia overall, had one lap faster than my previous best but not valid...

Medium and optimal are worse than with the Silvia too.

Need to try something else, but I am lightyears away for now.
