Time Trial Discussion

[linksracer]

Put in a final ditch effort with the GR Yaris at Barcelona, really hope RB Shooter doesn't decide to improve the top time by another tenth or more. Getting flashbacks to the last offroad trial, also with the GR Yaris around Lake Louise, where RB set a monster time right at the final hour and booted me back to silver.

Spent an 1.5hours last night trying to improve my time as I was right at the cusp of gold. Only managed to improve by 1 tenth with an optimum .300. New best time came after very gradual improvements of 0.01 every few laps. Quite a painstaking task and I still don't feel confident about the gold. I think its safe to say I'm not a fan of the rallying

Also put an initial time in with the Mission X. This thing begrudgingly made me turn track control on 1, too much wheel spin all the way up to 200km/h without it, followed subsequently by some of the world's longest braking distances. Don't think I'll be putting too much more time in here, trying to nail the track limits of Redbull Ring is quite a pain.

I really didn't want to drive the Porsche, but seeing how much fun you all are having, I joined the party

Very pleased with the first session, now I must go into the 20s

Oh I see now. All you aliens were playing somewhere else. Now you all discovered this, my time will plummet, eh? 🫣

Believe me, some of us aren’t having fun

Sorry @bliprunner i decided to hunt for a 1:20.xxx tonight as it might be my last chance. Yeah, this one is frustrating. Again I think there might be a tyre problem on using ‘retry’ in game so my advice to anyone trying; exit to the menu and start again if you crash or want to retry, there’s definitely a fall off in grip after a retry or two so.. PD still hasn’t fixed that glitch. Luckily I didn’t lose my mind like using the X2019 but I still couldn’t say I was enjoying myself.

Dumb car, average track.

ABS weak was holding me back so anyone using that, try ABS normal. TC2 was my fave too, I tried all variations but this worked best for me. Currently between @Tidgney and @Doodle on the table which is cool even if I am an assist using little b1tch!!

@Gomario JSP we shall see, the Yaris is supposed to be just for winter

 

[flimmelblitz]

Got comfortably into silver on my first try with the Porsche, and since I don't enjoy driving that thing I'll take my million and rest. Happy to see the Barcelona Rally Cross TT vanish, and I wouldn't mind if it never came back. It just didn't work for me at all – couldn't even get a bronze time.

 

[daabulls]

Finally got gold in the Yaris (46.503) which took way too long and I never want to drive that car for a long time

 

[ScottPuss20]

Got ahead of my brother and @Jeje6410 yet again. Tricky car to drive but I love it.

 

[NAXEHT]

Seriously difficult. For me, probably the toughest one out of all 118 TT's.

 

[Gogga]

New Time Trials : S2000 on Comfort Softs, BOP on

RB X2019 on Racing Softs, BOP on

 

[StevenSpiegel]

Yay!

And my personal best placement by 3 positions (last week 686 on le mans)

One of the new TT will be hell, the most anticipated green hell on the redbull.

 

[TumeK5]

Not too keen on the X2019 (we knew it was coming), but I'm all for the S2000 <3

 

[ScottPuss20]

Yes!

No!

 

[Gomario JSP]

That S2000 seems fun!, and i'm glad to put the EV to the side and change some gears on a slower RWD
Should get me busy next few days

We all knew it was comming, but h*ll no im participating in that X2019, that's like i said before my worst imaginable combo...
I know the ring quite well but this isn't my idea of fun.... good luck to you guys trying this

@Dan_Tes EPIC colour!!!, that suits the Netherlands in wintertime........ hint hint....

 

[Larzi-]

Yay! My Yaris gold held up (barely). I would have accepted silver too. Start position reset really broke the flow and motivation to improve.

 

[SPDN Stefano]

Damn, after narrowly getting gold at Le Mans and Catalunya after a lot of grinding I am sure the Nürburgring will also be very time consuming again. Wish I had more time for the daily races.

 

[TheNormsk]

I’m pretty certain I’ve reached my natural limit. No improvement on my VR account but I managed to improve the others to the same point.

My old account is now in the lead. Currently 57,60 and 63 on the global leaderboard.

Very nice achievement!, that was a descently fast lap!
This GTPlanet - Chamber of Aliens - Breathingground of immortals is getting out of hand

 

[SPDN Stefano]

I don't want to tell you or anybody else what they can or can't do on a videogame, but don't you think it ruins it for other people a little bit to put three gamertags in the top 100 of the leaderboard? (It doesn't really affect me personally because I am nowhere near the top 100)

Usually I’m lucky if I’m in the top 1000 so this is a bit of an anomaly.

I mean, it's harmless isn't it? The prize is percentage based, not placement based. If he was putting 3 people out of gold then you'd have more reason to be concerned but there's no prizes for top 100.

Top 10 I can understand being miffed at but that's it.

No need to double-post, you could have just edited your original post for this additional sentiment.

The results for TT115 at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya Rallycross Layout in the Toyota GR Yaris RZ "High performance" '20 are over here.
I will later update the opening post with the index of all TTs and the second post with the community scoreboards.

Here are some statistics for TT116 at Red Bull Ring in the Porsche Mission X '23.

Spoiler: GTP Scoreboard

 

[Gomario JSP]

Man look at all those alien badges appear these days, it's getting real
This is all on @half_sourly

 

[Vule]

12 GTP guys in top 100, amazing

 

[Nebuc72]

6:25.3 at my first run of the nords - I think this might be a surprisingly doable combo.
The downforce makes a whole bunch of the Nords flat out, I feel like I lost more time to the ghost in the GP section than I did the Nordschleife entirely. Certainly not a safe time yet but I know I've a fair few seconds still to lose as well.

It ruins the statistics. I remember it being really annoying on Forza Motorsport to get a P20 or something and ahead of you is a guy with three gamertags and another guy with five gamertags. Why? Ego?

 

[Lomic]

81st at the moment with one stint, cool, will try to improve a bit.

 

[LogSwapper]

I quite like the X2019, just cannot understand why Pd insists on using it on these narrow twisty tracks it is completely unsuitable for. Atlanta, nürburgring, I mean..
