Time Trial Discussion

Just checked and there's no Americas times of any kind on the leaderboard. EMEA and ASOC represented, but not NCSA.

why the heck would we get the "special event" TT but not the standard one that replaces the Lancer event??

 

[Talon16]

I feel like this was a mistake as I've seen nothing that states it's only available in certain regions (which they've done in the past, and it was conveyed as such). Hopefully they realize it and fix it (or better yet, just give us the 2mil!), but not holding my breath.

Improve my time at Suzuka at 1'01'661 with optimal time at 1'01'564

How come I don't see the Mazda TT in my game here??

I did a few laps in the Red Bull with the controller this morning and got a decent bronze so silver shouldn't be a big issue for me.

Gold number 11 for the Lancer TT for me. One more gold and I'll have more gold than bronze in my record (assuming I don't add to the bronze number before that lol)

Same here, I don't see the Mazda TT in my console either, only new one is Red Bull.

 

[Tidgney]

Here's the 2nd guide. Make sure you using traction control for a much easier time with this one!

 

[SPL170db]

I definitely tend to dread TT's or races in this windowmaker, but off to an OK start I guess. At least we know Jeddah won't participate in this thing, haha.

 

[Gomario JSP]

Anyone tried X2019 on Grand Valley and can share how it feels?

this is going to be a long akward silence

 

[SPL170db]

To be fair, it's not AS BAD as I was expecting it to be, especially considering the handful of slow speed corners you have to shoot off from that I hate doing in this thing.


To quote Clarkson....

 

[Talon16]

The Miata event is now on the site for US! can anyone confirm in-game?

 

[Pesselles]

Hi, it's me again (lucky you^^)

Sorry not sorry, I did it again....
Another improvement at Sukuka with the Miata!

S1: 25.905 - not my best S1 so far and clearly some tenths to shave here
S2: 18.246 - same here where I should / could be a bit faster
S3: 17.980 - nearly my best S3 but could be better as well

With 3 excellents sectors in the same lap, the 1:01 is clearly doable for me.

A - - - - K !!

 

[eggmann]

Yes, Miata TT is in my US game now.

Anyone tried X2019 on Grand Valley and can share how it feels?

Dreadful

Maybe it’s just me but I’m having the same problem as the RA272, with the new physics these cars have absolutely no weight or feel to the steering at slow speeds; the X2019 is slightly better as with downforce comes weight but on my wheel it feels completely unnatural when/where the ‘weight’ and feel of the steering comes in. The low speed corners I have no idea whether the car is understeering or oversteering and only a tiny window where it is gripping well. But all that is kinda irrelevant because my lap was already invalidated from touching three grains of sand and my car has crashed off the cliff and is currently at the bottom of the sea

Tempted to try and get a 1:27.xxx (yay I managed it!! Or even a 1:27.xxx. Yay I managed that!! Or maybe a 1:26.xxx 😵) but also tempted to never touch this one again. Especially when the old 80s Corvette with presumably a live axle is more fun to drive than this

 

[Nebuc72]

That's really funny. How do you manage to not give an entire region a regular event.

 

[half_sourly]

I have good news for you.

Well, I'd say it's not the first time this has happened

That time too it took a while to figure out the issue

 

[Jeje6410]

For the last test today in Suzuka improve again my time at 1'01'497

 

[Dan_Tes]

I have good news for you.

Oopsie daisy!!

(Also I see you @Chrome_PuPXD in the 1:26s….!)

Yes mate, I'm enjoying living the high life in the top 10 for the brief time it lasts Never seen my name on the global board until now

Holy cow!!! That’s amazing! What assists did you use if any? At least you know that time will stick and you don’t have to go back if you don’t want to 🤣

 

[Gomario JSP]

Well.... this should hold 🤣🤣
Fun little slide challenge
T1 indeed is a bit strange ....

But PD.... who decided that 1th gear rev limiter start... that just pisses me off 🤣🤣

Thanks man I just used abs on default, no tc.
I thought my abs was on weak but I must have changed it at some point.

I did have to go to 10 on the wheel torque though to get any feeling at low speed. Have thought for awhile the ffb scaling feels off with certain car types, the low speed left in the middle of the lap is a guessing game as to the steering angle required.

 

[Pesselles]

Hi guys (and Greek)

....

....

S1: 25.460... My best so far and I'm now regularly around 25.5xx.
S2: 18.253 - I've left 2 or 3 tenths here because I was too conservative.
S3: 18.029 - Same here where I could save 0.150, I guess.

Compared to my previous PB, I've gained 0.389! I'm already curious to see what my final score will be here.
This combo is really addictive, far more fun than the croatian Vette (IMHO).

And for the record, I've also managed to make the logic being respected (for once):

Don't be too upset @djolliea it's just a game

I don't forget to share my replay for the fans:

Strong agree, hoping that PD will fix the steering weight for formula cars asap…

The Miata is a bit on the light/floaty side but at least it’s consistent and fun to drive.
