1.50.189 🎮 Dragon Tail

I hope one more push and I reach my goal 1.49.xxx.
The last sector constantly mess up my times.
Anyway I like the combo .

I totally second this message (in fact, I could write the exact same post)

E aí? Tudo bem? (That's more or less what a "Hello there" would be in Portuguese.) 😁🇧🇷

Day one in my home turf time trial and the gold zone is unlocked. Plenty of time to be found with a car that's not bad it all to drive.

First PB before editing the post:

Spoiler

Edit: I continued hot lapping and got a new PB (1:27:639 - 2,39%)

I wonder if that's a safe gold already.

ABS Weak, TCS 1.

I'm warming up to it, but this car is definitely alot more of a handful than it feels like it should be on RS tires, and you would think downforce with that rear wing haha.

Chopped down a 1/2 second to 1:27.403.....hopefully that stays safe

So....my first look at the Vulcan thing
It has the character what I did expect from it, long heavy nose and a huge amount of power on softs... welcome to tankslap heaven 🤣🤣

I did a remote session so expect to find some extra time on my first full stint, but for now it's pure fighting until you cross the line, brakes could be a bit better if you ask me, rotation under trailbraking is a bit heavy on the nose but it's definitely a challenge!

Now this one is fun! There's more time to be found next time I sit down with it.

I bashed out the AMR Vulcan TT today and managed to get a decent time, will try to chug to GOLD, but the car is a rightold beast to control!

After a whole bunch of laps in the Vulcan I'm stuck at 1:29.+++ with no improvements in sight. I'm going to watch @Metalgear9493 lap on loop for awhile.

Dont ya mean 1:29 --- How have you done a 1:19??? in the vulcan?

Are you the alien we all havent heard about?

Yep 1:29! I have been at it so long my brain is a bit scrambled.

 

[Dolph Drago]

A sub 1:27 on my first go?

I've used the Vulcan a few times for fun on the weekly challenges, but I never felt it handled that great. Maybe it's the racing softs, but it feels amazing in this TT (if I'm careful on the throttle). And since not all the big guns have turned a lap yet, I'm 3rd on my friends alien leaderboard!

 

[Evilmuffin]

Well...1:27.5s achieved after a 4 laps session. Calling it a day 🙈🙈

 

[2cam16]

I don't own the car so into a rental it was. Good enough for me. Will check back end of next week.

I like this one. It really is a ballet of gentle throttle and brake action.

Got my first stint in the M3.

I love this combo.
Its not the easiest. I've messed a good few laps up with miss shifts.
I know I have another 2/10ths in me....
but DAMN that final sector.
My aim is to get into the 49s before it ends🤞

Nothing about this track is conventional, making it the perfect place for a front engine, rear drive V12 Aston with 820HP. Get it wrong and the car will kill you without hesitation, but if you get it right, you will be rewarded. The craziest thing about this particular lap time is that I was 2 tenths off my fastest sector time in sector 1. But you know what shocked me most? The acoustics. Going up the hill from Juncao, there's a small left, a chicane for motorbikes and then a tyre wall, where you can hear a NEOOOOWWW as the sound reverberates from the left exhaust pipe. Never heard it soo clearly before.

Morning folks!

This morning was all about tarmac, and nice to be there again.
I was caught up plowing snow all the time at louise, I even neglected my M3 at DT with only 2 sessions.
So it was good beeing out there with grip for a change 🤣

About grip..... yeeezzz the Vulcan.... sometimes it has loads of grip and sometimes it just doesn't, it sometimes feels like tires cool down faster than they heat up, and once you go .....you die..
That initiall torque slide is correctable but ones the revs are higher it slaps you 🤣

As expected I found some time on the bigscreen, little holding back on exits but did enough 360's this morning 🤣
Did enter the 26 though 😁

 

[eggmann]

This should quell my ocd for a few days. Happy lapping!

 

[Hiropairippu]

What a great fun TT.

I thought the Teriyaki Vulcan was goona be boring, but what a hoot it is

 

[GT_GUY4]

Don't get me wrong, driving a car at 80-90% of it's capabilities can be a totaly different experience, it can be fun, correcting the oversteer, enjoying the weight transfer, cruising nicely and it's all good. But when you try to squeeze every last milisecond out of it, then the frustration begins

Completely agree but it also gets more frustrating when you get an invalid lap😅
