Lol, how did you do that shot while the car flipped upside down!? That's funny! I guess one of the curbs upset the balance of the car. It's not as bad as the Radical TT we had, remember that one?

WOW me too I'm under the 2mns (Deutsche) mark!!!Finally got inside of the 2mins mark. Optimal was in the 1:59.7s
Have you tried adding a cat? 🤣 It seems to help @EvilmuffinWOW me too I'm under the 2mns (Deutsche) mark!!!
This TT is not as easy as it seems with this German torture machine but less stressing than the Australian walls.

For now, my optimal is 1:54.9xx without ghost, drugs, wheel, or Angela Merkel portrait in my bedroom.
I'm still over a sec from the yellow medal...

So, how is the feel of the car? I'm gonna try it tonight, I'm motivated to earn my third gold. Those curbs are mean, whenever I drive over them they upset the balance of my car and I'll do a wheelie. Or similar to one.WOW me too I'm under the 2mns (Deutsche) mark!!!

I was ready to give up. I had made the switch from the smooth but slow McLaren 650S to the Genesis earlier this week. I knew I was losing tons of time through the Cutting, all the way up the mountain, through the chicane after Skyline, the Dipper and at the exit of Forrest's Elbow. Was this supposed to be my very first silver since starting the game in December?

I decided to watch Tidgney's lap guide again and follow his ghost. Most importantly I decided to suck down my ego and activate TC1 as well as counter steer assist strong. I was struggling with many exits and often losing time through power oversteer.
At some point I started being able to follow Tidgney somewhat all the way up through the Cutting. Then I was brave up the hill and somehow managed to judge my turn in points well enough such that I didn't need to lift too much and also didn't touch a wall. It got close however.

Then I realized that I was braking too much through the chicane after the gantry/Skyline and started braking at 75-ish % approaching the Dipper at about 115 kph rather than my usual 100 kph crawl. Miraculously I didn't botch the Dipper either. Ghost still in sight. Was this finally it? Now Forrest's Elbow. Hit the braking point well and hugged the inside wall tight. Exit wasn't terrible. While I was used to the ghost speeding off into the distance here it wasn't as bad as usual this time. Low 1:32 after the 3rd sector. Don't botch this now. Lost a bit of time in both of the last two corners but it wasn't too bad. I finally made it. Nerve wrecking I tell you. I am not sure if TC was really necessary but I absolutely reccomend counter steer assist in this one to all my fellow non aliens, especially those on pad.

Haha, cool and funny time. I hope I can get a low time, I really struggled at AP, I wasn't able to get a gold time there.Dropped to a lucky time of 1:53.666 @ D.T. 👹
I'm getting ready to try it in a little bit, so how's the Mercedes car?Ran the Dragon a bit, down to 1:59.139. Deep into Bronze, far from Silver. Fun car/track combo.
I find it easy to drive, albeit a little tail-happy. I just cranked up the TCS to mitigate it. Good luck!I'm getting ready to try it in a little bit, so how's the Mercedes car?
I agree the curbs are still quite deadly.I notice the car has minimal grip and it slides a lot so I have to find a rhythm for controlling it the whole lap. And be aware of the curbs. Driving over them a certain way can upset the balance of the car.
Finally! This is more like it. 3rd sector is still a bit iffy....low 52s is possible, 51s is probably out of reach.
