Nice job amigo!

If I may suggest 😁

T12 in 2nd , i tried 3th also but im consistently faster in 2nd and shifting to 3th for the exit of T13

Then T14 definitely in 2nd like you do and right before the apex on T15 up to 3th, seems a bit to slow in the beginning bit it's much more stable in 3th, and if you hit is right definitely faster!

Nice work!

The very next [complete] lap. In by .313". I am not confident this will hold. P1 will need to be an 11.590" to bump me out.

Kills me because the very next lap I was up on that by .480" and threw it all away in one turn. That's how Nord'll do ya!

I swear, I spent over 40mins straight trying to break into gold range for the online time trial featuring the Porsche Mission X @ RBR, but I couldn't do it. I did end up improving my time, though, so now I'm 3.03% off the top. I'd say I'm quite content with this highly-secure silver.

Thanks a lot my dear friend Jomar for your always very accurate advice.
I will try all of this tomorrow and congratulate you on your fabulous tour and ranking.
You've been in really good shape for several weeks...doping !!???? 🤔🤔 🤣🤣
I have some suspicions...about your controller....🤣🤣

What tips recommend for nurburgring? I only did a few invalidated laps and cannot play this weekend, but I'm far far away for even silver. The last grand valley with the redbull I managed to get gold but with a lot of practice, and by only +0.32 % of margin. The carrousel is where I'm worst, losing like 5 seconds from gold ghost in that sector alone.

I'm guessing you mean you're far from silver at Nürburgring, and barely in gold at Grand Valley...but there is no "last" Grand Valley with X2019?

Hi guys (and Greek)

I'm back at Grand Valley with the lovely Miss S2000, and very honestly, time flies really fast with her!!!

Another improvement with some positive points and some not-so-positive ones.

S1: 42.497 - Sooo annoying because I had many (really many) S1 around 42.1xx and...pfff. Minimum 3 tenths available here.
S2: 45.344 - Still not happy with my 2nd sectors, I should be minimum 5 tenths faster here.
S3: 47.449 - I lose too much time (+/-3 tenths) before entering the tunnel because I brake too soon and too much.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy and positive because I'm getting closer to my objective here but I'm stupidly losing too much time here and there. Still 12 days to shave "some" tenths....

Happy lapping, folks

Personally, exit out of turn 2 (the slowest corner) is still a mystery for me, I lose so much time there, I tried with TC0, TC1, TC2, modulating the throttle in all the possible ways, but whatever I do, top ghosts just walk away from me there, I can follow them in the bumper no problem for the rest of the lap when I nail it, but that particular corner, impossible.

I have found that in some laps I was able to not only keep up but on occasion catch up to Bruin coming out of that turn.

I found TSC1 best here. As you brake entering, release before turning in, take a slightly wider line (to avoid the hump at the apex) but rather than coasting through, slowly build to 50% thottle after coming off the brakes and before the apex. Maintain 50% through the curve then as you straighten increase to 80% throttle. Once as your speed gets up to around 160-180 kph (basically I use the gantry as a marker) then go full throttle.

If you enjoy that type of car then it's about practice is the hard answer.

The softer answer is this week across the whole of sports mode is pretty hard, the S2000 is a saving grace.

You have to do laps in the RB thing, funny enough I'd suggest doing a few laps of the RBR to get to figure the car out a bit then head to Nurbs but sector by sector. It's not my thing however so happy for that to stay blank!

I'm still to adjust my T14 and T15 to this way. I believe it can be faster indeed, but it is so counter intuitive at the same. 😅

Looking at the leaderboards I'm 99.99% certain gold on the Nords is not achievable. 6 mins 30 for a silver isn't a gimme, either. I don't think I'm going to torture myself. It's a shame events have to involve this car.

Folks, about a hundred years ago I asked @seadog777 for permission to post a link to a series I was planning into this thread. I have finally got my finger out and done it, and anyone who posts on her is, of course, more than welcome to join. Simple motors, close, friendly racing, and witty banter almost guaranteed...

Cheap Thrills, commencing 6th January 2025, 8:00pm GMT.

Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to introduce myself. I’m Zo, and I’ve been an avid lover of GT since having a go on a pre-launch demo for the very first game. However, despite racing on line for absolutely yonks, organising competitions across different versions of GT and PCars2, I haven’t...
