Time Trial Discussion

[PlanetJanet]

Yeah i'm frustrated they do it this way, looks like a fun one to me, but we can't compete
realy strange way of implementing multiple trials this way

Agree. As a raging Brit it doesn't affect me this time but it seems a strange way to restrict special events.

Welcome to the club

I'm almost always without TCS on Dualsense btw, and it's doable for almost any TT.
most of the time i like to have a feel of power delivery and most of the time feeding throttle on higher powered cars is a lot quicker than running TCS, plus, i like driving more without it, if you push to much you pay the price

What do you mean by, "Pay the price"?

It's all down to the sponsors. We Brits couldn't do the Porsche challenges because that was restricted to a deal with Porsche's US division.

Most of the time we have to deal with rwd cars, push to hard results in oversteer, so if you push to hard you'll ending up backwards

Fair. It's a shame though!

Well I'm stuck in the mid 49's at Alsace, I keep trying to push harder for a lower time but something on the track always blocks and slows me down or either I'll run into the wall/apex.

Yeah indeed, the US porsche challenges looked so much fun, i could't do that either

 

[Sir Crashalot]

Well, I'm waiting for the KTM TT which will only be open for Austrians then....🇦🇹😉

 

[Chris30]

Well I could enter because I was born in North Carolina so I'm originally from the U.S.

****** internet here, triple post, sorry!

What was your time at the Alsace-Test course? Mine is 0'49.631. I'm trying to get to silver but I'm missing a trick here.

 

[Barareklam]

On the subject of TCS from the last page, do the fastest people have it at 0 for all events or do they use a little for some cars/combos? I found it easier and faster to be at 0 for the 918 at Atlanta, and this Alsace TT, but the Merc at Interlagos without TCS is a big pain in the proverbial. I'm currently much faster with TCS at 1.

not fastest but getting faster times with TC off than TC on, so it is TC off all the time for me

Not fastest...... do we have 2 Barareklam's on this site?, ......... 🤣🤣🤣

Hi All

Been a while since I last posted here. Been lurking now and again though.
I see @Gomario JSP has found the mother ship! Congrats with your amazing pace bro.

@half_sourly kindly add me to the GTP time trial leader boards.

On my first day I got stuck at bronze also. On the next day I managed to get it down to 48:874. Didn't try again since then.
Hope you will reach silver also, keep on trying, good luck!

As I am back home with only 1 day left as Alsace I couldn't work it out by myself. So after warming up with GTR and 458 I chose the new Mazda and the old Alfa. With the approved ghosts from @GlockPants and @P-Courty I got rather quick into golden terrain. Otherwise the Circuit Experience (CE) helps a lot.

@GlockPants + @P-Courty : Guys, we need to talk. Seriously you're getting faster and faster and not too far away from now your ghosts will only flash shortly on my screen... ⚡Congrats to your awesome lap times! I start looking for new friends to compete with as I'm the same as I ever was.

 

[Touring Mars]

I managed a solid silver time at the Interlagos TT using the controller - I will try again with the wheel to see if I can make any improvement, but still over 1s away from gold there.

I was quite surprised by my silver time - I managed to take off a massive 1.2s from my previous best, mainly by nailing the left-hander where the TT starts originally. Nailing that properly and carrying speed all the way to the start-finish line makes a monumental difference.

You are incredibly fast, hats off to you.

 

[NAXEHT]

Only UK.

 

[MidnightRun85]

Literally the only way I'll ever beat you. 🤣

I hope they didn't forget to add snow tires😄 Maybe snow chains also?🤔

Correct and there will be... drum roll... comfort chains, sport chains and racing chains
