Time Trial Discussion

[Gomario JSP]

Haha I'm 64th atm. I think at least .6xx's will be needed for top 100 for this one. I don't know I will have time, energy or skill to get there...But eventually my inner voice says you will beat my current time soon🤙

I doubt that mate, as for now I think I must be happy to get into the 27's and still need to have a solid lap, I'm still way to inconsistent lapping, to many restarts....to many curb flying action 🤣🤣..... we will see where we end up but I think you are save from me on this one mate! 🙏👽

Yes.....let's keep @Gomario JSP away 🤪

1.27.999 Good combo, much better than the last two the car is pretty easy

 

[Tidgney]

Great to hear so many of you being helped by my ghost and guide! Sorry this one is 1 day later than normal, but I got home from Holiday at 4:30am this morning! As I've done 1,000,000 laps of Laguna (Slight exaggeration) I was straight on it but the last few tenths are tricky.

but the last few tenths are tricky.

And the very last few tenths require ASM it seems

 

[Leon Kowalski]

Whoohoo! A fun one this time for a change!

Well, I'm not able to bark with the real big dogs here, but:

1. happy that I can finally use my only car with a completely self-made livery:

2. almost happy with the result:

Gold already below 1:30.

Still hope this will do. No assists or TCS. Curious how ASM helps. If i find time i will try it.

This morning exactly at 7:00, I posted my PB, also golden lap.
That was my first real try and pb came after only 11km...

After that I couldn't find good lap, not at morning and not at evening session.
I'm at 2.97% now, after TX3_Lewis took first place.

 

[Gogga]

My first stint with the VW. Nice to have a decently powered fwd to hotlap.
You guys on my friends list are absolutely flying 🔥

Ye I do hate these random driving aids that exist! I've not tested it (Nor do I want to, reminds me of the GT Academy days where it was handbrake vs no handbrake) but I think at the moment its beatable without it.

 

[ZEE]

This was my first crack at it still need to refine as the car likes to bounce around the bumps and understeer on laguna seca corners.

I agree, that's why I don't use them much unless it is an emergency where I'm completely frustrated on the track/challenge. And the type of car it provides. The only things I use are the driving markers to let me know when to brake and turn.

Good morning friends! I’m back from work and up much much much later than planned, more on that in a minute…!

P16 with that Skoda, how ironic that it’s a car I’ll probably never drive again and only rented might get me my highest ever placing! 🤣 maybe I should buy one to say thank you?!?

Just a few laps today at LM in that supercharged milk float and yeah… I really feel this one! I managed to post a PB but then had a two hour interlude after getting an AuroraWatch warning… very rare to get Northern Lights down here so I took my opportunity in the wonderful evening weather!

Back to LM for a few laps and yeah… 2:14.xxx feels very doable 👀 I’d love to commit to this one and try and beat that P16 🤓

It’s Eurovision party tomorrow so probably no lapping! Nice to be back 😎 I’d imagine the competition at Laguna Seca will be HOT!!

 

[ScottPuss20]

I took what I thought was a bad line through the left-hander after The Corkscrew, but the time says otherwise. I honestly thought I'd stuffed it because I went out wide on exit but it must've made the difference.

 

[Dolph Drago]

Did a little curb hopping in turn 3, but a pickup of 3 tenths from yesterday. Still behind @Gomario JSP who has fully made his transformation into an alien over the past couple of months and the ever-so-annoyingly-fast @Evilmuffin.

That aurora view is awesome.

I just wonder what if you did more than just a “few” laps . I worked my ass off to get that .2xx in LM. Just a few laps more and he is in 14’s Life isn’t fair. Damn Aliens

When you say AuroraWatch, did you mean your mother ship alerting you to stop setting better PBs 👽

Tried again this morning. Didn't make any progress. Not with TC1 and not with ASM. I think I'm going to let it rest and see where the gold time lands.

 

[Gomario JSP]

Finally at the end of the session I had some better feeling of the car, changed some gearing and found a bit of a flow.
I hope thats the base of something better, but I have to work my ass off for this one conpared to the electric bastard.....took 'm 300km to nail 1 lap.....pfff...and still mid-friend list 🙈...... all you damn fast guys 🤣🤣

@Dolph Drago thanks mate 😁, I'm in a descent flow indeed at the moment.
.347 is more than descent mate and you planted that seed for the miracle lap what prob. will be a 27 😁

 

[Gomario JSP]

I am a controller users and never realy noticed any difference in use ASM, I know what it is supposed to do in real life, but I just dont feel it in game so never use it 🤣

What does it do for you wheel user?

 

[zjn]

Wow, i did some laps yesterday and knew gold was not out of reach polishing the lap and figuring out the two turns before the Corkscrew, but... wasn't really expecting this... i'm touching heaven right now and I'm happy to share the moment woth you

 

[Jeje6410]

what not to hear here !!!! 🤣🤣🤣

I haven't tried it myself with scirocco but just guessing it might help with the wheelspin? Anyone?

 

[seadog777]

Another week, another surprise! Sneaked into silver at Maggiore somehow - 4.69%, hope that will be safe as likely travelling again next week. I switched ABS to off and was shocked at the amount of squealing when braking hard...... was a bit softer with the pedal after that and managed a PB

 

[Jeje6410]

I don't use ASM with DS5 for this TT and all other TT. Just for the TT74 with KTM X-BOW and I don't try with wheel 🤔🤔.
The first in the ranking uses it but frankly I don't know if it changes much...

What a relief I don't wake up seeing some Dutch guy being 1/100th faster than me 🤪

Joking aside, this is one of those TT that is not that hard to get a decent time, but like what Tidg said....the last few tenths are really hard to gain.

 

[330_D]

Nothing scientific and I'm far from your time but the switch to ASM gained me almost an immediate half second. Took 3 laps. I hit a 28.5 after being stuck at high 28s for about 45 minutes. It could be that I just found my groove at the same moment, though. Always hard to tell.

🤣 still way more TT' were I can't get near you muffin, 👽....but you bring out the best in me 🫣😂

Yes sub prob. 28 is doable but man it's hard, and I feel every TT gets harder to be on the first page because everybody seems to be buying a flying saucer these days 🤣🤣

Whether it’s your groove or not, it’s encouraging mate. I will share my experience with it later today.

Lol, my favorite muffins are chocolate chip.

EDIT: new PB of 2'19.991! I used a top 10 driver's ghost to achieve this time.
