Time Trial Discussion

[Steer]

The track is short so easy enough to learn. For me, this new one is all about nailing the last chicane complex. I was losing a tenth or two elsewhere in the lap, but huge chunks of time in that last section. Currently on a 1:05.1 which should be good for gold, but plenty of scope to improve still.

I like these old cars that handle like actual cars and are not on rails around corners.

 

[Fezzik]

Very short lap and good fun learning how to string the corners together, although I don't recall ever seeing this track before 😅

Usually we do this track in the proper direction. It was used before in a Gr4 TT, and also some daily race As in road cars like the Alpine.

Very content with my silver at RBR given that I logged only 3 laps 😅

I must have forgotten to log a session, seems weird to be in silver with 3 laps albeit following a ghost from @Mistah_MCA

Ah yes I found my other post, I did 3 laps for my first try, then another session with 10 laps this time following @Mistah_MCA's ghost.

So 1M Cr. for 13 laps, not bad

Top 5k is fine for me

22th gold.

Tried new TT and silver with 1:16.533 for now...
Biggest problem is weigh transfer after first esses, where is easy to hit wall from left side.

 

[Touring Mars]

My gold at Sardegna is already hanging by a thread... 😐 I'm less than 0.02s inside now...

this is going to be a VERY close leaderboard

They're going to be packed in like Sardinians...

Do you speak about vandals in sandals?!? Maybe I will add an orange touch to the red... (Actually I am unsure whether I own this beauty.🤔)

RBR was close between us - as always... That's what close friends are all about. 😁 Attack!

[Evilmuffin]

ooooofffff......this one isn't going to be easy. I spent the first 10 laps crashing in the esses...ended up having to lift a bit just to get the line right. I kinda forgot how to drive a road car 🤧

I haven't follow any ghost yet, but getting a good time is going to be a lot of struggle.

How can I say no to a rusty old car? 🤪

This one seems to be fun!

Sardegna C... we had a Gr.4 TT there a long time ago, right? Was an easy one with 2 real breaking points.

Indeed it was, but this time we're going backwards. It's the track reverse alternate.

Barbarians, with a B like Brits... The guys with scandals are goths, not the same tribe

Yes, we are oftenly very close on the leaderboard, with you, @skydragon49 @KAlex122 and some familiar human friends
I would have prefer a sub 10.000 ranking on RBR but I'm ok with my 14th gold and it's not so bad for a combo I didn't like.

 

[ElectricNaz]

Just done about 50 laps on my lunch break!!! Probably only about 10 of those were valid lol.

Eventually down to a 1.05.706, 680th and 2.58% off top.

Got a 1.05.342 in there apparently. Not sure I'll ever be able to string a lap together though. Will give it another go if I need to.... Hopefully not!

Yes, another TT at the Sardegna C track, I remember the Group 4 one there a year ago, I earned silver there using the WRX. So, let's see what I can do here this week. I think PD's staff made the right choice and combo this time. This should be sweet and fun to do the next 2 weeks!

 

[MIE1992]

I think the idea of being assigned a Bugatti at Le Mans is neat, especially if one selects that French blue color for it. I just wonder if we'll get another time trial at Le Mans this June, ideally featuring one of the cars that've won the LM24.

Anyway, the newest time trial featuring the Dino seems like it'll be a blast - definitely looking forward to trying it.

 

[AerodyManiac]

After skipping god-knows-how-many time trials, I may try this one and see how quick I can go competitively. Last time I drove the Dino was in GTS, I think, and I hope it’ll be easier to handle this time.

An appetite is a sure-fire way to race and push hard for the gold time! I've always been that way.

 

[Lomic]

Done my first 10 laps at lunch break, following @Tidgney's ghost. Lots of invalid laps before beginning to get the hang of it.

Finished just under the silver limit for now, 0.5s behind @Pesselles but it won't last.

 

[Interemptor]

This car is harder to drive then I thought. Crashed a couple of times in the wall in Turn 7.
Did around 20 Laps and the times went up and down and up and down 🤣

 

[A_Higher_Place]

The first few go arounds are in! What a lovely and technical drive this is. Nailing the uphill S is incredibly satisfying only to be met with a daunting right hand sweeper that I still haven't optimized. There is more time to be found and I'll definitely have another go at this. Older cars on slippery tyres make me a happy driver!

Good luck everyone ✊🏻

I guess I've been misunderstood
an orange Ferrari, like pizza with pineapple, or carbonara with cream is something that my old style italian mind cannot accept!
😜

But I understand that the world is going to a different direction, so I maintain my composure and act accordingly.

Rosso Dino on a Ferrari, like pineapple pizza, is just perfection.
Grappa is disgusting though.

 

[Touring Mars]

I just tried it with the wheel - what an absolute clown show I am with it here 🤡

Despite managing to get just inside the gold time with the controller, I couldn't even set a lap time with the wheel. I'm not used to using the wheel with slower cars, and boy does it show. I need to work on... well, everything. 😅 The weight transfer is SO much more pronounced when using the wheel, the controller doesn't do it justice - it is so much more realistic, but I'm just so painfully awful with the wheel in this TT that I think I'll stick to the controller.

I was wondering if that was Rosso Dino. I tried it on the Enzo and instantly didn't like it. Haha!

 

[skydragon49]

The only worst thing than pineapple on pizza, is catchup.... Which happens to be very common where I live. 🤢

Where do we go from here?! 😂
