playing with vr, unfortunately this car has no clear red line in cockpit view. I'll figure this one out
500K reward for a bronze time at GV - and it's a 20% cutoff instead of 10. Unless you're one of those lucky souls for whom the credits no longer matter of course...
Good idea, I wish I’d not bothered with GV but even though I didn’t think the car suited the track I had great fun in it the X2019 at RA which didn’t feel long ago at all. Unfortunately as I’ve moaned about before, the physics update has ruined the feel of this car along with other lightweight cars. My guess is that steering weight has some direct correlation with weight on wheels and hence why light cars feel like they are on ice with no feel whatsoever. The X2019 is magnified by the huge downforce it produced so in low speed corners there is no feel whatsoever and at speed it’s like steering an oil tanker.
It’s “competitive” because the we're in a Gr.4 car and the lap is 74 seconds with very few corners.
I’d say the Mazda is pretty easy, for reasons already mentioned above concerning the 155 at Watkins Glen. The same reasons can be applied here. Amplified too. Pretty sure you can do it. The car is slow, the track is very short, just 60 seconds in a car of this speed. Might take a few times to get some okay consistency through T1 but it’s T1 so you can easily just restart. Rest of it is just keeping the car under control for a few corners and that’s it. Go right next to the barrier as you end the lap obviously, but I think everyone knows that by now.
Easy, but not as easy as some of the other Gr.4 events. Mazda one is TT102, ranked 85th most difficult at present.
Honestly, the Mazda and Alfa TTs are on the easy side. Golded the Alfa on lap 6 (once I figured out how to avoid unvalidating each lap) and less than 20 laps with the Mazda, once I figured out how to take T1 somewhat decently.
TT 5 really shows how knife edge the CoD is at seaside 🤣
Dont sell yourself short - if a punter like me can get bronze, im sure you can too.
Don't think he posted any interim results this time.
I didn't do interims (was on holiday), but to find 8,000-9,000 times, go to the source: 8,001 to 9,000To echo what others have said, the NR-A@Suzuka East combo is really easy too. I’m already more than a tenth into gold region after less than 2 hours of trying just now, and I’m not even in my best state of play today. Car and track feels really enjoyable too. 👍 A really rewarding TT for a SR S/bottom-DR D driver, and I feel I can almost offer some advice/pointers to somebody struggling to reach gold on a wheel.
In fact, I found it so easy, I’m tempted to see if I can go for a top 10,000 time when it closes. Can anybody here tell me what is the time required for a 8,000-9,000th ranked time at the current moment? I know @half_sourly keeps a record of the results of each TT, and that sometimes include interim results around a week into the TT, but I can’t seem to find the post for this MiatZuka combo, here or over at the results leaderboard thread, so if somebody can link me to the relevant post I would be grateful for that too.
