I tried it at 8:01 this morning.
I hear what you are saying! I get a little frustrated by some of the choices made and sometimes feel a little unimaginative. But that’s the beauty of time trials. All I’m saying is that we should always give them a chance and not write a combo off straight away as usually there joy to be had and skills to be learnt ☺️
100% agree.
Lol, how did you get 9 bad laps? Don't worry mate I ran 15 laps and messed up 10 of them this afternoon. I'm sure @Dolph Drago will not like the looks of this one. There's so many factors and things you have to consider here at Croix, some places are narrow and you can easily hit the wall. Some corners are tricky, I tell you that course map comes in handy. It lets me know what's coming up and I can sense when and what direction to turn. It's a nasty VGT car when the TCS is set at 0. I spun out midway during 3 of my runs.
I don't think we appreciate quite how ridiculously stable the playerbase numbers are; every time they put out a Gr.4 or new content TT there's 180k playing it, and they almost have to deliberately put out a hard/disliked combo for it to drop below 150k. And it's been that way for almost two years now.
... so i had to try because i'm baquette man....
You'll enjoy it. You like this kind of car. You'll be frustrated at first but it'll come to you. It's a pretty annoying but also very fun trial in my opinion. When you blow a lap you can just drift your way around a bit and have some fun. I like that in a time trial. 🤷♂️👍Finally Friday. I plan on starting with the GTR this evening. Looking forward to it. After reading through all you guys comments, I know its not going to be an easy one.
See you guys on the leader boards
Definitely sounds like my kind of a time trial. I'm hoping the frustration of finding my rhythm doesn't take too long. As of lately, it takes me a little longer to find my groove. Been so out of it all.
Soooo......
With all trash talk about the space-ship on fictive French grounds i made the choise of starting a lap with it, each year i'm off to the south of France tanning up and have fun at the French riviera dreaming of nice slidy roadcars while hearing the sound of the sea and the seegulls...
Speaking of baquettes, the car has the same shap as is, and i was preparing for it to handle the same as one getting it barehanded fresh out of the hot oven...but....
It's not so bad after all indeed!, besides that i absolutely despice the track because of it's off camber blind corners and weird entrypoints i kind of enjoyed this morning playing with this combo.
First laps were all red, than finally had a first valid lap of 42.5xx close to gold but yet baquette length away....
Then started to understand the baquette a bit, .... it just needs patience and it doesn't like throttle midcorner, if you give some it makes you feel like a washingmachine, you can keep a little steady throttle midcorner so you can feed it more gently on exits, but jeezzz this is delicate without TCS.
Then finally had a sort of descent run, mist a lot of apexes still and don't even start on that last corner, i hate it, i have no idea where to brake, same goes for that full pull round corner at the end of the lap.....
But not to shaaaabbyyyy for a first look at 1:40.670,
But @Dan_Tes come on man, you make us look stupid here

Yeah exactly, that was my point: unless you are at the very very top end of players skill-wise, TCS will have hardly any measurable negative impact on your performance. I am near the top 500 with TCS 2 currently, and it is definitely not the traction control that's holding me back from being faster.
