Time Trial Discussion

Haha 😆
Hey you guys, what's the secret for last turn, I obviously rotate car so much it loses all momentum?

This will sound obvious but having watched @Mistah_MCA's video I've improved that turn (not consistent, but sometimes get it right) - try to push right after the previous right bump/turn to widen the entry, brake in a straight line, then just touch the handbrake to give rotation and get on throttle. Video below starts at the right place for it.

First test in Catalunya :
I think I shouldn't have started this TT. Not very exciting and the slightest mistake is a huge waste of time. I feel like I'm at full speed with the time of 0'47'911 and it's impossible to improve it and find the solution to do better. Really disappointed by this TT and for me it has no interest.

I'd wondered about oil changes and if they affected time trials, but shrugged and imagined no way as surely everything must be equalised – was I wrong? Do I actually need to be watching out for needing oil changes? 😩

The condition of your car makes no difference in these time trials, as when BoP is applied it cancels the negative effects of any mechanical wear to the car to put you on an even playing field.

Hi guys (and Greek)

Last improvement for me today (and probably for this TT) with +/- 0.450 shaved on my previous PB:

S1: 12.747 (with reverse mode) - No shame to admit, it helps a lot to save 3 tenths (or more) on such short track.
S2: 34.374 - My best S2 so far with a better straight (still not perfect) and an excellent slaloom between the concrete blocks.

The entrance of the gold mine is only at 0.250 but it's now incredibly hard to gain the latest hundredths that I really don't know if I'll chase it. Maybe for the fun?
To be honest, this silver score already tastes like a victory.

To the guys in yellow here: hats off, you are legends!!
To the guys in yellow here on controller: go back to your galaxy!!

Well i tried a few ghosts like tidgney and others but couldnt find aliens Gomario ghost, maybe venkman caught it!

But I did improve my twisties lap quite a bit, still bronzey but I will take it!

Reverse mode: I didn't understand how to do it and I didn't succeed (car which remains stuck) and frankly (this is just my opinion) the lap does not start at the end of this straight line but from the turning point. But hey, that’s just my opinion.

I almost had gold a few times last night, but the target keeps slipping away from me. I think this might be it for me, for now at least.

Off to Sarthe.

My friend,

Tidgney's video will explain you this trick better than me with my "Engliche"



But if I've managed to improve my score with or without this trick, I'm sure you can do it too. You only need to find some fun to have the motivation 💪💪💪

Like every TT, the lap starts at the line, exactly where the timer starts.

Don't give him any further instructions please, he is on a roll here 🤣🤣

Yaris sliding hour when the wife hits the shower.....🤣🤣, bad S1 but some progression again

This is going to be a very frustrating leader board competition trial, but fun when we all are so close together, we need more of those short challenges!

Comme à chaque TT, le tour démarre à la ligne, exactement là où le chronomètre démarre

yes I know but because of this trick they arrive faster than those who don't do it

 

[Carlos Fandango]

Hmmm.... think I'll be skipping Barcelona, but I've said similar for prior events and ended up being sucked in
Ran around 200 miles at Le Mans last night, but it's been a long week at work and mistakes were made on track... barely managed to get past Tetre Rouge, but on an extremely messy lap with a couple of taps into the rev limiter, going wide at Arrange and stumbling through the Ford Chicane, I still managed to find 4 hundredths, but in reality gave away 0.5+ over the lap. Lots of promise, very little delivered.

No capture of the car on the lap, but fair to say I wouldn't have been able to keep my drive with Richard Lloyd Racing in the Canon sponsored 962

Ok now I got your point, Jérôme

 

[StevenSpiegel]

Do you think this is gonna be enough?

 

[A_Higher_Place]

Can't believe I'm writing to you guys over half a tenth.. But I need everything I can get. This is tough!

"I'm not dead!"

A lack of energy really impacted my confidence last night, so I wasn't able to get the gold. I'm not too bothered by it though because I'll definitely be able to improve tonight. Curiously, the hardest part of the track is sector 1.
