Time Trial Discussion

I was unable to get gold in VR but I was beginning to get close.

I have to say that driving the LFA’10 in VR is glorious. It’s the complete opposite to bumper cam. The car feels intuitive and it’s so much easier to throw around.

I think the challenge in TT though is the lack of splits. It makes it hard to know your progress. Still, I love it.

Looks like I was kicked out of top 100 at the last second. :/

 

[Gomario JSP]

Honestly I was just trying to get ahead of @Gomario JSP but then something clicked and I was doing .8s and .9s consistently. I even pulled a .3s in the first sector once and many .7s last sector.

Yeah yeah...... mighty find....good job... blah blah blah.... 🤣🤣

Have to admit though.... .8xx is a seriously quickly efford mate, I like to think I would have gone .7xx on you....let's just leave it at that 🤣🤣

Very sorry but it's not me, I swear !!!

Watching you lap on my deck with some cofffey and already a burning orange ball .....
I have one word for it.... "tight" 😳🤣
Walls are scarpingly close everywhere
Delight to watch as always, nice job!

I came frustratingly close to achieving another gold last night but just couldn't quite get the consistency to keep the lap together!

Thanks @Tidgney for your lap guide which helped me knock nearly 1s off my previous PB!

Day 3 at Sardegna (day 2 was to forget really) - redemption.

That lap was incoming slowly all evening, coming to grips with the Lexus lap by lap, planned for 100 lap stint and it happened on 99th - phew!
Consistency was pretty bad, but finally managed those three sectors close to optimal.

For my binary input, this is as good as it gets!

Happy to get it done before the physics change which may break the game for me (or not).
Also ahead of some usual (alienating) suspects, so yay!
It's just a glitch in the matrix, so move along...

Wishing for one TT tomorrow, the one Evilmuffin hinted at, that way I would get much needed week off!

Bravo mon ami 👏 👏 👏 👏
You impress me more and more. Chained 100 laps and improved that much, it's pfffff...🤣🤣🤣

I'm chuffed with my result this time around. A new PB but only after a lot of effort, I probably won't touch the Super Formula for awhile. Seeing as I got this time a few days ago, I got time to do the LFA trial too.

This one really surprised me, I initially did about 3 laps in a normal time trial session as I wasn't sure I'd be able to be fast enough to set a good time. I decided I'd be fine, did a 5 lap session and got to a 1:47.280 and then thought "good enough, I'll try again tomorrow." Then as I sat there looking at the screen I decided "ah I'll give it one more go" and I have no idea what happened but I suddenly gained a second in the last few turns. I think I could have gone faster but I couldn't be bothered learning what it is I'd actually done, and it would be awkward if I did better on this time trial than on the Fuji one I spent so long trying to perfect. So no more than 10 laps and a time good enough for 301st (at the time) and I'm happy, even if it was a fluke. In the end it dropped down to 423rd, but that's pretty damn good for me too. I can't believe I broke my PB on the leaderboard twice at once. Too bad now that I've got the physics figured out they're changing.

I'm hoping I finished within Gold category as I was just a few hundredths off the Gold limit marker. It would be an achievement for myself to get Gold. Silver was always on the cards for myself but Gold is a sweet surprise if my time of 1:47:454 still was in Gold category.

The wall is near!!!!

The wall is near!!!!

Where there is a wall, there is a way!

Not for the TT only for crash and bang races!!!!!

 

[zaxs]

In the end, I earned two silvers.
Happy with that bcs I'm aware that I just didn't have enough skill for gold this time.

Like the both new TTs.
I'll need some time to learn Eiget again (CE), though I forgot it from GT5.

 

[ElectricNaz]

End the time trial now please 😂😂😂

Never had a replay saved to the leaderboard before!!!

 

[tmtk]

Did you just drive 100 laps back to back????? That's like....3 hrs 😱😱

Bravo mon ami 👏 👏 👏 👏

That 100 laps... not exactly back to back, with breaks (and chilled white wine ). Yeah, the timer clocked 3 hours, but over some 6 hour period.

In my case, this is the amount of work I need to put into a time trial to get a result like that. And it's not given, it involved some luck factor to get it in lap 99. I'm more erroneous than consistent, so mostly I just don't get it in that "100 laps".


That Lexus got under my skin:

(All day, all day) watch them all fall down
(All day, all day) domino dancing

Tokyo will be a nightmare! But Eiger Nordwand, yes please!!

Love the flowing nature of the Expressway but why in the hell SM tyres?????

I'm not a fan of Tokyo. I ALWAYS hit a wall somewhere, unless I'm driving like an old man in a hat on a Sunday through a nature reserve.

At what rpm do you guys shift the Ferrari Scuderia?

Tried that earlier and again now, nothing there. Tried some other countries too, as well as deleting cookies. Odd. I'll for the switch-off-switch-on trick.

Ctrl + F5

Ctrl + F5

Did the trick, thanks.
That is a new one to me; I know about F5 (usual refresh), but not about the forced refresh. Thanks.

 

[Barareklam]

Sooo... First impressions of Subaru Impreza WRC on Eiger Nordwand ❤️ 10/10
Might be difficult to gold, Shooter joined the game already and is setting really fast times.

Think one gear higher is giving some advantage.

Hopefully not this way 🤣

Answering myself for the moment: currently I'm shifting at about a third of the seeable revbar of chase cam. ABS weak. No other aids. This was my lunch break:
