How much until it goes up to THE most difficult one? What time is needed? Not that I am cheering for it, just curious 🧐

It's not just time; the other columns in the main table play a role too in the algorithm. Still a long way to go though, so I'm sure more people will creep into gold, silver and bronze over the next week and a half.
Despite the awkward start setup, this is a great little TT.

I'm still turning as I'm coming to the line and straightening out as I come up to it. I'm trying to get the throttle down and have it angled to the line as early as possible, rather than slide through - as that's where you bleed off the speed.
I'm trying!!!

Jesus Christ I have no chance at rally TT. It feels so.. random for me. I love DR2.0 and am alright at it but I never liked dirt stuff in this game, have never understood it, and a bunch of laps here now really hammer home that I don’t ‘get’ where I’m gonna gain the time.
That said, I did manage to improve my Le Mans time to be back in gold! Don’t want to spend more time on it but I know I could go a bit lower.

Any tips for controller users on this TT? I'm stuck in 47.122 since my first session, and cannot see how improve that.

How are you all tackling the chicane after the tarmac? What’s working for you?
Finding like I’m not sure where track limits generally are on parts of this track too. The right corner after the jump has gotten me often, and that chicane is just an unknown.
Much the same boat as @StevenSpiegel here.
edit: video of my 47.024 so far.
another edit: 46.899
Also, is it possible to get splits against my ‘record’ or the loaded ghost, rather than my PB in that ‘session’? Losing splits every time I do a restart is starting to irk me 🥲

@EmSixTeen feels like you are going way too wide on the long left, 47th seconds of you 2nd video. Keep closer to the curb.
That's kind of insane, when I am sitting under top 150(46.398) and not sure if it's enough for gold.

Hi,
Ohhhhh what have I done? Despite my reservations and earlier comments - I entered the Catalunya TT.
"Advanced Muppetry" has struck me once more.🤪🤪🤪
Managed to get it in the 1:47:7xx area after plenty of red laps.
Much studying and watching all of your ( Incredibly helpful!!! ) videos.
I fear that this one will bring to an end my long gold streak though. Bummer!
Best of luck to you all who are struggling to gold this one. As our well known, and much loved, fellow combatant would say...
ATTACK!!!
Best regards to all here.
Ian.

Not a bad lap at all!
The forlast chicane, I think your rotation point is to late, you can better compromise a little entry speed there and be on throttle before the actual turn, I have a slightly different line there what seems to work for me .
Just try to get that weighttransfer done a little earlier
If you nail that chicane your definitely in!

I still don't feel safe. But I'm not sure how to gain anymore. I think this is my ceiling.
Edit: Well, apparently I tell lies. Still doesn't feel safe though.

I share my lap under the hashtag #slowyaris
The worst part is the final turn I think, but with that turn alone, I cannot gain the needed three tenths for gold.
My god, I got now a 735, gold is 701...
Finally, but I know is not going to be enough.

I think my will may be breaking with Le Mans, I switched back to the Nissan and can't hook up a consistent lap for love nor money, I'm in silver, about 900 miles in and a tenth or so off Gold but I think I just need to accept I ain't got a gold in me this time 🥲
Also screw those track limits...

I had another crack at Le Mans yesterday but I could not improve. I don't understand. Le Mans is one of my favourite tracks and I know it really well so how the hell am I suffering soo much? I thought I knew everything about it but I've been proven wrong this time. Every gear shift, every turn, every brake application and every throttle input has to be perfect everywhere. The accuracy required is not easy to achieve on a controller because it's soo hard to know exactly how much has to be done within such a small tolerance window. A lot of it is down to guesswork, so replicating the same results time and time again is difficult, especially on such a long track. Turn too little, you understeer off the track. Turn too much and you end up cutting the track or hitting the inside ripple strip too hard. The torque curve of the R92CP is not consistent due to the turbochargers, so getting your shift points right is key when the car is scrabbling for traction coming out of Tetra Rouge, Mulsanne Corner and Arnage. Then we have the issue with track limits. Either police them all the same way or don't bother with it. I shouldn't have to second guess myself all the time.

I am currently stuck on 3:28.750 at Le Mans. In replays I see everybody short shifting into 4th gear at the apex of Tertre Rouge. Why is that faster than going to the rev limiter in 3rd gear? There is no wheelspin in 3rd gear?

Because the gearbox is manual and you don't lose time on shifting into 4th, and at that apex speed, you can easily accelerate from 4th without losing any momentum, there is no lag at that RPM.

In the end, I using 3rd gear, seems faster for my bad driving skills, for using 4rth gear and taking real advantage, you must be so precise in the corner, not worth it IMHO.

Morning all,
Had another Go in the shoebox,
Keep beeing a weird little car, but i do enjoy the short trials far more than the longer ones.
Not the progression i hoped for this morning cause i binned some better laps
but incosistency is a thing here.
At least licking the top 100 for the 100th time this trial
S1 was descent but the long lefthander eats me everytime, i'm trying to @Mistah_MCA my way trough but everytime i try i loose so much momentum...., to be continued, i'm cooking on that
Regarding the video, it's far more easy to upload you video so we can comment on it here, and then maby others can take advantage of that too
although i prefer to get that extra bit of rotation yanking it in 3th.

It's just more optimal due to the lack of another gearshift on the "straight" , if you nail it you can even stay in 4th.

That makes sense, actually. I need every little advantage I can get so I'll definitely try it out. Maybe try exiting the final chicane in 3rd gear too. Would be frustrating to miss out on gold by such a small margin on a 3:28 long track.
- 66
- Spain
The last chicane I exit on 2nd, but TCS 1, cause I'm not a fast driver, I prefer more control on exits, and at the moment I'm gold by a half a second margin. Changing the TCS to 1 make me fastest overall and get into gold.

Final chicane in 3rd gear for sure, but be early on the throttle to build enough boost. Enter the first part of the chicane in 1st, while on the first curb quick shift into 3rd and apply half throttle even before the right curb, then full throttle as you exit.
Only 2 times you need to use 2nd gear for exits:
And you need to practice throttle control very much here, that's the key for a quick lap, 70-80% for initial exit and then gradually to 100%, push 2nd right to the limiter but don't hit the limiter. This is the tricky part where most people lose time, you can load some top 10 ghost and reset it every sector, that's the best way to find out if you are doing a good job on acceleration from slow corners.

Thanks for the advice man. My main problem is the consistancy. I need a lot of tries to arrive at the Mulsanne hairpin with a good spit time. If I miss gold it won't be because of a lack of effort lol. We'll see what happens.
