Time Trial Discussion

Didn’t feel like 500th had enough impact to it, so dropped it to 203rd overall………….exactly 1 place and 1 thousandth behind @Dolph Drago. Still 5th 🤣

Oh I see you're already viewing space ships now ready to join the aliens!

Hi, newbie posting for the first time.

My best time on WG is a 1.55:907 using the Silvia. That’s me absolutely rinsing the max out of the car and driving the perfect lap to my ability. I’m sure there are players that will be better but I’m struggling to see how they are 3 secs better! Are the top times genuine?

Check this video.

Bronze in the Valkyrie. 1:23:204. I think ten laps and the first 7 were without boost. I like cars like this. I also don't know this track well enough yet. It's a fun one for me. I'll probably hit a literal and figurative wall soon. 😂

What button is boost ?

 

[Gomario JSP]

I find the Valkyrie such a strange behaving car, and for me it's not really pad friendly 🤣
There is NO deadzone on the throttle in mid corner, if I only smell the R2 trigger it understeers 🤣.... I'm jaleouse of you guys here that find it pleasant to drive.

This is going to take a lot of time for me to adapt and I hope that I am going to like it in the end....for now...... I don't know yet 🤣

Did a 18.5 but with TCS on 1, I have NO idea how these top dudes exit in second out of the hairpin without TCS, the clip of DG above makes it look so smooth, I'm on ice af. 🤣🤣

I have some study to do! 😁

I don't know what it is for pad, but it should be the button you have mapped for nitrous.

 

[Blayney]

I think you might have to go into the button map to set it. I have mine on O and then I have that mapped to my right back paddle add on.

 

[330_D]

I read somewhere earlier it was the R stick but push the button. I tried it. Ludicrous speed engaged. It actually mostly just keeps me from concentrating. I have enough trouble with these stupid buttons and new fangled analog joysticks. I really can't wait to get myself a wheel. It'll improve the hand eye timing. I'm a heavy equipment operator by trade so I'm good with the reflexes but man I have trouble with my abused hands on these little controllers. I've used them for hammers for too many years for them to be scalpels now.

Spent the whole evening lapping RBR. Lost count of how many times I spun but managed to improve my previous best by over two tenths. Now at 1:17.210. A sub 17 might be possible.

 

[Evilmuffin]

Did a 1:18.508...should be safe for gold. Not sure I will try to best it....will see.

Ok I lied 😂 With the gold time dropping, I can't help but tried again for a safer time.

R3 press down the right stick, you can change it in the [options] [controllers] menu, if you prefer other way to use the overtake.

Edit.

And the aliens is not done with this one yet, I'm finally into the 19's, still not sure if silver is secured...

 

[Jeje6410]

There, it's over for today. It's getting late, very late !!! Not yet the gold medal but not that far. 1'18'969 with an optimal time at 1'18'575. Tomorrow my eyes will be much more open than now !!!! 🤣🤣

 

[AshenGraey]

Only 30 mins of play time for now and another 4 laps at BH got my time down to 1.42.5xx with a 1.41.8xx optimal so it's not too difficult I guess...I had a 1.43.6xx before so I thought it was going to be a whole lot more work. In any case, I'll keep chipping away at it to try and get gold and then I'll try the Valkyrie at RBR

 

[zjn]

i'm hyped about this one, should be fast screaming eating tracklimits full of downforce

if you add "hammer on the big toe" you may have a fairly exhaustive list of things I don't like

Correction: want also to add pushing the damn button

Now the list is complete

 

[Dolph Drago]

Ludicrous speed engaged

 

[kowalski__1]

Yikes!, dropped over 1400 spots in a matter of a few hours,cushion was down to .056 at RBR.
Went back and improved a bit to 1:18.609...... .212 cushion for now.

 

[Dolph Drago]

I'm having trouble coming to grips with the Valkyrie. The best I've been able to muster is a 1:18.514. 2.6% off the #1 which does not feel safe and well off where I've been the latest TT's. I think what's hurting me in this particular TT is my controller set up. I'm still old school using X and square for gas and brake. It's nearly impossible to put down the power coming out of turn 2 3 because I can't be gradual getting on the throttle. Instead I have to continually tap the gas (basically 100% gas, 0%, 100%, 0%, etc), leading to wheelspin city. Add in overtake and the problem gets amplified.

I may go back to BH for a bit while it's still going on, not that it's any less of a struggle. I've yet to come close to my best time from day 1. That thing goes from loosey goosey to plowing tight at the snap of the finger.

 

[2Quickrides]

Was quite apprehensive about trying the Valkyrie, as I’m not a fan of the super formulas in the game and expected this to handle very much like them. I was sooo wrong. I think, dare I say, I kind of, maybe a little, like it.
Spent 9 laps struggling with it stuck at 2.99% and wondering why no matter how early I got on the throttle I was being left in the dust by the ghost. Then remembered……….DRS!!!! Idiot!!!!! Lol. 2 laps later. 🤦‍♂️

So anyway, long story short, it’s actually possible to Gold even without DRS. Lol. But it is worth at least half a second.
Also, remember DRS equals speed, which equals earlier braking points🤦‍♂️

Happy saturday and July everyone !
It's Le Mans Classic....

 

[manou]

Big session last night, golding both TTs.

Genesis brand hatch : 1:41.395
Valkyrie red bull : 1:18.430

Both should be safe ?

 

[787Bee]

The gold time on the Red Bull Ring - I think the exit from corner two could be better and shave it down 0.2-0.3. The rest of the lap was very tight

Yes, it's should be ok (great scores^^)

Yes, that's fine. By the way it is also 24h @spa... ( my favourite track of all!)

 

[Gomario JSP]

First real stint with the Valkyrie, I did 165 km on BH this morning and almost 200 in the Valkyrie.

I takes more laps for me to get into the zone of consistency here for some reason, and never collected more penalties BEFORE the timer starts than here. Like we saw in F1 qualifying yesterday , it's just the same 🤣

I wanted to master the Valkyrie on DS4 with all here power, so started without TCS this morning, man i needed a lot of laps before I even could set a time, but after a few laps it got a little better trying to understand it's behaviour on power delivery..

2 things that I was doing wrong in the first place..

1: To early on the overtake button, just use it for speedbuilding, not during early exits...you get to much wheelspin without TCS...

2: I was driving it to nerveouse, still do..

Not a great lap but it's a good start, because this is a pain in the butt on pad!

@Dolph Drago if you can set a fast time as you always do on X throttle you deserve a real medal on this one , I already have the same problem on trigger, let alone the X button

1:18.276 for now

 

[zaxs]

Improved my time to 1:20.356 and now I'm at 5.00% - but still bronze bcs silver is 352

I drove one lap of 1:19.5xx, but it was "red", because of penalty on last turn

At least I know I can better.

 

[RacinLei]

Still room for improvements. But what a Beast. One of the rare MR cars that handle like a MR car. Well done PD.
Only ABS 🦾

Well done indeed PD and well done Racinlei
Awesome laptime! 🍾😁

 

[ikon_313]

1:18.4 after a first long stint of 140km with Valerie. Quite the hand full and I really struggled to get under 1:19 for the first 100, but being less aggressive makes the car handle quite nice. Bit annoying having to restart every 3 laps when the DRS runs out – kills the flow.

Also, I really like how the car turns in after the left analog stick update. Steering feels a bit softer but more accurate in a way. Easier to keep stable but also easier to rotate. How's the controller update feel to you other pad users?

 

[RacinLei]

Best controller feeling since launch 👍🏻

 

[AshenGraey]

Finally got some time to spend on the TT this morning. 18 laps split between 4 different restart. at BH, currently sitting at 1.41.2xx with optimal at 1.40.9xx. I got my best time after the in my second session so I kept trying to go below the 1.41 but I can't seem to nail all the sector when it matters....oh well, hope I'm good there for gold at BH. Time to go try the Valkyrie.
