Managed a 1:32.785 so far, didn't particularly enjoy this one. I don't like Red Bull Ring at all but the car was somewhat fine, I don't really see myself doing this one again but I feel there is still an extra tenth or more worth of time.

And then there's this one, another combo I didn't really enjoy. I'm not a fan of Monza or EV's so this one was a bit mediocre. I did manage a sub 46 but I definitely could have gotten a better time, my estimate is around a 45.7 but my major issue was "Ascari" and the last turn. Overall though at least Nurburgring was very fun but these two were not really it for me.

I almost feel like Default ABS is a bit faster than Weak ever since the tire model update.

I used to use Default, and then switched over to Weak as I started doing time trials...but the last number of them I have found Default to be faster. Maybe it's just a coincidence?

I have noticed the same. I have been on Default for a while now.

Try ABS Default, it made a very small difference for me at least, I did couple more runs last night before I went to bed

And this was done with a .585 S1 which is more than a tenth off the required pace, but contiuned the lap and did a solid S2 and S3...

Well.... doesn't realy flow to badly latey doesn't it :lol:
Ladies and Gentleman.... he's officially gone and no longer with us :lol:
nice job buddy!

@Dan_Tes Yeah good to have you back mate, now get the h*ll of my leaderboard, your messing things up! :lol::lol: 🫶😘😂
 
Gained another 4 tenths at RBR, and I'm enjoying this one; I can get into a real flow going. Tried the recommended Default ABS but found Weak was still better for me as it seems to stop the car quicker under heavy braking, and thus later braking gained a lot on my previous ghost, which had ABS on Default.

Probably have a couple more tenths in me here, then I might get back to the Nordschliefe

A sub 33 is definitely possible but I don't think it possible on the remote .... apex pixel gambling at the last corner 🤣

Fun ride, i realy like the power delivery, its sketchy but predictable.
Uphill hairpin is a real struggle on throttle.

Done for the evening, wife need attention to 🙈🤣

How many laps did it take you before you hit this time?

Difficult to say because i am realy a restart guy, my approach is always the same when i start a new trial.
Load the fastest ghost available and go full send, most of the time i am already a few restarts further when i have the first corner behind me.
Same goes for the next corners. so most of the time when i eventually set a lap it's then a descent start but also depending on the combo ofcourse.
And on thursdays it's even more difficult to say cause i play on the couch remotely on the laptop while still "be home" for the wife next to me watching on the big tv 😂 and in the morning i already did other timetrials or Powerpack things
This combo isn't realy hard on "lines" but rather a finetuning combo throttle wise, so these type of combo's i mostly set my first bankers within the hour or something i guess while not beeing focused 100%...

Then... on my next session on the TV i start by thinking my last PB was on the crappy setup not focus so i will probl shave of a second..., and it never works that way 😂😂.
From there it's just getting familiar with the combo, build some muscle memory and cramp up the hands due to the controller and try to find little time 😂:);)

But i all honesty, if i like a combo i do invest the time in it, there are definately combo's where i exceeded well over 1000km
i am not the lucky one that drives 10 laps and sets his top 100 for the rest of the trial :lol:

I used to be that way, and then I made the mistake of doing far better than expected at a TT (my first sub-1000 placing with the Corolla GR @ Colorado Springs) and joined here and welp...I even made a comment that I'd likely never place that good again (~700th)

And I didn't, until...301st with the Charger @ Northern Isle, which I thought surely would be my own best placing, never to be surpassed.

You know, until the Polestar 5 @ Brands Hatch where I was 108th...was under 100, but just got kicked out that last night, drove all the way up until it ended trying to get back in, but alas.

But then I got my sub-100 (and alien badge) with the Mine's R-34 at Tsukuba with a 50th place and I think that created my delusions of grandeur. :lol:

I usually like to be around ~1000th place or better, but some combos I know I can do better and will continue to do so.

But it's also why being ~7000th at Nurburgring has me really, really frustrated - expectations I've arguably set too high haha.

Interesting, you've basically listed off the ones I struggled at. It is curious how some guys like road cars or unruly cars and others like grip, I definately do best in high grip cars.

I find it difficult, most of the time, to wrap my head around not slowing down and just trusting the downforce versus slowing down and going way slower. Sometimes I figure it out (188th at Daytona just a couple weeks ago), sometimes not (1264th at Spa, a few weeks before, and that was only after I finally tied an OK lap together).
